The Dardanallas Ouestior.

It seems to be the general belief in Eu~
rope that Russia has finally secured from
the porte free passage for her warships
through the Dardanelles, and the press OF
portion Of Europe is very much excited
about it. But the great powers which for a
century have been using every means to
prevent Russia from having free passage
from the Black sea t. tho Mediterranean do
not appear to be IN hurry to take notice
OF the violation Of the treaty which pro-
hibits armed ships Of any nation, except
Turkey, from passing the Darda Giles with
out the express consent of the sultan. This
treaty was made in 1S4l, and was con-
frmei in London in 1871 and at Berlin in
1875
1t is true that Russia says that she has
not been granted permission to send her
war ships through the Dardanelles, and
the porte says the same thing. But per-
mission has been given tor the passage of
armed transports, and the difference be-
tween the characters of the two classes Of
vessels is so slight that it is probable that
Russia would interpret the permission she
has received as permitting the passage of
ASA wa ShAfo ~ bllO hcNSS1Atg AOI eeII1lUR
such ships through the straits should arise
The permission which Russia has forced
from Turkey would have produced pro-
found sensation throughout Europe had it
been obtained ten years ago. Now neither
of the governments concerned in the treaty
of 1S4l appears to be much troubled about
the matter, though it is probable that some
notice will be taken of it. Russia has a
much greater ascendency in Europe now
than when the treaty was made, and that
may account for the apparent indifference
with which the violation of the treaty is
| regarded. France and Russia are now close
friends, and it is noticeable that the French
press is not taking very active part
in the Dardauelles incident. England is
regarded as the protector OF Turkey, but
the English press seems inclined to ex plain
and excuse the sultan's action. The
Standard, according to our dispatches YES
terday, intimates that the sultan is irrItated
over the refusal of England to reopen the
| Egyptian negotiations. and says that it is
clear that the Dardaneles must either be
closed to all nations or opened to all. Its
mild way of treating the question indicates
that it is no longer a matter of much con-
sequence whether Russia's war ships have
the freedom of the straits or not.
Germany seems to be more wrought up
about the violation Of the treaty than any
one of the other powers. Her position is
that England must take the initiative in COM
pelling strict compliance with the treaty
Just what action will be taken, If any, is
not yet apparent.

There is some satisfaction in the admission
that he is open to conviction. The best way
20 produce conviction in him is to insist that
he shall be present at one CT the rain

or rubber coat. If he should get thoroughly
drenohed he would probably be satisfied
that science has succeeded in shaking water

Advantage of Cross Eyes.

During rush in trade large firm in Boston
employed as an assistant clerk a young man
who was exceedingly cross-eyed, says the Dry
Goods Retailer
One day half grown boy came into the store,
and after looking around, pricing first one
thing and then another he finally started to 20
out of the door.
AT this moment the new clerk touched him
lightly on the shoulder. and. inviting him to
come TO the back part Of the store, said to him
politely: "Obhge me by giving me at ones the
socks that you have in your back pocket
How do you know have any socks in my
back pocket?" demanded the boy in a bold
tone.
Il saw you put them there, said the clerk.
very gently
The boy looked up in the young mans face in
utter amazement.
Are you looking at me now" he asked esrn
estly. DO you see me this very minute?'' he
asked, still more earnestly.
'Ot course do, ~ replied the clerk.
GOOD Lord. mister" cried the boy, with q
blanching face; here's your socks"
And with a bound he was out of the back
door, over the fence and away, having learned
a lesson concerning all seeing eyes which is to
be hoped he may never forget.

A San Francisco dispatch says the insur-
gents having won in Chile there is a strong
probability of an insurrection IN Mexico.
Diaz, it is claimed, is not more popular in
Mexico than Balmaceda was in Chile, and
there is a strong feeling against him
throughout Mexico. And the people ar e
particularly bitter against Diaz because he
married an American Protestant. But Diaz
will not be taken by surprise should there
be an outbreak. He understands the situa-
ton thoroughly, and at the first sign Of
trouble his army would be on the move.

Jacksonville is having pretty much the
same kind of fight with the Southeastern
Tariff Association that Savannah had with
the association Immediately after the big
fire in this city little more than two years
ago. The insurance rates have been adj
vanced in Jacksonville very considerably.
and the property owners of that city are
very naturally doing good deal Of vIgor-
Gus kicking. 1t seems that only about six
weeks ago the rates were advanced 25 per
cent. and the additional advance, the prop
erty owners think, is unjust, particularly as
the city authorities have made quite an ad-
dition to their fire department. The tariff
association. however. does not allow senti-
ment to interfere with business, and it pur-
poses, doubtless, TO get some Of the money
back which it has lost in the Florida me-
SroPe-2s. Misfortunes seldom come siugly.

A Partisan Minister.

The reported disappearance of our minis
ter to Chile, Mr.. Egan, is explained in our
dispatches this morning, but there are
stories aaoat concerning his conduct in
connection with his office that need
explanation. From the very begin
ming of the civil war stories reached
this country that he was warm parti-
san Of the dictator, Balmaceda, and that
he frequently took occasion in public
places in Santiago to defend him
and assert that he was the best friend Chile
ever had. 1t was also said that Egan's son
was the recipient of fat favors from Bal
maceda.
| II these stories are well-founded they ex-
plain the failure of our government to get
correct Information relative to the strength
of the insurgents, or anything else that was
going on in Chile.
All along, relying upon Egan's dis
! patches the government was under the i'm
preston that the insurgents were weak, and
that they were not sustained by popular
| sentiment. II the government had re-
| ceived correct information it is highly prob
able that its action with respect to the Ing
surgents would have been altogether differ
ent.
But there are American consuIs at the
different Chilean ports. Did not the govern
ment call on them for information II it had
doubts about the correctness Of that which
it received from Egan! 1t ought to have
done 50 if it did not.
Before Egan's reported disappearance
some of his friends in this country attempted
to defend HIM, but nothing has appeared in
his behalf since the idea got abroad that he
accompanied Balmaceda in his fight.
1t will be interesting to hear what Egan
has to say in his own behalf, and it is
reasonable to suppose that he will endeavor
to explain his failure to keep his government
| informed OF the true state of affairs in Chile.

Tenn, negro was convicted Of stealing a
gold watch and a sum OF money from a
dying man in a boarding house. He was
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years.
1t was discovered the other day that the
woman who kept the boarding house stole
the watch. OF course the negro will be re-
leased, but what punishment ought to be

would have spent ten years as a coavict.

1t must surprise those dram shopkeepers
who persist in selling intoxicants on Sun

the Sunday law. They expected, doubtless,
that after he had made record he would

to be that kind of man. He handles that
500 fine with a skill that is positively
paralyzing to offenders who fail to learn
