England.
London, Aug. 24. Authen dispatches
from Soiia fahow the deposition of Prince
Alexander at Bulgaria was accomplished
during the night. According to these ad
vices, one thorougldy Russian regiment ot
cavalry was detained in the citr alter night
fall when the troop3 retired to their bar
racks. This regiment, perfectly under con
trol of Revolutionists, surrounded the pal
ace about 2 o'clock a. m. Prince Alexan
der was in bed and the palace was closed.
The revolutionary leaders, with the assist
ance of soldiers, forced their way into
the building, to the prince's ante
chamber and had him arrested.
They bluntly made known the purpose of
their intrusion. lie was stunned, having
been taken completely unaware. When
he recoered his self-control and realized
the utter helplessness of his situation he
bitterly reproached his captors for their
treachery.
What followed is still rather obscure.
The revolutionists declare that Alexander
signed a formal abdication of the throne;
others, however, firmly deny his signing
the abdication and in consequence of his re
fusal he was made prisoner and confined in
a remote prison, being told that he would
be kept there until he complied wjth the
demands of the revolutionists. It is said
the prince was removed from Sofia under a
strong cavalry escort long befoie day. The
people did not become acquainted with the
act of the coup de etat until several hours
after the prince had been removed from the
palace.
Telegrams from Bucharest today state
that a majority of the Bulgarian army, as
well as a majority of the Bulgarian people,
have already declared a preference for
Prince Alexander, including the soldiers in
the Widden, Nicholis and Sillstria garri
sons. Col. MouteiofT, chief of the Roincl
ian military, has ollered to lead the troops
to meet Prince Alexander and escort him
back to Sofia and replace him on the Bul
garian throne.
Advices received from Bulgaria state
there is much discontent among the Bul
garian troops over the change in the gov
ernment, and a large proportion of them
were disposed to restore Prince Alexander.
Mr. Stambuloff, president of the Tirnova
provisional government, acting m concert
with Col. MouteroiT, has summoned the
military of Bulgaria to service in the inter
est of Prince Alexander. M. Stambuloff
declares the garritou of Sofia which con
ducted the revolution is ready to surrender
any government property representing th$
deposed prince, provided the soldiers arc
assured of amnesty.
A deputation ot peasants from the inter
ior of Bulgaria, expecting that Prince
Alexander on his way to exile would pass
through Bucharest, have arrived hcie.
They come to tender the prince
their lidilily to his cause.
The ministers, after a long discussion of
Mr. Parnell's amendment to the address in
reply to the queen's speech, decided to op
nose it.
Mr. Parnell was loudly cheered in the
house of commons tonight on rising to re
sume debate on the address in reply to the
queen's speech, lie said he believed that
if the country had been given three more
weeks to consider the home rule bill
the Tories would not now be
seen installed in the treasury benches. The
Irish party had every reason to be satisfied
with the present position. A majority of
the Liberal party had declared in lavor of
Irish autonomy. The Tories had only
profited from temporary Liberal hesitation.
After the present government had exhibited
themselves for a year or so and proven the
impossibility of Englishmen in an attempt
to govern Ireland, the Liberal party would
vanish. The Irish had every reason to
have patience. Theirs was the winning
cause. If the government speeches were
intended to intimidate Ireland they would
fail to have that effect. At the same time
there would be considerable diiliculty w ith
the rent question.
lie regarded that the government had not
appreciated the giavity of the occasion. The
royal commission would not be able to re
port until the winter was over. If the gov
ernment had the landlord system replaced
b a system of single ownership, there
would be a risk to English lax payers. Mr.
Parnell said he had only agreed to the
adoption of the land purchase act of lSSo
because he then believed a settlement of
the national question would come event
ually, and because the conservative gov
ernment had sent to Ireland Lord Carnavan
who w as an avowed home ruler. Xow the
conditions were entirely changed. Mr.
Gladstone's purchase scheme would have
settled the land question. - Every penny of
the principal aud interest could have been
collected through the customs and excise
law, and the money would have been as
safe as the Bank of England.
If '.he government thought of solving the
Irish question without settling the land
question it would find that i; had got hold
of the wrong end of a very thorny stick.
The government must reduce rents, cither
at the expense of the landlords or the ex
pense of Britisli tax-payers.
Mr. Parnell denounced the dishonesty of
attempting to stimulate Irish industry" by
the liberal use of English money. He said
the Irish people bitterly refused to sell their
national birthright for the mess of pottage
which the government offered. (Parnellite
cheers.) The way to developo the resources
of Ireland was to allow the Irish to devel
ops themselves. (Cheers). They did not
rrant an influx of capital, for there was
plenty of that in Ireland. They wanted to
be allowed to help themselves. (Conserva
tive cheers and laughter,)
The government "allowed the Irish to
build harbors, drain lands and generally
develop the resources of the country, when
they did not allow the Irish to reap the
profit. (Cheers.) The Irish party repudi
ated the proposed fraud on the Britisli tar
payers. Let the government which, ob
tained office by misrepresentation he would
not say lying persue their own way sad
establish a wholesale system of robberjr ad
corruption. (Cheers.)
