The situation in southeastern Europe,
where war clouds have a permanent abode,
resembles the anxieties Of the men who
operated mule batteries in the Indian
wars OF the west. 1t is a tradition OF the
service that owing to the instability OF
the animals back as an artillery base
no man could tell which way the gun
would shoot. Similarly, no mortal can tell
In what direction the shooting may begin
in Bulgaria. The situation is loaded with
possibilities OF trouble for the concert OF
the powers and the equilibrium of Europe,
so ricely balanced with buffer state, may
be upset by a stray shot. The region in
volved Is famous as a trouble breeder, re-
quiring an International straightjacket to
maintain a semblance of peace. AS the
powers involved are about to sit up with
the fractions patient. a brief outline Of
the trouble will help to a proper under
standing Of the dispatches.
Since the treaty Of Berlin In 1878, when
the results of the Russo-Turkish war were
determined by the powers, Bulgaria has
been an hereditary and constitutional mon
archy, under the suzeralnty of Turkey and
tributary to that state. Prior to the
Russo-Japanese war Bulgaria had been,

under Turkish rule. A revolt in 1876 against
the misrule and oppression OF the Turks,
led to the Bulgarian atrocities" as they
were termed-the Turkish measures OF sup
preston that shocked the civilized world
and gave Russia its excuse for declaring
war on Turkey.
The Bulgarians are ethnologically a
mixed race, made up of Slavic, Teutonic
and F1nnish.Tarta elements, the oldest
stock being apparently the Finnish. They
number Oncludlng the population OF east
ern Rumelta) about 100000 souls. Bull
garians proper make up about 100000 Of
this population, the remainder being COM
posed of Turks, Roumanians, Greeks, Gyp-
sizes, Jews and a scattering element of
eastern Europeans. The area Of the coun-
try is 24,3S0 squar miles-about one-third
the size of Nebraska, exclusive Of eastern
Rumelia, or southern Bulgaria, as 1t is
indifferently called. which adds 10, 100
square miles. making the area of the two
former provinces combined $3.50 uare

Bulgaria's sovereign. under the treaty of
Berlin, is elected by the people and con-
firmed by the porte, with the consent Of
the powers, the government being Chris
tian. Under these provisions Prince Alex
ander Of Battenburg was the head of the
country from 1879 TO 1886, when he was
forced. through Russian Vaccinations. to
abdicate. The present prince, who has. ac-
cording to press reports, now styled him
self GEAR of Bulgaria. was elected by
the unanimous vote OF the national assem-
bly, July 7. 1857.
Rrince Ferdinand is the youngest son OF
the late Prince OF Saxe-Coburg and Gotha,
and the late Princess Clementine Of Bour-
bon Orleans, daughter of King Louis Phil
lIppe. He was born February 26, 1861. In
1888 he married Marie Louise, eldest daugh-
ter of Duke Robert of Parma. She died
January 81, leaving four children, who are
now l~iving-the Crown Prince Boris. now
IA years old; Prince Cyril. now II years
old; Princess Eudoxie, now 10 years old,
and Princess Nadejda, now 3 years old.
Prince Ferdinand is not highly spoken of
by those familiar with his history. He is
alleged 70 be one of the most INSCRIPTIONS
l~ntriguers and plotters in Europe, and has
been charged with a gross breach Of faith
toward Alexander III. eEar OF Russia, In
having accepted the Bulgarian throne after
having given his word to the car that he
would not do so except with the cars
consent.

But the surprise came when the strike
Was declared off. The cid employees went
back to work on the Turkish side of the
border and everything was the same as
before. Not so in Bulgaria. The troops
kept possession Of the road and the gov
eminent announced that it did not intend
to give 1t up again. Europe was amazed;
Germany, in particular, was enraged. The
railway, though owned by the rurkish
government, was leased to the Oriental
Railroad company, bushels of whose securt-
ties are owned In Berlin. The act of Rul-
garia was denounced as robbery, a bril-
gandage, a violation of the treaty OF Ber-
lin, a menace TO the peace of Europe.
There was talk of coercion. 1t was limited
that Austria, as the agent Of the powers,
might combire with Turkey in Furnishing
the petty aggressor.
But Bulgaria shows no sign of weaken
ing. The government simply declared that,
even IL II were inclined to surrender the
railway, the Bulgarian people would not
allow It to do so. 1t declared again and
again that a return TO the old state Of
things was impossible. Its tone was con-
cilIatory. II would compensate the OrleD-
tai Railroad company for the property II
had taken; It might even compensate Tur-
key, but IL would not give up the road.
Everyone wondered where so much cour-
age came from.

