the opinion was rclieratcd‘ to The. As-
sociated Press that the Mcurzsteg
tAIistro-Russidn reform program has
not conic to an absolute standstill and
is inoperative. lord bunsdowuc‘s
suggestion of the necessity for a pro
loci of further reforms including the
iilllillt'iilg of Macedonia. was well-
rcccivcd in official circles. but little
hopc is cntcrtulncd of successfully
carrying it out primarily, because the
opinion pip-vails that if this is ttcmp-
ch (lcrmanv will withdraw in the
existing union of the reform powers
and one influence because of her var~
ions interests in Turkey to counter-
act with the Porto any further rc~
tolm tut-usurcn proposed by (ircili liri.
illiii.
Macedonian conditions have lately
been attracting more attention horn
because of Great Britain's attitude,
and also in view of the fact that with
the spring comes a recurrence of the
rumors mostly emanating from Turk-
ish sources of active. preparations on
the part of Bulgarian.
