 the phrases 'The Macedonian Cues tion" and the Threatened Storm in the Balkans" phrases that persistent ly recur in newspaper headlines The Ottoman empire, while on the wane, has an area of 1,5s0, 900 square miles, a population of about 40,000, ,000. It has immediate possessions in Europe. Asia and Africa. the bulk of the territories over which the sultan exercises actual sovereignty is Turkey in Asia. Tur- key in Europe has always been defi- cult for us to picture definitely. and others may have the same vagueness of conception; wherefore we would mention that Turkey in Europe com prises about one-third of the Balkan peninsula. the region IS bounded on the east and west by the Black and Adria- tic seas, on the north by Bulgaria, Ser via, Bosnia and Montenegro, on the south by the Sea of Marmora, the Aegean sea, and by Greece European TurKey has an area of about 66,O00 square miles-it once had 230. .000-and a population of 5000.

that his promises had not been re- deemed; ever the sultan expressed deep regret to hear this strange report, averred reforms had been set on foot, laid the blame on incompetent and dis honest officials; then made easy prom ises that a satisfactory state of affairs would soon reign in the territory un- der discussion. The representatives of various governments knew they were being played with, finally 1t was de- cided to make an impressive demon stratlon in Turkish waters.
 W. E. Curtis, writing in the Chicago Record Herald, gives this summary of the scheme of reform, and the extent to which carried out: Tn May, 1903, the powers presented a new plan of re- form, which was very comprehensive and was intended to prepare the way for Macedonian autonomy. It provided for a corps of foreign officials for the administration of the finances and po- lice; for foreign judges and other civil and judicial functionaries, to be select ed by Russia, Austria and Germany; the whole system to be under the di- rection of a German governor. with a Turkish inspector general as his chief of stan. who would report to the grand vizier of the ottoman empire at Con stantinople and be the connecting link between the sultan and his province. and tbe visible representative of Turk ish sovereignty. The inspector general. however. to have no authority except to watch the proceedings of the for eign officials and make such reports as he thought necessary to his master at Constantinople. The bashi-bazouks and all other Mahommedan soldiers to be withdrawn and the country to be po- Heed by native gendarmss. ofieered by foreigners. The chief of police to be foreigner and all the magistrates ex- cept those of the lowest grade lwho might be selected from the natives) to be foreigners. The taxes to be assessed and collected by natives under foreign supervision. and the entire proceeds to be expended for local purpOses-for roads, schools and other internal in- provements. after paying the expenses of government The courts to be re- orsanized. a universal scheme of pub lie instruction to be introduced. politi- cal offenders to be pardoned. and local or Turkish ofheials who had been guilty of atrocities to bs tried and punished

The Troubled and Troubling
 Ottoman Empire
The Sultan May Aways Be Relied On to Break Peace
 Promises of Reforms in Macedona Not Fulfilled.

When peace and respite of quiet broods for the moment in world af- fairs, then Turkey can usually be de- pended on to stir things up. It has been her ability to set nations warning that has kept her own empire from ruin, and the habit of roughing inter national waters appears to make it inn possible that she ever subside, ever keep from troubling. We had hoped, with Russia and Japan at peace, to have a little breathing spell; but ere we could settle to repose, up loomed Turkey with the sultan refusing the demand of the powers for the finan- cial control of Macedonia.
 Although to-day there is no official division known as Macedonia, there exists a very real Macedonia. very big Macedonian question. The terri tory widely, if not officially, known as Macedonia comprises the vilayet fprovince) of Saloniki with the eastern part of Manastir. Saloniki is just north of the Aegean sea, it is bounded on the north by Bulgaria and eastern Rou- melia. The recent international naval demonstration against Turkey was evil dence that the nations had grown ut terly sick of the long delayed redemp- tion Of the sultan's promises. It was back in 1902. Abdul Hamid promised general reorganization and reforms for Macedonia, and Christian governor to carry out the reforms To be sure. the Christian governor was appointed, but he proved very un-Christian Christian, much more cruel, more of q tyrant than his Mohammedan prede- cessor. In 1903, the powers presented a detailed scheme of reforms, the ready promiser readily promised adop- tion of these reforms To-day, Mace donia is little better of than before; the taxes of the people are stolen by Turkish authorities appointed by the government; those in power continue in acts of tyranny.

