Clouds Looming Dark Over Balkan
States Once More.
London, Oct. 6. —Events which threat
en to change the political face of Eu
rope are crystallizing with lightning
like rapidity. Almost over night the
horizon of the near east, which seemed
gradually assuming a peaceful appear
ance. has become crowded with war
clouds.
News has reached 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 proclamation of Prince
Ferdinand, of the Independence of Bul
garia, which will include Roumelia,
taking for himself the title of czar.
The other is an announcement by
Austria Hungary of the practical an
nexation of the provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina as appanages of the
Austro Hungarian crown.
Either action will bo equivalent to
the tearing up of the treaty of Berlin,
while Prince Ferdinand's course seems
almost certain to precipitate a war be
tween Bulgaria and Turkey.
Before these possibilities the quar
rol of tho East Roumelian section of
the Orient railwav sinks into insignifi
eanee. Both armies are reported to be
quietly and swiftly mobilizing on the
1 orders. Bulgaria is said to be buying
up munitions and horses on an extensive
Scale.
The Bulgarians have faith in their
army, which has reached a high state
of efficiency, although it is perhaps
lacking in officers, and tho war for
which Bulgaria has long been suspected
of preparing could be fought with more
advantage to her now than when the
Turkish government has had time to
reorganize its forces, enervated by cor
ruption and neglect of the old regime.

Six Men Killed and Six Others Injured
Near Scappoose.
Portland, Oct. 2.—Six men killed
and six injured. That was the toll
claimed by a sudden shower of rain
which wet the tracks on a steep spur
of the Portland & Southwestern Lof^
ging railway, just as a construction
train was nearing the summit of a
lull at a point eight miles north and
west of Scappoose, early yesterday
afternoon.
Five men, in charge of the train
and crew, were on the locomotive.
These escaped. Twelve men were on
the one gravel car which was being
unshed uphill by the locomotive when
the runaway occurred. Not one of
these men got away unhurt. They
clung to tlie car as it swept back down
the hill and jumped the track at a
sharp curve Three of them were
killed outright, two more died while
being taken to Scappoose. and an
other died after being brought to the
Good Samaritan hospital at Portland.
None of the unfortunate 12 had
seemed really to understand their
danger until their car had leaped the
track and death and destruction were
in their midst. The locomotive went
around the curve easily. The car fol

momentum sloughed it aside. The
pin which held it to the locomotive