Mr. Parcall hart read as imiiili I t
A
the address, and proceeded. He said that
the judicial rents were too high; accused
the government of encouraging
landlords to evict by wholesale,
knowing that the agrarian crime
always followed eviction. Why did tenants
subject to monlight raids, refuse to
give evidence? Because, taking Kerry as
an example, the tenants know that but for
moonlight raids Lord Kenmore would not
leave a roof over the heads of his tenants.
The Irish would be patient but the incite
ments held out by landlords who tried to
extract impossible rents would bear fiaud
and crime. The landlords clamored for
coercion -and force and asked the govern
ment to adopt coercive measures. Yes, he
believed that coercion would come and very
severe coercion, too. Coercion that would
not stop at criminals, but attack other peo
ple also.
In conclusion he said the Irish will never
submit to a government not their own.
(Cheers.) The question of government will
always be fixed in the hearts of the Irish
people. (Prolonged cheers.)
Right lion. David Plunket, first com
missioner of public works, decided that
judicial rents were too high. He said these
were fixed on one basis of falling prices.
The tendency of the past eighteen montiis
had been in the direction of a decrease in
the number of evictions. The policy of
the government was to extend the act of
1831, and its success largely depends upon
the restoration of social order. He con
cluded by saying that the responsibility
taken upon himself by Parnell tonight wjis
an awful and terrible one. (Conservative
cheers.)
Mr. Gladstone, upon rising, was loudly
cheered. He began by accusing parliament
of having pursued an unusual course in
going so far outside of the speech from the
throne. He did not remember an occasion
in fifty years when the government thought
it politic to use the address as an opportu
nity for explaining its policy beyond
the compass of the speech. He
thought the government should have
reserved the main lines of their measures
until the measures themselves could be pre
sented; but he was unwilling to complain
of the action of the government. He inti
mated he would take no part in the meas
ures of Parnell's argument, but discouraged
any attempt to force a definite, premature
expression of opinion ef the policy which
the government foreshadowed tor their
future guidance. lie believed the govern
ment's policy was not a sober one, but was
eminently complex and difficult on the rent
question.
At this point Lord Randolph Churchill
rose to a point of order, urging that there
was only Mr. Parnell's amendment under
discussion.
Speaker Peel censured and reminded Mr.
Gladstone that he could review the govern
ment's policy generally after the specific
amendment 'had been disposed of.
Mr. Gladstone appealed for indulgence
and asked the house not to insist upon a
strict enforcement of the rule.
Lord Randolph Churchill said he was
willing to grant every indulgence, but he
did not wish the debate to be unduly pro
longed: Mr. Gladstone, resuming his speech, de
scribed the policy of the government as an
absolute inversion of the policy of the late
government. Instead of- giving Ireland
self-government, the present government
proposed that England should govern lie
land to a stealer extent Own it did at the
present time. The late government had
proposed that the rents and revenues of
Ireland be taken as security tor land pur
chased by loans, lie hoped the Tories who
condemned that security would be equally
as quick to condemn the security now of
fered. Was the tenant, he asked, to be
treated on a basis of the real rentable value
of the property, and the landlord upon a
basis ot judicial rent? And was the state
to make up the deficiency?
Mr. Gladstone maintained that there was
no power within parliament even to carry
into effect any such proposition. (Cheers.)
He had been taunted with having become
the leader of the Irish Nationalists, as if
that vas a ehaige against him; but he was
delighted at having any share or part what
ever, becoming a leader or a follower, he
did not care which, in any movement tend
ing to make smooth the path of the people
ot Ireland, and encourage them to hope
for a revision of their just rights. (Cheers.)
He feared the policy now announced
wonld increase the difficulties which the
late government had striven to diminish,
because that policy meant the adjournment
of Ireland's hopes; becouso it oifered Ire
land vv hat she did not want, and postponed
as long as possible a consummation which
alone would give rest and repose to Ireland.
(Cheer,.)
Is is understood that Mr. Parnell will
not press his amendment to a division, and
Mr. Sexton's amendment relating to Bel
fast, it is thought, will be reached by
Thursday.
The Unionists have issued a whip against
Mr. Parnell's amendment to the address.
Mr. Chambers will move for an adjourn
ment on deb xte on the address to tomor
row. Mr. Gladstone will start for Munich to
morrow on a three weeks vacation. He
has arranged to return if necessary on a
moment's notice.
Mr. Gladstone denied Lord Hartingtons
assertion that the late government's scheme
would throw the burden of difference be
tween the rental value of property and the
judicial rent on the states. He argued that
a royal commission would create an im
pression that Irishmen would be liable to
eviction, even if at the same
time their rents were unjust.
