The Bulgarian Crisis.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The Vienna Fremden-
blatt says:
The Bulgarian regency has sKifully main
tanned order in Bulgaria. In trying to con-
slider the wishes of the powers, while acting
in accord with the law, the regents may bear
the attendant responsibility without disquiet-
ude. Gen. Kaulbars conduct at the Voult-
chaef meeting in Sofia, and his projected
Journey through Bulgaria and Roumelia, are
not calculated to promote conciliation.
Diplomatic representatives are always accred-
tied to the government and not to the masses.
Every government must regard open dealings
of foreign ENJOYS with a mob as violations of
it's authority Regret will be felt at st.
Petersburg, as elsewhere, at a course of con-
duct which must weaken Russia's just and
moral influence in Bulgaria. If Russia de-
sires to succeed, her agents must become
better acquainted with the Berlin treaty, and
Gen Kaulbars appears to care little for the
fundamental principles underlying the
treaty.

commenting on the British foreign policy.
as outlined by Lord Randolph Churchill in
his hartford speech, says:
Lord Randolph ChurchilFs speech may en-
courage the Irish and Hindoos, or, if English
solicitude for oppressed people is only an
article for export, it may be an advantage in
Egypt. Englands present interests in the
union of the two Bulgarias is strange COM
mentary on Lord Beaconsfeld's action in cut
ting the principality in two. Greece will
think England's tenderness toward the
Balkan states must be intermittent, and not
general. The sultan will find difficulty in
reconciling Lord Randolph ChurchllPs policy
with Tory solicitude for the integrity of
Turkey. Lord Randolph Churchilps distinc-
ton between the peaceable and aggressive
powers is very original. Which powers

SECOND RUssA'S EFFORTS
in Bulgaria, which have the same object,
especially at this critical moment, when
everything is upside down and when the
country is under the regime of coup d. etats
and the revolutionary adventures who have
for many years demoralized it. 10 give
carte blanche 10 a band of agitators with a
force at their disposal which they abuse; to
allow them to commit acts of violence, under
the guse of legal Judgment, upon persons
who do not happen to belong to their party;
to allow these men to convoke the electors
suffering under this regime Of military force,
terror and cudget to enable the assembly to
meet and sanction their mlSdeedS; this cannot
be precisely the means to realize the English
cabinets dreams OF conciliatory pacific al ms.
Russia's sole object is to preserve Bulgaria
from these deplorabe contingencies and allow
the excited passions of the country to subside
and give the people chance to choose freely
and with mature judgment delegates who will
make known the country's true wishes. We
consider Lord Churchilps cooperation as
sured and we sincerely rejoice at it.
THE NovoA vREMYR SAYS:
AS negotiations between Gen. Kaulbars and
the body falsely called the Bulgarian govern
ment could have no formal character, it was
only natural that that government not having
accepted his advice, Gen. Kaulbars should
leave Sofia and address himself to the Bull
garian people throughout their country. A
national movement in Bulgaria in favor of
the Russian programme has already begun
among class whose identification with such
a movement might have been the least ex-
pected, namely the Bulgarian army. In
proof of this, we need only refer to the re-
ported declaration of the garrison at Shumla
in support of Gen. Kaulbars' demands.
THE NOTE
presented to the Bulgarian government by
Gen. Kaulbars before his departure from
Sofia was in effect as follows:
The imperial government desires to release
all persons arrested in connection with the
deposition Of Prince Alexander. It also de-
sires that the elections be postponed until
November. The consequences of refusal
to comply with Russia's wishes will fall upon
those actually governing Bulgaria.
