CONTROL OF NEAR EAST
ENGLAND HAS PLANS FOR BALKAN
 GOVERNMENT.
British Foreign OHlce Is Now Convinced
 That the AustrO-Russian Reform q Measures Are El0peless n~o Failure ,

London, Jan. 19.--The British for. eign office is convinced that the Austro. Russian reform measures decided upon Tor Macedonia are a hopless failure and Is communicating with the powers interested in the near eastern question with the view of obtaining an expres- sion of the extent to which they are willing to go to secure more extensive and more real reforms and probably will lay before parliament very early in the session of a sweeping project which Foreign Secretary Lansdowne believes will insure success.
 When Great Britain agreed to sup port the Austro-R Russian scheme the foreign tics.reserved the right to off, fer amendments to the program in the event that the scheme known as the Meurzsteg program proved a failure. All recent reports to the foreign oflce from British consuis in the Interior of Macedonia proclaim the utter collapse of the scheme and show that the con ditions prevailing in the interior are no better than before the late revolu- tion.
 It is expected that If Lord LansI downe received sufficient support from the powers he will renew the sugges- tion offered year ago to place Mace- donia under control of Christian gov ernor general. not responsible to tho Sultan. but to the powers.
 Up to the present, Italy alone has signified her willingness to cooperate with Great Britain in demanding more effectual methods. There Is some doubt concerning the position which France will take. but the Associated Press understands that the French government though inclined to side with effectual reforms. is not willing to disturb the existing conditions. hop ing that the summer will pass without 0 serious conflict.
 At the same time French and Ger man financiers are arranging to sup- ply Turkey with a loan of $25.00o, 900, the largest rart Of which will be de- voted to fitting out the Turkish ar- my with new batteries of quick firing guns. orders for which have been placed with the. French and German manufacturers. Similar orders recent . ly have been placed by Bulgaria -
 It is not likely that Austria and Rus sia, which refused to consent to Great Britain's original proposition for the appointment of a Christian governor general, will now agree to 1t. and 1t is said that Germany probably will maintain a friendly attitude toward Turkey.
 The Associated Press has been in . formed by the British consul general

 Troop D is one of the leading organ nations in the squadron and under the new ofncers will continue to grow and flourish.
