Five days will be spent in Honolulu
this summer by the merchant marine
training ship Newport, according to a.
letter to the Star-Bulletin from
F. s. Murray, commanding, who is su-
perintendent of the New York State
Nautical School. Hhe writes:
II am forwarding under separate
cover copy of the annual report of
the board Of governors of the New
York State Nautical School, which de-
scribes the work of this vessel.
Il take pleasure in announcing that
the Newport is expected to visit Ho-
nolulu this coming summer, during
her annual practise cruise. 2@. - ID.
During the 40 years that this
school has been in operation it has
been customary to spend five months
each year at sea.
Heretofore such cruises have been
made to European ports. Owing to
the disturbance abroad, the compile!
ton of the Panama canal and the Pa
nama-Pacific International Exposition,
it is advisable to alter the usual pro-
cedure.
Il enclose herewith tentative itin-
erary of the cruise.
1T is understood here that efforts
have been made to establish similar
schools on the Pacific coast.
The board of governors Of this
school, it's friends and supporters and
all who are connected with it, well
come the interest which may be taken
in it's work, that of training young Am
orleans to become efficient in hand

Capt. Warren o. Grace of the schoon-
er, on reaching shore, communicated
the incident and the last position OF
the schooner both to his owners and to
government agencies. Orders were
sent to the revenue cutter Seminole,
from revenue cutter headquarters, to
hunt for the derelict.
But the Itasca, on station at Lynn
haven inlet, within the Virginia capes,
went out. on the judgment of Capt.
Chiswell, when his wireless operator,
on the Itasca, picked up the original
aerogram telling of the abandonment
of the Warren Adams. While Capt.
Chiswell expected the Seminole. with
station at Wilmington, N. c., to get the
derelict. he considered that the big
schooner might be difficult to manage
and the Itascas help required But
the Itasca. although it was a hard job
towing in the yawing schooner after
she had been found, asked no help, but
came slowly and surely on her way

dentally, was one of the first evidences
that the Black sea had ceased to have
the sacredness of the harem. for Rus
sia forced Turkey to cede it. The

Batum is of considerable Importance,
not only on account of its own en-
vironment, but also because 1t is
way-port for considerable traffic to
Persia. Freight is transported by rail
to Baku, and ultimately across the
Caspian sea to the Persian port of
Enzili. This was the favorite route
for a large German traffic with Persia.
When Russia and England parti
toned Persia between themselves no
disposition was shown to interfere
with the German trade: but there is

trade. and the market may be obtained

great war known in history as the war

rights, and by the beginning of the
nineteenth century the notion of the
Black sea having the sacredness of the
harem was completely dissipated. But
in the background always was the ques-
tion, not of merchant vessels, but of
warships through the Dardanelles.
The principle of European diplomacy
was that the balance of power in the
Mediterranean required the Dardaneiies
and the Bosporus to be closed TO
ships of war. Most of the treaties en-
bodying this so-called public law pro-
vided that permission must be OBTAINED
from the sultan for warShlpS TO pass
the Dardanelles; but the maritime ma
tions usually proceeded on the theory
that necessity knows no law, and We're
ready to pass through the straits with
out the sultan's firman If their national
interests were claimed to be in danger.
It was in 1877 that British fleet at
anchor outside the Dardanelles. not
withstanding that the sublime porte
refused a frman, and protested, steamed
I'D the Dardanelles opposite CONSTANT
nople.
The cZar, a few years previously, had
declared that he was no longer bound
by the Paris treaty of 1856, which was
supposed to have neutrslfzed the Black
sea by closing it to vessels of war. This
was in the fall of 1870. when Prussia
was shattering the French empire. The
czar declared that ironclads had revo-
lutionized the conditions of naval war
fare. and Russian Black sea ports were
liable to unforeseen attacks by an
enemy forcing his way through the
straits.
Germany, or rather Prussia, was with
Russia in that declaration, and even
dismembered France was sympathetic
to it. England was most alarmed.
The outcome of Russia's declaration
was the modification of the Paris
treaty by the London convention OF
1871 under which the Black sea was
opened to merchant vessels of all ma
tions, but the Dardanelles were closed
to warships except as the sultan had
the faculty" of opening them in time of
