bound to respect that right. They di- vide such blocSades into two classes simple or defacto and public. The lat ter class is defined as one where the investment Is not only actually estab- cation of the fact Is made to neutral powers by the government or officers of state declaring the blockade.f Such notification, if Is added by the same authorities, is considered binding not only upon neutral state but also upon its citizens. The result Is to throw the burden of proof upon the captured yes sels seized while attempting to vnter blockaded port. The blockade is held to be in force until formal notification of it's withdrawal has been received.
 The exact date of the issuance Of the blockade notice. 1t is held, will be of the utmost importance since d ves- sel sailing for blockaded port m ig norance of the fact that it has been blockaded has been held not liable to condemnation. A treaty of 17ai between Great Britain and the United States made this specific provision and proc lamation issued in Washington de- claring blockades during the civil war follow this theory. It has been the general international rule, it is said, for neutral vessels in ports to be block aded to be allowed at least 1 . days aft CT which the blockade IS announced in which to leave those ports with rargo. After that time they are subject to seizure.

 The Glendonyn family was not founded, however by Owen Glendower. for before hs day members of the family had set tied in Scotland, where their history is 'n part the history of that country.
 Like the resourceful people that they have ever proved themselves to be. the family claim a wide orthography as to the name. They have no narrow, con Ire cted views on the subject.

 To Le G. C., who asks for the correct spelling of the name Carothers or Car rrthers:
 Carothers and Carruthers are the two ways of spelling the same name Car rrthers was the original form. The name is found in Scotland many years ago in that form as the name of q hamlet in Middlebie, Dumfriesshire.
 Ir the early days both spellings were Used by the same persons interchangeably. arG it is only within comparatively recent tines that one form has been adhered to by any branch of the family. The srelling of this name was only an in- stance of the general disregard of fixed rules about spelling among the early col orists Even a simple name was spelled hal. a dozen different ways py as many different men who bore it. It is hardly to be wondered at that a name as compli- cated as Carothers. or Carruthers, should be spelled several different ways.

Berlin, February 27-(via London, 9:45 D. m.)-The Constantinople correspond ent of the Tageblatt, who witnessed the bombardment of the forts at the entrance to the Dardanelles by the British and French fleets. sent a dispatch dated noon February g, as follows:
 -Four hostile warships appeared at s O clock this morning before the entrance but the fire against the outer forts was weak. The enemy mine sweeping ves- sells could clearly be seen among the big armored ships. Nothing noteworthy hap pened up to 9 o'clock.
 saThe bombardment yesterday lasted fully eight hours. The Anglo French ships bombarded almost uninterruptedly the outer forts, Orhanie and Kun Kale on the Asiatic side, and Erthogroil and 6edd- El- Bahr on the European side, but were unable to silence completely any of them. although the ships finally ap- preached within short range of the forts and showered them with shells from their heavy artillery. Sedd- El- Bahr and Rum Kale particularly were subjected to a most violent fire.
 'In the afternoon rode with Turk fish brigade commander to Rum Kale and from q distance of half a mile watched the gallant fight of the forts until even ing. For hours the flashes from the II hostile warships, which lay at short in- tervals before the entrance to the straits. could plainly be seen with the naked eye.
 "The Turkish losses were remarkably small. There were a dozen dead in Sedd- El-Bahr and Kun Kale. The fire from the forts scored good successes Several hostil warships Including Agamemnon "a British battleship), were severely dam aged. One ship is reported to have caught fire"
