MACEDONIAN PROBLEM
STAYS RUSSIA'S HAND
Recession From Aggressive Attitude
in Manchuria Explained.

LONDON, May although the situa-
tion in the Balkan peninsula has been
somewhat overshadowed in Importance
in the past week by the stand taken by
Russia in Manchuria. it is the belief in
official circles, both in London and Ber-
lin. that the Macedonian question will,
in the end prove the more difficult of
settlement of the two.
The apparent quiescence which affairs
in the Balkans have assumed is, it is
thought, merely the preparatory lull be-
fore the almost certain storm. Com
paratively little as yet has been heard
either directly or indirectly from the in
defatigable and indomitable Sarafoff-
Newspaper accounts of clashes in the
peninsula between soldiers of the porte
and agents of the Macedonian committee
have been almost wholly devoid of ref
erence to this leading spirit among the
revolutionary element.
Eyes on Sarafof.
None the less. however, the eyes of
ali the chancelleries of Europe vitality
interested in the outcome of the Balkan
problem are upon this same Sarafoff.
He it is who is the power behind the
Macedonian committee and through
which the committee acts, and it is in
him that the hope OF success in what is
now believed to be the inevitable and
probably final uprising against the porte
and the porte's methods in Europe lies.
The British cabinet, and, indeed, the
Russian and Austrian, also. estimate
sarafoff at his true weight in the coun
ellis OF the Macedonian committee.
From what can be learned it is the
general official opinion that Sarafoff is
laying his plans slowly and carefully
He knows the mighty power Of the Sui
tans army and of that part of it which
can be brought to bear in Macedonia the
soonest, and there is little doubt, in
London at least, that this astute revo-
lutionist intends no mere fash in the
pan such as occurred when Greece tried
its puny strength against the military
machine of Turkey.
Great Britain Pleased.
IN a sense, however, and strange and
unexpected as it may seem, Great Brit
ain welcomes, at least temporarily, the
disturbed and clouded state OF affairs in
Macedonia. II was this, il is Great
Britain's 1rm belief, that caused Russia
TO disarm criticism and probably to
stave off more active measures by re-
ceding from its aggressive attitude in
Manchuria Whether or not the great
Bears polite explanations to the United
States. and by Implication to Great
Britain and Japan. are to be counted is
mooted question.
Russia and Russian diplomacy have,
at least, never given Great Britain any
substantial ground for an answering
faith In either. Opinion, belief, and ira
dition as we'll mark the Muscovite gov
eminent as a fit subject for suspicion.
Great Britain and, 1t may be said, Japan
are on guard. The hope on this side of
the Atlantic is that the United States,
where tradition is OF another sort in re-
gard 10 Russia, will assume the same
attitude.

W. S. Shallenberger, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, and Captain Brooks.
superintendent OF foreign mails, are
daily consulting at the Postoffice De-
partment over the changes which are
expected TO be made in the existing pos
tai charges when the Universal Postal
Congress meets at Rome next year.
Each country has a pretty fair idea OF
what it will accept and what 1t will
grant when the congress meets, but
there is a great deal of international
correspondence In progress, and some
of the views now entertained may be IL
tered before the delegates assemble.
The principal change is expected to Re
in the amount charged one country by
another for the carrying of its mail.
The present rate is two francs a kilo-
gram, or about IS cents per pound. and
it is desired 10 have this reduced
Big Revenue for Small Countries.
The rate is fat; that is, a small coun-
try gets as much for carrying the mail
a short distance as q large country does
for carrying 1t a long way. England
Belgium, and Holland, because of their
geogra phical positions, carry enormous
quantities of foreign mail for short
distances, and the business is so profit
able to them 1t constitutes an impor-
tant item in their annual budget.
For this reason, 1t is thought thai
