Prince Ferdinand to the Countess OF Flan-
ders, under date Of September 16. He
says that in spite of the open war that
Germany is urging against him he receives
assurances every few days from German
agents that Bismark's policy may change
openly in the, most favorable manner, Ger
many's attitude depending upon the issue
@. a grave question with Russia. In q fourth
letter, Ferdinand informs the countess
that, regarding communication he has
received from Berlin, the fate OF Bulgaria
has been discussed at meetings between
Bismarck, Kalnoky and Crispi and that
the result was favorable TO Bulgaria. The
central powers, he says, hope that Bulgaria
will give no occasion 10 the powers to mod
iiy their friendly attitude.
Prince Ferdinand denies that any oil
documents are authentic. He says there
was never any correspondence between
him and the Countess OF Flanders. The
iorgers remain undetectod.
The Reichsdnzeiger says: "Thc sole pur-
pose OF the forgeries was TO SOW distrust
among the powers. If the statements OF
the fictitious letters were well founded the
German policy might have been reproached
with duplicity and dishonesty, rs the Ger
man government has always regarded and
still regards Fcrdinand's venture as yio-
lation OF tho treaties. The appearance Of
the documents does not add much 10 what
is already known OF their contents. The
statement that the fabricators have not
been discovered is untrue. The Gar
knows whence the iorgcries proceeded, but
refuses to punish the perpetrators"
THE CROWN PRINCE.
The reports concerning the crown
princes condition present the best aspect
possible. Since Bismarck renewed the
pressure for regency no adverse reports
regarding the prince have been permitted.
The opinion OF the Berlin experts that the
disease is n cancer has not altered, and
DR.. Mackenzie's latest diagnosis failed to
dispcthcl belief that an ultimate cure is
impossible. Prince Bismarcks appeal
TO Crown Prince Frederick William
to consent 10 the establishment Of
n regency, although repused, will
now be renewed in view OF the danger OF
an outbreak Of war. The best men in POI
litical and military circles feel henecessity
OF there being In the event of waran active
working regent, competent TO perform all
political duties and in touch with the
army. IL is impossible for the crown
princess to act MS regent. Official circles in
discussing the question Of the regency put
the princess entirely out Of consideration.
Prince William is now in prime health.
His old ailments have disappeared and
he is showing himself an energetic worker
for his coming trust OF Germany. Only q
small court party will continue TO oppose a
regency i the crown prince remains an in
valid. The new year WIS ushered in with
a frost and recurring snow storms. Sleigh
ing and skating have been in full swing
here since Wednesday. Snow drifts have
delayed trains throughout Germany and
Austria for two days The lines are now
ircer but souihwards and westwards OF
Pcsth there is still no communication.
Vienna kilograms report snow in Hun
gary TO depth Of twelve feet Tho storms
have been the severost ever experienced.
