THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1898—14 PAGES, TURKISH MINISTER CALLS Ali Ferouck Bey Formally Presented to the President. Exchange of the Usual Addresses Expressive of Friendship—A Glittering Ceremonial. Ali Ferouck Bey made a formal call upon the President of the United States at 10 o'clock this morning and presented his cre- dentials as the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the Sultan of Turkey to the United States. He was ele- gantly attired in rich robes, and displayed numerous jewels and decorations. He was accompanied by the venerable Secretary of State, by whom the formal presentation was made. The ceremony took place in the blue parlor of the White House and was marked by the exchange of the usual ad- dresses of friendship and good will. The Turkish minister said: “Mr. President: I have the honor to place in your excetlenc hands my predecessor's letters of recali and those by which his im- perial majesty, the sultan, my august mas- ter, has deigned to accredit me to your ex- cellency in the quality of envoy ‘extraor- dinary and minister nipotentiary. “His impérial majesty being desirous to the relations of friendship so happily the two countries drawn ll further strengthened, I shall ~ to the orders of iy august ign by devoting myself entirely to this task. “I venture to hope that your excellency will ord to me the same _ benevolent treatment with which you have honored my predecessor, and which is indispensable to me to render successful the mission which has been intrusted to me. “I am especially pleased, Mr, President, S to your excellency the sincere an people.” 2 ent replied as foilows: ir.

I offer you my earnest co-operation toward the fame end, and extend to you, Mr. Minister, my personal good wishes, at the same time praying you to cenvey to his imperial majesty, the sultan, the expression of iny sincere wishes for his welfare and the hap- piness of his people Ali Ferouck Bey succeeds Moustapha Bey, who was calied home after a com- paratively brief sojourn in this city. The new minister arri here a few days ago and kept his movements so secret that his presence here was not generally know un- til today. os Orders Issued.

Mullowny continued the case until Monday, and Mr. and Mrs. Eppert were released or their personal bonds. ————__ Run Over. Yesterday morning a colored boy named Sylvester Terrell, ten years old, was run over by a country wagon near 2d and G streets northeast. The boy was playing in the street and the accident was the re- sult of his own carelessness. Policeman Hayden arrested the driver, Penn Richard- but as the 50 evidence did not sustain a charge of reckless driving the case was ismissed by Judge Kimball today. He was then charged with hauling garbage without a permit, and on this charge he was compelled to pay a fine of Se An Attachment, At the request of Prosecutor Mullowny, Judge Scott today ordered an attachment to be issued for the arrest of Robert L. Jones, who, it is alleged, cut Frank M. Bartels during a fight at Pennsylvania avenue and 7th street Friday evening last. Jones was arrested the same evening, but, it being represented to ‘Judge Scott that Bartels was not seriously hurt, the court at the request of Representative Living- ston, by whom Jones is employed, released him o his personal bonds. This morning Mr. Muliowny was informed that the con- dition of Bartels, who is at the Emergency Hospital, was much worse, and he then asked for Jones’ rearrest.

MR, HAWLEY'S EMERGENCY MEASORE Secretary Gage Criticised by Mr. Wolcott. ALASKA BILL TAKEN UP —_+—___. Again today were the galleries of the Senate crowded to the doors. Not an inch of space was left in any of the galleries and the corridors were packed with disap- pointed hundreds who vainly sought seats from which they might listen to the pro- ceedings. Rev. John K. McLean of the Pacific The- ological Seminary of Oakland, Cal., offered the invocation. Mr. Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, asked that the committee be permitted to sit during the sessions of the Senate from day to day, and the re- quest was granted. Mr. Frye (Me.) reported from the com- mittee on foreign relations the Senate reso- lution: “That the President be requested, if not incompatible with the public interest, to transmit to the Senate all of the con- sular correspondence relating to the con- duct of the war in the Island of Cuba, the condition of the people and other matters relating thereto.” Mr. Frye asked that the resolution He on the table until tomor- kpw, when he would ask for its considera- tion. ~ Mr. Hawley (Conn.) of the military af- fairs committee reported a joint resolution providing that, in any case of emergency, in which the immediate erection of any fort or fortification is, in the opinion of the Secretary of War, deemed necessary and urgent, where the legislature of the state is not in session, so much of the existing law as prohibits the erection of such fortufica- tion until the consent of the legislature has been obtained shall be suspended so as to authorize