War CLOUD LOOMS UP
ON EUROPEAN HORIZON,
Ferdinand Is About to Declare |ndepen
dence Of Bulgaria. Austria After
Bosnia and Herzegovina.

London, Oct 4.-Events which
threaten to change the political face
of Europe are crystaliZing with light
ming rapidty. Almost over night the
horiZan Of the Near East which SEEM
ed gradually to be assuming a peace
full appearance has become crowded
with war clouds
News reaches here from several
sources that two definite strokes are
impending which cannot fail to bring
matters to a crisis and perhaps force
an Immediate war one is the prucla-
rat:on by Prince Ferdinand of the in
dependence Of bulgaria which will in
Glade Kumana. taking for himself the
title of Car" The other is an an
nuuncement by Austrn- Hungary of the
practical annexation of the provinces
OF Bosnia and Herzegovina as appan-
ages Of the Austro Hungarian crown.
Either action will be equivalent to
the tearing up of the treaty of Ber
lin. while Prince Ferdinand's course
seems almost certain to precipitate q
war between Bulgaria and Turkey
Therefore with these possibilities the
quarrel over the East Rumania sec
ton Of the Orient Railway sinks into
insisnificance. Eoth armies are report
ed To be quietly and swiftly mohiliZ-
| ing near the borders.
| The Bulsarians have faith in their
army which has reached a high state
| of efficiency. although it is perhaps
| lacking in officers ana the war for
| which Bulgaria has long been suspect
| ed Of preparing could be fought with
| moro advantag, for her now than when
| the new Turkish government had time
to reorganize its forces.
| The emperor of Austria, it is under
stood, has dispatched letter to the
| Pr, sident of France setting forth his
| intentions regarding Bosnia and Her
| zeyovnia. although the contents of the
| letter are kept secret, and he is send

| 1t seems incredible that Emperor
| Francis Joseph, who always has been
| Il Scrupulous observer of forms, should

explanation is that the letter was not
| intended for delivery until Tuesday,
when identical notes would be pre-

| While Austria's action with regard
| to the two provinces may not tech
nically be called annexation, it is be-
| lievcd it will amount to that, whatever
| it may be called. Apparently the En-
! pcror is determined that the destiny of

Sidney, Me, Oct. 4-(Specia).-T
town of Sidney had day off Satur-
day and everybody for the time being
has laid household and other cares

which the town has been holding for
the past % years, and which is always
the signal for the getting together of
the townspeorle and the inviting in of
those from the neighboring cities and
towns for the sake of mutual enjoy
ment.
Sidney has no park in which to hold
an event of the kind. and so the fair is
held by the roadside out in front of the
Grange hail. but that makes little diff
ference and the Sidney fair has gain
ed q reputation that places it by itself
in the line Of agricultural exhibitions,
and always calls out a crowd. And
yesterday was no exception. The morn
ing air was tinctured with suggestions
of fall weather. but the sky wa clear

The exhibition was about on a par

of course little better. The show did
rot compare with that at Lewiston in
size but the exhibits made up in quail

were good to look upon. Sidney IS
