For some time past there has been
more or less talk here, which has all
ways been traceable to a very few dis
gruntled individuals. to the effect that
the administration is dissatisfied with
Mr. Terrells conduct at COnstantinople,
but it can be stated authoritatively
that no charges have been lodged with
Mr. TerrelFs superiors, consequently no
official notice can be taken of this kind
of talk. On the contrary it is said
that the forthcoming volume on foreign
relations, ia that portion devoted to a
recital of events in Turkey last year,
will include q mass Of unsolicited testi-f
monials BY the American missionaries
stationed in Turkey, extolling the min
