A Garibaldian "Plan."

Riccotti Garibaldi, son of the late dis
tinguished Italian patriot, Joseph Carl
baldi, who played such a conspicuous part
in the work of italian political unfication,
has announced his plan for the 'rectifca-
ton of frontiers In the Balkan peninsula. |
He would have Greece come to an I'M
Outstanding with Turkey and would place
Albania under Italian protection. while he
would have Macedonia made Independent,

fore Russia and Austria get control of
eastern Adriatic countries.
Ricciotti proposes to lead an Italian vol
unteer army to give Albania her independ-
ence, and threa tens to renounoe italian
citizenship If the Italian government dis
approves his program.
The idea of a Graeco-T Turkish constitu-
ton Is somewhat wild. Macedonia is peo-
pied chiefly by people akin to the Bull
garians, and they want Macedonia merged
in Bulgaria. The Albanians nearly all
Mohamm edans, and it Is questionable If
they would like to be subject to Italy.
The bodyguard Of Sultan Abdul Hamid
Is recruited from Albania. The Christians
of Macedonia have been as brutaly as
sailed and prosecuted by the Albanians as
they are by the Turks.
Garibaldfs scheme would probably be
strenuously opposed by the italian gov
eminent, for armed invasion Of Albania
to wrest it from the Turks would lead the
European powers to demand an explana-
ton Of such aggressive policy, which

italian government will probably notify
Garibaldi that it declines to shoulder the
