bulgarian Matters,

LONDON. September 3d.-The Daay Nelcs
says: Prince Alexander has been aban-
doned and isolated by agreement of the
three great Empires. Nothing could ex-
ceed the humility of his letter to the Gar,
which is only equaled in degree by the
brutality of the Cars answer
The Standard says: Alexander has
committed serious blunder, and it is the
only unworthy act with which he can be
reproached. It is carrying the comedy of
cOurtly diSsimulatiOn too far to pretend
that the Gar did not approve of tie depO-
sition. England has done her best to pro-
mote peace in Bulgaria. If she fails, Aus
tria and Germany will either suffer grave
injury or make heavy sacrifices. They may
yet rue the day they abandoned Alexander
to curry favor with the Gar. Alexander
has promised King Milan to send diplo-
matte agent to Servia."
LONDON, September 3d.-An attempt was
made to wreck the train conveying Prince
Alexander TO Sofia. When near Philip
poplis the engineer discovered an obstruc-
ton on the track, and brought the train to
a standstill. On investigation it was found
that five sleepers had been placed across the
rails. A conflict between the revolutionists
and the followers of Alexander is feared at
Sofia.
SOFIA, September 3d.-The revolutionary
regiments here have surrendered uncOndi-
tionally to Alexander and appealed to him
for clemency. Bulgaria is now tranquil.
Alexander, when he reached Bucharest,
on his Journey to Sofia, telegraphed to
the Sultan assurances of homage and de-
vOtion.
LONDON, September 3d-The Daily Tele-
graph this morning commenting on the
Bulgarian revolution, says Russia has
already secretly spent 100000 francs in
Bulgaria. Just before the revolution. the
Russian Consul at Sofia withdrew 10000
in Turkish money from Unknown East
ern bank, ostensibly to eIdow certain re-
ligious communities which nobody was
aware were in peCuniary straits
New YORK, September 4th-A. M.-The
Stars London dispatch says: In Downing
street the opinion is unanimous that AL
exander will fight rather than abdicate at
the dictation OF Russia. He will be pressed
to a definite decision, and his refusal to
abdicate will lead to a rising by the Rus
sian party, and Russian occupation. The
adherents of Prince Alexander declare that
there is strong probability OF Roumelia
and Seryia combining with Bulgaria
and Eastern RoUmelia to resist
Russia. and that powerful party
in Montenegro would welcome
such an opportunity to strike q blow for
growing in official circles that Turkey will
answer the Russian movement by occupy
ing the Balkans, with the consent of Bull
garia and East Roumelia, and cooperating
with the Prince by sea and land The
Muscovite press energetieally urge Russias
occupation of Bulgaria before Alexander
has had time TO reorganize his army. The
situation is becoming acute.
The European War Cloud.
New YoRK. September 3d.-T. p. O'Con-
nor sends the following cablegram from
London to the Star: Foreign complica-
tions are absorbing public attention in con-
sequence of the uncertainty of Russias in
tentions as to the Eastern question. As
regards Bulgaria, it is difficult to
see how Prince Alexander can
hold out against Russian influence.
He will probably have TO leave
Bulgaria to avoid worse treatment than
he lately received. The situation is conf
plicated and Alexander is injured by the
violent nti-Russian articles of the English
papers. Many leading journals, usually
pacific in tone, have suddenly developed
into rabd jingoism. The German official
press makes it plain that European war
is seriously to be feared. The anti Russian
attitude of Germany, urged on by England,
is calculated to throw Russia into the arms
trating, save by the sword Bismarck thus
has every reason, like the Car, TO show
hostility to the Prince. 1t is hoped that
after the restoration of order in Bulgaria
Alexander will find decent excuse to re-
tire from his untenable position, and thus
smooth the way to the preservation Of
peace.
His Maiden Success.
LONDON, September 3d.-The Daily 1Ne7rs
says: Lord Randolph Churchill has
achieved his maiden success as leader,
owing to his conciliatory tone toward the
Parnellites.

naica, papers Just received in this city an
