THE PORTE RISES TO EXPLAIN.
The Porte has sent circulars to the
Powers in regard to the passage
through the Dardanelles of vessels of
the Russian volunteer fleet. In this
communication the Porte says for
several years past vessels of the Rus
sian volunteer feet have been run
ming between Odessa and Vladivo-
stock. These ships, being under the
commercial flag of Russia, were
granted free passage of the straits.
1t was found, however, the Porte's
note continues, that vessels were
sometimes carrying soldiers, and
these ships were detained owing to a
mistake as to their real character.
The POrte's instructions, the note
adds, given to officers on duty at the
Dardanelles to prevent any further
detention of vessels of the Russian
volunteer fleet, were wrongly con-
strued by the newspaper press to be
violation of existing treaties. The
note concludes with the remark that
no new measure has been adopted
and that the old ones continue in
force.
THE CATHOLIC co NGRESS.
Although the Italian Government
has withdrawn its opposition to the
holding of Catholic congress in
Rome next week, it is said that the
authorities will attempt to rigidly
prevent any formal expression of
opinion adverse to the unity of the
Italian kingdom, and in favor Of ohe
temporal power of the Pope. Italy
has so strongly protested against
such utterances in Spain and Ger
many and other countries that she
cannot, with any consistency, permit
similar language in the Italian CAPT
tai. Notwithstanding Italian author
ity, however, the congress is expected
to speak plainly, even if moderately,
in favor of the restoration of the
papal sovereignty over a portion at
least of the former states of the
Church. The Pope, it is said, will
require this whatever the result,
