It la not Bulgaria which Is Instigating the Macedonians, so much as It la the Macedonians, who have got control of Bulgaria. THE QESTION ACUTE. The present acutenes of the ques tion waa not reached until after a , decade and a half of m propaganda. The pioneer revolutionist. Major Pan ttsa, who led a brilliant troop of Mac edonian Irregulars In the Zerbo-Bul-garlan war of twenty years ago, and who waa executed on a charge of con spiracy by the redoubtable premier PUmbouloff. waa a' voice crying In the wilderness. In hta efforts to get a hearing in a country gone mad on a pro-Russian and antl-Ruaslan con troversy. The groat StamboulofI him self held the Macedonians In strict suppression, and cultivated a friendly policy of gradual union with the Ot toman Empire. It waa only after the death In lilt that the first armed conflict between a band - and the Turkish asker took place In Mellnk. '- The Bulgarian army wa carried off . Its feet and won forever by the brav ery of the ex-omcera MutafofT and Natcheff, who found their graves In a pyramid of Turkish corpses. It wa then that the Macedonians got the up per hand, and they have held It ever elnce. The erode beginnings of the revo lutionary organisation and lu naively frank motto of annexation of Mace donia to Bulgaria were gradually per fected under the stress of circum stance. The hardest task of Instilling discontent and that proper measure of self-respect which Is required to bring m dumb slave to an armed pro test against wrongs endured for cen- " turles waa carried out by the Bul garian schoolmaster, bis soul aflame with - the mritlngs of the ro mantic school, and thirsty for the ear ly glorious death Tf a Byron or a Pushkin. The,Kxarchy Church aa It slowly gathered around Itsolf the Bul garian villages and emancipated them from the social domination of the Greek tchorbadjla, did m work rather agreeable to the Turks, who sought advantage In racial conflict, without suspecting the enormous latent vi tality of the hitherto contemned ele- ' meat Th revolutionary organisation proper slowly won over disciples from among the hot-blooded and reckless, from ths undisciplined brlnganda, from the victims of more flagrant vio lation by th bashl-baaouk. In Bona th High Macedonian Committee con fined Ua activity to propaganda of the cause among the Indifferent fellow Bulgarians. Here th lamented Kl tantcheff did an indispensable work. . With tonga of fir to which his spotless and lovable character led conviction, he first won a hearing In th National Sobranje, whose most el oquent leader he wa. The foundations of the most per- foot revolutionary organisation with which Turkey has ever had to con t.nd were laid by a Junker expelled from the Military Academy at Bona for-insubordination. The premature death of dots Deltcheff at Bonttsa on th eve of the Insurrection of 1I0S was a. Serious ions te th Internal Or ganisation which he created. But the silent leadership, th thoroughness and th rigid discipline which he es tablished had emlngly survived him. Admiring th character of some Pro testant tchetnlks from Bonsko, where the American missionaries have long labored, Deltcheff one exclaimed that If Macedonia had been Protestant, It had been free long ago." Th strict sobriety and good bohavior which he exacted of hla men, and Ms merclless ness towards loos conduct of any sort, won th confidence of the villa ger, and th Macedonian women soon became the most sealoua helpers and abettors of the tchetaa. INSURRECTION OF 10I. i 1. 1' L The insurrection of 10I. preclpl i V ", tated against th wishes of the Intern al Organisation, tnrougn a raia engi neered by th Generals Committee In Bona, first showed th power of th organisation of which VP. to that time little naa neon neara. in rnsumna , mssnmcres of 1103 carried oft thou sands of victims and th Turkish gar rison were swelled to total of 200, 000.

But many 'local engagement In which a hand- ful of armed peasant overcame large ' bodies of Turkish troops taught Its ' lesson to th unarmed Innocents who suffered the most. Th dread of the komltadjls permeated the Turkish Isker, and the aftermath showed an Increasing reluctance on the part of small bodies of Turks to go Into th mountains, or Into aolld Bulaarlan villages, or anywhere fter dnrk.

The coun try passed through . the worst ordeal that could daunt Its courage and was henceforth afraid of nothing. It pre ferred "an end with horrors than hor rore without an end." It wa. ready for another revolution. The , result, such as It. was, waa thought worth achieving. .-. ,' .- i-sk ' J :. .' Elnce then the organisation haa been husbanding its strength and waited upon the diplomatic action of Eu rope. At the outset the patent fiasco of the Austro-Rusalan Muerssteg pro gramme called . for the placing of Macedonia under th control of th whole concert of Powers and the pa tience of th Organisation, waa iter rewarded by liord Landsdowne's defl- Mtlu ittn nf lanimrv.

