CONSTANTINOPLE. March 14. (Sp
cial. BuMiau England and France are all
hoping that the Nova Bazar Railway
mhfme, which Baron von Xehrenthil. the
ustro-Hun?aran Minister of foreign
. affairs, suddenly launched upon Burop
will simmer down to a mere question of
diplomancy. while Germany U Indifferent
and Turkey triumphant. A somewhat
fantastical rumor has been circulating in
Berlin and St. Petersburg that a new
grouping of European powers will take
plure In regard to the question of the
Near Kast. According to the story, which
has evidently been thrown out aa a
tccler. Kngiajid and Jtussia intend to act
together, supported by France. The object
of the new grouping Is said to be the
Isolation of Germany and Austria-Hungary
In the Balkans.
Men of sound Judgment and good in
formation everywhere recognize that the
Austro-Hungarian Minister's scheme fs an
event of great international importance.
That la obvious, whatever may be the
consequences which ultimately may flow
from It. It manifestly involves a con
ftiderable change In the relations between
the two mo8t interested powers in Mace
donia, and. consequently, a cltenge in the
whole position of the Concert of Europe
and of its several members so far as that
region its concerned.
Complication Would Result.
The statesmen at St. Petersburg do not
dispute that the railway project is in
ccordance with the Treaty of Berlin, aa
in fact it in. or that it Is purely economic
nd commercial, as manifestly it is not.
T'hey have merely, replied by suggesting
:hat if Austria -Hungary can make a
railway for purely trade rt-asons. which
connects her with Salonika, the Balkan
states, animated by the like pacific and
insoltlsh motives, may with equal or
jreater rvaon make a railway from the
Danube to the Adriatic. The fact that
such a railway mould cross the Nova
Bazar line i not taken Into account in
this statement, but it Is manifest that a
7Ian of that character would cause serious
complications.
The position of Macedonia entails the
gravest danger. Every one of the re
forms which has been introduced into
Muctdonla has been extorted from the
Sultan by the combined action of the
powers. H is to this combined action
alone that he has reluctantly yielded, and
hia desire all along has been to break
up or to weaken the combination which
has made the pressure upon him irresist
ible. At last the break has come without
any effort on his part, and so great is
the Joy of the Sultan that it almost passes
the bounds of reason.
Germany's support of reforms of all
sorts has been conspicuously platonlc
throughout the history of the Near. East
ern question. She was, and is, Austrian-Hungary's
close ally, and it was hoped
that by the recognition of Austria
Hungary and Russia as the mandatories
of Europe, her eal for the welfare of the
Christian subjects of her friend Abdul
Hamld might receive a gentle stimulus,
but on the whoie the results have been
disappointing. By supporting Austria
Hungary, Germany now supports the
Sultan, and as a result the condition of
the Macedonians may become as bad as
it was some 30 years ago when they were
ruthlessly slaughtered by the Turks.
Fngland's Policies. Rejected.
Baron von Aehrenthal's declaration that
the prosecution of the reforms la no
longer the special business of Austria
Hungary and Russia, but that of the con
ference of the ambassadors at Constanti
nople, and his curt dismissal of a the
project for Increasing the activities" and
the duties of the international Gendar
merie as unpractical, are significant. The
British proposals on the subject have
necessarily been withdrawn and England
stands defeated before the Powers of
Europe. Her proposals were highly dis
tasteful to the Sultan, and how are any
reforms which are distasteful to him, as
all honest reforms are, to be enforced
upon him, now that a prominent member
of the concert has solicited favors at his
hands in the form of a great railway
concession?
A Turkish statesman, who has always
shown himself a good judge of the situa
tion, in speaking of the reforms today,
said:
' The whole question of the reforms has
been a greitt game of bluff, and our Padi
shah has won. At first the powers had the
bfPt of it. It really looked an If they In
tended working together, and the Sultan
save in on the gendarmerie and financial
acent quantum, but then he realized that he
had been bluffed, snd there was no real
cohesion botwrn the Towers, so he turned
a deaf ear to their requests for the renewal
of the mandates of the financial agents.
Although the Pnwcrs tried to bluff him
again, he aw them and now he has the
satisfaction of feeling he has woo.
SANATORIUM TOO SMALL
Benedictine Sifters Will Try to
Erect Additional Building.
The Oak Grove Sanatorium, which is
conducted by the Benedictine Order of
Nuns, has been found tq be too small
to accommodate the large number of
patients desiring admission, and the
proposition to increase Its capacity is
now occupying the attention of the
order.
The institution was inaugurated for
the purpose of administering to the
unfortunate afflicted with tuberculosis
and other Incurable diseases, and has
been indorsed by a number of leading
physicians, among whom Is Dr. K. A.
Pierce, who Is tn charge of the Open
Air Sanatorium. At this Institution it
is desired that a subscription be raised
to asstHt the sisters in the proposed
erection of an addtional building, and
any organization or private citizen de
string to assist a worthy cause would
do well to communicate with Dr. Pierce
or with the Benedictine Sisters. The
latter can be addressed in care of
postofflce box 67, Portland.

