UNREST IN MACEDONIA
SHOWS NO Abatement
Bu1gars Resent Moslem Colonization
in Their Districts-Other Signs
Of Trouble.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
cONSTANTINOPLE.D December Is, 1909.
According to latest advices the situa-
ton in Macedonia has not improved.
The Bulgarian Constitutional Club at
Monastir has been closed in spite of Wig
orous protests from the Bulgars. A
former Bulgarian official has been muir
dered under suspicious circumstances
near Uskub. A Servian ex-band captain
has been murdered in the Kirchevo dis
trict.
The Albanian clubs are FESTIVE. Their
leaders accuse david Pasha of having
allowed his troops to commit acts Of
barbarity on non-cOmbatants. There
seems also to be some effervescsnce
among the Christian and Moslem Allban-
Avlona.
The Bulgars are, however. the chief
source of anxiety. They resent the plant
ing of colonies Of MOslem immigrants in
Bulgar districts.
These immigrants, who have been given
grants of government lands, are, from all
accounts, an undesirable addition to the
inhabitants Of the three vilayets. Some
are fanatics who will not submit to
Christian rule. most are failures and
many have arrived armed.
About 500 families have reached Salon
Xxi others have been given land near
Adrianople About 600 families have
been sent to Yanina.
A proposal to plant settlements of
Muhadjirs In the fertile coastal plain of
Albania between Avlona and DuraZZo
was withdrawn owing to the hostility of
the Albanians.

GENEVA. December 10. 1909.
Prison life I'm Switzerland is luxury
instead of a punishment. The comic cnera
Jail at Thorburg, where the inmates did
as they pleased. has only recently been
suppressed by the Berne authorities, yet
details are published today of a similar
institution at Sarnen, in the canton OF
Oswald
Sarnen is apparently an ideal penal
resort, for the happy criminals who are
sentenced to terms of detention" in that
institution have a far better time than
hundreds of free" Swiss citizens who are
forced to earn their bread.
A correspondent of a Lausanne paper
states that he was passing through Sar-
men when he saw a number of men
dressed i'm dark blue clothes with white
stripes walking about the village smoking
and joking.
Others were seated in a cafe and some
were working i'm leisurely manner car
rying bricks for the construction Of a
new building. To his establishment the
correspondent found that the men were
convicts from the cantonal prison close
by.
These convicts are permitted to leave
the prison early in the morning and find
, work around Sarnen or walk about the
country until nightfall. when they return
nf their own accord to the prison.
They are unaccompanied by warders.
and there is nothing to prevent 'heir es-
Gaping, but they are far too comfortable
to think Of relinquishing their quarters.
for they have as much liberty as oth9r
men. and are. moreover. fed and lodged
for nothing.
The money earned by those convicss
who choose to work can be spent as they

Two or three convicts escaped" some
weeks ago. but they eventually returned
to the prison in a half-famished condi-
ton, and after being severely reprimand-
ed they were allowed to return to theI'
apartments.
One convict was discharged recently,

he remained in Sarnen for the purpose of

TAFT DISCUSSES THE TARIFF
Strongly Favors Reduction Of Duty on
Necessities,

Strongly Favors Reduction Of Duty on
Necessities.
Washington, March 29.-President
Taft talked tariff with Senator Hale
of the senate finance committee, with
Representative Dalzell of Pennsyi-
vania, with Representative Hinshaw
Of Nebraska and with John Barrett,
director of the Bureau of American
Republics. 1t is said that the presi-
dent is letting it be understood that
he strongly favors q reduction Of the
tariff on all of the necessities of life.
The Payne bill repeatedly has been at
tackled in the house debate as impos-
ing too heavy a burden upon the poor
and as favoring the richer classes.
The impression that has been created
by so much of this talk has been any
thing but gratifying to the admins
tration, it is claimed, and matters
have not been greatly improved by
the criticism that too much considera-
ton appears to be in prospect for the
special interests and not enough for
the consuming public.
President Taft is known to be
strongly opposed to the proposed tax
on tea. It is stated that this tax
would yield about $s,00o,000 annually.
The president believes that this
amount could be made up by an excise
tax on the dividends of corporations
or by some methods of stamp taxation
