Russian and Austrian Anrbas-
sailors Present Identical
Memoranda to Sultan.
MACEDONIAN BANDS ORGANIZED
Leaders Are Collecting and Equipping
Armies to Oppose Turkish Troops.
Gar Recommends Papers to Alb
stain from Attacks on the Sultan.

Constantinople, Feb. 23.-The Aus
trian and Russian ambassadors pre-
scented Saturday to the grand vizier
identical memoranda embodying the
demands for reforms in Macedonia.
They afterwards acquainted the for
eign minister of the step taken. This
course was adopted to give the pro-
ceedings semi-offieial character.
The chief proposal made in the
memoranda is the appointment of an in
spector general for three years with
ample powers to act independently
and to requisition troops in case OF
emergency. The plan also provides
for the reorganization of the germ
6armerie and police under European
instructors, for administrative and
financial reforms and for more equit-
able collection of taxes. These re
forms do not effect the sultan's preor-
ogatives or wound the religious sus-
capabilities Of the mussulmans.
Macedonian Bands Organized.
Vienna, Feb. 23.-It is reported that
the Macedonian leader, Boris Sarafoff,
has organized within the past fort

trated near the celebrate Ria monas-
terry 40 miles from Sofia, and are pre-
pairing to attack the town of Melnik
il the Turkish province Of Sores.
There is unconfrmed rumor that
the Albanians have attacked the
Roumanian consulate at Mitrovitsa,
Turkey, 90 miles northwest of Prish-
tina
st. Petersburg, Feb. 23.-The gov
eminent, in a secret circular sent to
the Press, calls attention to the deela-
ration published in the official Mess
enger, FEBRUARY Is, in which the news
papers are instructed to refrain from
publishing articles hostile to Turkey
IN connection with the Macedonia sit
uation. Yesterdays circular says that
the previous declaration clearly indi-
Gated the constant desire of the car
to promote peacefully and earnestly
reforms In Turkey, and it recommends
the papers to abstain from superfuous
attacks upon the sultan and the
Turkish government.
Another circular forbids the men

Persia.

Comptroller King Figures on Balance

Comptroller King Figures on Balance
on Jan. l, 1904
Comptroller Theo. F. King spent
Monday in figuring on what the
probable balance IN the Treasury
will be on Jan. l, 1904. and 20 an
American reporter stated late Mon
day afternoon that the balance on
that date would be about SITS, 600.
According to the Comptroller's esti-
mate, after all current expenses are
paid, the surplus which will go to
Z the school fund will be between
$25O,0O0 and $260,000, which will
mean about 80 or 80 cents per capita
to each scholar.
From the SITS, 900 balance which
Comptroller King anticipates on
January l will have to be deducted
current expenses, including un-
drawn special appropriations. jan
nary interest on the State debt and
the regular January school pro rata.
Interest saved on State bonds re-
tired will also be included, as this
money, under the law, must go into
the sinking fund. Up to date, the
amount accruing to the sinking
fund this year is $42,447.
The increase in the States pros
peritv in the past three years should
be source of qualification to every
citizen. On Jan. /, 1901, the bal
ance in the Treasury was only $685.
693.81; on Jan. l, 1902, it was $751;
.405.1 and on Jan. l, 1903, it was
1866, 1884. Now the Comptroller
estimates that the balance on Jan.
1, 1904, will be SITS, 900. The cash
balance at the close of business
Monday was 1896, 1878.
