tive part in the war game
in the far east, was the
treaty of Paris, signed March 80, 1856,
and which marked the close of the
bloody Crimean war in which England
and France, as allies of Turkey, had
given the ambitious house of Roman
off a setback from which it never fully
recovered
The closing of the Dardanelles was a
stipulation practically demanded by
Russia at this time. Though Turkey
had virtually kept them closed to the
nations of the world when it was to
her interest to do so, Russia had found
that the Turkish fortifications offered
no resistance to Turkeys allies, and
Englands navy had played sad havoc
with Russian coast cities. The same
treaty provided for the demolishment
of Russia's fortifications and arsenals
at points on the Black sea, leaving the
nation virtually defenseless against
any invading force which might be
able to attack her in this weak spot,
as Turkey was liable to do at any time.
The peace of San Stafana, signed
March Z, 1913, ana Whlch marked the
close of the Russia-Turkish war of
1877, and the secret understanding in
reference to the passage of the Darda-
nelles forced upon the defeated sultan
by the car, would have virtually I'M
done all that was accomplished by the
earlier treaty had not England opposed
the settlement between the two coun-
tries and insisted upon congress of
statesmen representing the European

with dread. because of the shock TO the

CANAL THEIR SUBJECT.
President and His Cabinet Talk Over
That Situation.

Washington, March 1.-Important mat
tiers relating to the Panama canal were
under discussion by President Roosevelt
and his cabinet today. Attorney General
Knox and other officials of the depart
ment of Justice have under consideration
the title to the canal property which is
to be passed to this country by the Pan
anna canal company. but as yet they
have reached no conclusion. 1t was said
after the meeting that no money would
be paid by this government until clear
title to the property was obtained but
10 intimation was given as TO the length
of time which might elapse before a de-
ciSion was reached.
The entire subject of the canal and its
construction was discussed in addition
to the legal phases OF the question. 1t
is expected that the commission appoint
ed yesterday will get to work practically
Immediately. 1t is said TO be certain
that the committee will go to the 18TH
rus very soon to inspect thoroughly the
conditions and to start the preliminary
work of construction. In this connection
it was decided as heretofore indicated
might be the case, to countermand the
orders issued to the Third United States
infantry to go to the isthmus to relieve
the marines now on guard duty there.
For some time the marine detachment
will continue to guard on the isthmus.
This government is opposed to establish
ing two jurisdictions on the isthmus and
as the navy vessels must remain there II
was thought best to allow the marines to
continue to do land duty. 1t is the earn
est wish of the president and the MEM
bers of the cabinet that no unnecessary
delay should occur in beginning the work
on the canal, and it is their intention TO
press it with the uomost vigor.
