AWAITING SCHEkIB BEN.
The Present Turkish Minister eot Il
Participant in NcEOtiEtions.

Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish minister,
said this afternoon that he knew nothing
of the reported trip Of the battle ship Ken
lucky to Smyrna for the alleged purpose
of pressing the Armenian claims. All ne
gotiat:ons for the adjustment of those
claims are out of my hands" said the min
lister to a Star reporter today. Il have
been recalled, you know, and am now
awaiting my successor. Schekib Bey Until
his arrival all dealings between America
and Turkey in regard to the Armenian
claims are being carried forward in Con-
stantinople.
Il have been discharged said the min

| summoned to a post in ConstantinoDle or
whether l shall be sent on some diplomatic
| mission My departure will not disturb the
| personnel of the legation staff here
| 1t is understood that the recall of the
minister was brought about by a desire on
the part of the sultan to obtain an early
| settlement of the friction arising out OF the
| Armenian claims. The porte it was
| thought. hoped that the management of
diplomatic relations by minister to Amer
! lea who had not previously been connected
! with the case might further an adjustment.
Ali Ferrouh Bey has been in Washington
| for three years, and has borne the brunt CT
| the diplomatic negotiations between the
| two countries arising out of the Armenian
| troubles.
| The minister today said he had unofficial
! y heard that the sultan decided some time
ago on placing an order for at least one bat

! The negotiations at CCnStantinople reported
| in recent press dispatches would apparently
| be for a second boat, said the minister.
Admiral Ahmed Pacha, who was here last

INDIGNANT RESIDENT.
He Writes an EpistIe Anent the Ash
Removal Service.

Among the letters received today by the
District health officer was the following
from I. F. Rea of 100 Rhode Island ave-
nue., which will explain itself, and which
will be referred to the street cleaning de-
partment:
Il know not, care not, by what monstrous
sire the ash scandal was begotten. Certain
it is that unless Washington is to become a
modern HercIlaneum or Pompeii the health
department lad better take hold of the in
famous ban,ling and strangle the life out
of il. If it doesn't hear thunder when Con-
gress assemblies it will be because its vic
tins will have been squeezed until there is
not enough electricity left to make a noise.
L have already provided myself with two
of the prescribed parlor receptacles for the
sacred stuff, and today, perforce, invest in
another. in order to relieve congested coal
scuttles- L want no arrogant inspectors to
posture in the selt-importance of vanglory
