MACEDONIAN SITUATION.
1t Is Believed Russia and Austria
Can Manage 1t.


Can Manage 1t,
Berlin, April 1S.-A dispatch from ST.
Petersburg of semi-official origin, pub
lished in the Cologne Gazette to-day,
says:
THE Russian government is convinc-
ed that acting in conjunction with Aus
tIia, it will be able to prevent further
complications in Macedonia. Both gov
ernments are confident that the Porte
will carry out the work of reform and,
if necessary, actively suppress the re-
bel1ious Albanians.
There is no indication of military
preparations in Russia as reported, and
at present there is no cause for anx-
iety. AS to the politicians who are
advocating Russian military interven-
ton clearly they have no connection
with the Russian government, which,
like the Austrian, desires peace and the
maintenance of the status quo in the
Balkans. g"

Opposition to Placing Lees
Statute In National Capt.
tol Continues
OLD SOLDIERS ARE IN EARNEST
They Say Virginia Makes a Mistake
in Urging Lee for the Honor When
Others of Her Sons Are Yet Un-
recognized There, and the General
Himself, if Alive, Would Not Like it.

Washington, May 25.-There will be
no statute of General Robert L. Lee
in the hall of the national capitol If
the Grand Army of the Republic and
the Loyal Legion can prevent it, and
they think they can. They have gone
to work In a systematic manner to
bring pressure to bear upcn congress
and at this distance it begins to look
as if they would succeed. What they
want is an amendment to the federal
statute under which each state is invit-
ed to place statutes, busts or paintings
of two of its distinguished sons, de-
ceased, in the capitol halls.
AT present that law is without re-
striction, leaving the matter of seec-
ton wholly to the several states. What
the Grand Army and the Loyal Legion
want is an amendment to it which will
forever forbid the statute, bust or
painting OF any man who ever has
borne arms against the government
resolutions calling congress to take the
action suggested are being passed in
Grand Army posts all over the coun
try, as well as in Communicates of the
Loyal Legion.
BY the time congress is ready to meet
next fall. 1t is believed that practically
every Grand Army post in the country
and every commandery of the Loyal
Legion will have gone on record by
the passage of the resolution just re-
ferred to. Already action has been
taken by a number of these bodies in
this section of the country, and it is
noted that as a rule the vote is unan-
imous. Evidently the old soldiers are
in earnest in this matter, and do not
propose that Virginia shall have her
way about the proposed statute to Cen
eral Lee, A very prominent member
of the Grand Army and of the Loya.
Legion, in discussing the matter, said:
I'VE all believe that If General Lee
were alive he would not consent to
such thing. We know he would not
il he was a man of as fine sense of
honor and the proprieties as his friends
claim him to have been. Virginia is
making a mistake in urging him for
the honor of a statute in the national
capitol, when such of her sons AS Pat
rick Henry are not yet recognized
there"
Ii is said that the old soldiers, after
they have gone on record officially re-
garding this matter, will make 1t
point to see that congress does what
they want done. Already it is being
whispered that in the northern states
the question will get into practical poll
itics in many states il the law is no.

from accomplishing her design.

a record of the fact that he has favor
ably considered the request made be-
cause of the unique relationship which

it is national in It's scope and not. as
is the case with the Young Mems
Christian associations in all other cit

He took it and turned it over and

Then he walked up and down under

Suddenly he came over to her, and In
