Constantin ople under Turkish rule be
came the centre of vast system Of PUN
der and conquest. The city was enriched
by the spoils of Europe and Asia. A
large multitude gathered there. But its
legitimate commerce has been large. The
race which held this golden key of the
worlds commerce has been able 10 open
the store-house. They were like barba-
rians in possession of Il complicated ma
chine. The Sultans have simply wrung

In their rich palaces on the Bosphorus
No building. no work of art, no machine

rich sunlight Of that delicious climate,
and has enjoyed all the luxuries and beau
ties of the Golden Horn for more than
four centuries, has seen the current
of the worlds history flow by. and has
never contributed single blessing or ben

As free city, it might, like Venice of
old, or Hamburg in later-times, be the
centre Of a worlds commerce. The Greek

the merchants Of all countries would
gather there. The burdens that have
hitherto rested on all production and in
dustry in The Turkish Empire would then
be removed, and we might see a new

A Sensation i'm the Maryland Sen.

THE RAILROAD, CANAL, AND POLITICIANS.
The chief subject in the legislature today
was the Baltimore and Ohio railroad adjust
ment bill, which came up in the Senate TO-
gether with substitute by Mr.. Dennis, of
Somerset and its discussion proved one of the
most interesting events of the session. 1t was
the determination TO force a vote if possible
during the afternoon, but the debate was of
such an extended character that the matter
went over till this evening. when the substitute
was rejected by vote of Is to s. and the bill
was ordered to engrOssment. The vote was a
test, and the passage of the bill insured.
From l O'Clock until O'Clock i'm the after
noon three speeches were made, the speakers
being Senators McLane, Dennis and German,
when recess was taken until o'clock, when
the discussion went on. MI McLane spoke in
favor OF the bill, and in the course of his
remarks said some good words IOr the canal.
Senator Dennis created profound sensation
by declaring open war against the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal and its paramount influence,
not only in Maryland politics, but in its control
of the business interests of the people of the
state, and especially of the city of Baltimore.
He asked how the canal came to be i'm this
mailer: and what it had to do with settle
ment of the affairs of the Baltimore and Ohio
IailrOad? 1t was because the canal company
holds power in this state and in this senate
Mhlch makes any settlement impossible with,
upon it. [SenSatiOn.l
He said he saw no connection whatever be-
tween this settlement and the canal company,
but that power pervadeS this Senate and the
of this state; it makes and unmakes United
States Senators, Governors and other state
officers, Igreat sensation; and woe to the as
pirant to any position who stands in its way.
What claim, he asked has it on the state to
cause the state to cripple its own right arm,
which is daily and hourly working for the in
terest of every citizen of this state, and ma
king Maryland and the city of Baltimore pow
erful? He then reviewed the canal, and
showed how money had been sunk in it by
millions from the time it was first thought of
until the present day, and said that its future
was the hammer'and the aucti0neer's block,
i and the purchaser may be that other corpora
t0n. the Pennsylvania railroad.
Mr.. Dennis advocated a substitute of his
own as the basis of settlement, and opposed
the bill. While he was speaking Mr. German,
who is the president: of the canal company,
sat on the opposite side of the chamber, cold
and self possessed, and half the time amused
Once he smiled and ii attracted the notice of
Mr. Dennis. Mr.. German was, of course. the
observed of all observers, and his GOODNESS was
in striking contrast with the impaSsioned fer
vor of his opposite. When Mr.. German began
his speech expectation was on tip-tOe. He gave
cool steel in return.-[ annapolis Cor. BdttO

The Speaker.-The bill in relation to pay
ment of southern mail contractors.
Mr.. Conger.-ThenI object. We want more

Mr.. Bright insisted upon his motion. and
upon it the yeas and nays were ordered.
MIR. Dunnell suggested that the time which
would be wasted on the yeas and nays might
would compromise on the time.

Surface indications in Europe.

TALKING PEACE AND PREPARING FOR WAR.
The London Times Vienna correspondent
says Russia has notified the powers that the
treaty will be sent to them Immediately after
ratification, Russia having no reason to con-
ceal anything. This seems intended to re-
assure England that there is no secret under
standing. In the House of Commons last
night, NJ. G. w. Smith, first lord of the admi-
ralty, introduced the navy estimates. He
said that the present force was ample to man
every ship that could be commissioned. He
had come tOthe conclusion that il was not his
duty in time OF peace-.and, he hoped, of con-
crease of the estimates. The House then
passed all the estimates except those for dock
yards and stores, which were postponed. 1t is
stated that the admiralty have purchased, or
are about to purchase, a large japanese iron
clad, built on the Thames.
ROUMANIA WANTS HER LITTLE BILL SETTLED.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times telegraphS as follows: ''Roumania is
pressing Russia for the money due to the tele-
graph and postal departments, to private per-
sons for damages from bOmbardment, to the
Bucharest and GiurgevO railway company,
etc.
TURKISH CRUELTY TO CHRISTIANS.
The commander chief of the Greek army
has notified the minister of war that the Turks
have committed unparalleled cruelty on Chris
fugitiveS have entered Greece.
The British men -Ofwar move at liberty i'm
Turkish waters. The Porte has given no or
ders to prevent British vessels from passing
the Dardanelles. 1t is said that France will
endeavOr to bring about compromise on the
Eastern question without any partition OF radi-
cal change of territory.
