BERLIN. Oct ia more hopeful peace feel
ing prevails in official circles. There was ami
mated buying on the Bourse to-day, and
reaction in favor of Russian securities. The
North German Gazette has a bitter article
assailing Prince Alexander as the cause Of the
present European crisis. The paper says that
Alexander, during his reign, ignored treaties,
forgot the Russian origin of his position, and was
faithless to his relatives and to the Cars fami-
~ and that his return to Bulgaria is impossible.
In consequence of statements made by the
Macedonians recently arrested for revolving at
Eskizagra, alleging that conspiracy existed
among the Russian partisans to overthrow the
Bulgarian government the streets are con-
stantly patroled by soldiers, the military have
been kept on the alert and police vigilance has
been redoubled.
1t is semi-oficially denied that occupation of
Bulgaria by Russia is imminent The present
policy of Russia, it is declared, is to await
events
