Commenting on the foregoing dispatch,
the Pail Mall Gazette says: I'VE regard
the news as true The result Of the
treaty is that the Dardanelles is now
the Southern outpost of Russia and that
Turkey is Russia's yassal. We presume
the British government will protest
against the treaty.
'"The information is plainly of the very
greatest Importance. The first intima-
ton was received four days ago. but we
withheld the announcement until the ar
rival of strong confirmation which we
received this morning. This brings Rus
STA into the Mediterranean with ven
geance and may necessitate the strength
ening of our fleet in those waters.
POLITICALLY, the effect will be great.

allied her own impotence against dis
orders both from within and without and
has decided to throw herself for safety

With them lies the chief blame for the
complete alienation of Turkey, though it
must be owned that it has been sedu-

policy at Constantinople."
Officials of the foreign office, when
questioned on the subject this after
noon, said they had no information re-
garding the statement telegraphed to the

stating an offensive and defensive ALI

been formed by treaty recently signed

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Senators Say it is the Greatest Diplomatic
Event in q Half Century.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-The AS
ISOLATED press dispatch giving the details
of the treaty reported to have been per-
fected between Russia and Turkey was
circulated on the floor Of the Senate to-
day and was read with expressions of
general interest, especially by the mem
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
tons. Senator Davis expressed the sem
timents of majority of the committee
when he said: IF true, this is the most
diplomatic event which has occurred in
the past fifty years. 1t means that Rus
STA can move armies across the Turkish
border. Such treaty would represent
immediate settlement of the Armenian
question, and if France has also entered
into the alliance, as appears probable,
the result would be that the feet of
those two countries would virtually con-
troll the Mediterranean, and that means
more than anyone can now, foresee. 1t
also means that England will have some
thing to DO besides bullying Uncle Sam"
Senators Morgan. Lodge and Cullom
read the report with avidity and Ill re-
marked upon the vast Importance of the
news if it proves 20 be true.
