of Roumelia. It is time that the Dreibund should consider how long it will continue to allow Russia to make military preparations." ¶ The Russian newspapers concur in the opinion that the Baltcheff incident is proof that it is necessary for the powers to intervene in Bulgaria. The Novoe Vremya declares that the time is near at hand when the duties involved by the Berlin treaty will require fulfillment, CAUSE OF THE FLURRY IN GERMANY. ¶ Advices from Berlin this evening state that the murder of the Bulgarian Minister of Finance is one of the chief causes of the sudden flurry among the officials of the War Office, and that it looked upon as a serious indication of the gravest designs on the part of Russia. Dispatches have been busily parsing between the Foreign Offices of Berlin and Vienna, and also Bucharest, and it is now stated that the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of King Charles of Roumania at Bucharest next month will be made the occasion of a formal couference between the powers of the triple alliance. The Kaisers, both of Germany and Austria, and the King of Italy, have been invited as guests to the celebration, which is designed to be on a most magniliceut scale. Francis Joseph has promised to be present, but the German Kaiser will probably be represented by one of his leading and contidential officers, although he may conclude to go in person. At any rate, the sovereigns of the triple alliance will spare no effort to prove their friendship for the Roumanians, and hold that state to their side in the event of war. Roumania is in excellent condition for defense, having nearly completed a series of formidable fortifications along the Russian frontier, and having an army that is far from contemptible. ¶ M. Khitrovo, the Russian minister at Bucharest, issues a card proving he had no share in the plot to assassinate Stambouloff, as he was proven to have in the Panitzz conspiracy, and should evidence be obtained of his complicity in the late tragedy his recall will be demanded by Roumania. Bulgaria has requested the Servian authorities to search for some of the murderers who are supposed to have taken refuge in that kingdom. The statement that M. Mutkuroff, brother-in-law of M. Stambouloff, may have committed suicide because he was involved in the plot against M. Stambouloff finds no credit in Vienna, says a dispatch from that city. M. Mutkuroff was Minister of War, and enjoyed the entire confidence of his brother-in-law, the Premier, so much so that when Mutkuroff became sick some months ago Stambouloff hesitated to fill the post, being anxious to wait for the recovery of his relative. At length, on almost a peremptory request of Prince Ferdinand, M. Mutkuroff's resignation was accepted, and he went to Naples with a view of recovering his health. He was seized with a fatal attack while out riding in his carriage, and his body was embalmed and sent to Sofia. The murder of Baltcheff has tended to bring together again more closely Prince Ferdinand and Stambouloff, the former having become somewhat jealous of the absolutism exercised by his Premier, though there has never been the slightest doubt of the Minister's fidelity. ¶ The Bulgarian reserves have been notified to be ready for service on call, and the principality is alive with warlike preparations, as there is a strong apprehension that a hostile movement on the part of Russia may be expected. ¶ The Greek who was arrested at Sofia on the day following the assassination of Minister Baltcheff, on suspicion of being the murderer, has given a satisfactory account of his movements on the eve of the shooting, and has accordingly been set at liberty. Many other arrests have been made of persons suspected of complicity in the crime. All these prisoners are still held, but none of them have been identified as the assassin. It is reported that a wounded man has been arrested on the Servian frontier on suspicion of being one of the party of assassins whom the gendarme cut with his sword at the time of the shooting. ¶ Three hundred and fifty Bulgarian refugees, armed with Russian and Berdan rifles, were waiting in Servian frontier towns in order to march to Sofia in the event of the success of the Bendereff plot to murder M. Stambouloff.

YON BtETTICIIER TO RETIRE

He Has Secured a Leave of Absence and Will Resign in tho Autumn. Still on Good Term9 with the Kaiser Attempt on the Life of the Argentine Republic's Prime Minister The Sligo EIoU. IJCnTTICIJKIt WILL RETIRE. lie Is Still Honored by the Emperor, However, Who Holds Him In Efttet-m. Berlin, March SO. Minister Von Bo?t ticher is about to take a leave of absence and will be away till autumn, for the sake of his health. Ho will then resign, owing to the recent unpleasantness arising from the supposed borrowing from tho Guelph fund. Nobody in Uormany, except a few cxiremo radicals like Hen Richter. believes he ever received 50,000 marks out of the Guelph fund, but the situation is so painful that it can hardly fail to lead to his resignation. That the Emperor and Caprivi did not accept Bcetticher's offer to retire a fortnight ago is due partly to their wish to show the world tnat the esteem in which thev hold the Minister remains unaltered, and partly to their aversion to even the appearance of lending any assistance to private intrigues against him. The aff air has stirred np such deep irritation all over Germany that the application of the interest, as well as the administration of the Guelph fund, will hereafter he changed. The government is already preparing a bill on the subject for the Prussian Landtag. There is, however, no foundation for the assertion that the fund is to bo handed over to the Doke of Cumberland. The latter'a father. King George, of Hanover, himself determined, in accord with Prussia, that the fund should be entailed and kept in a public place of deposit in Prussia, that is, under the care of a Prussian law court, and that the interest only should be paid to his heirs. Owing to the subsequent sequestration of the fund this way of disposing of the interest has not yet been carried out. It is not even now publicly known where the fund is kept, and the conjectures on this point are too vague to be worth reproduction. There are curious rumors current as to the past application of one iuterest of the fund. According to one story, an ex-chief of the secret political police, on one occasion, received a douceur of 50.000 marks (2,500 from this source, but this would account for a mere trifle of the amount which Prussia has used from the fund for the past qnarter of a century. The annual interest aloue must be upward of 100,000. Dr. Von Bcctticber and his wife have again been entertained at a dinner by the Emperor, who bestowed upon them special marks of distinction, and it is now generally understood that the dethroned Chancellor's latest attempt to reinstate himself by revenging himself upon those who had abandoned his cause has proved the worst failure of all the coups bo has attempted. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. A. Boy Tries to Kill Geo. Rock, Prime Minister of the Argentine Republic St. Louis, March SO. A special dispatch from Buenos Ayres to the Globe-Democrat says that the citv is greatly excited over an attempt made Saturday .afternoon on the life of General Roca. Prime Minister of the Bepnblic. After a Cabinet meeting, which lasted until 5:30 o'clock. General Roca, accompanied by a friend, Don Gregorio Zoler, entered his tcarriage and proceeded on his way homeward. As they passed Calle Cangallo, a shot was heard and General Roca at once stopped the carriage and said: "My God. I am wounded." A great crowd surrounded the carriage and the police made twenty arrests, among them a boy twelve to fourteen years of age, who sr. id he was out of employment and being convinced that General Itoca was the cause of the ruin of the country ho decided to kill him.

Attempt at Jury Bribing. CmCAGO, March 80. A bold attempt at jury bribing in a ten-thousand-dollar damage case against the Yerkes oable street railway was exposed in Judge McConnell-s court to-day. The accused jury-fixers are J. J. Hopper and M. C. Shannon, two realestate brokers. Hopper admitted bis gnilt, bnt Shannon denied all knowledge of the crime, though admitting acquaintance with Hopper and h aving talked with the latter since the trial began. It appeared from Hopper's confession that after Shannon was selected as a juror Hopper went to the claim agent of the street-railway company and offejed to secure a verdict in favor of the company or a disagreement for $soo. The claim agent pretended to accept, and had Hopper shadowed from the moment he left the company's offlce. The arrests were made just when the jury was retiring to consider a verdict.

In his pockets were a gold watch and 40 cents in money. Verdict Affirmed In the Carroll Case. Ottawa, March CO.
