Constantinople, Feb. 24.-The iden-
teal note on the subject of reforms
in Macedonia, presented to the grand
vizier Saturday by the Austro-Hun-
garian and Russian ambassadors,
was translated into Turkish and was
handed to the sultan the same even
ing. The powers recommend, in adj
dition to the appointment of an in
spector general of gendarmerie for
three years, with ample powers to act
independently and to requisition troops
in case of emergency and the reor-
ganiZatiOn of the gendarmerie and
police under European instructors,
that Christians be admitted into the
gendarmerie in numbers proportion
ate to the population, without being
required to read and write the Turk
ish language. Amnesty is also de-
manded for all persons who have been
arrested for political offenses. The
scheme for administration and finan-
cial reforms in Macedonia, as pro-
posed by the powers in the note, be-
sides planning more equitable col
lection of taxes, provides that the
local expenses shall be first charge
on the revenues of each vilayet. In
the event of there being a surplus,
this may be sent to Constantinople.
Measures are also demanded for
compelling the Albanians to respect
the law.
The power which it is proposed to
give to the inspector general of gen.
darmerie, whose appointment or re-
call and whose successor must be
confirmed by the powers, thus vir-
tually detaching him from the direct
control of the authorities at Constan-
tinople, is almost sure to encounter
opposition from the Turkish govern
ment The latter also will most like
ly object to the proposed financial
arrangements and to the basis on
which it is planned to recruit the
gendarmerie, which, were the sugges-
tons of the powers carried out,
would in several districts be prac-
tically entirely composed of Chris
tia1s, owing to their predominance in
certain parts of Macedonia. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the powers
are determined to admit of no mo-
fcation. of. the reform scheme; thu
they demand it's application withou
delay and that they are prepared to
adopt coercive measures to ensure it's
being scrupulously carried out.

Says Man Who Evapo-
rated From Jail.
SURRENDERED SATURDAY
Louis Provonche Thought There Were
More Attractive Places Than a
Cell Bunk.

The man who so mysteriously ievapor-
atedi from the local jail Thursday morn.
ing presented himself to Chief Brown at
the police station Saturday afternoon aud
asked for the privilege Of being arraigned
on the charge Of intoxication. On being
brought before Judge Fay he pleaded
guilty 10 the charge Of lnt0xlcati0n and
paid his iine and costs.
The man was accompanied to the police
station by his wife According to his story
the escape from the jail was easy. He
said that early Thursday morning he got
thirsty and ratified the door Of bis cell
which was the first one on the left Of the
Jail room. With the first shake, he says,
the bolt dropped out and the cell door
swung open to liberty. The temptation Of
his home bed, in preference to the harder
one Of his cell, was too strong, and he
went ont, the two wooden doors between
himself and the open air being unlocked.
This was after o'clock as at that time
Officer Wood went to the cell and gave the
prisoner more bed-clothing. When the
officer went to get Provoneher Thursday
morning to take him before the Judge, the
cell was empty, and the cell door was
locked.
