The story of the so-called reforms
in Macedonia is a sad and a sordid
one. Officially, at least, all Christen-
dom with a long pull and a pull alto
gether," has been unequal to the task
of making the sick man of Europe" sit
up, Oh of bringing the ~"unspeakable
Turk" to book. In England alone of
all the great powers interested, and,
indeed, morally responsible for the
horrors of daily and hourly occurrence
in the luckless %yilayets, is there any
appreciation of the dreadful situation.
Almost weekly the Macedonian COM
mittee, of which Lord Newton and Mr..
Quincy are the most active members,
publish statistics setting forth as
plainly as cold figures can make them,
that the present laissez faire policy
of the powers has only served to repro
duce a tableau of what in the iron age
the world must have been.
England Hampered.
The English humanitarians are ham,
pered in their work by the undeniable
fact that through the action of the
earl of ~Beaconsield and Lord Sails
bury at the Berlin congress-, when they
thwarted ~Ignatieff's plan of a greater
Bulgaria, including a free Macedonia,
England Is primarily responsible for
the present status of affairs. They
are further hampered by the presence
in Co%nstantinople of an incompetent
ambassador, who has given undeniable
proofs of his want Of capacity in such
important posts as he has occupied in
Sofia, @in Pekin and in st. Petersburg.
The first whisper of reform-in
what we call Macedonia-cane in vir-
tue of the accord of 1879 between Aus
tria and Russia, and their recognition
by other European states as the pow
ers most directly concerned. The adj
vice of the powers was accepted
gracefully-it always is-by the sui.
tan, and with the purpose of forestall.
ing any possible drastic action the
sultan himself drew up a program of
reforms, and appointed that adroit
diplomatist and profound student OF
human nature, Hussein Hilmi Pasha,

resolution passed to censor the press
reports concerning the congress OF the

that hereafter all information for the
press concerning the work of the con-

The congress adopted a resolution,
which net forth that information given
out by Daughters must be vised by the
chairman of the press committee before
1t is considered authentical. This, Mrs.
Mclean declared, had no reference to
the reporters for the Washington news
papers.

SENATE.


The fight of tbs administration forces

began Immediately after the opening o.
the Senate today, and became hotter as
the debate progressed. To everybOdy's
surprise, when the naval bill WAS taken
up, there was no contest.
A continuation of the stirring debate
CT yesterday seemed to have beer aban-
doned. The chair called for ay(te on

crease The number of big ships from two,
as provided in the bill, 70 four, on the
argument that the United States,
in the near future, might have to fight

out division.
The Washington Senator had been
delayed. When he appeared, and was
made acquainted, he demanded recon-
sideration. Senatorial courtesy gave II
10 him. Then an oratorical battle rsged.
Senator Aldrich characterized the
attitude Of Senators Piles and Beverage
as extraordinary, snd there arguments
ludicrous, che said that they were serious
phases to the situation. A great nation,
he said, Jealous Of it's honor, would be
more ready to take otfense sgainst insinu-
atoms made on the floor OF the Senate
by some one pretending to represent the
president Of the United States than by
an open attack"
He protested against Beveridge's re-
marks Of yesterday. BE did not believe
that either the Indiana or Washington
Senators had matter of the increased
number of battleships were TO be dis
cussed in executive session there would
be few votes sgsinst the pending amend

Senators Beveridge and Piles inter-
rupted to disclaim that they had pre-.
tended to speak for the president, hav-
ing merely referred to his message on
this subject. Mr.. Aldrich said talk
about war ia the Pacific can only
mean fight with japan, and there ID
no ground whatever for such insinua-
tons.

The strongest argument made for
big navy lies in the statement that this
couulry has two big stretches Of coss'
line on two oceans, and, therefore, needs
two big fleets of war ships to defend them
The answer lies in the fact that, not
wlthstanding our extended coast lines
by strictly attending to our own business
we have escaped effective attack. Our
increasing capability of taking care o.
ourselves makes US increasingly safe for
the future. The oceans that 50 widely
seperate US from the other great powers
of the earth are one of the elements
of our safety. Oar trans-msrine rivals
can only fight us at our arms length, far
away from their base of supplies.
