EX-SECRETARY FOSTER.
Has Abandoned Expectation of Being
ambassador to Turkey.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Ex-Secre-
tary j. w. Foster had long interview
this morning with Secretary Sherman
and Assistant Secretary Rockhill. He
then walked to the White House and
saw the President.
These movements were immediately
connected with the intention of the
President to send Mr. Foster to Tur-
key as a special ambassador to under
take the collection from the Porte of
the indemnities claimed by the United
States in behalf of the missionaries
for the destruction of their property
and hardships imposed upon them as
a result of the rioting last year in
Asiatic Turkey
After his interview with the Presi-
dent Mr.. Foster was asked the direct
question whether or not he was to go
to Turkey. He replied that he had sup
posed the declination of the Sultan to
create an Embassy in Washington
made it impracticable for the President
to nominate him as ambassador, and
that he had abandoned any expecta-
ton he may have entertained about
going to Constantinople. The creation
of a special envoy by Act of Congress
was an unusual proceeding, only war
ranted by great emergencies, and he
was not advised as to the view the
President would take of the sugges-
ton.
Mr.. Foster felt sure the President
would find a man of standing and
ability to represent our Government in
Turkey should Congress act favorably
upon his recommendation, and who
under proper instructions from Wash
ington would be able to bring about a.
satisfactory adjustment of the pending
questions
