TRAPPED BY TREATY
WHY RUSSIA'S BLACK SEA FLEET
rs LOCKED IN.
ALL EUROPE is INTERESTED
Every Great Continental Power q

the Dardanelles Closed
Against Warships.

--HE key that has seemingly

" ~ doors against Russia's
"a IL Black Sea fleet, and now
SL,C~ prevents 1t taking any ac-
w 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
of 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 fortincations offered
no resistance to Turkeys allies. and
England's navy had played sad havoc
with Russian coast cities. The same
treaty provided for the demolishment
Of Russia's Notifications and arsenals
ut 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.

Upon that Harrison let him on with
out further .-ging.
1t is a fact that a great deal more
money is used now in the legitimate
expenses of a national election than
was the case in the earlier days.
OF men now living, probably, Will
liam e. Chandler has had more ex-
perience in the management of nation
al campaigning than anybody else.
He was connected with the national re.
publican committee continuously from
1860 to 1880, and during good part Of
that time he was secretary of the COM
mittee. He was especially active in
the historic campaign Of 1876. Yet in
all his experience he never heard OF q
campaign fund approaching million
dollars.
Prior to 1880 the largest fund raised
was by Henry J. Raymond. chairman
of the committee in 1864. He is UNDER
stood to have had 100000 with which
to manage the campaign for the reelec-
ton of Abraham Lincoln. The fund
for Garfield's. election in 1880 was
somewhat larger than this, and in 1884
both national committees had funds
which were regarded as generous in
comparison with what had gone be-
fore.
The first fund running up into the
millions. however, was in 1888, when
M. s. Quay, as chairman Of the repub-
lican national committee. induced the
great manufacturers of the country to
contribute generously to prevent the
reelection of Cleveland. In 1892 the
democratic committee had q campaign
fund larger than the republicans had
in 1888. while the republican fund. was
very small. In 1896 and 1900. the re-
publican fund mounted high. but even
in those years with Bryan as candi-
date the democratic fund was larger
than any republican fund had ever
been before. The republican campaign
fund in 1904 promises to be small.

Turks were so taken By surprise -
the act of England that they did not
seriously oppose the entrance OF the
naval feet, but when. at the end OF
week, the fleet was forced to repass
the forts it was only at great loss
to the English.
There is nothing in Turkey upon
which money is SO lavishly expended
as upon the Notifications on both sides
of these straits. Gen. Miles inspected
these Notifications at the time OF his
visit TO Turkey during the Greco-Turk-
ish war. and says of the Notifications
along the Dardanelles:
For several miles after entering the
straits (from Constantinople) there are
NO forts. the channel being wide and
the banks high; but about ten miles
from the mouth the stream narrows and
there is sharp bend. Here are the
most formidable works. defending Con-
stantinople, consisting of ten forts on
the European side and five on the Ash
attic. All of these forts have been mod
ernized and mount the heaviest Of re-
cent guns. After passing this point OF
the Dardanelles the straits widen again
and there are no more Notifications
until the mouth is reached. Here again
the banks bristle with guns"
From the Black sea Constantinople
Is protected by the Notifications along
the Bosphoros. Should the Black sea
fleet attempt to pass into the AEGEAN
these are the first Notifications they
would encounter. Along either bank
of this 20 miles Of narrow waterway
are stretched IL forts. Some of these
are so Anticipated as to be comparative
ly useless. but many Of them are mod
ern and mount heavy ordnance. Some
of the older ones date back as far a.
the fourteenth century. The pictur-
esuue Roumelia Hissar, or Castle Of
Europe is among the most interesting
of all the forts along the Bosphoros.

The fleet which the various internal

cations have locked in the Black sea

Senator Hoar has two distinct points

comes to the front. First he looks at

then from the viewpoint Of the prac-
tical statesman Of to-day. Not in
frequently he finds that the results do

acts In accordance with the apparent
necessity Of the hour, while placing
himself on record according to his
judgment OF the verdict Of history
He Is getting to be an old man now.

probably not long remain on the pub
lie stage. He does not want the clos
ing years Of his career to be stained BY
what he fears his biographer may re-
gard q questionable act And SO he
places himself on record In such way
that after he Is gone there can be NO
doubt about his own personal views
without regard to what he may have
been impelled to do in national or
party emergency. In what he says

Senator Hanna, of course, was sue
cessful man of business, just as he was
successful In everything. else he under
took. but after he had accumulated
enough to insure his own finan-
cial permanency and the permanency
Of his family's financial interests, he
was Indifferent to whether any more
came to him or not.
He never cared for money in itself,
nor cared to pose as q man of wealth.
Wha. he did prize was the feeling Of
security and power which the possession
OF money gave him. And still more he
priced the fact that his own business
success enabled him to command the
confidence and friendship Of far wealth.
Ter men and through them to accomplish
results in business and politics which
would have been impossible for one
whose own business experience did not
inspire respect.
It was this reputation for business
acumen which stood him in good stead
as chairman Of the national republican
committee. but 1t had an even greater
influence upon his career in the senate;
for 1t gave impressive weight to, the
opinions he expressed in debate upon
such distinctively business propositions
as the ship subsidy bill and the Panama
