Russia and Bulgaria.

A second meeting said to have been
called because of the receipt of serious news
from Bulgaria and Greece took place in
Gladstone's room. Orders have been re-
ceived at Devonport to have all the torpedo
vessels there in readiness for sea at short
notice. "A dispatch from st. Petersburg
says the Russian Government has definitely
decided to occupy Bulgaria within few
weeks unless Prince Alexander submits to
the wishes of Russia. Prince Alexander
refuses absolutely to submit to the Powers,
as demanded by Russia, the question
whether his title to Governor of Eastern
Roumelia is for life, as he claims, or, as
Russia contends, for term of five years.
AS Russia has sacrificed much in Bulgaria s
interest she has a right to expect Bulgaria
to listen to her. 1t is reported that Russia
has notified the Powers of her intention to
occupy bulgaria in the event of Prince
Alexander's final refusal to accept the
Governorship of Roumelia for five years
only.

ruary last, there are 442 private schools in
Toxic, exclusive of private common schools.
Six or seven hundred cases of adulterated
tea have been discovered at the Yokohama
market. On inquiry it was found that the
cases had been already condemned as illegal
and sent back to the producing districts
but were again returned to the market on
the chance of being disposed of. AS the
weather is very favorable for the growth OF
tea plants, good season is anticipated this
year. Reports from the tea districts con-
tinue to be of the most favorable charac ter,
and samples of new leaf are expected to be
shown in the middle of next month.

English Affairs.

The relations between Chamberlain and
Gladstone are more strained than ever.
Chamberlain will make a bitter fight, for
unless he wins he will be destroyed. In all
probability the Irish leaders will give a full
history of his secret negotiations with them.
It will then be known that he offered home
rule and even declared his readiness to ac-
cept an Irish republic on condition that the
Irish party would help him overthrow
Gladstone, Harrington and the House of
Lords. The Irish party, with one or two
exceptions, always mistrusted him and pre-
ferred to look to Gladstone for carrying
home rule through Parliament. Gladstone
has justified the soundness of their judg-
ment If he cannot carry it, no man can.
Gladstone's voice is again causing him
some anxiety, and he has gone to the coun-
try to spend two or three days for the pur-
pose of recuperating. His physicians have
impressed upon him that he must reserve
his energies if he wishes to speak in the
House of Commons on Thursday.

FROM THE ORIENT.
The Feeling I'm China Against the
United States of America.

The Feeling In China Against she
United States of America.
A correspondent of the China Mail writes
as follows from Canton The news from
America is too indefinite and incomplete to
move the people. The time of possible
danger has not yet arrived. OF course
many Chinese will be leaving the United
States in consequence of the recent out
break, and all reports they bring will influ-
ence the anti-foreign feeling more than any
thing else. 1t will therefore be difficult to
say when all danger of demonstration
against foreigners is past. Hitherto the
talk of the town has been directed against
the Irish and not against the United States as
such. Should the telegram which states
that President Cleveland will not entertain
the idea of compensation be true, the whole
aspect of the question will be changed.
Such is the opinion of intelligent Chinese.
The matter becomes q national offense, and
the United States as such must bear the re.
sponsibility. 70 attempt TO stop immigra-
ton is absurd and must end In disaster.
immigration obeys natural laws, and the
only thing that can be done is to regulate il.
All nght-minded men, whether Europeans
or Americans, must sympathize with the
Viceroy i'll his demand for compensation.
On the other hand, we hope that any at
tempt to secure compensation will be made
in accordance with law and recognized Gus
tom.

Japanese Jottings.

There have been 685 deaths so far since
the smallpox broke out in Japan.
The Emperor being now over fifteen
years of age and the time for his marriage
being near at hand, the Eight Banners have
been ordered to find out the eligible daugh-
tiers, between fourteen and seventeen, of
Manchu officials of the 4th and 9Th ranks,
so as to furnish the youth with an Empress
Consort and inmates for his Imperial serag-
Ito.
The agent of large German firm is
about to proceed to China for the purpose
of negotiating with the Chinese Govern
ment as to loan of EDS, 600, 900 to be used
in the construction of railways and in the
strengthening of the military defenses of
the empire.
1t is rumored at Canton that Japan is
making great preparations for war and the
Chinese surmise that the intention is to
attack Corea. Another opinion held by
those who give credence to the rumor is
that Japan deems it necessary to be pre-
pared for war, having reason to fear that
China will attempt to seize upon LoochOo.

