LONDON, February 23.-The nice dis
tincton drawn by Austria in her admls-
sion that the presence OF Prince ferdl-
nand in Bulgaria is Illegal, while hold
ing that his election by the Sobranie as
Prince of Bulgaria was perfectly legal,
savors very strongly OF qulobhng and will
scarcely be accepted by Russia as throw
ing much light on the question of Fer
dinand's right to perform the functions
of rulership in Sultan's vassal State OF
Bulgaria. II the Coburg Princes cleo
ton was legal it would seem that his
right to exercise the authority thus con-
veyed to him is beyond dispute and by
logical deduction his presence in Bull
CARA appears necessary. But unfortu'
nately the paradoxical decision OF the
Austrian Government muddles the situa-
ton more than ever.

THE BtIrIsH PARLIAMENT.
The Bulgarian Question in the House
of IOrds-DebRte in commons.


yAnclo-Amerlcan cable to tho Di-patohl
LONDON, February 23.-ln the House
of Lords this evening Lord Suatheden
Liberal moved that the Government
produce the latest papers regarding the
events IN Bulgaria. lie suggested that
Great Britain initiate a conference to
consider the Bulgarian question. and
SAID that Bismarck would readily sup
port such q movement.
Lord Salisbury promised to place the
papers on the table. He did not think
the proposed conference would be desl
rable. The Berlin treaty had already
settled that the election of the Prince OF
Bulgaria must be unanimous. The Pow
ors believed that an interchange OF
opinion through the ordinary diplomatic
channels would overcome the existing
differences.
The debate on the address in reply to
the Queens speech was resumed III the
House Of Commons tonight. Shaw
Iefcvre GIiberaD moved an amendment
affirming the necessity of measure deal
inc with arrears Of excessive rents III
ireland. Hecharged Baliour with using
all the forces Of the Government Ii favor
of landlords like Claneycarde, who, he
said, were oppressors OF the tenants, and
he commenced the heroism shown by
Wilfred Blunt in defending the tenants.
Balfour reminded the House that far
rents had been fixed by the tribunals
since the act OF 1881 went into operation.
Shaw-Lefeyre, he said was unIeasona-
bic TO demand that tenants be released
from arrears arising under the terms SO
fixed.
Shaw-Lefeyre replied that in many
cases the arrears had not arisen under
judicial rents. Only 10 per cent. OF the
rents on Lord Claneycarde's estate were
judicial rents, lie said.
Baliour held that the act OF 1881 fully
protected tenants, and that there was no
need of new legislation.
Holly and other Parnellites continued
the debate.
Shaw-Lefevre's amendment was re-
jected by vote Of Z6l to lS6.
The report ON the address in reply to
the Queens speech was then adopted.

shoots Her own cam ..

The sportsman who secures three out of four rail is considered good marksman, as often tirues the birds are quite difficult to shoot. While on trip up the Housatonio river, Saturday, MT. Henry A. Bishop left the stsam yacht Venture for the purpose of induIging in rail shooting in the tall sedge near Fellows Island. He was accompanied by his wife, who was anxious to try 8 shot. When the birds began to fly Mrs. Bishop be- gan to fire and she did not relinquish the sport until she had killed three birds, mak- ing but one miss and that was owing to the unsteadiness of the small row boat in which she sat. We doubt if young ladies generally will be able to add rail shooting to their ac- complishments, as they are usnally some- what timid inthe use of firearms Bridge port Standard.

IRELAND'S HAD CROPS.

Professor Reillyss Bicycling Tour.
 Mr. P. Harvard Reilly, the teacher of danc- ing, was in Hartford Tuesday, having just re- turned from his bicycling tour in Ireland, England and Wales, during which he trav- ersed $500 miles. The weather was abomi- nable and during one run it rained forty -seyen days out of the forty-nine consumed by the trip. It was so bad that one day ten changes of raiment were necessitated by the wet Mr. Reilly says that the unfavorable weather had almost entirely destroyed the crops in Ireland and a famine seemed to him imminent. In some places the people had not lighted their fires for g fortnight as the peat bogs, whence they derive their fuel, were all under water.
