LONDON, Sept. 2.-The question of the
Dardanelles becoming passageway for
Russian war-ships to the Mediterranean
just now exceeds in interest even the war
in Chill. Well authenticated rumor says
that the foreign office will not stand idly
by and see the Mediterranean invaded By
Russian fleet under the guise of volun-
teer transports or otherwise. TIE plain
question seems to be whether England
will have to protest alone, or be sustained
In such course by the powers of the
triple alliance. No doubt is entertained
that Russia has been encouraged to her
present aggressive attitude by an under
standing with France, and feels safe, with
France as friend, against any unsup-
ported action on the part of Great Britain
The situation is becoming very grave and
is so regarded both in Berlin and Lon
DON
The Weak Point in EngIand's Case.
Lord Salisbury, it is reported, will
shorten his vacation in order to deal with
the problem, which is greatly compli-
Gated by the unprecedented GOODNESS of the
sultan toward the British government. A
ConstantinoJle dispatch says that the
French and Russian ambassadors have
been DINING into the sultan's ears the
fact that, with all England's charges
against Russia of intended aggrandize-
ment at the expense of Turkey, the only
great power that has actually taken
possession of any important part of the
sultan's dominions is England herself,
and that England, before protesting
friendship for Turkey, ought to give up
Egypt, if not also Cyprus.
Russia Wants Constanttnople.
The sultan therefore is for the time be-
ing prejudiced against England on &C.
count of Egypt, although also upholding
Bulgaria against Russian Vaccinations.
1t is remembered that the Crimeau war
was preceded by .Eneland's rejection of a
Russian proposal that England should
take Egypt and allow Russia to have
Constantinop:e, and there is an uneasy
feeling that Russia will fight again rather
than permit England TO held Egypt with
out compensation to Russia.

War on German Socialists.

LONDON, Sept. 2-The poiice of Berlin
are proceeding with great rigor against
the socialists. The orders to this effect
are reported to have come from the kaiser,
who received with much adherence the
news of the proceedings of the socialists
labor congress at Brussels, and especially
the speeches declaring war against society
as at present constituted. The socialist
leaders are being logged and watched, and
utterances capable of being construed as
contrary to law are made the ground for
rigorous prosecution.

THE MAN WHO SCARED THE NUNS

He VIII Probably Never BE Punished for
Lack of Identification.
NEW YORK, Sept 2.-The man who
sIole in among the sleeping nuns of the
Dominican convent in Brooklyn, at Nor
gan avenue and Harrison place, after mid
night Sunday morning, will not be pun

IDENTIFY well acquainted with the surround
ings of the convent" said the mother
superior "but the experience will never
be repeated again, as iron bars will be put
up at each window"
Why He Can't BE Identified.
The reason he cannot be punished is the
peculiar one that none of the nuns can
identify him. None of them is permitted
to look upon the face of man. Their
rules, it is stated, they observed, even in
the hour of their terror. On the first
alarm, the sister superior lit the gas in
the upper hall. The assailant's features
were, therefore, for some minutes clearly
visible to all of the sisters, had they chosen
TO have looked upon them But, accord
ing TO the statement of the sister superior
and tina of Father Fensgraf, they hid
their faces. Consequently none of them.
even had they had a chance to make the
attempt, could have iden titled the ru!fian.

POISONING AS A BUSINESS.
Old Hungarian Women Who Remove
Objectionable Persons for Cash.

LONDON, SPIT. "A dispatch from Pesrh
says that the poisoning mania is again
spreading in southern Hungary, and three
old women of the class of professional
PRISONERS have been arrested. 1t appears
that these women, for a compensation,
poison people whom other people wish to
get rid of. Their patronage comes chiefly
from wives who have got tired of their
husbands, and seek that method of di-
vorce There is reason to believe that a
multitude of persons have persisted IN this
way, and each of the women now arrested
is said to have had at least ten victims
Sensational disclosures are expected at the
approaching trial, as the prisoners are
charged with having practiced their ne
farious trade among some prominent fam
lilies of southern Hungary.