He censured it as unjust that Ireland
should be bowed by the same limitation- of
local government as are applied in England
and Scotland. He would lx? a clever man
who could prevent an extension of popular
institutions from being used as a lever to
obtain still further changes. As regarding
his being a laader of Parnell. He said they
were both endeavoring earnestly to answer
for the suite of Ireland as long as a system
is continued whereby the law is administer
ed in England with an English spirit, but
in Ireland with an Irish spirit
Lord Randolph Churchill said lie hoped
the debate would end on Thursday.
Mr. Sexton said he feared it wonld be
impossible to close the debate on that date.
The Daily Telegraph says, it is stated
that a sanguinary encounter has taken
place among the troops at .lossy, Romania,
resulting in killing and wounding many on
both sides.
Ireland.
Belfast. Aug. 24. Major Eger ha
gone to Dublin to confer with the Irish ex
ecutive in regard to recent Belfast riot.
The city is quiet today. Four more per
sons injured during the late riots were last
night removed to the hospital.
DuuLUf, Aug. 24. Lord Mayor Sulli
van presided today over the fortnightly
meeting of the national league held here.
In. his address he declared that Ireland was
Erepared to accept Mr. Gladstone's
ome rule as a settiement
of the controversy with England.
Of course Irishmen would not refuse to re
ceive whatever good things the Tories might
offer short of Mr. Gladstone's proposed
benefaction, but the Tories might as well I
mow now a ibmt laa we pcopia ot uw-i
land would never be contented until they
had a parliament of their own.
In conclusion, Mr. Sullivan addressed
himself to the Sir Red verse bill under which
he was appointed commander, and at once
proceeded to give his attention to the Kerry
landlords, who, said Mr. Sullivan, are
driving their tenants to desperation by the
British movement in ihe heart of Kerry
county, used for military purposes, which
is the scene of unusual actirity at present.
The place is being put in readiness to re
ceive five additional regiments of infantry
and four of cavalry'. These fresh troops
are to be used in assisting the work of evic
tion during the coming winter. The author
ities expect the default in rents among the
Irish peasantry will be unusually great, and
the present force in Ireland must be much
strengthened as they prove inadequate to
the work of protectinir the interests of Land
lords. At the meeting of the national league it
was announced the receipts for the past
fortnight amounted to 199 pounds, and
grants of 1S8 pounds had been made to
evicted tenants. Mr. Sullivan said the pas
sage of Sir Redverse's bills might produce
an apparent peace, but such peace would
be unreal and unlasting.
Mr. Harrington saicfit was the duty of
the league to explain to the suffering
tenantry the true facts of the case to warn
them of the troubles they must face during
the coming winter, the league and its
branches must sustain the tenants, and
must see the land from which tenants are
cast out be made a curse instead of a bless
ing to new tenants, and tenants themselves
must not negotiate with landlords for the
purchase of holdings until all evicted per
sons shall have been reinstated.
Dr. Kenney, M. P., said that tenants
must combine and not allow anybody in
their midst who had the baseness and folly
to take land from which a tenant had been
evicted for non payment of admitted im
possible judicial rents.

The officer commanding declared the whole
Bulgarian army was opposed to the depos
ing of Alexander and was prepared to fight
mid die for him.
The inhabitants fraternize with troops.
Large numbers of rural inhabitants are
Hocking to Phillopopolis. The provincial
population is f raternizeing in favor of Alex
ander. It is reported that Russian troops are
moving towards Rem. It is believed the
Bulgarian revolutionists no longer have
possession of the telegraph lines.

Bold Utterances and Actions of Con
spirators Throughout tho
Couutry.
Ci.kvklani), Ohio, Aug, 2-1. A meeting
of the Cleveland grou p of anarchists was
held last night to take action on the convic
tion of the Chicago nuarchNt. About one
hundred anarchists were present and several
speeches were delivered.
Christ Saam. leader of the group, said:
The reigning class and not the anarchists
had decfared war and war they should have
to the knife. The struggle would continue,
he said, until the great anarchist revolution
swept away all law and dictation. Then all
men would lw equal. The speaker admit
ted tliat the constitution guarantees equal
rights to all men, but said as now regarded
it was not worth the paper on which it was
written. Memories of the old patriot- who
founded the government had been outraged
by the Chicago verdict, and the shameful
manner in which the law had
been perverted, could then but know if it
was sufficient to cause them to turn in their
graves. Saum was firmly of opinion that
the condemned men would not suffer death
on the gallows. He said should that prove
the case it would not retard the anarchists
movement.
John OTIara, another speaker, said what
had occurred in Chicago w;is liable to take
place in Cleveland and other cities at any
lime, and ho wished to have the working
class express their sentiments in the be
ginning.
W. V. Hitter was the next speaker. He
srid when the great anarchist revolution
came there would be a change in the situa
tion. Soldiers would find work in store
for them, and of a sterner nature than a
trip of pleasure. -
A committee of nine was appointed to
visit 3rnyor Gardner, and demand of him
the right to use the public square for a
mass meeting of working people to protect
against the conviction of the Chicago con
spirators.
