1t is believed in Bulgaria that the muir
der yesterday of NJ. BaItchetf. Bulgar-
ian minister of finance, is the opening
of game of secret intrigue, preceding
open conflict. The comforting by Presi-
dent CarnOt of the grand cross of the
Legion of Honor upon Baron De Mob

effusion of the alliance and of the en-
dearmentS exchanged between France
and Russia. The car to-day dec
grated NJ. BriOis, military attache
of the French legation, personally pre-
senting him with an order set with
brlliantS, and also giving him a rare
malachite vase and portrait of himself
and the czarina. NJ. Briois will shortly
return to Paris. He is fully conversant
with Russia's projects for the mobiliza-
ton of her forces, and upon his return
to Paris some scheme for simultaneous
action will be agreed upon by the
French war Office. 1t is for this reason
that the car has conferred upon him a
distinction never before accorded
military attache. According to the Co
lOgne Gazette, Maj. Moulin, who sue
ceedS NJ. Briois as
French Military Attache,
will continue to arrange details for the
mobilization. In an interview had with
Gen. Obroutcheu to-day by repre-
sentative of the ReichSbate, the general
declared that the unceaSng rapidity
of the Russian preparations will enable
the ear before the close of the present
year to abandon his attitude of peace
and to force any issue which he may
deem necessary to obtain his ends.
Under the headline, The Strategic
March of Russia Westward" the
ReichSbate details the concentrating
movements of the Russian troops can