the construction of such tem- porary fort on the written consent of the owner of the land. Mr. Hawley asked for immediate consid- eration of the resolution, but Mr. Pasco (Fla.), desiring to examine it, objecteu, and it went over. Frye (Me.) inquired of Mr. Allen (Neb.) if he had any objection to the refer- ence of his resoluticn, offered yesterday, to the committee on foreign relations, that committee now having under consideration resolutions of that character. Mr. Allen consented to the reference of the resolution, saying he was satisfie. that the committee would promptly take action upon the subject matter. A bill authorizing cities and towns in the Indian territory to secure, by cundems.a- tien or otherwise, lands necessary for pub- lic improvements, and anotner to authorize the Shreveport Bridge and Terminal Cor- pany to construct and maintain a bridge across Red river, in Louisiana, at Shreve- port, weré passed. Mr. Walthall (Miss.) ve notice that on Thursday, April 7, at p.m., he would present resolutions in memory of his ‘ate colleague, Senator George. Sundry Civil Bill Reported. Mr. Allison (fowa) reported the sundry civil bill, and announced that he wont call it up for consideration tomorrow. Consideration was then resumed of the measure making further provision for a civil government for Alaska, the vending question being. upon a substitute offered by Mr. Hansbrough (Neb.), for a part of an amendment offered by Mr, Perkins (Cal.). At this point the floor was yielded to Mr. Wolcott (Col.), chairman of the committee on post offices and post roads, as he de- sired to make a statement. He made a re- markable and caustic arraignment of the Secretary of the Treasury on account cf the Secretary's treatment of a request made by Mr. Wolcott's committee. Mr. Wolcott said that on March 10 the committee cn post offices and post :cads had asked the Secretary of the Treasury for his opinion upon a postal savings bank system. As similar communication had been sent to the Postmaster General, and a courteous and extended reply in due time had been received, the views of the Secretary of the Treasury upon the gui tion were particularly desired by the mittee, as it was expected that some cpin- jon of value would be presented. To Return the Secretary's Reply. After waiting for an unusual time, the committee, Mr, Wolcott said, had received the Secretary's reply. “I have to report to the Senate,” said he, “that the ieply was of such a nature that I have been unanimously instructed by the committee to respectfully return it. Before it was sent to the committee it was given to the newspapers. It was not of a character in consonarce with the importance of the subject. The whole circumstances of the case are most remarkable. I will not ask here to have the letter of the Secret: read. It was flippant and impertinent, and has no place on the records of this body.” Mr. Wolcott then asked that the entire correspondence on the subject be printed, and it was so ordered. —-o+—_____ DECLINE IN DEATH RATE. Report of Health Office for Week End- ing March 26. There occurred in this District during the week just ended 104 deaths, of which 54 were white persons and 50 colored. This was a total decrease of 12 deaths, apd a decline in the average annual death rate from 21.5 to 19.3, as compared with the report for the week preceding. The rate per 1,000 for each of the races was: White, 14.7, and colored, 29.3. Zymotic and consti- tutional diseases remained about station- ary, being responsible for 15 and 21 deaths, respectively. There was a decrease !n each 02 the three remaining classes, local, de- velopmental and violence, from 67 to 63 in the first, 8 to 5 in the second and 6 to 3 in the last. The more contagious diseases were in almost total abeyance, diphther® being the only disease of this class which caused any deaths. Five persons died with this malady. as compared with 3 in the week previous. A decrease in the mortality from the dit- ferént diseases occurred as follows: Apo- plexy, 3; acute lung diseases, 5; consump- tion, 2; heart diseases, 2, and kidney trou- bles, 3.: There was an increase in fatal cases of nervous disorders of 3, diarrhoeal diseases 1 and malignant growths 2. These increases and decreases are based upon comparison with the report for the week erding March 19, 1898. There were 62 cases of scarlet fever in isolation at the close of the last report. New cases reported during the week, 16; relieved from quarantine, 11, leaving 78 cases in 38 placarded houses at this time. ‘Thirty-four cases of diphtheria were re- ported as under treatment last Saturday. Eight new cases were placed in quarantine and 15 patients were relieved therefrom. Twenty-seven cases of this disease were cenfined in 18 premises at the close of this report. ‘The weather conditions for the week were as follows: Mean temperature, 51 de- grees; mean actual barometer, 30.03; mean relative humidity, 81; winds northeasterly and moving at 7 miles per hour. The me- teorological conditions seem to bear a close relationship to those of last week. ——.