The incidents which brought the situa-
ton to q crisis were trivial, One OF them,
indeed, seems rather to belong to the
realm of opera bouffe than to serious
politics. When the Young Turks had won
their triumph for popular rule the event
was celebrated at Cohstantinople with a
state banquet, at which the sultan pre-
sided. OF course, all the diplomats were
invited to it-that Is, all but one. With
singularity t~actless adherence to the letter
of the law, the managers of the affair
omitted from the list of guests a certain
J. s. .Guerhoff, who was the representa-
tive of Bulgaria at the sublime porte. with
the title Of diplomatic agent. M. Guerhoff
was indignant and asked for explanations.
why you're not an ambassador or a
minister or even a charge d'affaires," they
answered him. You're only an agent from
our subject province. Why should we in
vite you?" b
NJ. Guerhoff reported the matter to his
government at Sofia and was promptly re-
called. Nobody was sent in his place and
there was a breach Of diplomatic inter-
course between Turkey and Bulgaria ready
made to hand.
But this was not the only matter which
Bulgaria found available for purposes Of
quarreling. There was a strike on the
Orient railway, which operate iii part in
Turkey ard in part in Bulgarian territory.
Trains stopped running on both sides, Of
the border, An indefinite tieup seemed to
have begun. 1t was Bulgaria's opportunity.
Bulgarian trops promptly seized the east
ern Rumulian section of the railway-that
is to say, the section in Bulgarian terri
tory-and at once began operating it. This
was an obvious proceeding from a CONT
mental point of view. The same thing
might rave happened in Austria or Ger
many or france.

ONE MINUTE OF FREEDOM
 FOR JAN JANOFF POUREN

New York. Oct, 26-Jan yanoff Pouren, the Russian refugee, who has been in jail here many weeks await ing the outcome of procet ding5 brought by the Russian governmenL to have him extradited to Russia to answer charges of arson, attempted murder and burglary. had one minute of freedom today.
 Upon the receipt of a letter by United States Marshal Henkle from Assistant Secretary of State Ajee, stating that the state department had declined to issue a warrant for the surrender of Pouren to Russia, Pouren was discharged from custody. While he was thanking the marshal, he was re-arrested upon a new warrant by Judge Holt in the United States court upon application of counsel for the Russian government. The prisoner later will be arraigned before United States Commissioner Hitchcock. who has been substituted for Commission CT Shields in the second extradition proceedings.
 When Pouren was arraigned before Judge Holt in the United States court this afternoon his counsel moved to have the warrant vacated on the ground that the treaty between this country and Russia required that the Secretary of State issue a certificate before a warrant can be issued for the arrest of an accused person. He held that as no such certificate had ed on Pouren Counsel for the Rus sian government maintained that no certificate was necessary and con tended that the papers in the case were entirely regular. Judge Holt re- served decision.

Linehan' secretary and general manager or the Battle Creek Brcakfc st Food Company, Limited. manufactu- CTS of Egg -O-See' with general offices in Chicago, as re- ceiver of the property and business or the company.
 The action was taken Saturday quiet ly, on the application of B. s. Mccoy of Buffalo, N. r., manager Of the Buf- falo plant of the company. representing as stated ins the petition the interests involved.
 MT. Linohan at once furnished the required bond of $2O0.OOO Eecured by the illinois Surety Company.

 It was alleged in these charges that the governor was hostile to church people. President Roosevelt in his let ter, told the ministers that the charges referred to an incident of fiftesn months ago but that they were in- vestigated thoroughly at the time by the committee on foreign affairs of the Senate and by them pronounced base less, before the appointment of Mir. Post to his present position was con flrmed by the Senate. pr. !.
