The Record Does the Exposing Act-Three
Big Jobs Under Suspicion-The New
County Democracy Split Respon-
sible for the Revelations.

BosToN. Sept. 23-The Record tonight
in a special edition called attention to GER
tain charges and scandals made concern
ing various contracts and purchases made
by the city. 1t says serious irregularities
have existed, but that it has been diff
cult to secure evidence upon which to
base u call for investigation. OF late
however more serious attention has been
given by persons interested in the city S
welfare. Facts of damaging ma
ture are secured The matters con
corning which inquiry will be made
are the Long Island purchase, the
water meter contract and the granting of
franchise to the Bay State Gas company.
The Dunbar estate on Long Island was
purchased for S157,00O, and subsequent
revelations showed that only $4,000 was
paid to its owners.
In the Bay State gas company franchise,
there are irregularities that would fully
equal those in the Fisher Hill case. The
Record intmates that the recent split in
the democratic party and the movement
to organize county democracy has much
to do with these revolutions.

WAR DANGEROUSLY NEAR.

LONDON. Sept. 23.-In the cabinet the
principal subject of discussion is under
stood to be Bulgaria, and the attitude of
Russia and Austria. Nothing else is talk
ed of in the lobby of the House of Com
mons. The general feeling in spite of all
the outward indications of peace, is that
war is coming. The reports published
here from Bulgaria are for the most part
either Enthusiastically or calculated to
create false views of the position of af-
talrs The situation there is considered
critical and civil war Is dangerously near

The foreign Office is disposed to take the
stand that, If the powers do not consider
1t Tor their interest to support her in pre-
venting the fall of Constantiuople, she will
ofler no opposition to Russia extending
her Influence to the Mediterranean. In
that case the Egyptian situation would be
entirely changed. England would con
slder the possession OF the road to India

circles the belief is universal that Sails
bury was completely out-wtted by NJ. de
Giers in the Bulgarian episode from the
time he returned Office to the final alb
dlcation of Alexander, and that Russia is
master of the situation in the Balkan
