Settle Macedonian Rule,
Plan of England'S King

LONDON, June 27.-That England
plans an end Of Turkish rule in Mace
dora, with its long record Of murder
and outrage, is the information dropped
by a member of the foreign Office While
the information Is IN the nature OF a
leak" it's reliability cannot h Ques-
toned.
In the recent meeting between King
Edward and Emperor Nicholas at
Reval. this subject was discussed and
II was agreed that an international un-

similar 20 the AIgericas agreement in
respect to Moro eco, was imperative.
The United ,6ates viii be invited 10
Join with other powers, on the initiative
of England and Russia. for an early
initial conference on the Macedonian
question.
II is certain that Germany VIII oppose
the proposed plan. The German empire
is none too friendly to England and
Russia. owing to her belisf that the
recent meeting between the rulers of
these nations has the further isolation
OF Germany as one Of its objects.
Previous 20 the meeting at Reval, both
King Edward and Emperor Nicholas
gave il out that the only matter OF
state TO be considered would be the
Macedonia situation The new deveI-
cpments indic ate that this subject was
discussed, though whether other pOlit-
ical situations were raised Is not known.

They consisted only OF prayers and
reading OF portions OF the Scriptures

he would not fall. and Miss Petit was
told to slide down the roof 10 the blue

slid down. and she was carried to a

Miss Petit is suffering from nervous

Grover CIcveIand's Climax.

OF late years we have become ac.
of the spectacular in our national gov
eminent. The events of President
Cleveland's second Term may be taken
rs an illustration of the fact that the
spectacular is not by any means the
same as the dramatic Horse break
| ing, military reviews, peace confer
ences like that at Portsmouth. where
the diplomatic comedy was all care
fully prearrangcd, the swift dispatch
of battleships for the benefit of the
newspapers-all these things matter
so little that they will be almost in
stantly forgotten, writes Henry Thur
Gton Peck in the Forum. They tickle
he fancy of the Onlookers for mo-
ment. They furnish the press with
daily gossip. But they are no more
truly dramatic than is the transforma-
ton scene at the end of Christmas
partomime. The most GREATNESS mo-
ment since the civil war closed with
the death of Lincoln, the most endur-
ing mark which American statesman
ship has left on history for the last
quarter of century came when these
grimly measured sentences OF Grover
Cleveland's message were read out in
the senate chamber:
