the utmost upon the Gar. The King has in this
rivalry had the advantage OF the support OF his

niece, the young Empress OF Russia. who was

Emperor Nicholas adopts the recommendations

Of money to be paid Turkey b. Bull
garia because OF the Bulgarian dec
~laration Of Independence is practically
broken and the war clouds in South
eastern Europe have been dissipated
by the acceptance Of q plan proposed
by Russia which r~econciles in a novel
manner the Turkish claim Of $4,000
300 and the Bulgarian offer Of s1s,-
100000.
This plan is based on the war in
demnity Of s1,sQG.o9o a year, which,
in accordance with the Berlin treaty
Of 1878. Turkey is to pay Russia for
1o9 years. These payments bear no
interest. The Russian proposal is to
remit them Until the Turkish claim
against Bulgaria is satisfied. Russia
will collect instead SIC. 400, Q9o from
Bulgaria in similar instruments.
These payments will bear interest and
the amount OF this interest will re-
coup Russia.
