PRINCE LEAVES SOFIA.
Conflicting AdUices Regarding Re
rOH IN BULGARIA.

Belgrade, July 24--Prince Ferdinand of Bull
garia accompanied by his children, passed
through this city at o'clock this morning on
his way to Vienna.
Vienna, July 24.-The reports that a. revolution
has broken out iii Bulgaria and that Prince
Ferdinand has fed are semi-oficially charac-
terized here as unfounded. II is explained that
July 26 is the anniversary of the death of Prince
Ferdinand's father. and that the object of his
present journey is to visit the grave at Coburg,
as he is accustomed to do each year.
The Bulgarian agent in Vienna said this af-
ternoon:
The story published by the "Stampa" and
other Belgrade papers is a malevolent political
trick. designed TO compromise Bulgaria. and her
Prince and to direct public attention from the
present conditions in Servia.
Berlin, July MISUNDERSTANDING the semi
official denial that Prince Ferdnand's departure
from Sofia amounts to a flight, the ''Vossische
Zeitung" which gets we'll authenticated private
information from Bulgaria, says it believes that
the rumors Of the Princes flight have some
basis. and the paper regards it as probable that
he has left the country till the existing excite
nent subsidies.
The "Vossische Zeitung'' to-day prints dis
patch from Sofia saying that it is openly as
serted there that attempt against Prince
Ferdinands throne is not impossible Servia's
example having had a profound influence on the
Princes enemies.

JAPAN'S POLICY TO WAIT.
VII FOlIO7C Great Britdin's 4dUice
an Regard to Russia.

London. July 24.-Japan has decided to OBJ
serve the policy of waiting and watching Rus
sia advocated by Great Britain In the mean
time she will urge China to carry out the as
surances given to the United States respecting
Manchuria, and will endeavor to obtain the
opening OF additional ports.
At the japanese legation here the following
statement was made by official:
I can assure you hat the talk of war between
Russia and Japan is an invention. Japan has
not the least intention of taking that course
She proposes to wait and maintain her attitude
of watchfulneSs. Japan and America are acting
the same lines and it would be difficult for
any other power to withstand the pressure they
and Great Britain could apply.
It is said that Japan intends to do nothing
till October. when the final evacuation Of Man
churia must occur The failure of Russia to
withdraw from Manchuria would be followed by
a serious move the part of Japan.
The Russian embassy here regrets the con-
fusion which has arisen in consequence of the
publication of the report that Prince Ching,
head OF the Chinese Foreign Office, had written
to Minister Conger. refusing TO open ports in
Manchuria The Russian officials believe with
Washington that the note was sent before China
gave her assurances, and they asserted posi-
lively that Russia intends to carry out to the
letter the assurances she has given, and that
she will not interpose obstacles in the way Of
dispatch to Reuters Telegram Company
from St. Petersburg, dated July 20. says:
The attitude of Japan and the warlike tone of
the majority of the japanese press have at
tracted much attention in official circles here. II
Is declared by the best informed people that
there is no likelihood of war. certainly not upon
Russia's initiative. II is stated that Russia has
every motive for desiring peace, chiefly for
financial reasons, with which is included a de
sire for extensive domestic reforms, which the
government considers TO be the most efficacious
manner OF dsarmng internal discomfort and
nipping the revolutionary propaganda in the
bud
1t is believed to be impossible, from the Rus
sian position, for Japan TO embark in a contest
with Russia singlehanded. and it is not thought
she will secure the material support of Great
Britain or the United States. Nevertheless, Rus
sia is taking every precaution 20 strengthen her
military and naval position in the Orient, be-
lieving this 30 be the surest means of discourag-
ing Japanese aggression.
NJ LeSsars Port Arthur conference is said TO
have dealt chiefly with these measures though
they declared to be entirely precautionary,
being the thing furthest from the wishes OF
the Russian Government.

Decision in House of Lords That Son by Later
Marriage Is Heir to Poulett Estates.

against the claim Of William Turnour Thomas
Poulett styling himself Viscount Hinton. the
former organ grinder in the streets of London.
to the earldom of Pouett. and in favor of the
late earls son by later marriage.
The whole case turned on the question OF the
legitimacy Of the claimant. whose testimony and
also that of his witnesses tended TO show that
the late earl acknowledged him as his son by HE
marriage with Elizabeth Lavinia Newman.
whom he married in 1S49 It was not denied
that Miss Newman, prior to the marriage. had
lived with an officer. Captain Granville The
claimant was horn a few months after her mar
riage 70 The earl II was alleged that the birth
was premature, which supported by medical
testimony
The defence denied the acknowledgment by
the late earl of the claimant as his son, and as
serted that on account OF the time the earl had
known Miss Newman prior to their marriage it
was impossible for the claimant TO be his son.
The court decided tnat title TO the property
was not vested in the claimant. but in the earls
son. William John Lydston Poulett, who is still
& minor.
