Episcopal Missionary Council Passes
 Resolutions on Macedonia.

EplscopaI missionary council PaSSeS
 Resolutions on Macedonia.
 Washington. Oct. 2S.-By a unanimous vote the following resolutions condemn ing the Macedonian atrocities were adopted at the session tonight of the Missionary Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church:
 Resolved, That this council desires to be put on record as expressing it's horror and indignation at the wholesale atroci- ties that have been and are still being perpctrated upc4 our fellow Christians in the province of Macedonia, We offer them our profound sympathy in the fiery trials through which they are passing and we pray God in His mercy to send them deliverance. We would further express the hope that the moral influence of the government of this great republic may be thrown into the scale in favor of such reforms as may give to the Macedonian people the protection of law against in- justice and oppression. And where those that survive these terrible prosecutions are now perishing from disease. cold and hunger, we commend to all Christian peo- pie the prompt and energetic employment of whatever measures may contribute to the succor of this afflicted people. and especially such contributions as may re- lieve their sore necessities"
 Proposed changes in the Missionary Canon of the church was the subject for discussion at the evening session. Right Reverend Thomas F. Gailor. Bishop of Tennessee. and chairman of the commit tee at the general convention of 1901 to obtain the Good of the church on the whole subject of it's missionary work as proposed in the Canon." led the discussion and urged the adoption of the resolutions providing for the changing of the present missionary council into the Board of Mis- sons. thereby insuring an annual meet ing of the board
 At the morning session the discussion was chiefly regarding the methods of rais- ing money for the support of missions, several of the speakers taking exception to the present system. Bishop Graves of Laramie, declared that the appointment plan would eventually solve the problem of raising money.
 Further discussion of the subject was procluded by the action of the Secretary of the Board of Missions, Dr. Lloyd, who after the remarks of the Rev Dr. Alsop of Brooklyn declared the Board of Missions was not open to the criticisms that had been passed upon 1t.

MACHEN LACKED TACT
QUARRELLED WITH WINNIE
 AND HIS FALL FOLLOWED.
Had He Been Diplomatic Graft, Per
 haps, Would Still Flourish in
 v-7 the Postofiee. Depart n %. rnent.

Washington, Oct. 2S.--(SpeciaL IA post office official, who. for obvious reasons. does not wish his name published. to-day discussed the Bristow million word re- port and it's terrific arraignment of for mer First Assistant Postmaster General Perry Heath, with its numerous disclos- ures. touching the former superintendent of the rural free delivery.
 This official said: "I firmly believe that Machen's lack of diplomacy Is responsi- ble for all those postoflce revelations. He failed to keep friends with First Assist ant Wynne, and by insisting on having his way in a number of unimportant mat ters, finally gained for himself the lat ters enmity.
 "The quarrel set Wynne to looking into things, and gradually he discovered evil dences of crooked work in Machen's de- partment. His suspicious were also aroused as to what was going on in Beav- erss division, although nothing occurred to strain the pleasant relations between himself and the Brooklyn man.
 'I firmly believe that had Machen em- ployed more tact and continued in the good graces of Wynne, he would to-day be in his old place, with all his former power and influence"
 The statement made here is corrobora- tion of the view taken in this correspond ence at the beginning of the Postoffice Department sensation. The disclosures were born in a controversy between Ma chen and First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne. This developed into pub lie notorety as the contentious became more embittered. They were first pub 1ished in an evening paper here. and then at the instance of Postmaster General Payne, suppressed by the Republican pro- prietor of the paper.
 But the quarrel between Wynne and Machen had proceeded too far. Wynne intimated he would resign unless Machen got out. Beavers was incidentally drawn into 1t, but there was never any animus of Wynne against Beavers. Machen being the keystone of the deck of the graft institution, others had to come down. The entire coterie of higher officials in the department simply envied Machen' s growing power, and especially his in- f1uence with congressman.
 The fact which is familiar to every one of the postofflce inspectors who have been employed in these graft cases that the robbery of the government had been con- tinuous long before the advent of Ma chen and Wynne lends force enough to the conclusion that the graft has four ished always. while the grafters were good friends. and while there was har- mony in the Republican party in the Postoffice Department

C,Sba Into the Campaign.

Havana. Oct. 8.-Members of the gov ernment deny the Statement made by Joseph Chamberlain at Liverpool yester- day that Great Britain is losing its trade with Cuba. They point out that MT. Cardenas, the British Minister to Cuba. in a report shows estn in the imports of 1902 from Great Britain to Cuba. The government officials say they cannot understand MT. Chamberlain's assertion that Cuba had not respected British trade conditions. While 1t is expected that reciprocity between the Uni ed States and Cuba will adversely affect European trade to some extent. Cuban officials are of the opinion that the quickness of com munication will give the United States an advantage over European carriers in any event.
