DRAWING TO A CRISIS.
The Bulgarian Question Must of
Necessity Soon Be Settled.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The longevity of
threatened men is proverbial, and the
occupant of the Bulgarian throne is an
eXemplar of the aphorism as regards his
existence as ruler. The journals of
Europe have again and again announced
his last appearance on the political
stage, but he obStinately insists upOn
cOnfounding their prediction and holds
to his position with tenacity which,
all things considered, vouches for his
pluck or obstinacy, although the world,
it is true, gives the credit for his stick
ing capacity to the courage and
ambition of his mother, who is
evidently determined to have in
some form recompense for the
millions expended by her to behold her
son ruler over a half-barbarOus prov
lnce, the target of aSSaSSinS and plot
tiers and the plaything of the great pow
erS surrounding. The public has natur-
ally grown incredulous over the conf
dent statements of Prince Ferdinand's
enforced retirement, reiterated for the
hundredth time, but affairs really seem
to be drawing to crisis in that section
of the ever-veXed Balkan provinces.
Lord SaliSbury'S remark at the lord
mayors banquet, that the best thing to
do anent the Bulgarian question was to
let it severely alone, has provoked
comments from the Vienna papers,
which do not appear to know Lord Sal
lsbury's temper. or they would
NEVER SUSPECT HIM OF IRONY.
There is every reason to believe that
the Paris Figaro has told the truth-un-
Willingly, probably-in stating that Ger
many and Russia have come to a per-
feet understanding of the Bulgarian
question. There are cOrroborating cir
cumstances which would seem to prove
that the Figaro's readers have been in
troduced to unusual probabilities.
Whether this will hurt the circulation
of the lively sheet or not, only time can
prove. The ancient policy of giving a
dog bad name before hanging him
seems to have been commenced by Rus
sia, with the virtual compliance of Ger
many. What Austria will think of it is
not matter for much doubt, but she
will bear a great deal before thinking of
rupturing the tripatite alliance. We have
from Russian sources undoubtedly
most appalling accounts of the state of
of affairs in the Balkan provinces. In
cendiarism, pillage and brigandage are
rife in all the small governments bor-
derlng on the Danube, and the neces-
sity of adopting the strongest measures
to prevent virtual chaos is urged.
Not only are strangers unsafe, but
travels altogether suspended. The peas
ants are fleeing to the towns by the light
of their blazing homes, and neither the
lives of man nor honor of woman is
safe. The picture is overdrawn, un-
doubtedly, but the effect intended to be
conveyed is the important point, and
that is that there is no resource but in
the repression of the so-stated govern
ment existing there, by the inter-
vention of an iron hand whose
hand there is no need TO mention.

BOMBS BY THE BUSHEL.
A Workman Discovers Seventeen
in Il II cap OF Scrap Iron.

IN IL cap OF Scrap Iron.
Special to the Globe.
NEWPORT, KY, Aug. 1S.-About 10
a. III. Friday a workman at the Newport
Iron and Steel works, while engaged in
sorting some scrap iron, ran across a
piece of gas pipe about seven inches
long and filled with something. He re-
ported his find to Secretary A. p. Gahr
and others. The workman was ordered
to continue his search and succeeded in
discovering seventeen genuine dyna-
mite bombs out of two or three tons of
scrap iron. These bombs were of the
description of those made by the Chicago
anarchists and used in the murderouS
work of the Haymarket. Naturally
the finding of these bombs created a
great sensation about the works. A
little sober reflection showed that the
bombs were not placed there with the
intention of blowing up the works or
lnjuring any one connected Herewith.
The iron among which the bombs were
found was old railroad iron and was
bought from junk men and dealers in
the usual way. One SuppOSitiOn is that
the bombs were shipped with a lot of
scrap iron from Chicago. 1t is thought
that the maker or owner of the bombs
had become fearful of their being dis
covered III his pOSSleSSon and had hid
den them in some garret or Out-of-the
way place, where they had been discov-
cred by a servant or housewife who
were unaware of their character and had
sold them to some junk dealer. In this
way they had found their way to the
Newport iron and steel works. The
company has already commenced an in
vestigation. Fifteen of the bombs were
carefully sunk i'll the Licking river.
The other two are on exhibition in Mr..
Gahr's office. One of these has been
opened and found to contain dynamite

WEEDING OUT FOSSILS.
Emperor William Orders Some
Sweeping Changes in the Com
mands of the ARMY.

