Regarded by the Authorities as Sure to

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Ofhcial circles in Lon
don and at all the continental capitals accept
as an absolute certainty that war in the East
will open in the spring. In a recent circular
to the powers Lord Idlesleigh expresses hopes
that there will be nornaal and peaceful issue
to the crisis. He also proposes united ex-
preston of sympathy for the Bulgarian gov
ernment's efforts to vindicate its independ-
ence and maintain order. To this none Of
the powers have yet replied. Prince Bis.
marck will do his utmost to avert war.
Amongst other considerations he knows that
a conflict between Russia and Austria would
be the signal for panic on the German
bourses which would cause the ruin Of thou
sands. An authoritative estimate of the
amount of German money invested in Rus
STA places the amount at five millions of
marks, which exceeds the sum received from
Roumania in 1871 as war indemnity. Another
German financial authority places the indem
nifty of the Cars government to German in
vestors at ten millions. The London market
has long been distrustful of Russian securi-
ties and now holds but small amount, the
greater portion of them having been trans
ferred to Berlin. The failure of
General Kaulbars' mission is telling
seriously on Russiais financial position.
German bankers have recently been trying
to quietly place Russian securities on the
English and French markets, but without
much success.
Court circles are rejecting on the changing
sentiments OF her majesty, who now favors
Prince Waldemar of Denmark for the candi-
dature Of the Bulgarian throne. Prince Wal
demar in 1t spending to question put to him
by the Gar as to whether he would come
forward as Russias candidate consented upon
the condition that he be given freedom of
action in all internal affairs and if he fit
be permitted to raise Bulgaria to The rank of
a kingdom. The Gar as the story goes hesi-
tates over these stipulations Of the Prince.
The nature of the illness OF the Czarewitch,
who is suffering from pulmonary complaint,
is attracting great attention at the Flu ;lish
court, as 1t virtually outs end to the
scheme long fostered by the Czarina and by
the Queen of Denmark of mai lying the
Czarewitch to the Princess Louise OF Wales.
Sofia, Oct. 17.-It is reported that General
Kauiba1s he's advised the Gar either to oc
cupy Bulgaria or to sever al relations with
tina 'ountry.
SCFIA, Oct 17.-Kussia intends to present
to the Bulgarian government a new note de-
claripg the recent elections in Bulgaria illegal
and demanding the indefinite adjournment
of the Sobranje. These ,.emant!s will be
peremptorily refused. 1t is reported that
NJ. Niklindof, the Russian agent, is about to
quit Sofia.
SOFIA Oct. 17.-6;adpan Effendi, special
envoy of the Porte, is en- route to Sofia
from Constantinople. 1t is asserted here
that he mas been entrusted by the Turkish
government to advise Bulgaria's compliance
with Russla's demand that the assembling of
the grand Sobranje be Indefinitely post
poned
