LONDON, Nov. 16.-Russia has desig-
mated Prince Nicholas. of Mingrelia, as her
candidate for the throne of Bulgaria. The

der. and have invited Russia to now pro-
pose a satisfactory solution of the conflict
with the Bulgarian regency.

PEsTH, Nov. 16.-Count AndrasSy, in
his speech IN the delegations to-day. said
that he believed that the Au, ro-German
alliance was the best guarantee Of European
peace, but that the character of the alliance
was lost when it became imperative to con-
slider Russian interests in the Balkan ques-
ton. Herr Tszas' programme had secured
Germany's support under all circumstances.
The existing government in Bulgaria was
THE LAWFUL GOVERNMENT.
1t was only needed to settle the question
of fusion with Roumelia. Russia, in his
opinion, had no special prerOgatives in
Bulgaria. Count KalnOky explained that
his statement on Saturday referred
especially to the fusion question. Russia
was under an equal obligation with the
other sgnatory powers to assist in the set
tlement OF that question. He fully agreed
with Count AndrasSy that autonomy OF
Bulgaria and the provisions of the Berlin
treaty must be maintained. Nevertheless
Russia'S relations with Bulgaria were OF
great Importance for the latterS future.
Count AndraSsy declared that he was salts
fed with the explanation.
In the course o1 the debate to-day Count
Itchy related story to the effect that a
year before Prince Alexander was de-
throned it was arranged between Russia
and Montenegro that Prince Karageorge-

Andrassy's expression of disapproval of the
triple alliance was loudly applauded, as
was also Count Appony's reproach that the
government was only careful about seeing
that forms were preserved intact, while
Russia was trying to obtain material sue
cesses. Count Andrassy complained that
insufficient use was made of the German
alliance. Austria, he said. did nothing,
but expected Germany to do everything for
interests with vigor. Germany would have
proved a good ally. Count Andrassy's re-
marks on the hurtful influence of Russias
entering the alliance excited deal OF dis

those Incorporated in the treaty passed
by the reichstag and reichsrath, but that he
met with such opposition at court that he
was obliged to retire, and Bismarck then
made advances to Russia. forcing Andrassy's
successor to renew the triple alliance.
Count Andrassy's speech is taken as an
indication of the policy he would pursue
if he succeeded Count Kalnoky as
foreign minister. Count Itchy stated that
a treaty had been formally signed between
Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, and Prince
KarageOrgirch, in the presence of the Mon
tenegrin ministers and senators. in which
KarageOrgirch renOunced his pretensions to
the MOntenegrin throne. 1t is supposed
that Count Itchy learned the facts from
King Milan, of SerVia, with whom he is
very intimate.