BERLIN, Aug. 1S.-Herr Won Boet-
tlcher's return to office is the natural Sc
quence of the death of the Emperor
Frederick. Prince Bismarck was op-
posed to Frederick's decree to oust him
as long as possible. The Emperor Will
lam, besides having a strong personal
regard for Her Won BOetticher, support
ed him during the crisis which ended
with his resignation, and has taken the
flrst opportunity to reinstate him in
Office as vice president of the Prussian
ministry. Sweeping changes in the
command of the army are impending.
Nine more generals, nine lieutenant
generals and number of major gener-
ais will retire. Gen. Won Schellendorff's
successor as minister of war will not be
Gen. Won Caprivi, as reported, but Gen.
Won Hahnke. the present chief of
the military cabinet. Gen. Won Hahnke
is scientific soldier. an apt writer, a
reputed strategist and favorite of the
emperor. Gen. Won SchellendOrff gets
command of the First army corp; Gen.
Won Pape resigns the command of the
guards. Gen. Won AlvenSteben succeed
ing him; Gen. Won Branchitch takes
Won Hahnke'S place, and Gen. VOgel
Won Falkenstein becomes quartermaster
SCLSIdl. ice aululTdl COuuG Won
MOuts already acts as permanent
chief of the naval department., Gen. Won
Caprivi, his predecessor in that office,
getting the command of the Thirteenth
army corps. The inspection of fortresses
will be confided to Gen. Won Goetz.
These changes are simultaneous with
energetic reforms regarding the cloth
ing and drilling of the troops, reor-
ganization of the artillery force and
so-forth. The reforms are based on
plans decided upon in 1887. Feverish
activity pervades every department
of the army. Notwithstanding the wide
operation and brusque character of these
changes the war Office is confident that
the army will be kept every moment
we'll in hand. 1t is not case of ''swap-
ping horses while crossing a stream"
Each man already knows his work. AL
though the leading commands are con-
fided to younger men, they are not
young men. Gen. Won Waldersee is
tifty-six years old and Gen. Won Hahnke
fifty-tWo. All are men of strength, ma
turity and ripe experience.

PARIS, Aug. 1s.-The expected irrita-
tion in France over the speech delivered
by Emperor William at Frankfort is de-
veloping rapidly, though officially there
has been no sign made as yet. The
more important of the French newspa-
pers observe dignified silence, which
is unusual with them in such circum-
stances, but few of the smaller ones
are rabid in their denunciation of the
speech. The very silence of the great
papers is regarded as significant of the
Intensity of the feeling created, and their
restraint under the provocation fur
nished by the head of the German gov
ernment is commended on all sides and
is accepted as evidence that France will
not allow herself to be drawn into a
quarrel with Germany at the present
moment, but will bide her time. 1t is
now asserted by apologists for the
emperor, who have become alarmed at
the excitement which his speech has
created, that the kaiser merely intended
to convey warning to the Beulangists.
This may be true, but the warning has
certainly resulted in alarming the whole
of Europe.

bomb, five and one-half inches long and
three-quarters of an inch bore, tightly
packed with gun powder, plugged at
both ends and a fuse attached was
lighted by some miscreant. 1t failed to
explode. The bomb was not dis
covered until yesterday morning
and it was thought to be a hoax
but upon being filed in two the serious
nature of the thing was made known.
There was an audience of nearly 600
people present, mostly women and chill
dren, and the result of an explosion
would have been very disastrous. This
is the elimination of series OF rotten
eggs and other disagreeable receptions
the Prohibition speakers have met with
since they started out to stump the
country. Who placed the bomb there
is not known. There is great excite
ment at Mannheim and the authorities
are endeavoring to trace the ruffi&ns.

he congratulates the Centerists for main

shows that the Vatican is glad the Cen

promise on the eve of the septennate
struggle as implicitly as the pope then
desired. The growing discomfort be-

death of her husband, would also try to
