FOR PASSAGE OF DARDANELLES
Russia Has Not Asked Consent Of
Great Britain.

London, Feb. 13.-The question of
the passage OF the Dardanelles by the
Russian Black Sea fleet has not been
raised at the foreign Office here, where
the following statement was made:
Russia has not asked permission
for the passage of wafships through
the Dardanelles. Ii Russia should at
tempt any such thing without asking
permission il would constitute a
grave breach OF the treaty on the sub
iect"
1t was said at the foreign office
here that the assertion of the NOvoe
Vremya of st. Petersburg that the
Japanese feet in its attack on Port
Arthur, used Weihaiwei as base
for its attack on Port Arthur, is abso-
lutelv untrue.

at Port Arthur.

London, Feb. 12.-There is a marked
lull in war news. No confirmation has
been received here of the reported at
tempts of the Japanese TO land troops
near Port Arthur Captain Tamari. the
Japanese naval attache, discredits
these rumors He said
The Japanese will never attempt
to take Port Arthur from the sea
alone"
The captain attaches the greatest
importance TO the seizure OF Masam-
pho. Korea, as giving Japan command
OF the straits of Korea and preventing
junction of the Russian squadrons.
He thinks from the plans previously
arranged that the main Japanese
squadron is still in the vicinity of Port
Arthur, probably preparing for another
attack.

q Bishop

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Surrounded
by the bishops of the Protestant Epis-
copal church, accompanied by host
of clergy, and amid the most elabor-
ate ceremonial, the Rev. DIR. David
II. Greer was consecrated as coadjutor
bishop of the diocese of New York.
The ceremony was in st. Bartholo-
news church, of which DR.. Greer is
rector.
1t was little after 10 o'clock when
the bishops, led by Bishop Potter of
New York, left the parish house and
proceeded across the small inclosure
to the church. The bishop-elect was
escorted by his presbyters, the Rev.
Drs. Morgan Dix and w. r. Hunting
ton, and behind him the visiting
clergy, and then the supplied choir
of the church, singing a professional.
BY the time the head of the procession
entered st. Bartholomew the pews
had been filed by members of the
parish and visitors.

Really" said Horace, II sho{d not
have called myself particularly ex-
travagant." 4
Nobody ever does call himself par
ticularly extravagant." retorted the
professor; but no one with any re-
gard for the value of money would
have given a guinea for a worthless
brass vessel on the bare chance that
it might contain manuscripts, which
it did not"

Der, you said yourself the shape was
unusual. Why shouldn't 1t be worth

professor with his wonted amiabil-
ity, (which you are not. No, can

II really couldn't say-it's almost

the professor. (which would seem to
point to a Phoenician origin. And, as

A BOTTLE Of TROUBLE:

The professor came in shortly af-
terward, and Horace Immediately re-
quested five-minute conversation
with him in the study, which was
readily granted.
"Well," began the professor, as soon
as they were seated. 80 there was
something in the brass bottle after
all, then? Let's have q look at it..

For the moment Horace had almost
forgotten the bottle. oh" he said.

Just as anticipated. sir" said the
professor. 81 told you there couldn't

AN EXCELLENT COMEDY.
"Candida" One of the Richest Treats Q
 the Season.

Candida One of the Richest Treats of
 the Season.
 In Candida" as presented at the Hyperion last night by Arnold Daly and his splendid company, New Ha- ven audience was given one of the rich est treats of the season. There was ap- parently some apathy toward the pro- duction, and the audience was not nearly so generous as was deserving. Many local attendants upon most pro- auctions misguaged the calibre of Candida" and in consequence failed to witness this sterling play.
 The company, headed by MT. Daly, has been exceptionally well received in New York during their run, and the piece was naturally presented with clock-like precision. Candida" is q comedy in three acts and brim full of interesting situations, with dialogues of splendid English, which afford excel lent opportunities for the display of the histrionic ability of the members of the company. Of course, MT. Daily was the stellar light, but Dodson Mitchell as Rev James Mayer Morrell, Herbert Standing as MT. Burgess, Miss Dorothy Donnelly as Candida and Louise Closer as Prosper Proserpine were all very ex- cellent.
