LONDON. Mar. 3O-Berin advices state that
the murder Of the Bulgarian Minister Of
Finance is one Of the chief causes Of the
sudden furry among the officials Of the War
Office. and that il is looked upon as q serious
indication Of the gravest designs upon the
part Of Russia

tween the Foreign Office Of Berlin and
Vienna, and also Bucharest, and il is now
stated that the celebration of the twenty-ffth
anniversary of the accession Of King Charles Of
ROumania at Bucharest next month. will be
made the occasion Of an informal conference
between the powers Of the Triple Alliance.
The Kaisers both Of Germany and Austria
and the King of italy have been invited
rs guests 20 the celebration. Francs Joseph

patch of that CITY. VI. MulkurOh was Minis
ter Of War, sud enjoyed the entire confidence
of his brOther-in-law. the Premier. He went
TO Naples with a view Of recovering his health.
He was seized with fatal attack while out
riding in his carriage, and his body was en-
balmed and sent 10 Sofia.
The murder Of Batcheleh has tended TO
bring together again more closely Prince FER
dnand and NJ. Stambulof. the former having
become somewhat jealous of the absolutism
exercised by the Premier.
The Bulgarian reserves have been notified
10 be ready for service on call. as there Is a
strong apprehension that a hostile movement
on the part of Russia may be expected.