TO HONOR CAPT. ‘SIGSBEE A Reception to Be Held atothe «Arlington Hotel. ok > f Officers of the Geographic: Seciety to Have Charge of All the Arrangements, 4 Being lionized as the hero of the hour does not affect in any way the customary amiability, level-headedness: and: simplicity of Captain Charies D. Sigébee,iand while he naturally appreciates all the many ex- pressions of esteem and high regard which reach him from all directions the effect goes no further. He will be given an op- portunity to realize more fully the senti- ment in which he is held next Saturday evening, when a reception in his honor will be given in the parlors and ball room of the Arlington Hotel. The arrangements for this testimonial have not been completed, but the fact that they are in such com- petent hands is an assurance that they will be satisfactory to everybody. The Committe in Charge. The committee in charge represents the National Geographic Society, of which Prof. Alexander Graham Bell is president, and consists of Col. Henry F. Blount, Prof. W. J. McGee and Mr. Charles J. Bell. The reception will be entirely informal, and it is intended that every one who desires to do so will be given an opportunity to shake hands with the gallant commander of the Maine. The | board of managers of the National Geographic Society will receive the guests and will be assisted by Miss E. M. Bell, Mrs. H. F. Blount, Mrs. F. V. Coville, Mrs. W. H. Dall, Mrs. D. T. Day, Mrs. Henry Gannett, Mrs. G. K. Gilbert, Mrs. A. W. Greely, Mrs. John Hyde, Mrs. W. J. Mc- Gee, Mrs. C. Hart Merriam, Mrs. H. G. Og- den and Miss E. R. Scidmore. While the general public will be welcome, over a thousand invitations will be sent out to prominent persons, including the Presi- dent and his cabinet, and others distin- guishéd in official Hfe. The parlors will be appropriately decorated with the na- tional colors and flowers, and it is the in- tention of the committee to cecure, if pos- sible, the co-operation of the Navy Depart- ment authorities to the extent of ordering the United States Marine Band for duty at the reception, it being thousht that na- tional music such as will characterize the occasion could most fittingly be rendered by the national band. Called on the President. Capt. Sigsbee spent a large part of yes- terday at the Navy Department, spending a covsiderable time in consultation with Sec- retary Long. When the department closed for the day, Secretary Long walked over with Capt. Sigsbee to the White House and presented him to President McKinley, who gave him a cordial welcome and expressed his appreciation of Capt..Sigsbee’s conduct when disaster overtook his vessel. Capt. Sigsbee left the Executive Mansion with Secretary Long in the latter’s carriage. He spent the evening quietly at home with his family, receiving a few callers, among them being Mr. Justice Brown of the United ates Supreme Court, who wished to shake hands with a man who could write such a message as Capt. Sigsbee sent when the Maine was blown up. , ——— CONDENSED LOCALS. Rachael Robinson, colored, was sentenced to six months on the farm by, Judge Kim- ball today. She was arrested in a South Washington alley yestentay, for immoral ecrduct. “When did you get out?” James Morgan was asked by Judge Kimball this morning. “Three days ago,” he answered. “And why didn’t you leave the city?” “Because it was too wet." 1: “I arrested him last night for begging.” was the pollceman's complaint. «Morgan was given thirty days. This morning, about 9 9’¢l > motor car No. £5 of the Metropolit tread Com- pany collided with a milk wagon at, 414 and K streets southwest. R. Harrison, driver ef the wagon, was ‘slightly injured. He was taken to his home, No. 488K stfeet, by friends. ‘The ‘season for game closes tomorrow. After this month teal, ducks, snipe and plover will be about the only local game allowed to be sold. Snipe are about as plentiful as usual in this section, and a few of the spring ducks are being killed. — + Monumental and Relief Association. An organization, to be known as the Mcnumental and Relief Association, to «ct as an auxiliary to the organizations work- ing for the erection of a monument to the memory of “the lost of the crew of the Maine,” and to succor the starving recon- centrados in Cuba, has been formed, with James W. Poe as chairman, J. M. Lee as secretary and Rey. J. E. Johnson as chap- lain. It is arranging for a public benefit meeting, to be addressed by senators, rep- resentatives and others at an carly date, the proceeds to be applied to the fund for the foregoing causes. It will memorialize both branches of Congress and the Presi- dent on the subject of Cuban independ> ence. Seat ee as Progress of the Voting.
