IN THE BALKANS.

| The reports from the Balkan states
are not calculated to inspire confidence,
although Russia has notified Bulgaria,
that any encouragement given 10 Ma
cedonIan rebels. win DO promptly re-
scented. This may mean only that Rus
sian aid cannot be depended on In a
war with Turkey. and the sultan may
feel tempted TO seize the opportunity
Of re.assertlng himself In the lost prov
inces. The European powers, no doubt,
are strainlng every nerve, to prevent
conflict, But that Is no guarantee
that they will succeed. They did all
in their power, to prevent the clash
between Russia and Japan, but to no
AVIAN.
The Balkan question Is one Of contin.
ual menace. In 1876 Turkish atrocities
IN Bulgaria enraged Cbristendom. Rus.
sla assumed the role OF protector, and
at the end Of war extorted from
Turkey IN 1877 the treaty Of San Ste
fano, which, among many other things,
created the virtually independent prn-
cipallty Of Bulgaria. But Europe re-
fused to permit the treaty to stand,
and at the Congress OF Berlin new
treaty was signed whose object was to
prevent the creation OF any strong Bal
kan state, and particularly one under
the domination OF Russia, Independ-
ent and semi-independent Kingdoms
and prlncIpallties were carved out, the
district commonly spoken OF as Mace
donIa was left as an integral part Of
Turkey but reforms in the government
OF the Macedonian provinces were guar
anteed. The signatory powers were
Great Britain, Russia. Germany, Aus
trla- Hungary, France. Italy and Tur-
key, But here is the trouble, The re-
forms have never been carried out.
Meanwhile, the whole region has been
IN a state OF ferment, Last summer,
Russia and Austria exerted pressure
on Turkey. to compel II TO reform, but
II came to nothing and 1t Is feared that
the rebellion will break out anew,
The suggestion has been made that
the Balkan question be solved by put
ting most OF Macedonia under Eu-
ropean governor. Thus new buffer
state. a mainland Crete, II is said,
would be established. And such ac-
ton would do more to harmonic the
rival races--Greeks, Bulgars,arNi Vlachs
partlcularly--than would annexation to
Bulgaria II would also quiet immedl-
ate political Jealouses
But the true solution OF the Balkan
question would be the gathering Of the
different races according to their aiIini-
ties, national and ecclesiastical, and the
establishment OF Jewish state In the
land Of Canaan, That Is the only
permanent settlement OF that question,
and the one that will come finally. Pos
sibly a great war Is first to come, and
II appears that Europe now Is anxIously
watching the developments,

THE JEWS IN RUSSIA.

In letter from 81, Petersburg 10 the
London jewish Chronicle 1t Ia stated
that the commission now sitting at ST.
Petersburg, charged with the revision
Of the laws IN force against the Jews,
proposes TO recommend that In ten
provinces OF Poland where hitherto
Jews have enjoyed unrestricted rights.

respect to conform to the regulations

Were II not for official corruption. the
lot OF the Russian Jews would be un-
bearable. But money counts In KIef,

that the Russian government must

JUDGES, but It is also true that the gov
