RUSSIA BLAMES ENGLAND.
THEY SEE IN GERMAN AFFAIRS
DEEP LAID PLOT
TO PLACE PRINCE ALEXANDER ON
TyE BULGARIAN THRONE.

The Car Believes England to BE mt the
to Receive Queen Victoria at Char
lottenbery---Eo Foreign Affairs.
LONDON, April l ! Now that the Rus
sian press has become thoroughly awak-
ened over the subject of the contemplated
marriage of Alexander and Victoria,
they naturally look for some one upon
whom to throw the blame of the transac-
tion, and with singular unanimity have
chosen to regard England as the proper
object of their attack. They profess to
see in this marriage deeply-laid plot to
again place Prince Alexander upon the
Bulgarian throne and to elevate man
who is displeasing to Russia. 1t is most
probably fact, however, that the czar
has quietly nipped in the bud any such
plot, if plot there be, by demanding. be-
fore he will let his imperial will grace
the proposed wedding, that Alexander
resign what slender claim he may
have upon Bulgaria's throne
and promise to carefully abstain
from touching the prize with eager fin
gers when it is finally awarded to the one
whom the powers may choose Nothing
short Of this conditional agreement to
the marriage OH the part Of the cZar,
whom old Wilhelm. almost with his last
breath, cautioned Germany not to offend,
would have caused Bismarck to relent
and lend his sanction to the affair.

Arbitration Once DGre Offered and Re-
fused--A Promise.
CHICAGO, April 9.-Mr. Jeffrey, general
manager Of the Illinois Central, with
Messrs. Sargent, Monahan and Hoge,
called on the Burlington officers and urged
that the whole matter be left to arbitra-
tion. This General Manager Stone re-
fused to do because he claimed
that the road was well supplied
with men. Mr.. Sargent admitted
that the company could not discharge
the new men. Mr.. Stone then urged
that the strike be called off, promising
to give as many of the old work as he
could
Chairman Hoge denies that there is any
truth in the rumor that the trike has
been called Off
CHICAGO, April S.-Chairman Hoge,
of the grievance committee. said Satur-
day morning: I'VE know the Burlington
road is in worse condition now than at
any time since the strike, and the strik-
ers are in better condition. The road
has incompetent engineers and too few
Of them. They cannot handle their busi-
ness without us, and we will never
weaken nor return to work under any
circumstances that would indicate that
we have retreated from the stand taken
when the strike began. The company
needs 600 more engineers to handle their
business properly"

SQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY.

Settlers Seize the Abandoned Fort Ellis
Military Reservation and Parcel Out
the Quarter Sections---A Representa-
tive to BE Sent to Congress to Pusi, the
steudips.
HELENA, Mont, April 1l.-Fort Ellis
military reservation has been taken pos
session cf by squatters. \ circular was
recently mailed to tie citizens of Boze-
man, which is near the reserve. telling
them to meet last Saturday and be pre-
pared to take possession. A large num-
Der obeyed and the reserve is now all
taken up. The circular says:
Fort Ellis was abandoned two years
ago, and il a bill is not passed this ses-
sion OF congress throwing it open to
homestead entry, it will be disposed of
under the law OF July 5, 1884, to be sold
to the highest bidder. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that it be made subject to
homestead entry. and there is every prob
ability that congress will pass a relieving
act, allowing the ones in possession
to perfect entry or holding under nome
stead laws, with perhaps the additional
payment Of 81 25 or 50. so per aore The
land at this price would be fairly cheap.
1t is the pupose of the committee to ad-
vocate sending q man to personally press
the passage of suitable bills. Each mans
land will be drawn by lot.
For fear of being too late a large num-
Der started Immediately for the reserve,
and those Who went up this morning
found all the choice locations squatted
upon.
