VICTIM OF A RUSSIAN PLOT.
ALExANDERsS PALACE INVADED
AT MIDNIGHT.
Thought Now TO Re n Prisoner I'm
Russia-Public Sentiment Turn.
Ing I'm His Favor.

LONDON, August 25.-Authentic des-
patches from Sofia show that the depos-
ition of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria
was accomplished during the night. One
thoroughly Russianized regiment of cav
airy was detained in the city after night
fall This regiment perfectly under
the control of the revolutionists, sur
rounded the palace about two hours past
midnight. Prince Alexander was in bed
and the palace was closed. The revolu-
tionary leaders. with the assistance of
soldiers, forced their way to the Princes
antechamber, and had him aroused. They
bluntly made known to him the purpose
OF their intrusion. He was stunned, hav.
ing been taken completely unawares.
When he recovered his self-control and
realized the inter helplessness Of his situ-
alton, he bitterly reproached his captors
for their treachery. Tt Is rnmored that he
was compelled TO abdicate under threat of
death. The revolutionists declare thatAlex-
ander signed formal abdication of the
throne. Others, however, assert that he
firmly declined to sign an abdication, and
that he was made prisoner and confined
in remote prison, being told he would
be kept there until he complied with the
demands of the revolutionists. It is said
that the Prince was removed from Sofia
under strong cavalry escort long before
daybreak. The people did not become
acquainted with even the fact of the coup
d'etat until several hours after the Prince
had been removed.
BUCHAREST, August 25.-It is believed
that Prince Alexander has been landed
at Reni a prisoner. The garrison at
Phillippopolis, Eastern Roumelia, has
taken arms in favor of Prince Alexander.
A regiment of infantry, with the band
playing, marched to the foreign Consul
lates, to give notice Of their adherence to
Alexander. The officer commanding
declared that the whole Bulgarian army
was opposed to the deposition of the
Prince, and was prepared to fight and die
for him. The Inhabitants fraternfze with
the troops. The population is frenzied in
favor of Alexander.
The news was received last night that
Prince Alexander has been landed in
Russia, received by Russian imperial
authorities, and declared to be- a State
prisoner.
Disorder prevails in Soga, and the
outlying garrisons are awaiting the signal
to march on the capital. 1t is said that
the Roumellan militia are also prepared
for active service and that Alexander's
cause is hourly gaining ground. 1t is re-
ported that sanguinary encounter has
taken place among troops at Jassy, Rou-
mania. resulting in the killing and wound.
ing of many on both sides.

Cardinal Gibbons on the knights Of
Labor.

The announcement of the Cardinal-Arch-
bishop of Baltimore with regard to the atti-
tude of the Church in the United States
toward the Knights of Labor and other or
ganizations of workingmen will be read
with universal and unalloyed satisfaction.
t'The Catholic prelates," the Cardinal says,
twill to a man declare in favor of the or
ganization of labor. There can be no
wrong in such a course. Organization is
the basis of all progress, political, social,
and religious Only when it is qmsed does
the Church raise her voice and cal out her
children
The distinction between a lawful and an
unlawful oath is laid down by Cardinal
Gibbons with all possible clearness. IF a
man." he declares, "ioins society swear
ing never to reveal any of it's workings, no
matter how criminal, and to obey the die
tates of It's officers blindly, he surrenders
his personal liberty, becomes slave to his
fellow man and cannot partake OF the
Sacraments of the Church. On the other
hand if q man joins an organization and
.swears to keep secret its workings with
the proviso that nothing therein shall be
contrary to the laws of the land, his con-
science, and his religious tenets, his action
is perfectly justifable." And he adds that
il the latter oath be that which is taken by
the knights of Labor the Church says to
them, ''God speed you"
This should, as it undoubtedly will, give
to the members of the Knights of Labor
and kindred organizations the strongest
possible encouragement i'll all efforts for the
maintenance of their rights and the i'm
provement of their condition. 1t will also
have the effect of inspiring them with a
determination to promote their objects by
means and methods deserving of the ap-
proval of all good citizens, and with re-
solve to prove themselves worthy of the
sanction and endorsement which they have
received, and will tend powerfully to pre-
vent recourse to any measures opposed to
the dictates of conscience or the laws by
which we are governed.
Every Knight of Labor should now feel
il his bounden duty to endeavor to prove
his Organization deserving of the commen-
dation bestowed upon it from so high q
source and to confirm the opinion enter
tanned of the good faith, sound Judgement
and reliable character of its esteemed chief.
All must recognize the fact that to the WIS
dom and prudence as well as to the indefa-
tigablc exertions of Mr.. Powderly is owing
in great part, not only the success OF the
Organization, but the estimation in which
it is held by those whose opinions are most
deserving Of respect.-Irish World.
