THE SHIPKA PASS MEMORIAL.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 29
The Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, and General Ignotieff participated in the celebrations in connection with the completion of the memorial church at Shipka Pass (the scene of the memorable fighting of 1877 with the Turks). The. Metropolitan of Starazogora took a leading part in the consecration ceremony on an equality with the Russian clergy, the independence of the Bulgarian Church being thus recognised contrary to the Greek Patriarchs' decision of 1872.
