Arrest of Macedonian Conspirators Attributed to Pressure From Rus sian Court Influence, New York, Feb. 18. The unknown factor In tho Eastern question Is the czar's will, cays the London corrcs pondent of tho Tribune. The arrest of Macedonian conspirators In Bul garia is attributed to pressure from tne HubSlan court, but there is no de cisive proof tiiat tho movement for the emancipation of tho Balkan Ponin- sula, which received a great stimulus from tho festivities at Shlnka and So- fia last year, has been condeintiPd In St. Petersburg. Tho principality of Bulgaria, which was created by tho congress of Dor lln, remains nominally a tributary state of tho Turkish empire under European protection, and tho minis ters at Sofia are compelled to restrain the activities of tbo Intriguers whllo mo Russian and Austrian proposals tor reform are under consideration by tho powers. A premature outbreak would prejudice against tho move ment when tho sultan has not been al lowed an opportunity for complying with the reasonable demands or the powers. The Bulgarian ministry is probably acting upon its own Initiative In sup pressing tho recruiting of irregular bands of volunteers, , and in looking up the noisiest agitators, but It Is not clear that either It or the Russian gov ernment has gone further than to de prive the Sultan of a plausible pro text for rejecting a pacific mothod of settling the Macedonian question.
