/ President Mckinley was not feeling well
today, but remained in his office receiving
and talking to all visitors Many of his
callers, however, noticed his indisposition
| ard shortened their calls The Presidents
| face is slightly flushed, and he gives evil
dence of too much confinement to his office
| and too much hard work. It Is matter
| OF fact that the President has worked
day and night this week and has not been
out for exercise. The weather has been
SO pleasant that the Presidents friends
think he ought to have laid aside some
| OF his work and taken a daily ride or
drive. Confinement to office from o'clock
| in the morning Until IL o'clock at night
Is sure to tell on the health Of any man.
It is thought that the President viii be
urged to take more outdoor trips and to
| breathe more of the fresh air. If he does
not do so his health may be AFFECTED to a
greater extent.
More Vigorous Turkish Policy.
One of the most important delegations at
the White House this week had long
talk with the President this morning The
result may be that this country may adopt
a more vigorous policy with Turkey in the
destruction Of American property and
outrages generally. The delegation con-
sisted OF ex-Secretary Foster. Everett P.
Wheeler. VIM. E: Dodge, Darwin P. James.
Col. Hopkins of New York and DR.. Barton
OF Boston. Tney represent the various
church organizations and missionary So
clet1es which have interests in Turkey and
which have presented claims against that
country. 1t Is understood that the delega-
ton made a strong showing Of the indiffer-
ence of Turkey to the demands of this
country, and expressed the hope that the
PRESIDENT would push, matters as speedily
ton were instrumental in securing the ap-
pointment of DR.. Angel as minister to
turkey, and rely upon him to carry out
Whatever Instructions are given him by
this country.
The delegation has no knowledge of the
talk that Charles Page Bryan is to be sent
TO Turkey and DR. Angel transferred to
China. In fact. they know that nothing of
the KIND Is to be dome unless it is hereafter
arranged. 20
The delegation was such a strong one,
and presented the facts SO -forcibly. that ii
much time in having Instructions sent to
DR.. Angel that Turkey must begin bust
ness and not-aontinase the policy of delay
and indifference los ..

at Portsmouth, but Senator Chandler dis
scented from this conclusion and announced
his determination to recommend w. Scott
Smith of Portsmouth to the President for
this position.
