England Enters a Vigorous Pro-
test Against Grant to Russia.

Constantinople. Jan. s.-Great Britain
has vigorously protested to the Turkish
gov ernment against the permission
granted in September last to four un-
armed Russian torDedo boat destroyers
TO pass through the Dardanelles, into
the Black sea. under the commercial
flag of Russia. The vessels were about
to start on the proposed trip.
The British note says the passage of
the Dardanelles by the torpedo boat de-
stroyers would be violation of the ex-
isting international treaties. and if Rus
sian warshiDs are thus allowed to use
the DardaneHes Great Britain will re-
serve the right to demand similar priv
iiges. The protest has caused irritation
in Russian circles and concern on the
part of the Turkish authorities, who fear
that other powers will follow the eK-
ample Of Great Britain.
