from $40 to $50 q month and are paid
by women agents, who travel from
town to town, meet the spies at speci

and receive their reports to obviate
the necessity of sending them through

tampered with by officialdom through

about the whipping. The teacher is
said to have answered Wills imperti-

came here this morning and called
on Judge Gerard and asked If he

and more active than the English
sailors, who are inclined to corpu-

"The Macedore situation Is

cording to r. Nikolof, the traveller,
who has just crossed the frontier in
to Bulgaria after a tour of investi-
cation of conditions in the adpoin-
ing Turkish province.
The Young Turks, he asserts, have
even surpassed Abdul Hamid, and un
der their rule a reign Of terror pre-
walls which is literally crushing the
Christian population to death. Under
the pretense of disarmament Nikoloff
declares that the Turkish govern
ment imprisons, beats, tortures and
kills indiscriminately.
Most of the victims are said to be
Bulgartans who have figured as
leaders in movements for reform, but
neither old men, women nor child
ren are spared. What is taking place
in Macedonia, Nikoloff says, is not
pacification, nor even repression, but
determination OF all Christians. Nor
are the Bulgarians the only sufferers
he adds Greeks, Albanians, and 9TH
ers are equally oppressed.
The outrages to which they have
been subjected have not only failed to
frighten the Bulgarians into submis-
sion, but promise to drive them into
speedy revolution. Whenever they
can find arms and experienced lead
ers, they will be ready. In fact, they
are already organizing bands and TAX
ing to the field. In many cases, the
Greeks and Albanans, forgetting
their traditional animosity toward
Bulgaria, are joining these gueril-
la parties in the struggle against the
Turks.
