IoSpos. December 1s.-The rupture OF
diplomatic relations between France and
Bulgaria on the pretext Of the expulsion
Of the French journalist Chadouine now
proves to be the initial step Of French
diplomatic scheme TO ask the Sultan to iise
his suzerain right TO Interfere in Bulgaria
in Russia's interest. Advices were re-
ceived at the Foreign ONCE tonight that
M Cambon, the French Ambassador at Con-
stantinople. has demanded and will obtalna a
formal conference on the subject with the
Sultan tomorrow. This development -
no surprise TO Lord Salisbury and ms
diplomatic allies in Vienna and beTIln. Sl.

Minister Of the Porte on Wednesday last,
was understood 10 intimate that as france
had never recognized Prince terdlnanu,
the Government of France must look t0r
redress 70 the Suzerain before taxing ul-
rectly active measures.

As NJ. Ribot must know or expect that
the Porte will decline 90 interfere IN q
question concerning the internal admistra-
ton of Bulgaria, anxiety exists as TO wnat
the French will next do. The Austrian Gov

priv, supports the Bulgarian bureau,
and Austrias agent at soma mas
melted Premier Stambulof TO address
note to the governments OF turkey,
Germany, Austria. and England Vlnul-
eating the expulsion OF Chadoulne. IL Is
now known all around that Nj. Ribot does
not care straw for the expulsion or @ tne
expulsee. The st. Petersburg weekly, the
VedHomOsh, after suggesting that II Is
possible that France, falling 70 OBTAIN
satisfaction, may blockade bulgarian
ports, says that Russia would protest
against the appearance Of French IRON
clads before Varna or Bourgas. IL Nj:
Ribot's policy results thus the peace oi
Europe is over.
