HAAppincss-The People want Him.
BERLIN, Aug. ga letter from Prince
Alexander, written al Sofia a few days
before the coup d'etat, has been received
In this city. In the letter Alexander says;
"My position ia becoming exceedingly
| difficult. The people are alarmed at the
| Servian ornaments and she presence Of
| the Turkish commissioners. In order TO
secure the people, who have been worked
upon by Russian opposition, requested
Count Kalnoky three weeks ago to induce
| Servia to agree to resume diplomatic reia-
| tions with Bulgaria. Count Kalnoky con-
scented, but Servia has not replied, and
Rhe has continued 10 fortify her frontier,
| leading us TO expect u resumption of hos
| tilities The ministry have asked me to
order an advance Of the troops, which l
have refused TO do knowing the serious
meas OF tho first steps in such case. On
the other hand, the press attacks me ON
account OF the appointment OF delegates
TO the Turkish commission. |, therefore,
am anxious 10 be absolutely free with re-
gard 10 Servih, in order that may devote
myself entirely TO the Turkish question.
The excitement is so great against the
commission that an attack upon the dele
| gates is probable, You see how am beset
| with troubles. Nobody here wishes war.
On the contrary, we would thank Heaven
| for restoration OF relations with Seryia,
| so that o conflict might be avoided"
| LONDON, Aug. 26.--When Prince Alex
ander received the news of the success of
his friends in Bulgaria he was deeply
moved. He telegraphed to his father that
he would visit Darmstadt anyhow before
returning 10 Bulgaria. The Russians OF
Reni treated Prince Alexander and his
brother with indignity. They refused to
allow even servant to accompany Alex
ander, saying "Your brother will wait
on you"

ton has at last reached here in regard to
the movements of Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria. He landed at REM in the
Russian province of Bessarabia on We'd
nesday. On leaving the yacht in which
he had been transferred 10 TINT point he
made brief farewell address TO the com.
mander and escort. In this he expressed
his regret at leaving Bulgaria. He
declared that he would never
cease to tako profound in
terest in Bulgaria's future. lie
had no deeper desire than TINT
for Bulgarias happiness and prosperity.
Toward this end he had ever lnbored with
his whole heart. His earnest wish in the
present juncture was that Bulgaria should
choose another prince to rule over her
who should DO devoted to the welfare of
the country.
| BERLIN, Aug. 27.-M. de Giers. Rms.
sian minister of foreign affairs, yesterday
issued circular from F-anzensbad.
Bohemia, where he is staying, explaining
Russia's connection with tho BULGARIAN
coup d'etat. M. de Giers declares that
Russia could never approve of the cir.
cumstances attending Prince Alexander's
abduction.
The Bulgarians who favored the depo
sition of Prince Alexander M. deCIiers
continues, undoubtedly followed their
natural feelings thereby removing The
obstacles which disturbed the close union
of the Bulgarians liberated by heavy
and unselfish sacrifices and their kindred
the Russian people,
The circular then contains the follow
ing; "From the moment when with
genuine astonishment, we learned how
the deposition was misunderstood we
instructed our agents in Bulgaria 10 exert
thor influence To secure reversal of
what had happened, and not leave a trace
of suspicion that Russia's actions Ind
any influence in the affair. Tic Rul-
garianR by their attitude in the deposi.
ton, manifested the greatness of their
sympathy with their liberaturs. bnt by
following our will in oyerthrowinp
the provisional government and recalling
Prince Alexander, they have proved
their deep devotion 10 RUSSIA, md
| E.a ~
and Bulgaria indissoluhle. They have
attained the highest degree of loyalty
and have shown the highest regard for
those principles OF mOnarchicll order
and stability of which Russia is the con.
slant and resolute representative. This is
the Key TO the explanation of the appar-
emily conflicting events in Bulgaria.
When we meet the German chancellor we
shall explain these events, and we shall
expect from the deep INSIGHT ~ THO

of peace and TO maintain the principles
of monarchy and that he will give
