PEACE IN THE BALKANS.
The Powers to Take Charge and Main.
ls taio nrrer

The Powers to Take Charge and Main.
tain Order.
London, Dec. Sit looks as II the
Balkan question, which for years has.
been the bette noir Of Europe, is about
to be settled for good Negotiations
were begun by the powers yesterday,
which are almost sure to result in an
international admins alton for Mace
donia along the lines observed in the
present government OF the Island Of
Crete.
In order to prevent another Mace
DOMAIN uprising in the spring, attended
by unspeakable horrors and the dan-
ger Of war between Turkey and Bul-
garia, as consequence, Russia and
Austria have proposed to the other
powers that immediate steps be taken
to put into operation plan which in
its general outlines resembles that now
enforced in Crete.
This proposal Is the result OF the
acceptance in principle by the sultan
three days ago, the Russo-Austrfan
note concerning reforms in Macedonia,
which was submitted to the porte at
ter the recent conference between
Gear Nicholas and Emperor Francis
Joseph.
To what extent each power will par
ticipate in the organization of an in
ternal gendarmer.e, to be formed for
the preservation Of order, and which
power will be placed in supreme COM
mand of the gendarmerie. as well az
other details, must be settled by the
negotiations between the powers.
This proposal of the two powers dis
sipates the apprehension which has
prevailed in diplomatic circles on the
continent that Russia and Austria
were arranging a settlement Of the
Macedonian question In way to in
sure their own interest.
It Is believed the powers will this
time unite in the appointment Of a
Christian governor Of Macedonia.
While it is intended that the Christians
shall be protected. there is also a deter
mination that. equal protection shall be
accorded the Mussulmans. All the
powers concerneda are anxious to settle
the difficulties In the Balkans SO that
they can no longer menace the peace
of Europe.
II Is believed that results identical
with those obtained in Crete are likely
to follow from the enforcement OF a,
similar policy in Macedonia At first
a large force was sent to Crete. but at
present there are not more than 1900
men there. representing the govern
ments Of Great Britain, France, Russia.
and Italy.
How the Russo-Austrian proposal
will be received by the powers is not
known. as Its presentation only occur
red yesterday. It 10 thought, however.
that 1t will be acceptable to France,
Italy and Great Britain, but It Is nke-
ly to be opposed by Germany.
(. Though this proposed action will be
another step towards the separation OF
Macedonia and Turkey, there is noth-
ing In the proposal to indicate that the
powers have any intention OF weaken
ing Turkish ownership Of the territory.
AS the sultan accepted the principle
Of the Russo-Austrian note, It follows
as natural consequence that he will
not be likely to oppose the enforcement
of the reforms which Mat note contem.