 Charlie nodded.

 The countess stared at him moment in silence. Then she said. slowly:

 And for that reason you must break of this absurd engagement before it goes any further"
 @on the contrary. said Charlie. it is -partly-for that reason that I pro- posed to Miss Trelvyn"
 Again the countess stared al him. this time in bewiIdermeut
 What do you mean?7 she exclaimed. Charlie drew a telegram deliberately from hIs pocket.
 T mean an hour ago received this telegram from-er-my confidential ad- wiser in town. he remarked.
 "A telegram" the countess etscu- lated.
 Which informs me. vent on Charlie. calmly. that the sudden death of a cousin. a comparatively young man. puts Miss Trslwyn in possession Of half q million of money"
 The countess Easped

 Precisely" said the duke. lighting a cigar.
 They were sitting on the veranda of the Paris hotel and the countess was sip ping her afternoon tea. Opposite them and to the left stretched the gardens of he Casino. The band of the Cafe de Paris, in front, was performing; the sun beat hot upon the white domes of the Casino across the square; the familiar, picturesque figures of Arabs hawking their oriental wares mingled with the many-hued dresses and startling cos tunes of Monte Carlo below them.
 And" added the duke, fiinging away his match, you have, naturally, no req son to alter your opinion on the point?' Considering that your charming ward is a pauper-no!" said the countess with asperity.
 Your charming nephew himself be- ing-not exactly a Croesus," said the duke, refiectively.
 Which makes it imperative that he should marry an heiress," the countess replied.
 "Ah!" said the duke; but If he is in love"
 My dear duke" broke in the countess impatiently, you are stupid"
 The duke stroked his long mustaches and made little, elegant bow.

 The countess was notified.
 Still" she said, T can scarcely sup pose you to contemplate such match with satisfaction"
 By no means" returned the duke. "on the contrary, nothing would induce me to sanction it."
 But she is of age?"
 True, she is of age"
 And can please herself?'
 Without doubt" ---.--
 Then your sanction is merely moral one" the countess retorted.
 Merely" agreed the duke, as if the matter did not, after all, interest him very much.
 Why did you bring her to Monte Carlo!" demanded the countess.
 Why did you bring Charlie here% he inquired.
 Pray, can control my nephew's movements?"
 The duke spread out his hands depre- catingly.
 The countess touched his arm.
 There they are" she observed, point. ing across the square with her fan.
 The duke glanced up with languid in- terest.
 A young man in flannels and a young lady with a pink parasol were strolling lazily together in the direction of the gardens. They were just passing the fountain opposite the Cafe de Paris when the countess eye fell upon them and the duke nodded.
 But. my dearest."-it was the voice of Hon. Charles BattlesX that first came to them through the bushes-"can you dare face poverty? must not deceive you, my own. am not rich"
 "Richl" whispered the countess. -Four hundred year and his debts. That's aIli"
 "Hum!r said the duke
 q cannot offer you wealth. alasl but only the whole love of my heart. the whole devotion of my life"
 "I have heard something like that in q song" said the duke, sotto yoce.
 Can you bear to be poor-vith me7- demanded Hon. Charles in impsssionsd tones.
 -oh. Charlie, with you I think could bear to be-almost anything. softly rs- piled Miss Gladys Trelvyn. dsrting 8 swift, shy glance at the hsnneled young man beside her.

 "Hushi" said the duke Let us rot interrupt this Arcadian love scene. Phyllis, Strephon-snd the goats, Ith delightful"
 Hon. Charles hsaved a deep sigh oi relief His arm was already around Miss Trelvyn's slender waist With a swift gesture he drew her still closer to him. and. bending his face to hsrs. adroitly imprinted a kiss on the young lady's lips
