SULTAN FEARS ALBANIANS.
NO CHECK ON THEIR BRUTALITY
IN MACEDONIA.

ten ton to the Albanian Attitude.
Special catls DsspateA TO THE sun.
LONDON. March 2s.-Western Europe
Is awakening from the complacency with
which 1t accepted the announcement OF the
Austro- Russian scheme a. palliative for
the Macedonian crisis. The situation on
the Turko- Bulgarian frontier Is becoming
steadily worse.
The Macedonian Bishops have just made
declarations that while they will welcome
the promised reforms, they have to face the
fact that the persecution OF Bulgarian In
habitants continues. They cite excuses
and acts Of INSTRUMENTATION committed by
redifs. notably at Kugreli. in consequence
Of which the battalion Of redifs stationed
there was transferred.
At Sclavo, In the Uskub district. where
the population IL half Bulgarian and half
Albanian, Eve recently enlisted Bulgarian
gendarmes were killed by the Bulgarians.
The despair Of the peasants Is such that
general rising IL inevitable.
The audience Of M. Zinovief, the Russian
Ambassador to Turkey. with the Sultan
yesterday was for the purpose Of calling
his attention to the hostile attitude OF the
Abanians toward reforms.
Andre Cheradame, the French traveller
and publicist, who recently returned from
Macedonia, says the Albanians are much
worse than the Turks.
They, moro than any existing nation,
retain the truculent, tyrannical manner
Of medieval days. The Sultan might
possibly repress the brutalities OF the Otto
mans. but his own safety would be at stake
II he dared to raise q finger against an
Albanian, for his own personal guards are
Albanians who are ever under the shadow
OF his own palace. They may commit
crime with impunity. Two years ago
Turkish Official was wantonly killed by one
Of tho officers Of the guard and no redress
was obtained.
Any repression OF the exactions Of the
Albanians In Macedonia would have an i'm
mediate reaction at the Yildiz Kiosk, and
Abdul Hamid remembers that most OF his
predecessors came to q violent end.
CoNsrANTTNoPLB, March 2s.-The Mace
DOMAIN insurgents have cut the telegraph
wires near Demirhissar. north OF Series.
A note addressed to the Sultan was found
fastened to q wire, In which the revolu-
tionary committees declare that unless
the Austro- Russian reforms are interpreted
In their broadest sense and the despatch Of
troops Immediately suspended they will
deliver the whole Of Macedonia TO blood and
hre.
SALoNIcA, March 2s.-An encounter Ia
reported to have taken place at Istib, on
the border OF Albania and Macedonia,
In which eighteen Bulgarians were killed.

anxious Swanton lives in Pomona and
is the publisher and editor Of the Pomona Re

arrange for the support OF the Review in the

Swantun failed IN the work cut out forrhin,
as bis delegation divided and Gage lost
Then Swanton was nominated as trustee Of
the State Normal School at San Diego and his
name was among those sent in by Gage dur
ing the closing days of his political career.
Now those who because they had the temerity
TO oppose Gage near his own home, were sub
Jected to the dlspleasuro of the Pomona jour
nalist, havo sharpened their knives to secure
Swtnton's scalp. Many letters have been
ceived from Los Angeles County to members
OF the Legislature from the southern end Of

confirmation. Acting upon these numerous re-
quests some of these members have inaugu-
rated a campaign against Swanton and they
say they have assurances that he Will not be

LEGISLATURE MAY NOT ACT.
Not Inclined to Take Up Matter of
Fire Protection at University.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRAMENTO,
Jan. Pit Is not likely that anything VIII
be done by the Legislature at this session to
render the buildings of the University of Cal
ifornia secure against fire. as the impression
prevails that that is a matter for the con-
sideration OF the Regents OF the university.
James Keuney chief OF the Berkeley fire
department. recently presented a report to
the Board OF Town Trustees stating that there
was a lack OF fire protection at the university.
The report stated among other things:
Three fires IN the university buildings dur
Ing the past three months bring this question
up before ns and we must take some action.
Our local fire department is entirely unit TO
try and fight any big fire at 1he university
and the only help could get would be
from Oakland six miles away, and il would
take that department an hour TO reach us IL
called All of the buildings are built with
any protection against fire. The three
brick buildings would burn as easily as the
wooden ones, for with the exception OF one
they have been standing for more than twenty
years. North Hall especially Is fire trap
and ought not to be used another. day"
Assemblyman Waste from Berkeley said to-
day that Ncrth Hall was without doubt a
dangerous fire trap He added that the four
teen-foot wide halls had been narrowed
IRE there might be a frightful loss of life.
The matter has been called to the atten-
tion Of the Regents" added Waste. and they
Will be required TO take suitable steps in
the matter
Engineer Boardman made report some time
ago that the facilities. far water pres
sure was concerned, were ample.
At a meeting of the Alameda County dele
cation held at the home of President Wheeler
Just previous to the meeting of the Legs-
lature the president reported that some in
cipient fires in the building had been put out
by the attaches and students.
The members of the Legislature believe that
the Regents should handle the matter ard
that the Legislature should not be called upon
TO interfere In the internal arrangements OF
the university. No request or application has
