The Sultan has accepted the Russo-Aus- trian scheme of reform in Macedonia.
February 24.-The Times' Moscow cor- respondent states that arrangements are completed for 280,000 men to join the colours the moment they are called. Ex- ceptional activity is manifest in the Russian Headquarters Staff.

The plan is to select most of the men from among the present street braves, or ganize thern and give them instruction in police duties. Ouo of the Canton dailien in its issue of this morning deprecates the low standard set, and states that men are being selected without regard to either character or education. Ono matter which I understand will be given over to the police is the supervision of the lists of the occupants of houses. These lists are in most cases made incomplete to avoid taxes, and are often writton in such small charac- ters and posted so high on the wall that it is difficult for misrepresentations to be de tected. It will be the duty of the police to see that the lists are written legibly and posted in conspicuous and accessible places.
And so one of the first results promises to be rather for the benefit of the govern ment than the governed. The Divine Book says that no one should put new wine into old wine akins. It is difficult to see

Dear Sir, What is to prevent un-regis. tered architects making plans for contrac- tors, and then securing for their designs the signature of one of the gentlemen whose names appear on the Government little list, 'cumsha' being, of course, under- stood?
I do not suggest, for one moment, that any of the gentlemen at present registered would lend themselves to such a mean manner of scooping-in dollars; but I have heard it openly boasted by a certain in- dividual who does not hope to be put upon the list, that he can, in this fashion, do the Government one in the eye,' to quote his own words; and, given the necessary listed architect of little virtue, I do not see anything in the Act (the product of so much discussion and amendment), prevent him.
