SOP FOR SULTAN IN
MACEDONIAN AFFAIR

Constantinople, via Sofia, Bulgaria,
Dec. S.-The ambassadors Of the six
powers, at a conference just held, have
accepted some of the notifications pro-
posed by the porte to the original
scheme for the financial control of Ma
cedonia, and an amended agreement has
been forwarded to their respective gov
ernments for ratification. This is ex-
pected promptly, when the incident will
be closed. The notifications accepted
apparently in no way affect the efficacy
of the scheme, but are sop given to the
sultan's self-esteem, and his claims for
the recognition Of his sovereign, rights
by the inclusion of an ottoman repre-
sentative in the financial commission
and an agreement that the commission g
decisions shall be submitted to the sui
tan for formal imperial sanction.
