During the three days given here to the com- memoration of the dead, an endless proces- sion of people were carrying wreaths to the Central Friendsof, and other cemeteries. Even the street cars were hung with wreaths A for lack of space to carry them inside. The Ceniral Friendsot, which already con- tains the dust of wore than a quarter of a million of bod- ies, 1s a great place of pilgrimage. The sight was solemn but not sad, Nearly every wrave was covered with flowers, Particularly noticeable were the fine monuments of Count Haymelle, the ministerof Uchatis, the general and inventor; the grave of Oppenheimer, the chevalier du Ponteux, the hero, or rather the promoter of the Lam Berg.

[Copyright 15% by James Gordon Bennett.) St. Prrensnuna, Nov, [New York Herald Cable—Special to the Berk.|—The feeling in diplomatic circles here is that in spite of the noisy, bombastic bluff and swag- ger ot England, and of the wore dignified but sullen growls of Austria, no power in Europe would move a single soldier or sailor to restrain Russin from acting as she pleases in Bulgaria. A Kussian statesman, who was a member of the cabinet under the late emperor, said to me te-day: “It was solely due to Russian blood and Russian money that Bulgaria ever obtained her existence as nation. The Bulgarians are like unruly schoolboys, If they mutiny against Russin they must be flogged, that’s all, and nobody in Europe would prevent their chastisement. Besides, Bulgaria is now on the verge of an- archy, and affords no seeurity or protection to Hussian subjects and Russian prop- erty. England under similar circum- stances bombarded Alexandria and occupied Egypt, thus affording a valuable precedent; for our action in Bul- garin. But Russia is, In foreign politics, more liberal and more forbearing than Eng- land. We do not even dream of bo mbarding and destroying Varna, which, after ail, would be a very smali affair compared with England’s wanton destruction of the second commereial metropolis of the Meditorrancan, Nor do we intend to oceupy Bulgaria, as England did Egypt. unless, of course, {uture ev ents compel us to do so, As to the future prince of Bulgaria, the essentlal condition is that he should belong in religion to the ortho- dox Greek churel.” emarked, *“Lhat would bar Prince Wal- ply was, *Yes,” and the interview ended, 1t is no secret here that for s ne time past the ezar has acted as Lis own minister of for clgn affairs, DeGiiers being at most only a brake or moderators, This has been particu- larly 50 in the Bulgaglan business.

