the Venezuelan republic is bound in

Great Britain the sovereignty of the
whole of the Essequibo BASIN"

TOPIC OF THE HOUR.
Doris CONVERSION CREATES
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Some Inclined to Look Upon it as n
Political Ruse, But it May Have
Deciding influence on the Eu-
rOpean Situation.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a special to
the Herald from st. Petersburg says:
The conversion of Prince Boris of
Bulgaria is the topic of the hour, and
eXcites the greatest interest in poHt-
zeal and diplomatic circles. An emf
nent authority declares that all the
stories woven around Prince Ferdi-
nand's interviews with the pope are
plague"
He says that even if the present
ruler of Bulgaria should be excommu-
nicated there was a reassuring prece-
dent for such an event in the case of
King Victor Emanuel of Italy, who
suffered the same fate with equanim-
ity.
when Prince Ferdinand askeA the
advice of the Due D'Aumale. the reply
was: I would advise you, in follow
ing the traditions of our family, TO do
as Henry " did, or as the Comte De
Chambourd did, first, in clarifying our
house in harmoniZing the factions of
his people; secondly, in opposing faith
other than that which his people rec
ognized.'
The Novo Vremya prints dispatch
which says that Prince Ferdinand has
signed a proclamation to be issued i'm
mediately.
Editorially it remarks: "The ortho-
doxy of Prince Boris VIII kill Russian
Indifference to Bulgaria and Bulgaria
is coming back to the terms of the
treaty with Berlin"
The Novistis' kilograms do not con-
firm the NovOe Vremya's news. They
merely state that military measures
have been taken in Sofia and cOnsulta-
tons are in progress at the palace In
its editorial comments the Novistis is
pesimistic. 1t declares that if any
good is to be done, the entire family of
Prince Ferdinand must become ortho-
doX. Nine years of the anti-Russian
Coburg- Stambuloff cannot be so easily
forgotten by Russians. On the other
hand, 1t regards the change -of the
young princes religion as by no means
conclusive. 1t is a political ruse and
prophecies the advent of a Greckon adj
ministration, which would be the sig
nal for the beginning of the end.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Henry NJ
Stanley, the African explorer, now a
member of the British parliament, has
written a letter to Major ]. B. Pond
of this city touching the Venezuelan
question. In the course of it he says:
Now, on this Venezuelan subject, 1
am entirely on the side of America,
but must admit that I am not sur
prised that the English papers backed
up Salisbury and differ from me.
Taught by the Virulent remarks of
your journals, L had, of course, devo-
ted much time to understand it. where
as English editors were exceedingly
ill-informed Then there are two or
three injudicious remarks in Olney's
dispatch which puts British backs up;
but. after reflection. it is wonderful
how many have come round to my
opinion that, whatever the transSres-
sions of Olney. there. is a great deal of
justice in the American demand. l feel
quite sure, now that so much is adj
mitted, it will not be long before the
opinion becomes general that we are in
the wrong in refusing arbitration,
while the more I think of Olney's dis
patch the more impressed I am that
Olney could scarcely have written 9th
erWfse than he did. 1 agree that had
he contented himself with the usual
suave tone of diplomacy he would not
have succeeded in rousing the atten-
ton of the nation to the necessity of
settlement His dispatch would have
lain quietly buried in the archives of
the foreign office, whereas now every
Englishman knows sufficiently of the
subject to distinguish right from
wrong, and while there is still q ma
iority who take the dispatch to be an
affront to British dignity, there is a
minority increasing in numbers who
thfrl that British honor would be best
consulted by considering the justice
due to Venezuela, and that British
interests would be promoted by &C.
quiescing with the American demand"

Driscoll. the Hermit of Argyle" is
dead at the Rensselaer, home for aged
men, aged 104.
He was born in County Cork, Ire
land, and came to America when 50
years old. SiXty-five years ago he
withdrew from the world to lead the
life of recluse and nothing could
induce him to have any further rela-
tons with society. For the past forty
years he has resided in a cabin near
the state line. Rev. Mr.. O'Brien had
for some time been trying to persuade
the old man to go to the Rensselaer,,
but he resisted until a few weeks ago.
1t was his first ride on a railroad
train.
