SOFIA, Sept. 6.--Before Prince Alexan
der announced his intention to quit the
throne he received telegram from Prince
Bismarck recommending that he abdicate
in order TO save Bulgaria.
Prince Alexander, on Saturday. pre-
sided at meeting representing all par
ties in Bulgaria. 1t was decided to ap-
point NJ. Stambulol, M. R0daslavof, NJ.
Karavelofi, Nj. GuechofT and NJ. stoiloff to
negotiate with Russia and other powers
for settlement OF the Bulgarian crisis.
An extraordinary session of the BulRa-
rian Chamber of Deputies has been sum-
moned to discuss the abdication. 1t is
believed the departure OF Prince Alexsn-
der from Bulgaria is likely to result in
civil war.
Prince Alexander's decision to aDdi-
cate is attributed partly to loss OF vigor of
mind and body consequent upon the Sc
we're trials which he had undergone
lately.
ALL AT RUssIA's MERCY.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The Times OF to-day
says: "a regency committee composed
with or without Russian participation
can only hasten the day when the people
OF Bulgaria, wearied and despirited, VIII
abandon their dreams of autOmny and
welcome Russian domsnation as the only
means of escaping anarchy. The date OF
the entry of Russian troops into
Bulgaria is an unlmportanJ de-
tail. All that has been eff
iected by the union of Roumelia and
Bulgaria is enlargement of the slice OF
the Turkish empire, which Russia secures
by the operation. German and Austrian
indifference probably springs from con-
seriousness OF their inability to prevent
the Russian advance. The central pow
ers may be making the best of unpleas-
ant and unavoidable circumstances, bat
they cannot pretend that the course Of
events is precisely such as they would
prescribe were they masters OF the situa-
tion."
THE BERLIN TREATY.
Sir j. Ferguson, Under Foreign Seore-
tary, stated In the House OF Commons
this afternoon that change In the gov
eminent Of Bulgaria can only occur In
accordance with the treaty OF Berlin, and
W it'll the consent OF thelsignatory powers
10 that treaty. England, he said had no
separate interests In reference to Bulga-
ria. The election OF a new Prince of Bull
garia must be unanimous [oheers. The
government, said the speaker, had hoped
much from the ability and great qualities
OF Prince Alexander, and they deplored
the treacherV and violence which had In
terrupted his reign. His final decision
to abandon his work in Bulgaria is
greatly regretted.
DARK CLOUDS GATHERING.
The Daily Telegraph says: "'Everyone
for himself is the new motto of the Euro
peRn concert and the result is discord,
more or less yelled. We are a maritime
power. Looking to the dark, lowering
future we cannot too soon take all need
full steps and rely on ourselves"
The Chronicle blames Prince Bismarck
for creating the present critical situation
and says the clouds In the Balkans
are darker than ever.
ENGLAND's GAIN.
The Standard, commenting on Prince
Alexander's abdication, says: ave are
convinced that Prince Bismarck will not
succeed In averting an eventual struggle
between Russia and Austria. England
will be the chief gamer by the great OPP
portunity which Germany and Austria
have thrown away. Anything that in
creases Russia's interest and absorbs her
attention in Europe Will divert 1t from
Asia. Thus we will require time TO render
Russian machinatlon In Asia harmless"
The Pail Mall Gazette declares that
England Will abandon the island of Port
Hamilton, of the coast OF Corea, because
OF q conviction that Its occupation would
prove a source OF weakness in time OF
war.
A later report says that the statement
that England is about to abandon the
island of Port Hamilton is premature.
1t IL stated that Russia continues her en-
deavors to form an alliance with Turkey.
The Bulgarian government has offered
Prince Alexander the sum Of 100000
francs. The Prince refused to accept
more than 500, 900 francs. Russia has also
offered Prince Alexander money for his
personal wants.
RUssIAs oUTPosTs.
PARIS, Sept. 8.-La Temps SAYS: "In
q short time Europe will have to accept
the fact that Russian outposts will be by
procuration at the gates of Adrianopole."
TURKEY ADVISED TO ARM.
CoNsTANrINOPLE, Sept. Cit is ru-
mored that, In accordance with advice
given by two friendly powers, Turkey is
making military preparations en- the
AsiatIc frontier. 1t 10 also said orders
have teen given to supply the army at
Erzeroum and along the border with adj
ditIonal guns. This activity is due to
movements on the part OF Russia,
which Is supposed TO be making
efforts to weaken the army and navy
strength OF Turkey. A suspicious foreign
artist has been seen making sketches OF
the forts outside Of Constantinople. IL is
learned that large contracts have been
made on Russia's account for coal for
Odessa, and that a contract has been
made to supply 10000 metal plates of 70
inch thickness and width and steel facing
for the Russian arsenal on the Black Sea.
THE EFFECT IN sERvIA.
BELGRADE, Sept. GA dispatch from
semlin says that King Milan, OF Servia,
who, with his Prime Minister, was on
his way TO Gluckenburg, has, on account
of the gravity OF the situation created In
the Bolkan States by Prince Alexander's
abdication, abandoned his contemplated
Journey and arranged TO return 10 Bel
grade. The Bulgarian crisis, II is feared,
will have a critical effect in Servia.

/. 900 emIgrants from this city 10 Vladl-
vostock. 1t is rumOred that the alleged
