Berlin, July 2S.-Prince Ferdinand has
left Carlsbad and Joined his mother and
his wife at Coburg.o stsnsibly to assist
In the ceremonies In memory OF his IA
ther, who died July &c, 1881 Prince Au-
gust, OF Saxe-Coburg, and other men,
bers Of the Coburg and Bourboun-Or-
leans families. Joined the group on Fri
day. and the meeting was. as a matter
Of fact, a family consultation upon the
question OF Ferdinands retirement
from the Bulgarian throne In favor Of
HIS son Boris. who is now year-and-a-
halfold. Princess Clementine, Ferdin-
and's mother, whose money and pluck
havbe persistently backed her son in
his requirement and retention Of the
throne wants him to remain In SOfiac at
any risk, and apparently her counsel
was needed and her propositions ac-
cepted. According to telegraphic ad-
vices received from Coburg yesterday.
Prince Ferdinand will return to Carls-
bad to complete his course Of the
waters, after which he will go to Vi
emma and latcer to Schwarzau to Join
his wife and son. passing q few nights
with them before starting for Sofia.
Princess Marie-Louise with the young
Prince Boris will not venture to go to
Sofia until things have quieted down.
but will remain at Schwartzau until
Ferdinand thinks It safe for them to
20 to Bulgaria. Carlsbad gossip has 1t
that Ferdinand Is very respondent and
tells his intimates that he feels certain
that he will meet an early and violent
death.
In regard to Russia's recognition OF
Prince Ferdinand the Pesther Lloyd,
the Hungarian official organ, declared
explicitly that such action on the part
Of Russia would by no possibility suf-
fee to give him status with the other
powers, and calls attention to the fact
that the treaty Of Berlin debars Russia
from exercising any preponderating in
fiuence in Bulgaria. A story has been
going the rounds OF the Austrian pa
pers which. whether true or not, gives
very clear idea of the feeling against
Prince Ferdinand, which pervides Aus
tria. 1t Is asserted that Prince Ferdin-
and recently sent a large order to the
wine merchant in Pesth, who has long
supplied the princes cellar with Hun
garian wines. and requested that the
shipment be made Immediately. The
merchant at once notified the Bua-
garian master of the household,
through whom the order was sent, that
he refused to have any further deal
ings with the man who was most guilty
of the murder Of Stambuloff.
