FRANCE BIDING HER TIME
RUSSIA'S RIGHTS IN BULGARIA
RECOGNIZED.


Englsnds Opposition Ridicuied on Ac-
count OF Her Pretensions in Egypt
The Crimoan War characterized as a
Dynastic Struggle and u Sentimental
Crusade-A Pacific Speech from the
German 1hrone.
PARIS, Nov. 25.--John Lemoinne writes
TO La Matin that all the powers except
England recognize Russia's right to exer-
else preponderating influence in Bull
garia. France, he says, was chosen to
protect Russians in Bulg aria because she
is the most neutral power. The French
government does not desire to repeat the
sentimental crusade OF 1864 for England's
advantage. France has never done
anything but promote England's
Eastern interests. The Crimean war
was not a French but dynastic
struggle. M. Lemoinne questions whether
Russia in pursuing her ends in the Black
sea menaces France. England makes a
mistake to speculate upon French isola-
tion- In the present confused state of
European alliances France will not take
decision. She has acquired the right to
collect and husband her strength, and
one day it will be for her to choose her
allies. The Eastern question for France
has been transferred to Egypt. The Eng
lish press, says NJ. Lemoinne, is illogical.
The papers OF England regard as mons
trous the prospect of Bull
garia's becoming dependent upon
Russia, but they consider it
natural that Egypt should become de-
pendent upon England. They think it
wrong that Russian officers should COM
mand the Bulgarian army, while they
believe it right that English officers
should command the forces of Egypt.
The journal says that the protection Of
Russians in Bulgaria has been intrusted
to Germany, and that only in Roumelia.
where there are no German Consuls, will
Russians enjoy French protection.
GERMANY's REICHsTAG.
BERLIN, Nov. 25.-The Relchstag was
opened to-day by Herr Won Boetticher,
Minister of the Interior, who read the

lations with all States, is to exert in favor

the universal confidence reposed in the
empire owing to the fact that Germany is
not concerned in pending questions, and
from the EmperOr's close friendship with

THE sEPTENNATE BILL.
The text of that part OF the Emperor's
speech relating to the septennaCe bill ie

1888. Our military system, therefore, re.

the policy of the empire is always pacific,
