The recall of the French ambassadors at the Vatican is regarded here as the first step toward the disestablishment and the disendow mcnt of the Catholic church in France, which it is thought will be the result of the Pope's refusal to recede from the petition he has taken in relation to C&ina. . ilt is stated that prime minister De Freycinet is debating the advisability of repealing the concordat. is seni-offioially announced today that the report that a rupture had oc curred between France and the Vatican is at least premature. fYjiNKA.; Aug. 27.

Over Beer Swift and five con victs were instantly killed and 14 persons were wounded. The engineer had left the engine in charge of the fireman. The train started down the grade and the air-brakes refused to work. The speed down the mountain was thought to be at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour- Strange to say, neither the en gine nor fiat ears jumped the track. The men, standing on the flat cars had nothing to hold on to, and were thrown in different; directions when a short curve was turned. Some of them were horribly mangled. The train was stopped, after running six miles. Prince Alexander's Heveoiente, London, Aug. 27. Authentio infor mation has at last reached here in re gard to the movements of Prinoe Alex ander. He landed at Reni, in the Rus sian province of Bessarabia, Wednes day.

He de clared he would, never oease to take a profound interest in Bulgaria's future and had no deeper desire; than that for Bulgaria's happiness and prosperity. Toward this end he ever labored with his wholetheart. His earnest wish in the present juncture was that Bulgaria should choose another prince to. rule over her who should be devoted to the welfare of the country. Prinoe Alexander was expected to ar rive at Lemberg yesterday evening, where delegates are sent from the army and people to represent to him the situa tion in Bulgaria, and to invite him back to assume the reins of the government awaiting' him.

WHAT IS TO BECOME OF CATS PAW ALEXANDER? HIS i'XOPLK WISH HIM BACK AS THEIR RULER, BCT RUSSIA HAS OTHER l'LANS. Berlin, August 27. M. de Giers, Russian minister of foreign affairs, yelterday issued, a circular from Tran zensbad, Bohemia, where ho is staying, explaining Russia's connection with the Bulgarian coup d'etat., M. de Giers declares that Russia could never ap prove .of the circumstances attending Prince Alexander's abdication. The "Bulgarians who "favored the deposition of Prinoe Alexander," M. de Giers con tinues, "undoubtedly followed, their natural feelings, thereby removing obstacles which disturbed the close union of Bulgarians, liberated by heavy and unselfish sacrifices, and their kin-, dred Russian people." The circular then contains ; the following : ' ' From the 'moment when, with genu ine astonishment, we learned how the deposition was -a misunderstanding, we instructed our agents in Bulgaria to ex tend their influence to secure a reversal of what had happened and not leave, a trace ot suspicion that Russian action had any influence in the affair. The Bulgarians, by their altitude in the deposition, manifested the greatness of their sympathy with their liberator, but by following our will and over throwing the provisional government, and recalling Prinoe Alexander, they have proved their deep devotion to Russia and have made the tie between Russia and Bulgaria indissoluble. They have attained: the highest degree of loyalty, and have shown the highest regard for those princi ples of the monarchial order and stability of which luissia is a constant and resolute representative. This is the key to the explanation of the apparently confix ting events in Bul garia. When we meet the German chancellor we shall explain these events and we shall expect from the deep in sight of this friendly, statesman that he will thoroughly appreciate the sacrifice which Russia recently made for Bul garia in the interest ot peace and to maintain the principles of monarchy; and that he will will give the powerful aid of his counsel to definitely establish order in Bulgaria, with which the peace of the east is so closely oonnected What- Bulgaria did in a moment of eventful excitement has been repaired through Russian influenoe. Shall not matters, therefore, be now settled in a: definite, legal, loyal form? I may ever enterUm. the hope that Prince Alexander. wWae high usl'me . we Willingly acknowledge, wLj unhappily became the puppet of influences he was unable sufficiently to resist, will, from a regard for facts and soberly judging the situation, renew of his own accord, with out pressure, the act of abdication foroed from him. We shall, acting in concert with friendly powers, be enabled to re store in a fair and just manner the bal ance between conflicting interests in the Oast and secure our legitimate rights in Bulgaria from further eventualities, andhe able to place the peace of Europe on a new and solid basis and surround it bv further Btrone sruarantees of our friendship with neighboring states as ,i .i 1 t- :L Witu me jbarupeui uuwcio uoiutj.

Hill had the fortune to see a tragedy which may never have been enacted before and may never be again. You all know how straight a bumblebee flics. The one in question was flying in the traditional "bee lino," towards a barbed wire fenoe. The bee, sailing on his horizontal line, and flying, as they always do, with great force, struck, squarely in the centre of his head, upon one of the barbs. It pierced his head and even ran into his neck. Death was so instantaneous that the bee had not even time to close his wings. When Dr. Hill found 'him his body stood straight out from the head, and his wings were at full sail. Dr. Hill struck him with his umbrella and the body dropped off from the head. This, piereed through and through, re mained on the sharp barb until -palled off by hand. The occurrence was cer tainly a singular one. As -remarked above, it is doubtful if a bee ever met death in this way before, or if a bee ever will again.

Meanwhile the people of Bui- gari are demanding Dacx their ruler, and are rejoicing over the discomfiture-' of the captors.

The opinion is generally .held that the Czar's violent; personal animosity against Prinoe Alexander will prevent his consenting to the return of the latter to his throne. The Prinoe, if his choice alone were to be consulted, might in the ' interests of peace bo wil ling perhaps to abdicate, but the .Bulga rians have claims upon him he may cot feel at liberty to disregard.; This is the immediate source of danger.
