RFRIIy. December l9.-The view
taken in official circles here OF the
Quarrel between France and Bulgaria,
arising out of the refusal Of the
authorities OF the latter country TO
allow journalist named nj. Chadoulne,
who was recently expelled from bur
garia TO return, is that 1t VIII result IN
mischief.
A dispatch was received yesterday
from the German embassy at Constanti-
nople, containing the substance OF the
protest made TO the Grand Vizeier by
NJ. Cambon, the French Ambassador at
Constantinople. in which Nj. Rioot, the
French Foreign Minister, accuses the
Bulgarian government, besides the iile-
gal expulsion of NJ. Chadouine, with IN
| sulting the French agent, Nj. LeneI, oy
setting police watch upon his resi-
dence, aud upon one occasion, with ar
resting Nj. Lenel himself by mistake, rs
he was entering his office.
NJ. Lenel appears 10 have been sus-
pected OF secretly giving assistance TO
the Russo Bulgarans, who were impl-
Gated in military plots against tho
Government. M. Ribot contends that
Bulgaria, under the capitulations OF
the Berlin treaty, ought to have APP
piled TO NJ. Lenel for permission To
arrest M. Chadouine, and that the
Porte must now insist that Bulgaria
shall apologize and rescind the order OF
expulsion, ana thus wipe out oy
public official recognition the Insult TO
the French agent.
The Grand Vzier Immediately upon
receipt of the protest communicated
with the government at sofia, and re-
ceived a prompt reply. In this answer
tho authorities at Sofia expressed regret
that the incident had arisen, but de-
clared that they would adhere 20 their
right 20 expel NJ. Chadouine. The Bui-
garan agent at Constantinople, In COM
munications addressed To the German
and Austrian embassies, couched In the
most coroial terms, asserts that his gov
ernment has strong proof that the
French residency has been made the
focus OF plots against NJ. Stsmbouloif,
the Bulgarian prime minister.
The expulsion of NJ. Chadouine Is but
a minor incident among frequent col
lIsions between M. Lenel and the Bul-
garian ministers. In relation 10 the
the question OF breach OF the capltuia-
tions OF the Berlin treaty, the opinion
expressed In diplomatic circles Is entiro-
ly against NJ. Ribot. Ii Is not expected
that the French foreign minister will
venture to refer the dispute TO The Ber-
lin treaty powers.
lie will probably bully Bulgaria In or
der 20 please Russia, and keep the quar-
rel standing open until an opportune
moment shall arrive for the beginning
OF active hostiities.
In commenting upon the passage OF
the new commercial treaties, the Con-
| seryative press admits that political
considerations were largely instru-
mental In determining the acquiesence
OF section OF that party In the adop-
tlon OF the new tariff measures.
The enthusiasm OF the members OF
the Freissing party over the reduction
| In the tariffs under the new treaties
cools as It perceived that the measures
| have sot the free trade scope which tho
| Liberals attributed TO them.
The debates IN the Reichstag have
disclosed the weakness OF the support
ers of bi-metalism.
During his visit TO Stettin this week
Emperor William gave the army officers
stationed there q practical lesson In
economy. In the course OF his stay HIS
Majesty was entertained at luncheon by
the officers ef the garrison. Upon re-
ceiving the invitation the Emperor re-
quested TO be shown the menu card, and
upon its being produced he struck out
number of dishes and expensive wines,
reducing the bill OF fare TO soup, mutton
and beer.
Emperor william, while at banquet
last evening at FELTON,, near Potsdam,
received a dispatch containing the In
formation that the Reichstag had Just
passed the commercial treaties. The
Emperor thereupon rose from his seat
at the table and informed the company
OF the news that had been brought 20
him. He said:
This satisfactory result Is due 10
the devoted labor OF the Chancellor, a
simple, honest Prussian General. In
two years he has succeeded In becoming
! conversant with and mastering ploblems
OF extreme difficulty. With rare pollti-
cal insight, he has at the right moment
saved the Fatherland from evil conse-
queDces. 1t is only natural that single
individuals should make sacrifices In
order that the whole people might reap
the advantage OF their achievements.
''The conclusion OF the treaties was
tor posterity. IT was one OF the most
vital events In the history Of the Reich
stag.
II am convinced that not only the
Fatherlsnd, bat the millions OF subjects
Of the other countries united with us in
the customs league will sooner or later
bless this day. / ask you TO drink to
the health OF Gen. Count Won Capriyi.
-er lebe hoch."
The speech OF Emperor William was
received with burst OF loud aud con-
tinued cheering by the assembled COM
pany. The banquet at which Emperor
William made the speech. was TO ceIe-
brate the opening OF the District hall.
The Minister Of the Interior was also
present.
