J EIEPLI WHITER Bulgaria Not Likely to Do Anything Until It Hears From the Powers. The Return of Prince Ferdinand to His Capital Is Also Anxiously Awaited. Air Filled With Rumors at Sofia of Mobilization of Bulgarian Army. Sofia. Bulgaria. Sept. 16. —No important step is likely to be taken at i the present critical juncture, pending ! the return to the capital of Prince Ferdinand and a reply from the powers or some intimation from them in’ response to Bulgaria’s note.

It is expected that | a week will suffice to enable the min i istry to judge of the extent to which , its final appeal to the powers is likely to prove successful. Doubst are expressed In diplomatic circles whether, the Bulgarian note will bring any decisive results, but there is every disposition to recognize the sincerity of the ministry's attitude and its complete justification for issuing such a document in view of the immense forces that Turkey is gathering in threatening proximity to the Bulgari-; an frontier.
