The Gar processes to be very angry at
the assassination of Stambuloff and is
making much show of feeling. Neyerthe-
heless it is the prevailing opinion in
European capitals that thessassassination
was the result Of Russian intrigue if not
actually perpetrated by Russian agents
Stambuloff was the inveterate enemy of
Russia and was influential in a country
which Russia covets and which she Would
have seized long ago had she not been
deferred by the Efear of other European
powers But while refraining from ac-
tually taking possession of / the country
she has been careful for years that Russian
influence should remain in the ascendant
there. Prince Alexander was frightened
OF the throne by Russian threats Stam-
boif could not be frightened, ,aerefore it
was necessary to kill him. The interest
ing question now is what will be the fate
OF Prince Ferdinand. When he first he
came the ruler of Bulgaria he was anti
russian and for a time Stambuloff was
his prime minister. But pressure was nut
upon him, and he soon succumbed tn
russian influence, Stambuloff was dis
missed, and there is much circumstantial
evidence to prove that Ferdinand was
knowing 30 the plot that put Stambuloff
out of the way. Whether Russia will
want him on the throne of Bulgaria re-
mains to be seen, but the prevailing i'm
preston in Europe is that he will soon
find a reason for resigning, and that
Russia will seek to supply his place with
more valuable tool. for Ferdinand has
proved himself too weak to be depended
on in an emergency.
