Coalition In Macedonia Between Four
Powers Seems Likely.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. LIT is eX-
pected here that Russia and Great
Britain will enter upon an agreem mt
for joint action with regard to the
situation in Macedonia and that these
two powers will be supported by
France and perhaps by Italy.
If such a coalition is made the red
son for it undoubtedly will be the
latest developments at Constantinople
the fact that Germany intends 10
abandon and adopt the counterpart
posals of the Sultan, which in Rus
sia's opinion are tantamOunt to no re-
form at all. Only by such a four power
league, according to the Russian
press. can the necessary reforms in
Macedonia be carried through. Dis
patches received here from London in
dictate that a similar view is gaining
ground there.
