A BULGARIAN REGENCY PROPOSED.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Sept. 7.-Novoa
Vremya advocates the formation of
Bulgarian regency, which shall enjoy the
confidence of Russia and inherit Prince
Alexandria rights to govern Eastern
Roumelia. The same paper discusses the
union OF Bulgaria and Russia, des-
cants upon the advisabIlity of "tem-
porary Russian military occupation"
and refers to the policy of Russia
afording material and moral support to-
the new Bulgaria, so as to harmonize
Bulgaria's foreign policy with the Russian
Pan-slavist interest. bulgarian vassal-i

bought Turkeys suzerain rights in Bul,

GERMANY's INTEREST.
BERLIN, Sept. THE North German
Gazette disputes the assertions of the
British press that Austrian and Russian
interests in the Balkans are conflicting.
"They can easily be reconcileG if they are
conflicting" the Gazette says, land to
reconcile them is Germany's aim.
Prince Bismarck can unhesitatingly
express the conviction that Bulgaria
is OF no Importance to Germany. AS
Prince Bismarck plays his cards, sur Ia
table with friendly imperial pow
ers, it is erroneous to suppose
that any enlargement will arise
between Gthe three empires when the
question OF succession to Prince Alex
ander IS up for discussion. Inasmuch
as under Prince Alexander's reign
no enmlty existed between Russia
and Austria, although Prince Alexander,
In secondary sense, ruled under Russian
influence. The German nation shares in
the conviction OF its government that the
events in Bulgaria do not affect the ma
tional interests OF Germany, and that
German policy follows the right path.
There need be no fear of Prince Bismarck
sitting between two stools. On the con-
trary, he has chosen sure foundations ane
has three stools for his policy"
TONE OF TAE AUSTRIAN PRESS.
VIENNA. Sept. 7.-Die Frehdenblatt
says Prince Alexander's abdication was
an act Of true self-saerifice for Bulgaria,
1t was a noble act to avert dangers from
the country. We hope that the question
OF succession will be peacefully and le-
gally settled. The press urges the gov
ernment to pursue sound, vigorous pol
icy of compensation and to avoid the sui
cidal policy of pulling either Bulgarian
or English chestnuts out OF the Russian,
fire.
Die Neue Frei Press says: austria
does not need feel any anxiety, as she is
not compelled to approve OF every Rus
sian act. Peace obtained by Europe yields
Ing almost always to Russian demands
would be precarious peace"
