Tn RuIgaria and Roumnnia Feeling
 Becomes More Intense.
 Sofia, Bulgaria. Aug. l6.--The anti Greek movement in Roumania and es- pecially in Bulgaria is daily assuming greater proportions and threatens to become serious danger to peace.
 The Bulgarian government. 1t ap- pears. wifi be forced to take excep- tional measures to terminate the dis turbances which are due to the anti Greek feeling with which the entire population of the principality IS im- bued.
 The cause of this feeling is the his torica1 competition between Greece and Bulgaria for domination in the ened and stimulated by their rivalry in Macedonia, rivalry which 1t Is al- legged has been artifciallv encouraged by the Turkish authorities and par ticulariy by the atrocities of the Greek bands. It is asserted that patriarchal church at Constautinopie has ncted as an accomplice of these bands with the on of to en tSe church and that the propaganda has been carried out in Bulgaria by the organs of the patriarchal church which openly raised subscriptions for the benefit of the Greek patriotic societies and also sought to infame the Bull garian national spirit.
 The patriarch of Constantinople nom- mated the Greek bishop at varna in manner which was regarded by Bull garians as insulting and humiliating and the Bulgarian authorities refused to permit the bishop. to. occupy the see without the approval of the Bulgarian government.
 The incident aroused intense public feeling and resulted in attacks on the Greek church, school and monastery which were followed by scenes Of dis order in every district possessing pat riarchial religious establishments
 The trouble at Anchialos arose from a meeting called to protest against the action of the Greek bands in Mace- donia.
 The Greeks armed themselves under the leadership of the bishop and at tackled the peasants coming in 10 at- tend a meeting. The peasants burned most of the town and numbers were killed and wounded in the fighting which ensued. It Is feared that there will be a renewal of the outbreak at Philipopolis on Sunday next August 19, for which date another anti-Greek meeting has been called

 ance to Edwards Visit.
 London, Aug. 16.--'Whiie not pre- tending to know what passed at the conference at Friedrichshof," said an official of the Foreign Office today, you can say that too much significance must not be attached to the presence of Sir Charles Hardinge, the permanent Under Secretary of the Foreign Ofice
 King Edward. on every trip he has made on the continent for the purpose of meeting a foreign sovereign, has been accompanied by Sir Charles, and he is now considered to be a necessary member of the kings party on such occasions. Again 1t must be remem- bered that Sir Charles Is not a mem her of the Cabinet and only Cabinet Minister can agree to anything in be- half of the Government
 This does not. of course, prevent the representatives of two foreign of- fees from discussing questions in which their respective countries are inter ested."
 The friendly attitude which the French show towards the conference Is explained by the fact that France was fully informed in regard to the intention of the meeting before King Edward decided to meet Emperor Will liam.

 Tonight Brindamour will escape from a packing box strongly made and see cured with spikes and screws without breaking the box. It seems impossi- ble. but Brindapaour says he will do it.. and after witnessing his performance, no doubt is to be cast upon his state- ments.
