 LONDON, April GA discordant note has been sounded from one of the Balkan States and careful students of European politics profess to see in it possibilities of Euro pean war that would bring Russia and the Triple Alliance into the field against each other, and involve one or more of the smaller powers. The resignation of the Roumanian Ministry has significance that is of great importance in regard to this pos sible war.
 The reason of their resignation is that they do not approve the act of King Charles in proclaiming his nephew, Prince Ferdi- hand, his heir. Russia spoke some days ago, ard condemned the Kings action, and as the Roumaniau Ministery are Russo philes to man they have obediently fol- lowed their Russian masters lead and con- mand, after proper time has been given for the resembling of the obnoxious procla- nation.
 The threat Eussla uttered after Milan's abdicatiou from Servia, politicians believe to De no idle one, and many think that the Northern bear is now making ready to put into effect the words; ''Alexander of Bull garla was the first to go, Milan of Servia was second and Charles of Roumania will come next"
 King Charles is Hohenzollern and has no love for Russia. His choice of his nephew Ferdinand for his success sor is especially offensive to Russia, as Ferdlnand is also a Russo -phobe and an officer in the Austrian army The ten dencies, both of Charles and his Crown Prince, are towards Austria, and the latter country would feel it necessary to assist Roumania in struggle against Russia, and its action would engage the other members of the Triple Alliance.
 The resigning of his Ministry is a warn Ing to King Charles, which, if he does not heed, will be but the precursor of a more definite notice from Russia.
 
 The feud between the Birmingham Tories and the Unionists becomes more bitter daily. After an intellectual attempt to se- cure harmony Mir. Albert Bright son of the late John Bright, and the Unionist candi. date for the vacant seat, took his departure last evening for Italy, where he will remain until the election is over. This display of indifference or. the part of the candidate, who was brought forward by the Unionists, to the exclusion of a Conservative solely be- cause he was the son of his father, will keep a large number of Tories from the polls and likewise induce many Unionists to stay at home The Gladstonians, mean while, are doing excellent preliminary work and it Is not only possible but quite prob able that the Central Division will be represented by an out-and out Liberal.
  In the House of Commons last evening MT. James A. Picton, memb fer Leices- ter, moved that commission be appointed to inquire into the oper atiOn of the compul- sorry vaccination acts. MT. Picton con tended that vaccination was not certain preventive of smallpox, while it undoubt- edly spread other diseases. Mir Charles T. Ritchie, President of the Local Govern ment board, announced that the Govern. ment would assent to the appointment of such commission, believing that inquiry would result in dispelling all doubts as to the value of vaccination. General Boulanger has issued a mani festo in which he says that in a robust sense the French electors will know how to deal with falsehoods and islanders. The Government, he declares, has extorted from an infatuated Parliament consent to prosecute him before a court composed of his political enemies, not judges The crimes imputed to him were we'll known when he was appointed Minister of War and therefore his colleagues in the Ministry are equally guilty with himself Nothing. he concludes, will turn him from the adyo- cacy of an honest Republic and the legal exercise of universal suffrage.
 ~x% The French Government has decided to prosecute Count Dillon and Henry Roche fort on the same charges as those preferred against Gen. Boulanger. Both gentlemen are now with the Gen. eral at Brussels. They say that the Government has en- tered upon wholesale prescription of the | leaders of the national party and the latter ca n expect neither justice nor mercy. It is asserted that the police made vis,t. to the residences of M. Rochefort and | Count Dillon for the purpose of searching for documentary evidence to be used ] against the gentlemen in their coming pre- ecution for connection with Boulangism.
 The story of the murder of bailiff Mullan at Coleraine, County Londonderry, is abso- lutely untrue. The report was widely cir culated that he was shot by Leaguers be-
  cause of his taking charge of farm from which the tenant had been evicted. It Is true that he was in charge of boycotted farm, but it is also true that he committed suicide while suffering from the effects of | delirium tremens, instead of being murder l ed by enemies of coercion.
 The high state of the water of the river l Vtstula continues. At no point has the water receded during the last week and large numbers of houses have been under l mined and wrecked by the rapid current At Bohnsack, Prussian Poland, several buildings fell into the river and some of their occupants were drowned, while otheru were rescued with great difficulty and con- veyed to the hospital seriously injured. Tho damage, direct and indirect, Is yer, heavy.
 It is .propo d by the leading telephone managers to consolidate the three leading telephone companies of the Kingdom into one organization and thus connect all tho towns using telephones thrugh one system of trunk lines. The perfection of this scheme would bring the principal towns in the North of Ireland into the line of direct