COrea.

A serious riot occurred in Seoul over the
attempt of Chinaman to smuggle in some
red ginseng, which is the Kings special
property. The customs officials were beaten
by a number of Cinnamon and narrowly
escaped with their lives. An attempt was
made to drive all the foreigners from the
town, but marines were sent on shore from
the gunboats and order was restored. Six
of the ringleaders in the riot have been
deported, and the property destroyed by
the rioters is to be replaced at the expense
of those Chinese who took part in the riot
His Majesty the King on February 5th
(the End of the Corean new year, issued an
edict aboishing slavery in his kingdom.
The decree orders that the guild which
furnished slaves to the Government be
abolished, as well as the guilds connected
with the various palaces for a similar pur-
pose, and that the books or lists of paupers
held by slave masters be burned. Hence
forth there can be no slaves in Corea, save
| those who voluntarily, because of poverty
or otherwise, sell themselves; but the chill
dren of such are to be all free born.

Cleveland and tho Chinese.

Cleveland calls the earnest attention Of
Congress, in his message on Chinese immi-
grafton, to the circumstance that the statute
makes no provision whatever for the some
wAat numerous class of Chinese persons
who, retaining Chinese subsection in some
countries Other than China, desire to come
from such countries to the United States.
Chinese IN rchants, he says, have trading
operations of magnitude throughout the
world. They do not b come citizens of the
country where they may temporarily reside
and trade. They continue to be subjects Of
China, and to them the explicit exemption
of the treaty applies. Yet, if sueh n sub
Jet is the head of mercantile houses at
Hongkong, or Yokohama, or Honolulu, or
Havana or Colon, he is met with the re-
quirement that he must produce a certif-
cate in the prescribed form and in the Eng
fish tongue, issued by the Chinese Govern
ment. If there be at the place of his resi-
dence, no representative of the Chinese
Government competent to issue a certificate
in the prescribed form, he can obtain none,
and is under the provisions of the present
law, unjustly debarred from entering the
United States.

SIR CHARLES dixie.
His wrath Aroused I'm the House of
Commons.

Commons.
In Parliament, H. J. Wilson, member
from Yorkshire, asked whether in a recent
case in the divorce court (here he turned
toward Sir Charles Dixie, who sat behind
the Treasury benchl it was decided that the
evidence upon which the respondent was
found guilty of adultery, was not receivable
as against the correspondent, and whether
he was prepared to take steps with the view
to making the law of evidence in cases of
adultery similar to the law of evidence in
cases of conspiracy.
Sir Charles Russell, Attorney General,
defended the adultery rule, and denied the
applicability of conspiracy In reference to it,
and said: g I see no reason to suggest any
point referred to-"
Dixie, pale, but preserving command of
his voice, addressing the Speaker, said ::
Et The question just asked cannot but be
taken as referring to the case in which 1
was recently concerned. I wish to ask the
honorable member who has just asked the
question, that if he thinks it right that the
matter should be mentioned in the House.
he would raise it in form which would en-
able me in some way to meet it in the
House."
Wilson made no sign, but soon after told
the reporters that he accepted the challenge,
and would move an amendment to lay be-
fore the House evidence covering any fu-
ture parallel case to the Crawford-Dilke con-
troyersy. 1t seemed to be the general Opin-
ion, that Sir Charles had again Numbered
BY noticing the matter after the Attorney
Generals explicit answer.

Rock of Home RuIe.

The breaking up of the Cabinet is
imminent. Lord Kimberly, Sir William
Harcourt, Mr. Childers and Mr.. Mundella
refuse to consent to any home rule measure
giving Ireland control of the customs, and
threaten to resign if such measure be in
sisted upon by Gladstone. Morley de-
mands a modification of the plans for bry-
ing out the landlords. Gladstone, how
ever, remains inhexible, and will maintain
his full scheme intact. Cabinet councils
are to be held this week, and the climax
will be reached on April 9th. The Ministers
themselves admit that an agreement seems
improbable. Gladstone may make his
statement on April Sth without the ap-
prevail of the minority.

CAMBRIDGE WINS THE RACE.
The Oxford Boat Crew Defeated, After
n Splendid Contest.