'-v. '..' : " . ENGLAND AND THE TJTRK.' , A comparison and contrast toth protracted tedious Inefficiency of the powers . towards Macedonia haa Just been given, by the resolute energy with which England forced the Turk to speedy terms In m matter affecting her own Interests. Only poignancy haa been added by the quick settlement of the Tabah dispute to the depression which now dominates the Macedonian forces. Instead f dispelling th pre vailing pessimism among them, this successful action of the British gov ernment haa heightened It. By con trast feelings contrary to those which might have been expected have been evoked, and the conclusions -drawn are beginning to bear fruit In m re newal of activity on the part of the Macedonian Internal Organisation. -. Its couriers are now bringing news of numerous Insurgent engagements covering a wide area. The cause of the disappointment Is not far to seek. From . England the Macedonians have expected much, from liberal England some of them have expected everything, which was perhaps too much to expect. The antl Turkiah temper so long fostered when In opposition by the party of Glad stone and the strenuous agitation car ried on by the London Balkan Com mittee under the presidency of Mr. James Bryc with th co-operation of the foremost men of his party which was paralleled by the official action of Lord Landsdowne, so often and clearly enunciated In favor of Macedonian autonomy, had led the Macedonians and Bulgarians to look to England aa their only disinterested friend in Europe. Since 1I0S the Bul garian Cabinet haa been of the Stem boulovlst party whose antecedents are strongly pro-Engl lsh and antl Kusslan. Even the Macedonian com mittees had been led to expect, and have likely received, substantial aid from Great" Britain But the . line humanitarian blow of the MUdothtan campaign, faintly repeated in - the thousands of Macedonian mass meet ings which have been held In England since 10J, having In the end been commuted Into another Question . of territory for the British flag. "For the desert of Mount Slnal Great Britain mobilised squadrons of her fleet to hack up a stringent ulti matum For the continued thousands of victims of baahl-basouka misrule and racial anarchy In European Turk ey, Great Britain ha mere diplomatic notes of protest." say Macedonian chiefs In this city. And their disap pointment Is of course artfully and In dustriously fostered by the dwindling Pen-Slavic press which takea Its cue from the Moscow "Benevolent" Com mittee which has always sought to discredit the Interest of western Eu rope In Macedonia.' Twice within a year and for the fourth time alnce 1101 squadrona of the European powers have hovered on the Macedonian horlsen: the Russian Black sea fleet, at Inlada. In 1101; the American, at Smyrna In 1104; the In ternational, at Myttlene, in 1101 and Beresford'a fleet off the Dardanelles In 1101, but no appreciable measure of relief has come therefrom to the sore ly tried populations of European Turkey.' More than 10.000 Macedoni ans have within that tlm emigrated to the United States, and the stream promises to rival the Jewish exodus from Russia. DIPLOMACY'S LAST i CARD, -r The prematura ' announcement, further, that the powers. Including th United States, hav finally agreed to the raising of the customs duties from t.ll per cent, ad Valorem I regarded as the laying down of the last card of diplomacy and the gam seems at present lost for th Macedonians. Their attitude towards these events varies very considerably and gives an Insight Into the present currents of the movement. Th uncompromising revolutionists who formed the ex treme soclal-anarrhlstlo wing of the organisation regard the failure of England to translate her words Into deeds In behalf of Macedonia as well aa for the sake of territory,- with confparatlv indifference. They ara apostles of m proletarian insurrection that shall establish on Macedonian soil the first socialist republic of the world. Hence they ceaselessly propo xate the sentiment of Independence from foreign aid. They decry the help of "kings and bishops" and pin their faith on the organised working men of Europe. ... i: . , To the central body of th revolu tionists,' headed by Its chief, . Orueff, the falure of Europe to Institute a thoroughgoing' International control with an European governor general 1s vital blow, for their dream Is to make autonomoua Macedonia a nucleus around which will coalesce In tlm a Balkan United States. This body which Is now In control maintains an attitude of reserve towards official , Bulgaria being unwilling to receive favors at the price of obligation, It Is permanently opposed to any annexa tion of Macedonian territory by the Principality of Bulgaria. This hss al ways" been th nettled policy of th . The small third nationalistic Bui- ?arlen wing of the revolutionary ore, which wa strengthened by the union of the organisation with the Committee of General Taontcheff In November, IIOS, finds In the failure of Europe to Install m reign of law In Macedonia a weighty argument In support of th aggressive military policy of the principality. They quote thm ilirlhaMlnn motto -"Italia fare ra ee.M The Blsmarcklan . doctrines of fore have thoroughly permeated th vigorous young Bulgar Stat and its preparations for war ,ar pursued with unremitting energy. GRANTS FOR- WAR SUPPLIES. Inaugurated in May 1101 with the coming of the Stamboulavlsts Into power the first measure of this new policy. wss sn extra constitutional rant of 00,000,000' franca for war supplies. It wss followed by the per centloan of UOi with th Banqu df parli at Pays, whose sol purpose ws to buy now quick firing artillery and to , build strategic railways running south. The Bohnelder work mt Creu tot have already completed most of the M batteries of Maxim -guns for Bulgaria, and the first consignment arrived in Soft early In March. - Two railway lines of obvious Intent which asmalt section on each side of the border is complete.

