She Will Resist Interference in Her Affairs
by Either Russia or Turkey.
LONDON, Oct. 20-Bulgaria is expected to
meet the difficulty of Turkeys objection to
Roumelians sitting in the Great Sobranje by eX-
cluding them from participating in the election
of Prince to succeed Prince Alexander, on the
ground that participation by them in such pro-
ceedings would be illegal, but allowing them to
be present and take part in the ordinary legisla-
tive work Of the body.
Gadban Effendi, the Turkish representative,
has informed the Bulgarian Ministry that he has
been instructed to act in concert with General
Kaulbars, the Russian agent, whose arrival at
Soia Gadben Effendi says, he will await before
making for Turkey definite proposals to Bull
garia, strongly advising the Ministry, however,
in the meantime to concede The Russian de-
mands and postpone the meeting of the Great
Sobranje to elect successor TO the Bulgarian
throne. AS soon as Gadban Effendrs informa-
tion was received special Cabinet Council was
held to consider what he had presented. The
result of this council was that Gadban Effendi
was informed that "the Bulgarien government
would no more brook Turkish than it would
Russian interference, but would resist both,
with the comforting conviction that any misfor-
tunes likely to overtake Bulgaria would never
compare in seriousness with the retribution
awaiting the lnfatuation of Turkey"
1t is reported in Zankoff tpro-Russian) cir
cles that Gadban Effendi has confidently stated
that the Gear has made arrangement with
the Porte, the Car guaranteeing the integrity
of the Sultans dominions reducing the Turk-
sh war indemnity, and obtaining permission to
garrison and fortify the Dardanelles and to
occupy Bulgaria with Russian and Roumelia
with Turkish troops.
Alarm is felt over the massing of Turkish
troops which is'at present in progress along the
Bulgarian frontier.
The Regency have published decree con.
vening the Great Sobranje on Oct. 27. The
foreign consuls, excepting the Russian repre-
sentative, will attend the opening.
The Paris Journal Des Debats says that the
three empires have come to an understanding
on the Bulgarian question on the following basis,
namely: That Russia shall not occupy Bulga-
ria, and that Austria and Germany shall not
recognize either the regency or the Prince elect
ed by the Sobranje without the assent of Russia.
The Vienna Freie Press has dispatch saying
"Gadban Effendi has presented note to the
regency demanding that the meeting of the So
branje be postponed sine die, on the ground that
Russia does not approve the recent elections and
the powers have not yet decided upon candi
date for the vacant throne. The whole tenor of
the note is pro-Russan."
There is much excitement in Austrian official
circles
At st. Petersburg it is stated that on Sunday
next, on the occasion of the unveilipg Of a mon
ument commemorating the Russo Turkish war,
the Gear will deliver an energetic speech and
will publish decree announcing Russo-T Turk-
ish occupation of Bulgaria and Roumelia.
