A CHANGE OF DYNASTY EXPECTED AT BEL
GRADE-pRINCE FERDINAND'S LOAN.

GRADE-PRINCE FERDINANDS LOAN.
,vpoN AN OCCASIONAL coRREsroNDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
Vienna, October 3.
great change has taken place within the last
two weeks in the complicated situation when
has recently prevailed in the Balkan PENINSULA
and there has been readlustment Wh'c"
appears destined TO preserve the peace oil EUROPE
at any rate so far as the Eastern question IL
concerned For several decades Russia has aline'
at establishing her influence in Bulgaria whiie
Austria has devoted all her energies toward the
maintenance of her hold upon Servia Ne''her
has been successful For, in spite OF all RUSSIA
could do Bulgaria has severed every tie which
bound her TO the Muscovite Empire while oerN ID
sympathics aud interests have become aosoiu'eV
hostile TO Austria The recent eiecuohs 10 'ne
Servian Skuptchna and the Overwhelming Victory
Of the Radical party, which involves the ul'inia'e
overthrow of the ObrenOw1tch dynasty anu lhe
restoration to the throne OF the house Vi h'r"-
eeorrewitch have at length brought matters 10
an issue and il is understood that Wheh Irlhce
Bismarck meets the Gar at Berlin next week he
will do his best to secure an understanding with
prssia ON the basis of a recognition by the great
povers Of Prince Ferdinands sovereignty of Bull
caria and of the substitution of the karageorse-
witch dynasty for the Obrenowitch at Belgrade.
This arrangement cannot fail to find equal favor
both here and at St. Petersburg. For while, on
the one hand Prince Ferdinand is connected by the
closest ties OF relationship with the Imperial House
of llapsburg and is to all intents and purposes
an Austrian Prince and officer. Peter Karageorge-
witch besides beng persona gratissima' at
the Russian Court, has by the recent marriage of
bis wifc's sister to the Grand Duke Nicolas
Nic)aiwitch become a member of the Cars
family. Indeed within very short space of
time he will become still more closely connected

is known 20 be aflanced TO the Czarewitch.
Therefore. with btother.n-law of RusSia's future
Emperor on the throne at Belgrade and a brother
in-aw of the Austro-Hungarian Empress as
ereign Prince of Bulgaria. the Balkan difficulty
will disappear-at any rate for some time to cOne.
As soon as il was known both here and at
Berlin in which direction the Servian elections
were going a semi-oficial communication APP
peared in the Fremdenblatt" which is the recog
nized organ of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, recommending the Sublime Porte to recog-
nize Prince Ferdinand's sovereignty of Bugara,
and distinctly declaring that " all the other
Powers, and in particular Austro-Ilungary, would
Immediately give an approving response and fol-
low the Sultan's example in the matter" AT the
same time it was suddenly announced that the
negotiations between an American financial syndi
cate and the Sofia Government for a loan Of
slO,OO0OOO had been cancelled by Prince Fer
dinand. The latter had attempted in vain
months ago TO obtain the advance in question
at Vienna and Berlin, but had been frustrated
in his efforts by the objections put forward by
Primo, Bismarck and Count K9lnoly. 1t is
evident that these objections have now disap-
peared; for the Sofa Government is in urgent
need of ready money and would certainly not
have broken off negotiations with the American
syndicate at the very last moment unless II had
positive assurances of obtaining the cash in Ger
many and Austria. On the other hand, the
fnanciers both here and at Berlin would never
have consented TO risk their capital IN Bulgaria
unless they had received some definite assurances
from Bismarck and Kalnoky that Prince
Ferdnand's ruiz was secured. The German
Chancellor, in particular is most careful about
the investments of his countrymen abroad, his
Maternal interest in such matters having been
strildngiy illustrated by the prominent part which
he took in persuading the Berlin and Frankfort
bankers To get rid OF all their Russian IN gestmeats
eighteen months ago
The significance Of the overwhelming Radical
victory in Servia-lO2 Radicals having been elected
to the Skuptchina and only 3 Lberals-is 70 be
found in the fact that it involves the fan, not
only of the present Liberal Ministry. but also Of
the Regency, which is of the political texture
as the Cabinet At the time Of the composition
Of the Administration. it was attempted 10 sti1e
Radical opposition by confding the Department of
the Interior TO NJ Tauschanowicz of the leaders
CT the Radical party NJ Tauschanowicz is a
man who having successively failed both as
veterinary surgeon and as a tobacconist determined
as last resort 10 turn his attention TO politics
In 1883 he was implicated in the insurrecton
caused by Mlans pro-Austrian proclivities end WAS
captured and condemned to death Within a few
nf he mo for bic
sentence commuted into Of imprisonment
for life. During four years he lay chained TO the
floor Of one of the darkest and most foul dungeons
OF the Belgrade citadel, and when at length Milan
forced by the course Of political events
TO release him from prison, it found that
he had become afflicted with an incurabe and
painful malady caused by the severity Of his
treatment while under restraint. Under the cir
cumstances it was hardly TO be expected that he
could be imbued with feeIngs other than these
of the most intense hatred toward Milan and in
fact, toward the whole of the ObFenOwitch dynasty
He made the best use that he could of his office
as Minister of the Interior to secure Radical
victory and defeat of his Liberal colleagues al
the general election which has just taken place
Moreover, he spent three weeks during last July
under assumed name in this city, during which
time he was in constant and daily communication
with NJ. Matanovicz the Minister OF Finance of
Montenegro, who was at the same hotel Their
movements were closely watched by the Austrian
police, and 1t is well known that the restoration
of the Montenegrin Soveregn's son-in.law Peter
karageorgewitch, TO the Servian throne formed
enc OF their favonte topics of conversation.
The most intimate friend Of TauSchanowicz. and
the man whom he regards as his master and
chief Is the notorious NJ Patchitch. the recognized
leader of the Radical party in Servia He has
lust hppn elected several cOnSt ittonc;o. a..
Skuptchna, and viii undoubtedly assume either
the Premiership in the new Radical Cabinet now
being formed by TauSchanowicz or the prcsi-
dercy OF the Skuptchna, which would place him
in more advAnta geous position for the execution
