cline the Proffered Throne.
LONDON, Nov. 11.-After the election of
Prince Waldemar to the Bulgarian throne, yes.
terday the Austrian and German ambassadors
at St Petersburg were instructed by their gov
ernments to inquire of Russia the name of the
candidate she favored as Prince Alexander's
successor. If Russia refuses to accept the cleo
ton of Prince Waldemar, or to nominate anoth-
er candidates, it will be considered that she en-
tertains designs against Bulgarian independence,
and. in this event, England, Germany Austria
and Italy will arrive at understanding similar
to the one that existed among them at the period
of the Berlin congress.
Prince Waldemar has sent telegram to the
regents expressing his grateful sense of the
honor conferred upon him by the Sobranie in
electng him Prince of Bulgaria. He states,
however, that the decision to his acceptance
rests with his father the King of Denmark and
adds that other duties may prevent his assum-
ing the rulership of Bulgaria. The Princes re-
ply is considered to presage his refusal of the
throne

to Prince Waldemar official notice of his cleo
ton by the Sobranie to succeed Prince Alexan-
der, have departed for Cannes, France where
the Prince is sojournng

of Denmark asking his consent TO Prince Walde-

Russia Will Not Have Things Her Own Way
London Cable Special
Europe, at last. has awakened to the fact that
Russia will not have it all her own way in the
Euxine. Lord Saiisburys speech was the bold
est an English Premier has uttered for many
years. An old diplomatic, tonight, says it re-
calls nothing so much as the speech the French
Emperor made on New Years, 1870, which pre-
pared the world for the Prussian war. Lord
Salisburys talk was distinctly bellicose and tan
tamount to declaration that England will fight
ifAustria and Turkey are ready
Today's Pesther Lloyd seems to show that
Austria, if not ready, at least feels that she
must fight and is resigned to the ordeal. Aus
trlan troops are being massed at Cracow to an
swer the Russian concentration which has been
going on for month back across the border
Austria is also ready to send two corps into Ser
via with Servan CO operation. It is worth while
to note that the only vulnerable point on the Aus
troRussan frontier for Russian invasion is be-
tween Cracow and Kattowitz. Every other
approach is defended by mountain ranges
Strategists say that this entrance by the neck of
the bottle is extremely dangerous to invaders
since Germany could cut across it any moment
if she chose, and it is impossible to sufficiently
protect it TO the rear.
Much Importance is now attached to the Rou-
manian attitude which is openly anti Russian
King Charles is believed to be guided by Prince
Bismarck. 1t is notable, too that the Berlin
papers have suddenly turned face and now
sharply criticise Russia. Ia word it looks as
if time had come to spring the trap upon the
bear. The question is, will he not draw backl
