The Gar appears to have given his assent 10
the creation of a Bulgarian monarchy, with
either Prince Waldemar, youngest son Of King
Christian of Denmark, or the Duke Of Cumber-
land on the throne. The latter decisiyely re-
jected the offer, which was made 20 him through
Prince Bismarck. He being the practical head,
as King OF Hanover, ~ in BismaTck's way, and
if he could DO induced to exchange the sover-
eighty of Hanover for that of Bulgaria and
Eastern ROumeia more satisfactory arrange
ment, for Germany at least could not be i'm
agined. 1t is certain Ferdinand must CO. All
the leading semi-otiicial journals of the CONT
ncnt appear TO be in unison on this point. The
abdicatiOn will be brought about diplomat
ically, Turkey taking the initial We and repeat
ing heT former notification to Ferdinand that
he IS unawfully occupying the throne. In the
meanwhile the Sultan is having trouble. Rus
STA is dunning him to pay up the war indem-
nifty, refusing to consider the fact that he can
not possibly do il. He is about to make des-
perate effort to raise 81 800, 900 on the revenue
of the fishery, silk and stamp taxes, which have
not been mortgaged. To augment the uneasi-
ness of the Sultan, Russia is credited with a
desire to make more stringent regulations re-
garding the passage of the Dardaneles and BOs-
| phorus and to keep powerful feet in the
Black Sea to prevent any violation of the rules
by foreign powers. This, of course, would
mean the practical possession of Constantine
pie by Turkeys most dreaded foe.
