~----- ---- -FOR- Wha.t Caused the Balkan War. Jn order to the better undentand this . question consult a late map of south -eastern Europe,thnt you may see the location of the contest. The last Russo-Turkish war (1877- 8) closed with the treaty of San Stefano. Before that contest the Danube River marked t h e north ern boundary of Turkey, but by this treaty the countries shown on the map as Bulgaria and Eastern Rqumelia were to form one independent State under it.s own rul er, :md under the name of Bulgaria. As the new 8tate was well unclerstoocl t o be subj ect t:o Russian control, this division was unsatisfactory to the other large Powers, and again wrui greatly opposed by 'l'urkish provinces, and S ervia, 1\facedoni.a im cl Greece, who objected t o being oversh adowed in size by so largo a Power as the n e w uue would be. Turkey, too, of course objected to being shorn of so large a p ortion of h er dominions. To settle these troubl es and to avert further h ostili ties, the Bel'!in Conferen~e of leading Powers of Europe was called in 1878. This Congress effected a compromise by which the Bulgaria of tho San Stefano treaty was divide d by the Balkan Mountains into t wo separate States. Tho part north of the Balkan~ was t o remain an i ndependent State, Bulgaria, under its · own ruler. 'l'he Congress appointed a German Prince, Alexander of Battenb erg, as its first ruler. The part south of the Balkans was to be a separate S·ate, called Eastern Roumelia dependent on tlie Sultan of Turkey, who h ad the appointing of its Governor. 'l'his compromise pacified all the parties, though the appoin tment of.Alexander as ruler of Bulgaria was distasteful to the Czar of Russi!!., as he was not favorable to Russian ideas. This, then, was the genera.I situation t h ere unt il a few weeks ago, when the (East) Roumelians r evolted from 'rurkish rule and j oined t h e stamfard of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria. :Formerly Russia desired the union of Bulgaria and ~astern Roumelia, under strong Russian influences, but when the union was effected under Prince Alexan der, the Czar fel t opposecl t o it. Servia holds that if the B er lin t reaty is to be annulled, sh e has a right to contend for that part of Roumelia which was taken from h er in the previous arrangements, while b oth Macedonia and Greece tilso want each a slice, but as yet remain quiet. The sit uation is now indeed a very complicated one. Servia h as declared war against Bulgaria, and already ~everal engagements have occurecl, wit·h varying success up t o this writing. Rmssia d esiresA lexander'soverthrow, but will not see Servia, Austria's protege, and acti!f))_g probably at her bidding,acq uire more tell'r itor y. Turkey is delightad to see her Ch!l'istian neighbors slaying each other, but willl not, if sh e can help it, allow Roumelia to be torn from h er, and th113 still weaken h er h old in E urope. :France has ceaseil to have much diplomatic interest or influence in Eastern qu estions . England is oosy wit h election2. Italy prefers to be on the winning side. Aust:ria is backing Servia, and Germany can not go back on Aushia, and so they stand j m t now. Alexan1for has applied to Turkey for assistance, but the Porte refused unW all troops had b een withdraw n from the R oumelian frontier. This demand was complied with, but tl~e P orte is r1ow undecidoo. Alexander has also appealod to the P tlwer s, claiming that Servia is a cting against all int ernat ional law and eq uity, but for the nmsuns before given, the Powers.kave s o far r efuBed to n otice h~s app eal. A conference of the Power s was caUed to settle ml\tters amicably if p ossible, an d they ha.ve u ecided that affairs must b e r eturned t o th e situation'i n which they wer e b efore the war. This is bin ding on b oth S ervia and B ulgaria, <.0n.cl should the former refuse immediate peace lunder t h o t er ms of the Conference, two 0£ the P ow· ers of Europe will force her into o b@dience. S ince the above woo written t h e ru!WS lrns com e to hand of ;m amnesty b et ween Bulg:!.rjil. and Servia, so that, if this news is correct, th o con test imiy b e consicoered ii.tan end.

Then by the order of promotion Mr. Hancock sh ould be R eeve, Mr. VanCamp, ht deputy; Mr. S male, who received th e larger vote, 2nd <leputy; and Hx. Cryderman, senior Conncillor. There seems to be a st rong feeling over the town ship t hat Mr. D yer should re-enter t he Council, and should he consent to fill t h e gap probably no more practical man can be found.
