from Europe that in case Austria is assailed by
Russia, Germany will aid her, and the result

recognize Prince Alexander and his Sobranje,
or Legislature. Meantime, the cheeky young
Alexander holds the key of the situation and
pursues the even tenor of his way in his princi-
patty, and he has even gained the approval of
the Sultan by his course in mildly ignoring any
right of Russia to interfere with his sover-

publication of the forged documents sent him
as to the attitude of Germany toward him,
which came so near precipitating war between
the two countries, and this is regarded as a
favorable indication of peaceful intentions.
