THE CONTROL or CANALS.


1t is interesting TO observe that at the
very time when Prussia is forcing
through the German imperial legislature
an act impairing the freedom of use OF
German inland waterways. both natural
and artificial. the lnterparllamentary
Congress at Brussels has begun It's trans
actions with the unanimous adoption OF
declaratio in favor Of the neutraliZa
ton of all interoceanic canals and
straits. The Strait OF Magellan is cited
as one which should. the congress thinks,
be thus neutraliZed, and the status Of
the Suez Canal is mentioned as the
model for adoption in the cases Of the
others The latter circumstance is
gratifying to Americans who sympa-
thiZe with the aims of the InteTparlia
mentary Congress. since it is a reminder
that this country has anticipated the
recommendation of that body by apply
ing to the Panama Canal in advance
the neutrality rules which were pre-
scribed for the Suez Canal by the Con
StantinGple convention Of 1883.
The proposal of the congress seems,
indeed. reasonable and Just SO far as the
great interoceanic highways are con
cprned England and America have
cheerfuIly adopted il at Suez and Pan
anna. and we should expect Chill To do
the Same with her great strait whore
ever ii is SO narrow rs not TO be reck-
oned a part 0f the high seas. and GrePce
might not object to the rule at C0rinth
The Dardanelles and BoSporus might
also he neutFalized. since the two seas
which they connect are truly interna-
tional But what would Germany say
to such treatment of her canal between
the North Sea and the Baltic? It con
meets parts Of the high seas as truly
as does the SueZ or will the Panama
Canal The same IS to he said of
Frances Canal du Midi, or could be
said of It II 1t were a canal for sea going
ships. and the canal which Russia is
building from the Baltic to the Black
Sea will answer to the same description
1t might even be argued by some that
ship canal from New York to Buffalo
should be neutral lized. since it gave ac-
cess from the high seas TO an interna-
tional body Of water. though we should
scarcely look for the acquiescence of
New York or the United States i'm that
view
There is nothing in the proposal of
the Interparliamentary Congress. how
ever, to interfere with n proper police

THE TURKISH CONFESSIONS.

THE TURKISH CONCESSIONS.
There is cause for sincere gratitica-
ton TO all the world and particularly 80
The United States in the announcement
that the Turkish government has ex-
empted from the provisions Of the Otto
man law all foreign institutions of Il
religious. educational or benevolent
character. so that they will be freed
from certain embarrassing restrictions
which were formerly placed upon them,
and 50 that they may hereafter hold real
estate. This IS, We say, particularly
gratifying TO the United States, because
of the number-three hundred or more
of American institutions which will
profit from the new order. and also be-
cause this action is the direct result OF
the persuasive and persistent urging or
the American Ambassador, Mr., StrauS.
1t is not inappropriate that the Turk
ish government should thus demonstrate
its progressive and enlightened char
acter in response to American appeals.
since America has done so great a work
in Turkey. We doubt if any other
foreign nation has planted 50 many
beneficlent institutions in that empire.
aud we are sure that no other foreign
institutions have done as much for Iuf-
key as have those of America. The Col
iege for Girls at Constantinople is doing
a wonderful work for Turkish woman
hood. while Robert College has been the
very birthplace, nursery and training
school of those aspirations Of freedom
and progress which first emancipated
Bulgaria from Turkish tyranny and
then moved the Turks themselves to
throw off the fetters of ancient desp0t-
ism and darkness and place themselves
abreast of the constitutional liberalism
and progress of the civilized world.