[Capyright 18% by James Gordon Bennett.) Maprin, Nov, 6,—INew York Herald Ca- ble—Special to the Bi:e.|—Negotistions for a commereial treaty between Spain and the United States now stand as follows: I'here is a substantial difterence between the terms of agreement signed at Washington by the secretary of state for foreign affairs and the Bpanish minister, Muruaga, and the eviginal conditions agreed 1o by Minister Currle and Senor Moret in Magdrid. 1he latter had stip ulated that the old convention of 1584 shonld remain in force until January 1, 1357, and that the new treaty should be nezotiated be. fora that date, wheteas it seews that the state departmient and the Spanish minister in Washington tixed no tine for duration of a 1886, ~TWELVE ‘“ umn of Cuban tariff in exchange for therepeal | Of the 10 per cent advalorem duty on Spanish West Indian imports, Senor Moret and Minister Currie, when they fixed a delay and | virtually agreed that if the treaty were not negotiated before January 1, 1 a doferen- tial treatment of fmports would be renewed on both sides, had grave reasons for so doine. The pressute brought to bear on the Mac government by public opinion in the colon and by their representatives of every shade in the cortes, and the well known free trade inclinations of Senor Moret, are very nearly balanced by the protection influences of the shipping and manufacturing interests repre- sented in the cabinet by the colonial secre- tary of state, Senor Balabuer. Senor Moret, directly he returned from a few days holiday in the north of Svain, wrote to Minister Currie that he was ready to begin nezotia tion. Though both Moret and Currie show great reserve, it is considered almost ce tain that they will negotiate a convention similar to that of General Foster in 1854 The only stumbling block and great difficulty will again be the exclusion of other countries from the concessions which Spain may make to the United States in Cuba and Porto Rico. American diplomney insists that a reciprocity treaty isa special bargain in consideration for certain special advantages granted by one party to the other which creates snecial re ciprocal advantages that nations which have the most favored nations 1se in their con ventions eannot elaim unless they first grant Spain special advantages equivalent to those that America would give by this reciprocity treaty. 1t is no secret that at the time of the Forest-Eduayin treaty the French and G man governments protested against these views of American diplomacy, and more re- cently British Minister Sir Clare-Ford has told Senor Moret that he held England to be entitled to whatever advantages any treaty ¢ grant the United States in the Spanish West Indies. 'The pretentions of the Euro- pean government first revealed themselves when American imports were granted the third column of West Indian tariff by the convention of 1584, and recently the British, German, French and Belgian ministers have informed Senor Moret they must also insist on getting the third eolumn. The Madrid government is about 1o comply with this re- quest. The Emperor's Speech. [Copyright 1856, by Jan ordon Bennelt.] Broa-Prsi, Nov. 6 k Herald Cable—Special to the Brr.]—The emporor, in receiving the delegates to-day at Bud: Pesth, said that in the final settlement of the Bulgarian question, whieh must take place witl the co-operation of the powers, a legal condition must be ereated in the autonomous prineipality which, while taking into consid- eration the amissable wishes of the Bulgar- ians, must correspond to existing treaties and European interests, “The excel® lent ations in which we stand with all the powers,” continued his majesty, “and the assurances of peaceful intention which we receive from those powers, give hone that notwithstanding the critical state of the east while defending the interests of Austris Hungaria we will_succeed in keeping the blessing of peace for the monarchy and for Europe.” This speceh has been generally approved, The Presse s that resolution and candor are the best means of preventing acts which violate European law and the fore endanger peace. The New Frei Press criticises the speech for not showing what steps have .been or are to be taken to connteract Russia, but interprets it as meaning that whatever measure Kaulbars may undertake, whether even a_partial or a total oceupation of Bulgaria, Austria will not recognize them as accomplished withont the assent of the powers. It hopes that the sveech will strengthen Bulgarian regency, now showing sitns of weakness, and con- firm its opposition to Russia. Malnoky s ex- pected toraise the question of confidence next week.

THE INDIANA SENATORSHIP, It is very vrobable that the scheme of the democrats who favor the eclec- tion of Governor Gray, of Indiana, to sie- ceed Senator Harrison will be nipped in the bud, since the election of Colonel Robertson, a republican, to fill the vacancy in the lienten- ant governoiship caused by the a l]l{lnll\lllu'nl of Lieutenant Governor Manson to be col- leetor of internal ~revenue, thus making H election to the senate a political ab- and therefore out of the question, as it would leave the governorship to ' go to Robertson. Gray's friends say that Manson has not vacated the office of lieutenant governor and will not give it up. enator MeDonald, who is Senate Harrison’s prospective stcecssor and Gray’s al for the senate, is here and says that. it difference whether Manson for- ed the lieatenant noship coptance of the off al revenue, and th no rnot, is equivalent to a resig- ion in connection with the proclamation of the governor, MeDonald intends to con test the matter if Gray's friends insist upon Mason’s return to the lientenant governor and it is gencrally believed that MeDon- ald’s position is right, CLEVELAND AND 1118 FOLLOWERS, The president is likely to be tronbled shi with a case of discipline in his cab- inet, ‘The friends of Distriet Attorney Benton, of Missonrl, who was summarily removedl for vielating the president’s order prohibiting oftice holders from making cam- paiin specches, are nquining what is to- bo done with Postmaster General Vilas, who did the same thing, The attorney general said any other official against whom com- plaint was made for viotating the pres arder would be removed, as Benton wis, and Senators Cockerell and Vest propose 1o’ sub- mit to the president copies of newspapers containing the politieal speeehies of Vilas and request that the medicine given to the goose be administered to the gander, Mr. Vilas admitted that e did make politieal specches, but they were ontside of the regnlar routme af the campaign and were not under | the auspices of any political committee.
