conditions makes a wonderful change in
the relative speed of yachts. But it was a

1t is with great satisfaction that it is
noted that although our merchant marine

been kept alive in the coast trade, and re-

Esgland's Precarious Situation.

1t begins to look very much as though
the present English government in their
desperate anxiety to avoid wreck on the
Irish rock are in danger of going straight
TO destruction on the Bulgarian quick
Ands. Russia has driven the Prince of
Bulgaria from power and England has not
given the slightest hint that she feels the
a0r0nt. The great triple alliance of the
strongest nations on che continent treats
England with contempt and the English can
not fail to see it IN that light, though they
are slow-thinking people and the idea
may not dawn UPON them for little
while. But when it does, woe to the party
in power
England has not been in the habit in the
past of counting noses before fight, and
II she can secure the alliance of France or
Italy, and Turkey, the present triple alli-
ance may be balanced. France at present
Is strongly in sympathy with Russia, as the
natural enemy of Germany, but French
sympathy is subject to sudden revulsions.
Turkey is by no means Insignificant as an
ally, for the Turks are still among the best
soldiers in the world and are now well
armed If not well officered.
He will be skillful statesman who can
keep England from drifting into the dan
gerous whirlpool of war that appears to be
forming in the East.

The oonspirators against the Prince of Bul.
garia have given their side OF the story of the
dethroning Of that ruler. and of course they
represent 1t as the result of popular uprising
caused by sentiments OF gratitude towards
Russia and dissapproval of the course OF
their prince towards the car. They try
hard to paint the prince black, hut the worst
they can say of him is that he has surrounded
himself with political refugees from Russia
but it takes so little Independence of speech
to make a Russian a refugee that the class
cannot be regarded dangerous. The as
sertion that every regiment of the Bulgarian

glance TO the provisional government the day
after the flight of Alexander is more im-
portant and, If true, indicates that there is
great deal of nonsense about the devotion
OF the army to their prince. The tone Of his
address to his officers hinted at this, and it
affords plausible excuse for his abdication.
