The drift of events in Europe indicates that one of the greatest wars of modern times is close at hand. A special cable dispatch to the Chicago Tribune says: First of all, the secret of the Franzensbad interview, about which not a guess has been made by a single journal of Europe is, that M. de Giers urged Prince Brismarck earnestly to prevent Alexander's return to Bulgaria. Bismarck decline 1 to commit himself, took the matter ad referendum, and shortened the interview almost abruptly. A great amount of telegraphing between Berlin, Vienna, Loudon, Rome, and Constantinople ensued. Whether M. de Giers got an answer before his unexpectedly hasty departure is uot known, but the result’ was that Prince Alexander was not restrained from going to Bulgaria. It is believed to be certain that the pressure of Germany, Austria, and England has carried Turkey over once more and that the Porte will authorize Alexander as a tributary prince to enter Macedonia, subdue it, and incorporate it as apart of his dominion, held under the Ports, with the view of an eventual Kingdom of Bulgaria. Against this plan is set the practical certainty that Russia will attempt to occupy Bulgaria, whan she will be resisted by Austria, Turkey, Roumania, Bulgaria, and Servia. This will enable Germany to hold aloof, keep France in awe, and satisfy the Kaiser, whosa scruples have long delayed a collision between the Teuton and the Muscovite. It is a delicate thing to predict such a vast collision. I would not dream of doing it on my own poor responsibility, but it is a serious fact that the most trusted men in the English foreign service believe that war is inevitable.
