this matter and worried about it, and he could not

The Forged Diplomatic Documents.
THEY ARE AT LAST MADE PCBLIC-THE CAR SAID
TO KNOW THEIR AUTHOR.


TO KNOW THEIR AUTHOR
The text OF the forged diplomatic documents ap-
pears under the approval OF the car In the Rechs
Anzeiger, OF Berlin TIE Reic'ts Anzeiger prints
four letters, three OF which purport to have been
written by Prince Ferdinand, OF Bulgaria, TO the
Countess or Flanders. sister OF King Carol I, of
Roumania The first OF these three letters is dated
August q. In 1t Prince Ferdinand says he would
not have gone so far II he had not received the
most satisfactory information from Berlin through
a nSte written by Prince ReusS. German ambaS sa-
dor at Vienna, explaining the secret views OF
Prince Bismarck. Prince Ferdinand incloS2d the
note to the countess, and begged her TO induce
King Carol to use his influence at St. PETERSBURG
The second document Is forged letter to Prince
ReusS, stating that Prince FerdinandS taking
possession OF the Bulgarian throne was question
OF personal initiative, to which the German gov
eminent cannot for the time being give official sup
port II was not. however, to be concluded that
the German government wOulI not give unofficial
encouragement to Prince Ferdinands enterprise.
However uniavOrable or hostile, says the letter,
the acts OF Germany IN the meanwhile may
appear, the sentiments secretly cherished
by her may one day be made apparent.
The third document Is a letter from Ferdinand to
the Countess OF Flanders under date OF September
TO. He says that in spite OF the open war that
Germany Is urging against him he receives assur-
anceS every few days from German agents tn {
Bsinarck's policy may change openly in the most
favorable manner, Germany'S attitude depending
upon the issue OF grave question with Russia. In
a fourth letter Ferdinand informs the countess
that, according TO a communication he has re-
ceived from Berlin, the late OF Bulgaria has been
discussed at meetings between Bismarck, KalnC-
ky and CriSpi, and that the result was favorable
to Bulgaria. The central powers, he says, hope
that Bulgaria will give no occasion TO the powers
to modify their friendly attitude. Prince Ferdi-
nand denies that any Of these documents are au-
thentic. He says there was never any correspOn-
dence between him and the Countess OF Flanders.
The forgers remain undetected. The Reichs An
zeiser says: "The sole purpose Of the forgeres was
to SOW diStrust among the powers. The statement
that the fabricatOrs have not been discovered is
untrue. The car knows whence the forgerieS pro-
ceeded but refuses TO punish the perpetrators
A London dispatch says: The publication OF a
resume OF the forged documents and correspond
ence designed to place the car and Prince Bis
marck in false positions has had beneficial effect
and the suspicion Is rapidly growing that Princess
Clementine, the mother OF Prince Ferdinand, Is at
the bottom OF the plot. Prince Ferdlnands tenure,
precariOus from the moment he first set foot in
Bulgaria, has at no time been as critical as now.

The Crowded End Of q Car.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Allow me to add to the "crowded car question
that have seen, on more than one occasion, more
persons on the rear platform with the conductor
than were inside say five outside TO three within,
and it is OF almost hourly occurrence that per-
sons are allowed to remain on the platform when
there Is ample room within, necessitating ladies to
pass through narrow space between opposite
men. quite as Objectionable Is the practice OF
conductors swinging out and grabbing lady by
the arm and then put his arm around her and
push her In, even when she has an escort: which
q sense OF prOpriety should prevent, and there Is
no necessity for his taking hold OF a lady at ALL
unless he makes 1t by starting the car before she
can get in. Both these practices can be and should
be stopped, according to the views OF

WHY MINISTER STAI.LO WAS IGNORED IN PRESENTING
1T AT The VATICAN.
dispatch from Baltimore, January l, says: 1t
is learned that there is special reason why Pres-
dent Cleveland presented his jubilee Gift to the
pope through Cardinal Gibbons and not through
the American minister at Rome, Mr.. ]. E. Stallo.
The reason is that Mr.. static has made himself
very obnoxious to Catholics by his acts at Rome,
and would not be personally received at the vati-
can. One act of Mr.. StalO Is mentioned as partic-
ularly objectionable. AT banquet by distin-
guished Roman gentleman recently, one OF the
cardinals or the Sacred college was among The
guests. Minister StallO was also invited When
he entered and saw the cardinal he created con-
sternation by announcing that he could not par
ticipate In any entertainment In Rome where
Catholic cergymen were among the guests, and
Immediately withdraw from the RESIDENCE.
