WILL RESULT IN MISCHIEF.

quarrel between France and Bulgaria is
that it
WILL RESULT IN MISCHIEF.
A dispatch was received yesterday even
ing from the German embassy at CONSTANT
nople containing the substance of the pro-
test made to the grand vizier by Cambon,
French ambassador, in which Ribot,
French foreign minister, accuses the Bnl-
garlan government, besides the illegal ex-
pulsion of Chadonine, with insulting the
French agent Lenel, by setting police
watch upon his residence and, upon one oc-
caslon, with arresting Lenel himself by
mistake. Lenel appears to have been sus-
pected secretly of giving assistance to
Russo-Buigarians. Ribot contends the
Porte must now insist that Bulgaria apollo
gize and rescind the order of expulsion
against Chadonlne, and thus wipe out by
public official recognition
THE INSULT TO THE FRENCH AGENT
The grand vizier has communicated with
the government at Sofia and in answer the
authorities expressed regret that the Incl
dent had arisen, but declared they would
adhere TO their right to expel Chadonine
Inc bulgarian agent at Constantinople
In communications addressed to the Ger
man and Austrian embassies, couched in
the most cordial terms, asserts his govern
ment has strong proof the French residence
has been made the focus of plots against
Stambouloff, Bulgarian prime minister
The opinion expressed in diplomatic cir
cles in Berlin is entirely against Ribot. 1t
IS not expected he will venture to refer the
dispute to the Berlin treaty powers. He
Will probably bully Bulgaria in order to
please Russia and keep the quarrel stand
ing open until an opportune moment ar
rlyes for beginning active hostilities
Ihedebates in the reichstag have disclosed
the weakness Of the supporters of bi-met-
alllsm. Count Merbach and Baron Ker-
DOH, alluded to the question of the
RECONCILIATION OF SILVER
as intimately connected with grain tariffs,
but the house concurred in the opinion of
Chancellor Caprivi, who said it was SUPER
tous TO discuss the topic The attitude OF
the government upon the question of BIZ
metallism continues one of waiting. When
William Seligman, who was sent to Eu-
rope as the representative of the United
States treasury department for the purpose
OF arranging an international conference,
was here sounding the government, Chan
cellor Won Caprivi stated the action of
Germany and England would depend upon
the currency developments in Washington
Herr Mlguel, Imperial minister OF finance is
strong gold partisan. Secretary Won Mar
shall, although strong bi-metallist, will
act jointly with England for the discussion
Of the subject.
The resumption of specie payments in
Austria-Hungary on gold basis is re-
ported imminent The treasury already
holds 150000,000 forms in gold and the
total amount required to effect resumption
is $50, 100000. Part of this sum can be met
by the retention by the government of a
portion of the notes now in circulation.
During visit to Stettln this week, EN-
peror William gave the army officers
A PRACTICAL LESSON IN ECONOMY.
He was entertained at luncheon by the
officers of the garrison. Upon receiving
the invitation the Emperor requested to be
shown the menu card and struck out a
number of dishes and expensive wines, re-
ducing the bill of fare to soup, mutton and
beer.
