THE BALKANS WARNED
Russia Says She Will Not Help
Revolutionists at This
~ Time.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 26:-The Official
Messenger prints a long statement of the
steps that led to the adoption by Austria
and Russia Of the reform scheme for
Macedonia. 1t concludes by saying that
the Balkan states which have been called
into independent existence through the
sacrifices Of Russia, may confidently count
upon the constant solicitude of the impe-
rial government for the actual needs and
the powerful protection OF the spiritual
and material interests of Christians; but
they must not lose sight OF the fact that
Russia cannot sacrifce single drop of
blood of her sons nor the smallest por-
ton Of the heritage Of the Russian people
if the Sav states should resolve to strive
by revolutionary, forceful methods to
change the existing state Of affairs In the

SPOONER'S STATEMENT
Wisconsin Senator Gave $1,000 to
the g. q. p. Cause.

Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 26.-Something of
a surprise was caused this afternoon by
the filing with the governor of state
ment by Senator John c. spooner as to
his campaign expenses. The statement
was not looked for. as no one thought
the senator had expended any money in
securing a reelection, and in fact he
says he did not spend cent for this pur-
pose.
He does state, however. that he con-
tributed $1,000 to the republican state
campaign fund, 500 to the Dane county
funa5s and spent about 5000 for personal
expenses and railway fare while making
fifteen speeches.

TO BUILD SEWER
SYSTEM AT ONCE.
Council Will Appoint Engineer
to Prepare Plans and
Estimates.

II IL probable that the city council
will take active steps at once toward
the building Of modern sewer
system during the coming summer.
At Its last meeting a resolution
authorizing the appointment Of an
engineer to prepare estimates, came
up but was not acted upon because of
the sbsence OF the mayor and two
councilmen. The present sewer
system IL only temporary box drain
affair and IL Is proposed to replace
this with modern service to
accommodate city at least double
the size Of Sumpter, anticipating its
rapid growth.
The mayor and council are under
stood to be heartily In favor Of the
movement, aud that active steps
toward Its inauguration are to be
taken at once.
No definite estimates AZ to cost
have yet been obtained, but IL IL
stated roughly that the system will
cost about $40, 900, though these
figures cannot be relied upon. Nor
IL IL yet determined how the money
will he raised, whether by bonds or
assessments. The city ordinances
provide that bonds may be issued for
such purposes, or that sewer districts
may be created and the property
owners taxed In proportion to the
relative benefits derived. Az IL will
take some time to build sewer
system. aud the work can better be
prosecuted during the summer
months, II IL probable the council
will nct at once.
