the settlement which originated in Berlin
or Paris is not known, nor does 1t make
much difference, but the French Govern
ment has repudiated the Debats article
and acknowledged the right OF Germany
to deal with Morocco in her own way,
even to the extent of occupying part OF her
territory. This is a complete knuckle-
down for France, and it is conceded that
no sharper or more expeditions diplomatic
incident has transpired in recent years
than that conducted on the part of Ger
many.
The Cologne Gazette's advices from Tan
gier say that the Sultan of Morocco is
lying seriously i'll at Fec, and that there is
small chance that the demands of Ger
many will be met for a long time to come.
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria continues
to remain at Carlsbad. He is constantly
guarded by large suite, among whom are
a number of Russian secret police. He
tells his adherents almost daily that 1t is
his intention to start for Sofia immedi-
ately, but he does not start. He says the
same thing to the visitors he receives at
his house, the Villa Theresa. in the Eng
lish quarter. The villa is among num-
Der of large trees, and is one OF the pref
test places in Carlsbad. The gardens and
the park are alive with Russian and Bull
garian detectives, who are easily spotted
inside and outside of the walls surround
ing the place.
From the time of Ferdinand's arrival in
Carlsbad, on July 10, observant visitors
felt that something startling was lmpend-
ing. 1t was stated in these dispatches
only last week that his absence from Bull
garia meant that some plot was about to
be executed, but his conduct itself ex-
cited speculation. On his previous visits
to Carlsbad his time was spent on the
promenades, at the theaters and IN lndul-
gence in whatever gayety there was going.
Upon this occasion he has been almost in
visible. He was never seen on the prone
nades, and he did not go the springs as he
always did before. The only times he was
known to 60 out was early in the morn
ing, when he would go to cafe in the
suburbs and sit there moodily, surrounded
by his suite. His every action and atti-
tude suggested that he was awaiting news
of some event.
After the murder of ex-Premier SIAM
buloff his behavior suddenly and ostenta-
tiously changed. As the reports received
linked him with the crime and attributed
his unwonted seclusion to his fear that he
would be assassinated he has made his re-
appearance in public every day since then.
He walks along the Sprudel promenade
and shows himself at the Cafe Asthof and
in the public reading-room of the cafe and
elsewhere, always walking with quick,
nervous step, with his detectives close be-
hind him. A reporter at Carlsbad, in de-
scribing his conduct, says:
1T was extremely offensive to public
feeling to see him affecting merriment
time his secretary was sending the tele-
grams to the press telling how Prince
Ferdinand was stfiken with grief and hor-
ror over the Stambuloff tragedy"
The friends of Prince Ferdinand indig-
nantly deny the charge of cowardice which
has been generally leveled at him, and as
sert that he simply means to take care of
his precious life. He is aware that the
Panitz gang, meaning the friends of that
officer, who believe that he was unjustly
put to death, are on his track, and is also
suspicious of others, even the men who
were leagued with him against Stambuloff.
1t is reported that Chancellor Won Ho-
henlohe has instructed the agent at Sofia
to inform the Bulgarian Minister of For
eign Affairs that diplomatic relations be-
tween Germany and Bulgaria will cease if
an honest attempt is not made to punish
the criminals concerned in Stambuloffs
murder. In the meanwhile all of the dip

The delay of the Empress in going to
Sassnitz is due to the advice of her physi-
clan, who tells her that although her health
is much better she must be extremely care
full of herself for some time TO come, and
for the present must not exert herself even
in the way of taking light exercise. She
will start for Sassnitz in time to meet the
Emperor on his return from Sweden.
The young Crown Prince and his brother
Prince Eitel Frederick are making tour

The Prince of Wales is coming to Baden
to attend the races as the guest of Prince
Fuerstenberg. The Crown Prince of
Greece, who is now the guest of ex-Em-
press Frederick of Kronberg, Prince
George of Prussia, and host of German
and foreign aristocrats, are expected to be
present at the Baden races.
The Chinese Government is placing large
contracts for rifles with German firms.
China is also negotiating for a number of
large Krupp guns with a view of discard
ing her heavy British ordnance, as it
proved less handy working than the Ger
man guns. The Chinese envoy has OBJ
tanned the consent of the War Office to en-
gage 100 German officers to drill the reor-
ganized Chinese army.
DR.. Haas, who is member of the Reich
stag for Metz, has fixed his residence in
Nancy with the object of establishing the
practice of medicine there. In consequence
of this change OF residence, he has been
informed that he will not be allowed to sit
in the Reichstag. The doctor is noto-
riously favorable to France, and this has
much to do with this decision.
