THE ili0RNiNG GUARDIAN
THE DARDANELLES DIFFICULTY
The war in the Crimea, begun illty
years ago, in which iron-clad sbips were
uncd for the first time very successfully
at the siege of Kinburn, was terminated
by the fall of Ssbastopul and [the peace
trusty of Pells March, 1356. Th xt trcsty
akected to settle some things that would
not stay settled. it was decreed that
Sehastopsl should not be again fortified;
that the Black Sea should be neutralized;
its waters and its purte thro 'rn open to
the mercantile vuerine oi every nation
and “perpetually iotcrdicted to the flax
of war of the powers possessing its coasts,
or of any other power." Russia subsequ-
ently noliiisd the powers that she refused
to be bound by these terms, fortified
Sebastcpol and made it absolutely lm-
prcgnahie. fortltlod other cities and ports `
on the Black Sea, built a powerful fleet
in the same waters and has practically

treaty of Paris, exceedingly galllng to
Russia, against which for half a century
she has ohafed in vain. Itie called the
Derdanellcs clause, and runs as follows
ills Maieety the Sultan, on the ae
part, declares that he le firmly resolved to
maintain forthe future the principle in
variahly established as the ancient rule of
his empire,and in virtue of which it has at
all times been prohibited for the ships of
war of foreign Powers to enter the Straits
ofthe Dardanellss and ofthe Buspborus
and that so long as the Porte is at peace
His Mejes'y will admit no foreign ship of
war into the said straits. And their
Mnjeetics (the sovereigns of the contrnct-
ing parties), on the other part, engage to
respect this determination of the Sultan
and conform themselves to the principle
abeve declared."
The situation now finds Russia with
perhaps one third of her entire naval force
locked upin the Black Sea. That force
may be at once greatly needed in the far
east, but how ie it to reach that distant
destination! The Sultan of Turkey holds
the Dardauclles. Britain, France,
Prussia, (now Germany) Austria and
Italy are bound with Turkey to prevent
the passage of war-ships between the
trcwning forts that sentinel the`Dar»
danellee and the Bosphorue. A short
time since the press reports stated that
Russia had applied to the Sultan for per-
mission to take the Black Sea fleet out
into the Mediterranean.
By the terms of the treaty of Paris it`
may be doubted whether the Sultan
alone, without the consent of the ether
signatory powers, could give the re~
Qllil'9d permission. There has been
much speculation in that regard. Since
the press report above alluded to Great
Britain has olcially intimated to the
powers concerned that she has no reason
to suspect Russia of any design tosend
warships through the Dardsnelles. This
is read as a mild intimation that Britain
will insist that the ships shall not pass.
Of course Russia ia hound equally with
the other signatory powers not to attempt
the passage, but we have seen how she
has set at naught other equally important
and binding cfauses of the treaty, and
we remember the maxim, “Necessity

France and qermany, who are parties to
the treaty, and perhaps Turkey also,

RUSSO JAPANESE WAR BEGUN
The dospatchee of yesterday tell that
Japan has precipitated the war by an at
tack of her torpedo liotilla upon the
Russian fleet near Port Arthur. This ac
cords with the forecast given in these
columns to the edcct that war has been
inevitable all along and that the clash o
arms might follow swiftly upon the
withdrawal of the Japanese Minisier
from St. Petersburg, which took place on
Saturday last.. Our readers were also lcd
to expect that Japan and not Russia
would strike the lret blow. Russia
rouzhtto gain time hy prolonging the
negotiations, wbilc it was clearly to
Japan'e interest to commence hostilities
bcfere the Russian reinforcements now
hastouiug eastward by sea and land
could reach the scene of conlict.
It hee also been intimated in these
eeiumas, that while there has been a con-
dlent expectation of a nen-
oral engagement between the two
hostile ilsets early in the war, it might be
the Ruasaiail Wiley to evade a naval
hattls and keep the fleet under shelter of
the forts at Port Arthur and Yiadlv-
oatock. Our reason for this supposition
was that the Russian fleet in the east is
divided, the hulk of it being at Port
Arthur while three or more powerful
shipaarcat Vladivoatock, more thana
thousand miles distant tn sailing dis-
tanee. To bring the two squadrons to-
gether would involve the ciruuuinavi-
lation of the Korean peninsula, travers-
ing the Komen Straits, which would be a
perilous undertaking. The Japanese
Admiral, with full command of the strait
just named, as well as the Yellow Sea
will doubtless use his utmost etfortsto
prevent the Russian squadrons effecting
a junction, and to overwhelm each
in turn by superior force.
The drst accounts of the naval lghting
at Port Arthur come by way of St.Peters-
hurg and are confusing and contradictory
