The train conveying Prince Alexander
a halt by the discovery that near the former

the rails. The revolutionary regiments at
Sofia surrendered, with an appeal for
clemency: Prince Alexander made
triumphal entry Friday morning, received
addresses of welcome in the palace square,
reviewed the troops, received the foreign
diplomatic representatives, and ordered the
release of all political prisoners.
WILL THERE DE A WAR?
Prince Alexander proclaimed his abdca-
ton Tuesday. Russian cOnsuls in Bull garia
are securing signatures to petition to the
car favoring the succession of Prince
Oldenburg. 1t appears that Prince Alex
ander received telegraphlc advice from Bis
marck to abdicate and save Bulgaria. Dis
patches from Sofia allude to the probability
of civil war OIL the departure of the prince.
1t Is said that Turkey is making military
on the Aslatic frontier.
The Bulgarian complication is exciting
increased interest with every day of UNI
certainty. Prince -AleXander's abdication
of the throne is having very depressing
effect on the European stock exchanges to-
day and the gravest results are universally
feared. A serious continental war would
not surprise any one, and there is much In
the behavior of Russia to indicate that this
is her political object, in addition to the
hatred in which Alexander is held by the
imperial family. The cZal's enmity toward
the prince is due to the influence of the
czarina, whose antipathy to him equals the
great liking entertained by the present
cars mother for this, her favorite nephew.
The former czarina left AleXandera legacy
of S2,000,G00 to be surrendered to him at
her death. 1t is stated that Alexander has
received only the interest on thus legacy
from time TO time.
Among the rlmOrs set afi0at to account
for the princes unexpected decision to alb.
dictate, 1t is said that in long interview
the Russian consul ut Lemberg persuaded
Alexander that by submitting absolutely to
the plans of Russia he could be restored
to the cZar's favor. Overcome
rs he was by nervous proStration, and
eager to find the nearest way out of his
difficulty and out of the perpleXty i'm
which the affairs of Bulgaria had fallen,
Alexander trusted this assurance implicitly
md aSSented to place himself thus III the
,zar's hands. The result is only another
evidence of the treachery and falsehOod of
Russian diplomacy, from which Great Brit.
lii has suffered more than once.
