RUSSIA.

ST. Louis, No. March 5.--"Although the
people OF Bulgaria are grateful TO Rus
STA for the service OF a quarter of
century ago the general sentiment con-
cerning the present war IN the Far East
is in favor OF Japan" said p. NJ Mat
theeff. the Bulgarian commission general
in the Worlds Fair, who has arrived
here.
Commissioner Mattheefr left Sofa
about three weeks ago and, having been
minister to Turkey for many years is
we'll informed on subjects relating 20 the
attitude OF the people Of the Balkans to-
wards the Russians
"As the result OF the Turkish Russo
war, IS years ago. Bulgaria is now an
independent country" he said. 1T Is
true that we never could have over
thrown the rule OF the sultan had Il not
been for the support OF the car. Still
Russia's attitude towards us since that
time has been such that we have to fight
continually against being absorbed.
The same feeling which caused Bull
garia to fear Russia causes her people to
sympathize with Japan.
"The people OF Bulgaria know the czar
is pursuing the same policy in the Orient
as In the Balkans and that Russia IS
trying 20 absorb the territory OF a weak
er nation. japanese victories are received
exultantly at Sofia
