THE COMPLAINT OF TURKEY.
The Recall of Consul Merrill Con-
sidercd Not ImDrObable,

SfucSeu NOT 1mprODaDIe.
The Secretary of State has under consid
Grafton the complaint made by the Turk
ish Government through its Minister here.
against Selah Merrill. United States Consul
at Jerusalem. on account of articles pub
lished in the christian Herald" of New
York. over Mr.. Merrill's signature. severe
ly critcsng the Government of Turkey.
Whatever action has been taken by the
Department was not final. and it is known
that Mr.. Merrill has not been recalled.
The question confronting the Department
is whether it would be justified in recall
ing Mr.. Merrill. Turkey does not explic-
lilly demand his recall. but intimates
that such disposition of the matter would
be desirable.
The Objectionable articles were printed
in the Christian Herald" in 1897. when
MIR. Merrill was out of the consular SER
vice. Twice before that time he had been
consul at Jerusalem and his structures
were based on his experience in the Sui
tan's possessions. From the fact that the
complaint has just been made. it would
appear that the Turkish Government did
not know until recently that the objec
tionable articles had been written and
published.
No question exists in the minds of off
Gals here as to their extreme severity, and
it is admitted that had they been writ
ten while Mr.. Merrill was Consul at Jeru-
salem his recall would have been ordered
Immediately after the filing of the COM
plant. But Mr.. Merrill was out Of the
service then and three years have elapsed
since his criticisms Of Turkish methods
were printed. In that three years he has
maintained friendly relations with the
Turkish authorities and did nothing OBJ
jectionable to Turkey during his official
career. Should 1t be learned by the Turk
ish Government that the Christian Her
ald'' articles were known to the Porte be-
fore Mr.. Merrill was appointed Consul to
Jerusalem for the third time in January,
1885, there would be ground for the con-
tention by the United States that his al
legged offence had been corrdoned by Tur-
key in issuing him consular exequatur.
Some surprise is expressed that Turkey
should make the complaint at this late
day.
The probabilities. however. all poi;;t to
the recall or dismissal of Mr.. Merrill. In
the opinion of some officials the refusal Of
this Government to recall him will result
in the withdrawal of his exequatur by the
Turkish Government.

FAIRGROUNDS FOR CHILDREN.

! The Superintendent of Police Re
ports His Views on the Subject.
John S. Duffie, of els + Street north.
ers complaining that the children Of the
District were not provided with sufficient
| room in which to play. He informed the
| Commissioners that the boys in the vicin-
| ity were forbidden to play ball in the
| streets near his home, and that any loud
conversation or games. which would
cause annoyance to one or two fault
| finders of the neighborhood, generally led
to the arrest of the boys, or at least to
their being driven away from the corner
or any other place they might congregate
by policeman.
The complaint having been sent to
Major Sylvester he has now reported, say
ing there is much truth in the statement
made by Mr.. Duffie, yet he feels con-
strained to say that 1t Is not the province
of the police force to nullify laws and
regulations, especially when violations of
the same are brought to their attention
by those who feel annoyed or aggrieved
Continuing the report adds:
mo one cherishes a warmer regard for
the boys of the city or sympathizes more
WIN tneIn tndu tEe superintendent ol
Police and his representatives, who are
aware that they are greatly restricted
in the playing of games out of doors. and
the matter has been fully covered in
recommendations made in the annual re-
ports Of this department during past
years.
81 am informed that playground was
recently established in the vicinity OF the
Monument Through the efforts of Col.
Theodore A. Bingham, Superintendent: of
Public Buildings and Grounds. but young
men and older boys composed largely of
the rough element. took possession of the
same, thus crowding out the small chill
dren.
Fairgrounds have been established in
the southeastern part of the city, where
boys play ball after school hours. but
observation and experience has shown
that these tracts are not large enough
to accommodate the thousands of young
people who would patronize the open
spaces were they under constant police
vigilance and regulation.
1T is unnecessary for me to state that
with the limited police force at COM
mand 1t would be impracticable to detail
men to such places for permanent duty,
but II private watchmen. such as are
employed to look after public grounds
and parks were appointed and given policn
powers, with the assistance of the police
believe good order could be preserved
and the ends sought accomplished.
Major Sylvester closes his statement
with reference to the recommendations
upon the subject which appeared in his
last annual report, which are in mart
summarized above.
