WAR IN TURKEY
 SEEMS CERTAIN
(continued from First Pase)

 there has been an exchange of views be- tween the powers regarding the situa- ton in Macedonia and that apparently the powers have decided to support Aus trie and Russia in efforts to re-establish peace. Reports previously received here from Italian consuls in the Balkans pre- dicted the present revival of the insur- rection which the consuls considered to be almost entirely the work of Boris Sar- afoff, the Macedonian agitator, who Is now in command of the insurgents, 1t be- ing pointed out that the attitude of the Bulgarian government has been correct since receiving Russia's admonition. The plan of Sarafoff as understood here is to bring about European intervention by provoking the Turks to a massacre and the murder of the Russian consul at Mo nastir, M. Rostkovski. considered here to have played into the hands of the revo- lutionists in this respect. M. Rostkovsld Is reported here as-having been a very arrogant official, who upon occasions boxed the ears of soldiers and police whose conduct displeased him.

MEXICO ANDM0XEY QUESTION
THEIR MONETARY COMMISSION
Frs FILED THEIR REPORT.
They Say Gold and Silver az a FIxity
Of International Exchange Are Alb.
soluteIy Disassociated-A Plan to
Fix Value Of Gold by Different Gov.
-ernments Is Presented.

Mexico City, Sept. 27.-The report
Of Mexico's monetary commissioners
sent aboard is now published. Among
the more Immediately interested points
and suggestions are the following:
In Russia, and in England especially,
the immediate establishment of gold
standard in China is regarded as al.
most impracticable.
In the monetary system that is
recommended for the purpose of bring
ing about fixity of international ex-
change, the price in gold of bar silver
and the value in gold of silver money
are absolutely disassociated. The
former may fluctuate in the market,
whereas silver money will always have
fixed value in gold, hence the sta
bility of international exchange. This
fixed value in gold will be maintained
by the governments in mis- manner:
1. BY the closing of the minis to the
free coinage of silver.
2. By the fixing Of ratio between
gold and silver by the governments.
8. By the legal tender character
Of the currency for the payment and
settlement of contracts of all kinds.
4. BY reason of its being the only
money in which duties and taxes will
be paid, as it is supposed that there
will be no gold in circulation.
s. BY limitation Of the quantity OF
silver money coined exclusively for the
interior currency of each country.
6. BY the creation of reserve funds
in gold in those countries in which
the foregoing conditions are not suf
ficient to maintain the stability of in.
ternational exchange.
