DOWAGER EMPRESS FREDERICK CELEBRATES REE FIFTY-FOURTH RIMTHDAY
BERLIN, 21st Novembar,
The fifty forth anniversary of the birth of the Dowager Empress Frederick, mother of the present Emperor and ret born of Queen Vie toris of Great Britain, is being quietly cele brated by the royal family to-day. Plaps End hon made for anolaborate culebration of the event, but, owing to the beat that the courts of Europs are in monruing for the lato Czar, this programme was abandoned.
This morning the Dewiger Empress was the recipient of numerous presenta and telugcüme of congratulation, affectionate greatings coming from, Queen Fiatorin, the Price and Prinosen of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, PrinesLS Louise, Pricess Beatrice, and from Lord Bosebery and Mr. Gladstone.
BERLIN, 21st November.
The Emperor arrived at the eastle of Eup jobait from Potsdam this meening for the Turpare of paying a visit to his mother, the preas Frederick, on the ocasion of har dfty- fourth birthday. The visit was entirely an- exposted.
OPENING OF THE DARDANELLES,
LONDON, let Navember.
The St. Jamed. Qanette this afternnon, gives prominence to an article in which it says it is ru mored that rapprocheraéut' han taken pleas between Russia and England and that it is posi ble that the etraits of Dardanelless, which baro been closed to Russian and ether-mon-of-war sinen the signing of the treaty of 1841, which wsa.confirmed by the Parte treaty of 1856, will shortly be opened to `men-at-war of all nations. The Gareils paints out that the opening of the Dardanellan to foreign ships would have a disas trops effect apon England, and that it would Docésultats a great increase in the British Medi- terranean Яої.
It would gem that 145re is angla basis to-the report that the Dardaneller are to be open to the passing of Russian and other wen-of-war. and a dispatch from Odessa to the London Time at uiyht says that a number of troops from the military district of Odessa bave been ordorad to proceed to Vladivostock and from that Rus- sien war phat to the north-east of Korea.
It was asserted that these reinfornamenta nro dispatched to the East eptíraly òn nosount of the war between China and Japan. It should be added, however, that this is upl the firal time the reasels of the Possius volunteer fest have posed through the Dardanellea on their way to Vladivostock,
LONDON, 22nd November.
When interviewed to-day in regard to the re- port that England will senz open the Dardaneltes io Russian ships, a vary high official, who con sented to talk freely only of condition, that his zame was not allowed to become known said:
"Russia is England's natural ally for the simple reason that she can if she wishes be her mast dangerous riral.
Russia has prantically signified her intention of entering the Mediter razea, and it is absurd to think, after giving way, as she did yaara age, on the point of allow. ing an semed Bẹnt in the Alpok Ben at all. Eng- last should fortibly resist this not unreasonable demand.
"It is, howesar, true there is more than more foreign offee diplomacy in the present one. The new Czar is essentially his mother's són. resembling the Duke of York in temperament As well as physically, and in the case of nó nư teoratio & ruler this personal equation must have Important bearing upon faternational events.
The entrange of the Russian Best into the Mediterraneau, unpposing her to be England' ally, will not foot the latter's interneta one whit, but should she cose sa the ally of any other continental power the situation would be materially altered.**