These lines triple the speed with which th armies of north Bulgaria can be massed on. the Turk ish frontier, and the boast of th War Ministry that It can mobollse 100,000 men in forty-eight hour would thus seem to tak on body. - Again the manoeuvres of th First and Seventh Divisions .in.

Un der the guidance of a less diplomat than Prince Ferdinand thla army might hav precipitated Itself on th Turk on several opportune moments In th last decade. To attack Tur key at the latter state of disadvan tage with th support of one or more of the great powers must be the pol icy of Bulgaria. The Impotent de nouncement of the Zerbo Bulgarian fiscal union under pressure from Aus tria last wlntr has not completely de stroyed the hope of the frjends of the two peoples. Hence th reappearance of Pashltch as Prime Minister at Bel grade augur another more simple attempt in that direction. Certainly with the gradual realisation by Ser vians that autonomy la the only work ing solution of th Macedonian prob lem, being the only one which may unite the approval of the great pow ers the chief obstacle t a close un ion Is being removed and though th value of the Servian artnjr a a fight ing organisation Is camparatlvely slight and Ita present discipline from top to bottom very loose th Servian cropa of officers is. openly eager to Wipe off on aome battlefield the stain of the damning deeds at Belgrade Palace in May. 1101. . ' PROBLEM SIMPLIFIED. In thla light the entrance of Rou manla Into th Macedonian problem as champion of th small Kutao Vlach tribe : which are now. under Hellenic tutelage has tended to sim plify rather, than complicate the sit uation. ; Its "proteges are not numer ous enough to. creat a paw clalm amt to possession, as their number la scarcely 100,000 and hence Insignifi cant. - But the loss of them I the last blow to the Turkish, position in Mace donia, and the unreckonlng fury which the andarts have wreaked by sword and flame upon.th Wallach shepherda and villagers has killed the cause it would defend. At a time when M. Varatast. th Greek consul at. Phllippopolls was endeavoring to bring about m reconciliation between Greece and Roumanla, a Greek bank by putting to death 10 Wallacha in Grevena caused a tremendoua revul sion in Roumanian publlo sentiment, and completed the breech. This es trangement between Greece alld Roumanla haa been followed with the keenest appreciation In Sofia, and th adhesion of Roumanla to a Bulgarian-Servian compact or to a sepa rate compact with Bulgaria on the basis of Macedonian autonomy ' is widely canvassed. There is prece dent in the days Just before the Otto man conquest for m great Bulgaro Roumanian realm under th Assens, the feelings of the two peoples to wards each other haa been almost consistently friendly. THE GREEK POSITION. Meanwhile th Greek poattlon In the Macedonian towns, intrenched- in the age-long domination of the Phan ar Patriarchy, which, haa hitherto kept 10,000 Bulgarian Slav villagers In social bondage, has received an ac cession of help from the - notorious Greek bands . which hav Infested Southern Macedonia ' The . fourfold union of th State, the Church, th money-power and "society" -such ma rosy possibly exist under Ottoman rule, has retarded th awakening of the Slav villager to his abject condi tion. Too often when awake he has nursed ' ., his ' - wrongs In secret and ' awaited an international control before parting, as th price for his race pride, with the comparative Immunity from Turkish molestation -which hi Greek Church affords him. V , .. Jn th midst of th halting progress toward International control the reign of terror in Macedonia continues tin abating.
