Paris, August 27. The recall of the

regarded here as the first step toward
the disestablishment and the disendow

which it is thought will be the result of

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.

r-The Pope in an encyclical letter to
the bishops of Hungary on the occasion
of; the recent fetes at Buda deplores the
spread of socialism, rationalism,
divisions and sects, and says the church
atone can effectually cope with social

chureh should enjoy full liberty.

Queen's speech, Mr. Chamberlain said
De would always favor a large scheme
f stater aided land purchase in Ire
land, ariong at that country remained
n integral portion of the united king
dom, but he objected to lending, un
der the' insecure conditions of Mr.
Gladstone's plan, to what would prao-
oally ;! be a foreign country. If
the government would introduce a well
considered scheme for the creation of a
peasant proprietary in Ireland under the
effective, control of the imperial parlia
ment, and with security from the muni
cipal authorities, Mr. Chamberlain
promises to give it oordial support.
A aealy InaloM Clerk. :
PiTTSBusa, August 26. The special
examiners have completed the investi

aooounts. Then found that the ; short
age amounts to exactly $11,837. The
examination of the books was very labo
rious, occupying nearly, six. weeks.
Each account of the 1,800 pensioners in
the district had to be gone over separate
ly and Compared. The examiners found
that the peculations began five years ago.
At first Gay took small sums, ranging
from i20 a day upwards, until within
the last year, when the embezzlements
amounted to as much as $700 a day.
There will be five or six charges of for
gery brought against Gay. It is not
thought he will be tried on all of them,
but they will be entered to makeoertain
of conviction in case one or two should
fail. -5 ' , .

News was reoeited at Asheville
Wednesday evening, the Advance says,
of a most -horrible and heart-rending
accident which occurred on Tryon
Mountain Wednesday. A construction
train broke loose while ascending the
mountain, and went whirling down the
grade at a terrible speed. 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.

sian province of Bessarabia, Wednes

had been transported to that point he
made abrief farewell address to the com

his regret at leaving Bulgaria. 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. The Bulgarians are
practically unanimous in their demand
for Prinoe Alexander's return to Rust
chuk. ' As the result of an understand
ing reached by adherents of Prince Alex
ander Sofia, and the Tirnova oouncil
a regency has been formed consisting
of Messrs. Stamboloff, Glavessoff and

COMPLICATIONS.
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

Dr. M. W. 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.

The captors of Prince Alexander took
him, it seems, to Reni, a place in Bes
sarabia, whenoe the Ciar has permitted
him - to go to uermanjv by way of
Odessa. Meanwhile the people of Bui-
gari are demanding Dacx their ruler,
and are rejoicing over the discomfiture-'
of the captors. In Sofia, however, the
latter still have some strength, and
conflicts between loyalists and support
ers of Zankoff are of daily occurrence.
The area bf disturbance seems to be
ridening. 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.