Mild Form of Influenza in Early
Winter Changes to Malady That
Proves Very Serious.
LONDON. March 14. (Special.) The In
fluenza epidemic In London has not only
been spreading rapidly In the last three
weeks, but iias taken on a much more
malignant form. Long: known, as the
mcst protean of diseases. Influenza, since
Its first arrival this Winter has shown
three distinct types, none of these luck
ily, except the last and present one. be
ing of a very fatal character. Before
Christmas many of the Influenza cases
presented symptoms resembling a low
grade of typhoid fever. Continuous dull
headache, with great lassitude and slight
hut persistent rise of temperature, were
prominent symptoms.
During January the nervous type be
came prominent splitting headache, with
severe pains in back and limbs, causing
complete prostration. Until the last two
weeks, few cases have been seen of the
ordinary type of the disease, in which
mucous membranes of the nose, throat
and lungs are chiefly attacked. At pres
ent this is the commonest type of case in
London.
"The more than doubling of the death
rate from Influenza last week, the deaths
numbering 84. as compared with 34 the
previous week, has not come as a surprise
to students of the disease." said a well
known practitioner a few days ago.
"When the headachy symptoms, with
backache, pains In the limbs, and slight
fever, with depression, which had formed
the ordinary Influenza attack up to thax
time, were supplemented by sudden se
vere colds in the head and bronchitis,
with other signa of involvement of the
respiratory passages following, those ex
perienced in the disease foresaw that the
resulting mortality would be greatly in
creased." One complication of the disease is
known as influenzal septicaemia, and has
resulted fatally in six cases in which it
has been noted. The great danger in
such cases is acute ulcerative disease of
the valves of the heart. If this takes
place, the bacilli multiply on the ulcer
ating patches on these valves, and are
carried to the lungs and brain, where
abscesses are formed. If this takes
place, there is very little hope of recov
ery. The prevalence of horse-influenza
In London when there is so much of the
human variety about, has cast suspicion
on other domestic - animals as possible
carriers of the disease.
LONDON'S HUNGRY ARE FED
AH Needy Children Are Supplied
With Free Meals.
LONDON". March 14. (Special.) Al
though much criticism has been applied
to tiie adoption of the voluntary system
for supplying London's hungry school
children with free meals, the most un
compromising champions of rate aid are
bound to admit that never before have
so many metropolitan children been
regularly fed as at present. There was
issued from the offices of the London
County Council thl week a return which
showed that during last wee"k no fewer
than 44.S60 children were provided with
meals on an average of four days a week
in 442 schools.
That is an increase of over 14.000 chil
dren fed as compared with the corre
sponding week of last year, and the num
ber of schools at which the feeding ar
rangements are in operation has been
Increased by 130. For the first time in
the history of the movement every school
reported as having necessitous children
also reported that means were provided
for feeding those children. The formation
of children's care' committees in every
district in London was also reported as
working most efficiently.
CRITICISED BY ARCHITECTS
PORTLAND SCHOOL BUILDINGS
BEHIND THE TIMES.
Design Is Inartistic, Method of Heat
ing Defective and Exits Not
Properly Placed.
A number of Portland architects do
not approve the style of architecture
employed in designing public school
houses, nor of the .present method of
heating by the indirect electiic fan,
which drives the hot air Into the class
rooms, nor the present system of exits.
They also condemn the East Side High
School, saying that it is not fireproof.
Generally they think Portland Is be
hind the times In the matter of school
architecture. In view of the fact that
the district is about to erect a $250,000
high school building in Albina the
complaints have a significance.
These criticisms were brought out at
the meeting of the Portland Associa
tion of Architects at the home of Secre
tary Otto Kleeman on Belmont strtet
Friday nlgtt, the main subject under
discussion being fireproof schoolhouses
and heating. The meeting was well
attended and the association was
strong in condemning the present
wooden schoolhouses In their present
"V" or !'E" shaped plans, with stair
ways and exits in the central part only,
and with their inartistic exteriors.. It
was the opinion of the architects that
Portland Is behind other Coast cities
in the matter of school buildings, and
behind many Eastern villages.
The new East Side High School
building also was severely criticised,
and it was held that if a plain, "com
mon sense style of a building had been
adopted instead of the monstrosities
act-jally put t'P. a first-class fireproof
building could have been erected for
the same cost." It was set forth that
the quality of the sandstone used in
the East Side High School structure is
particularly treacherous In case of fire,
and would melt down like so much flirt.

LEXINGTON. Ky., March 14. The
Night Riders, who burned bams in the
vicinity of Versailles, also set fire to that

tobacco was destroyed, the crops having1
been sold out. The men fired their revol
vers and traveled rapidly. Officers from
three counties are hunting for clews to
the incendiaries.
