sonally to inspect and examine all the accounts

Major Mcintyre will not return to this country

becoming more successful every month. There has
been falling off. despite dull times but a grad

THE MACEDONIAN REFORMS.
Germany's Observant Attitude-Bulgarian
Agent Defends Government.

Berlin July 15.-The "Sud-DeutscheReichs
Korrespondenz the usual vehicle of Chancellor
Won BUlow's semi-official declarations, says to-
day that Germany must await the receipt of the
Russian note regarding Macedonia before taking
under consideration the proposals for reform in
Macedonia made by Great Britain. because the
question of the constabulary is closely tied up
with the matter Of financial administration The
British and Russian suggestions will rest a
frrner and broader basis after they have been
submitted and adjusted TO the views OF Austria
Hungary. Germany will discuss the subject with
the statesmen Of Austria-Hungary and Italy. AS
in the past Cermanys attitude Will be chiefly
that of an observer. Germany herself has prob
lens in Macedonia. and for this she never
has been the first to propose a course OF action.
General Nikyforof the Bulgarian diplomatic
agent in Berlin. said to-day that it neces-
sary for the Porte to ask the great powers to ex-
ercise pressure on the Sofia government 10 put
stop 70 raidng bands, the relations between
Constantinople and Sofia excellent. Fur
thermore he said. the Bulgarian government was
observing most loyal attitude. and the real rea-
son for the disorders in Macedonia was the mis-
cradle administration OF Turkey.