Splendid Contest.
Cambridge won the university boat race
on the Thames. The sky was cloudy, the
weather mild, and the wind pretty strong.
At the start and during the race the water
was sufficiently 'lumpy' to put to thor
OUCH test the stamina of the men in the
contest. Betting was in favor of the Cam
bridge crew. The river banks were crowd
ed with people, thousands of people making
the race event holiday. large crowd of
rough and ill-clad persons appeared on the
scene, as if to remind the holiday makers
that they were Englishmen and incapable
of enjoying themselves. These marched in
procession along the race-course, headed
by a band and bearing banners calling at
tention to distress among the unemployed.
The excitement at the close was thrilling.
Up to almost the finish, the race belonged
to either side, and the excitement among
the partisans along the river banks was in
creased from minute to minute from the
start by the continuous evenness of the
rowing and the equalization of advantages
until the splendid finish relieved the excite
ment, which broke and dissipated in per-
feet thunder of applause. The race is
everywhere pronounced the greatest ever
pulled on the Thames since the dead heat
of 1877. The length of the course was four
miles and a quarter. The time made by
the Cambridges was 22.29H-the longest
occupied in any of the university races
since the contest of 1877. The tide was
poor and the race was rowed against strong
head winds almost the whole way, two
facts which sufficiently explain the time
made. In view of the continuous hard
pulling done by the crews the men of both
were very much exhausted at the finish.
The Oxfords' boat was steered badly in
racing.

Bismarck on Socialism.

Prince Bismarck, in his recent speech in
the Reichstag, abiding to the growth of
socialism, said that in the time of the
French revolution socialism had proved a
powerful spiritual lever of the French vic
tories, and tibet history might be repeated,
though he thought the present French
army was opposed to a workingmen's Gov
eminent. 1T is impossible" he contin-
ued, to tell which party would be victori-
Gus if great European troubles should again
arise, because they would be partly of an
international nature. When these move
ments come I would have Germany oppose
them to her utmost The speech has
created a sensation in connection with the
great socialist troubles in Belgium and
other countries.

on ON the rroubled wntern.

A communication from Captain Brown Of
the British schooner John Willard, reports
that in February last. he encountered q
terrific gale of wind, with great seas run
ming, which would constantly break over
the vessel. To save the vessel ID was de-
cided to use oil. A two bushel salt bag
made of burlap. was filed with ton pounds
of oakum, saturated with one gallon of
kerosene oil andsuspended from the weather
forerigging. The vessel at the time was
hove to under double-reefed forsail and was
heading west-southwest. The effect was
wonderful. The oil spread for ffty yards
around the vessel, Captain Brown says, and
after doing this, not bucketful of water
came ON deck.

Gladstone laid before the Ministers his

The Earl of Kimberly, Secretary for India,
Childers, Home Secretary, Sir William YER
non Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and Mr.. Mundeua, President of the Board
of Trade, are as much opposed as ever to
that feature which surrenders the control of
the customs in Ireland, and, as Gladstone
remaines firm, these Ministers, rumor says,
will resign.

BRITISH POLITICS.
Gladstone and ParneII Denounced in
London.

A great mass meeting was held in Guild
hall, to protest against the granting of q
Parliament to Ireland. The Lord Mayor
presided. Sir John Lubbock (Liberal)
Member of Parliament for London Univer-
sity, moved the adoption of resolution
condemning Gladstone for his intention to
hand Ireland over to Parnell, whom he had
previously denounced. A workingman
arose and offered an amendment to Lub-
books resolution, but was howled down,
and the resolution was carried amid wild
enthusiasm.
At every mention of Parnell's name the
audience Missed. The name of the Premier
was treated in the same way. Every time
any speaker used it, there were cries of
Gladstone is a lunatic." All the speeches
were intensely patriotic and the speakers
were loudly cheered.

GREECE AND THE POWERS.
Affairs In the East Alarming western
Europe.

The Eastern crisis has created general
alarm throughout Western Europe. Berlin
advices point to war, all efforts TO make the
Greeks hear reason having failed. Con-
fidence has since been regained, Lord Rose
berry carrying his point. Greece now as
serts that war against Turkey means def
ance to United Europe. Russia, if she
does not take part in active measures,
should such become necessary, will not OPP
pose them.
The British Admiralty has ordered four
more torpedo-boats to proceed to the Medit-
eranean.
DeFreycinet, Prime Minister, at a meet
