THE D.lRDANELLES.

The old gates Of Janus wore ope ned
when Rome was at war; and their mod
crn prototypes, the Dardannclles straits,
are open only when a state of war makes
treaty stIpulations void, and the Porte
deems it to be necessary TO admit his
allies through them to protect his capt
toll. The accounts we have are that they
are now open for the passage Of the
British and French fleets.
The DardanclIes, from which the
strait, or Hcllespont, derives its name,
are four strong castles built opposite to
each on tn" European and Asiatic coasts;
and the keys of Consta'inople. Two OF
these castles, the old castles; were raised
by Mahommed H., soon after the CON
quest of Constatinople, in 1888; the
other two, the new castles, were built
in the middle oithe seventeenth century
to protect the turks against the Venitains.
The latter command the entrance to the
Hellespont, and the distance from each
is about two miles and quarter; in four
hours sail up the strait are the old cas-
ties, which are about three quarters Of a
mile apart. These are we'll mounted
with formidable batteries. All along
the European shore to the Marmora, the
aspect Of nature in its ruggedness cor
responds with the frown of the guns, but
the scenery on the AsIatic shore is beau
tliul The region abounds, too, in
places famous in classic story. Here 1t
was, Leander paid his nightly visit to
Hero; here the Inflated hosts of Xelxes
crossed on bridge of boats, here Soly-
man crossed on bare raft; and in mod
ern times, here Byron swan irow Sestos
to Abybos.
These famous straits have been more
than once passed. In ITO, the Russian
squadron, under Ell phistone, appea red
before the tower castles; and the admiral
actually went by without damage. But
the other ships did not follow HIM, and
he returned with drums and trumpets
sounding. A British fleet under Admir-
al Duckworth, forced their passage in
1907. Duckworth, in his dispatch to his
government, giving an account of this
fact, acknowledges that he ran narrow
chance. He set sail on the morning of
the 18th of February. At a quarter
before nine, the whole squadron, under
tremendous fire, had passed the outer
castles; at halfpast nine the leading ship,
the Campus, inferred the narrow pas
sage ofSestos and Abydos, under heavy
connonade from both castles, receiving
a stone shot OF 800 pounds weight. Each
ship, as it passed, had to endure this

fore Constatinople until the Sd of March
when his squadron often ships returned.
In this interval, the Turks had been so
busy that the castles We're made 'doubly

his dispatch, expressed his mostly lively
sense OF his good fortune, and admits
that had the Turks been allowed week
longer, sit would have been a very
doubtful point whether a return would
lay open to him at ALL" He lost 10
killed and 335 wounded. The Turks
were so indignant at the escape Of the
British fleet that they believe the Gov
ernor Of the Dardannelles was brbed by
Duckworth, and beheadcd him.
Tie DardannellcS are said to be in
such formidable condition as to be i'm

JEWISH OPPRESSION REvIvED.-Bv
the late arrival from Europe we learn
the fact that the Austrian government
has signalized itself by backward step
in civilization. It has restored disahlli-
ties which the onrbarism of the middle
ages imposed upon the Jews, and which
were only removed by the revolution of
1913. The Austrian government seems
determined that no benefit shall accrue
to any class of its subjects from that
revolution. Hereafter, the Jews in
Austria are forbidden to hold real estate
in their own name, but all property of
that desert ption to which they lay claim
must be registered in the name OF Chris
tians.

GRAIN TRADE WITH ENGLA ND.-A
correspondent OF the London Times cor
reefs some grain statistics recently pub
llshed in that paper. This corresron-
dent asserts that the United States sup.
plies the largest quantity, and proves it
thus
Russia sends 1,301,G49 quarters, OF
which 1851 are wheat; but upon
looking at the importation from the
United States Of America. and turning
the hundred weights into quarters, you
will find America bears Off the palm.
One cwt. represents 3 or 3-lOths Of a
quarter, and therefore $500 ,069 cwts.
represents 7SG,02O-7 quarters, which,
added to the amount OF grain mentioned
in the return, make total of 1,437.-
900 quarters, being 1876, 247 quarters
more than the importation from Russia.
OF this quantity, also, 1,2C9, 589 quar-
tiers are wheat, against 1851 quarters
only from Russia. America is not only
our best custosler for our manufactures,
but she sends us more Of what we want
than other countries thus obeying one
of the inevitable laws Of trade.

could operate with force OF 100000

to the Caucasus. In case of great uar,
Russia could operate, by means OF her

guns. This is the estimate OF :, JUS ian

New MExIco.-We find several items
Of news in "A letter to The Ohio State
Journal, dated Santa Fc, Sept. 30.
The election CT dclegates to Congress
took place on the 9th of SEPTEMBER
the candidates being Governor Lane and
Padre Gallegos. About 10000 votes
were cast, and the result so close that
Congress will have to decide which one
Of them is entitled to the seat. Padre
Gallegos was one OF the Priests suspen-
ded by Bishop L'Amy for living IN open
violation OF the rules oil the church, and
the contest between him and Governor
Lane was really an issue between those
in favor Of .Hc,cicDn customs and those
in favor of the reforms carried out 10y
the American Bishop. The excitement
during the election was very great. The
new Governor Merriwether, and the
Chief Justice Davenport, were hung IN
ehgy at the top of the flag staff in the
Plaza at Santa Fe.
The feeling between the American
and Mexican population is worse than
ever. No man thinks Of going without
his firearms by day, and presume there
is not single American in the territory
but sleeps with his pistols under his
pillow at night.
LATER The election for delegates
to Congress from New Mexico has re-
suited in the choice of Gallegos, by a
majority of539 over Ex-Governor Lane.
