DRIFTING TOWARD
A GENERAL ROW
Russia and Austria Making
Things Worse in
Macedonia.
Special Cable to The Globe.

Special Cable to The Globe.
SOFIA, April THUS far the ef-
forts Of Russia and Austria in behalf
of Turkeys Christian subjects have
accelerated rather than retarded the
revolutionary movement in Macedonia
The agitators have made the reform
programme the pretext for a violent
crusade against Turkish rule and
Prince Ferdinand's government is in
tensely apprehensive of the result.
Sarafoff, leader of the revolutionists.
and Gen. Michailowski, president Of
the Macedonian committee, continue to
denounce the powers for compounding
Turkeys crimes and appeal to the op-
pressed people to fight for liberty. Rus
sia and Austria share Bulgaria's fears
and are applying renewed pressure in
Constantinople, and all the Balkan cap
itals to avert a situation demanding
the forcible intervention of Europe.
Turkey is not yet fully prepared to
cope with an immediate rising and
the fact that spring has set in earlier
than usual this year gives considerable
advantage to the Macedonians. Should
any serious uprising take place there
would be every likelihood Of success at
first attending the operations of the
revolutionists. Bulgaria, Servia, Rou-
mania and Greece would in all prob
ability be drawn into the fray and their
sympathies are naturally with the op-
pressed Christians. Great Britain has
warned Turkey that the increasing
bloodshed and disorder in the Balkans
is dangerous to the peace Of Europe
and that vigorous and straightforward
action on the part of the porte Is i'm
perative.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April DE
tails of the disturbances in North AL
bania show that the revolt which has
broken out there against the reform
scheme of the powers is q very serious
disturbance. Several thousand armed
Albanians surrounded the town Of Vuc-
steen, on the Mitrovitza- Uskub rail-
road, Mary 29, and demanded the sur
render of eleven Servian gendarmes
who had been enlisted in accordance
with the reform plans. The governor
surrendered the Servians, who were
bound and taken to F'ristina, after hav-
ing been maltreated. A number of the
Servian inhabitants and bands of AL
banians later surrounded Mitrovitza
and serious fighting ensued with the
Turkish garrison, consisting Of 5000
troops. The fighting continued until
March 80, when the Albanians were
repulsed with great loss. Heavy rein
forcements have been ordered from the
vilayet of Aidin, Asia Minor, and other
places to the scene of the outbreak to
suppress the rebellion. Numbers of
Christians have been murdered in the
Prilep district during the last few days.
SALONICA, European Turkey, April
Especial trains, with troops on
board, are proceeding from Monastir
and other places to Vacsteen, where
severe fighting recently occurred. It is
reported here that there were 200
casualties. Sixteen battalions of Ana
tolian Redifs have been ordered to Sa-
lonica.

DISCUSS SAVINGS BANKS.
Smiths Bill Gives House a Chance for
Nice, Long Talk.

The house yesterday spent most of
the two hours of the days session
wrangling over Smiths BILL designed
to permit banks Of discount and de-
posit to open savings departments.
The trouble started over an amend
ment offered by Mr.. Tighe, who wanted
the banks Of st. Paul ana Minneapolis
excluded from the provisions Of the
proposed law. The discussion of banks
and banking which followed resulted
in the airing of nearly all the misin-
formation in possession of the several
professions represented in the house,
except the medical profession, which
took no part in the hot-air exercises.
In the end the Tighe amendment was
defeated. An amendment offered by
Mr.. Shearer to make the bill apply to
trust companies met the same fate,
and, with the subject thoroughly
threshed out, the bill was recommend
ed for passage.

nent of facts to the Appellate Division Of the Su-
preme Court in this department, from whose de-
csion an appeal could be taken to the Court of
Appeals and finally disposed Of there; that in this
manner a decision could be hoped for before mid

request before the hoard Of directors. saying that
