toward an eatsate, the removal of
Prince Ferdinand from the throne OF

the Powers; the election OF q new
prince by new sobrapje, and the
re appointment, of Russ an officerssto

fies that the new prince must
be a member of the orthodox
Greek church and the Sobranje be SO
elected az to enable Russia to
recognize it rs BEING legally consti-
tuted. In the meantime foreign off,
cials ho.d aloof from the negotiations,
which are recognized as feele,s ii
knssia toward other demands. The
Czar's' Minister'S already know that
Count Kalnocky will not admit that
the Berlin treaty gives Russia the
special right to interfere in Bulgaria !;
they know also that 1t is impos-
sible to tain from the Powers
Joint msndate. Baffled on these
points, Russia will raise the new
question on the Austrian retention OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Those
provinces were occupied under purely
temporary title, but are now p,acti-
cally annexed. Austria will be called
upon to evacuate them and it ia prob
able that the question OF their
future administration will be
referred to conference Of
the powera. The total force OF
Russian soldiers in the Warsaw,
Wilma and Kieff districts, according
to a military estimate, reaches 1926 900
men, with 720 guns. The cav
airy regiments stationed immedi.
ately on the frontier are being sup
