Sofia, Bulgaria, August IS—The Bul
garian government has presented a
randum to the powers setting out at
great length the condition of affairs
during the past three months in Mace

three months the Ottoman government
has taken a secies f mc.is.nes vith the
alleged intention cf inaugurating era of
promised reform and cf assuring peace
and tranquillity to the Bulgarian popula
tion of European Turkey, but which have
had the contrary effect of further ex
asperating this population and revivii c
the revolutionary movement Instead of
proceeding solely against persons guilty
of breaches of the pub ic order, the mil
itary and civil authorities have sought
every possible pretext t persecute, ter
rorize and ruin tre Bulgarian inhabitants
alike in the large cities and in the small l
villages.

Other Acts of Oppression.
| Dealing with other acts of oppression,
the memorandum states that the Bul
garian merchants and artisans living in
Constantinople and Salonika •ta ordered
to return to their native villages and
were not allowed any time, or oppor
tunity to dispose of their business or
property. Some of these Bulgarians, who
with their families, had been established
for twenty years or more, were utterly
ruined. As the order applied equally
to professors and schoolmasters the Bul
garian schools w-ere closed before the end
of the school year. The authori
ties rigorously enforced the same
order against the Bulgarian priests,
making every effort to paralyze the de
velopment of religious and educational
work, and deprive the Bulgarian chinch
of all its privilege, and force the people
to come under the authority of the Greek
patriarch.
Encouraged by the Ottoman author!
ties, the Greek bishops and archiman
drites forced their way into the Bulgarian
churches and burned the prayer books
..i.u menaced the people. The archiman
drite of Salonica declare d in a recent ser
mon that the sultan did not want Bul
garian artisans in his empire: if they
nmaii tiiey would be exterminated.
In addition . -th- decree banishing the
Bulgarian tradesmen from Conslanti
noe'e and Sa a. the porte adopled
n,i.a>i:res to rum the traders elsewhere.

In conclusion, the memorandum asserts
that the foregoing exposure more
condemns Ottoman administrative gov
ernment in Europe. It says
' Not long ago the porte denounced

cause for the trouble.. From sad expe

bloody repression do not restore order
and peace m a country. The porte aoc-’-pt
ed in principle the project of reform which
it has not put into effect. It has declared
that the project is insufficient. Lgistly,
the porte formally promised the Bu’.ga- .

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION s ATLANTA, GA. MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1903.
i situation here is the remarkable quietude
, with which the people have received the
news of the fresh fighting in Macedonia.
The whole outbreak came as a great sur
j prise, even to the local revolutionary com-
• j mittee. which are not prepared for so
. early a rising. In spite of the stirring ap
i peals of the committees little or no
popular enthusiasm is apparent, not even
among the 20,000 Macedonian residents of
Sofia. How long this condition will last
depends largely upon the developments in
Macedonia. At present the center of tne
| disturbances is Monastir, a long
way off. Should the rising spread
! to the vilayet of Vskub and come near ’ i
The Bulgarian frontier, it is probable that
< the population of Bulgaria will become
j aropsed.

Russia Plays a Lone Hand.
St. Petersburg. August 16.—The Russian i
press does not lay emphasis on the dis
patch of a division of the Russian Black
Sea fleet to Turkish waters, merely re
peating the official statement without ’
comment. The Novoe Vremya, in an
outspoken editc-ial. says:
"Bitter experience has shown the -i«e J
lessness and disadvantage of a‘ll con
certed measures. Now, since the n
der of M. Rostkowskl does not conce-'n
■ Europe, we are proceeding without a n-»
concert and therefore we can mo;e cen
fldently predict complete satisfactions
for our demands from Turkey.”
