Troops in Macedonia.

London.-W A. Moore, secretary of
the Balkan committee. who has re-
turned from a two months tour of
Macedonia, said today:
The wanton slaughter of Christians
in Macedonia continues under the eyes
of Europe's representatives. Crossing
the Bulgarian border, the first news to
greet me was an objectionable massa-
ere in the little village of konopnitz.
which occurred three days before my
arrival. On visiting the village found
the bodies of man, two women, a girl
and the children still unburied and laid
out in the Christian church The wo-
man had been shot. but | saw one child
whose head had been crushed. prob
ably with the butt of gun.
The wounded had been taken to
Egri palanka, an hours ride distant.
and where resides the Austrian officer
in charge of the district
The story of the affair is a repeti-
ton of the oft-told tale. An insurgent
band visited the village and demanded
food on departing. The Turkish au-
thorities on learning of the visit. dis
patched "A body of troops which. dis
covering no insurgents in the place.
dealt out their revenge on the Chris.
tians."

Election in Sweden.

Stockholm-Ele Elections for members
of the second chamber of the Riksdag,
which We're held during September,
have Just been concluded. The ques-
tion of the dissolution of the union of
Norway and Sweden exercises little
influence during the campaign. the pre-
dominant factors being the extension
of the franchise and the adoption of
proportionate representation.
The results show decided major
ity against the latter issue. indicating
that there will be- another deadlock
in the Riksdag as the first chamber
stands committed TO the proportional
system. The members OF the left
have have a small majority in the new
chamber. The Socialists hold fourteen
seats, having gained several.

other road is open, that followed by
