THE TURKISH MINISTER
Has Never Presented Credentials and
Fills Anomalous Position.

Washington, Feb. S.-For one year
and eight months the Turkish minister
Chekib Bey. has occupied an anoma-
fous position at the capital.
Although he has been appointed en-
voy from the Ottoman empire, he has
never presented his credentials to the
President. and only by courtesy is he
assigned position in the diplomatic
corps. From legal standpoint he is
simply Turkish subject living at
Washington.
An interesting diplomatic entangle-
ment is behind the story of Chekib
Bey's appointment. He was named to
succeed Ali Ferrouh after one of those
successful court intrigues frequent il
Turkey. Ali Ferrouh did not desire to
be removed from Washington and
when he arrived at Constantinople he
endeavored to make things uncomfort-
able for his enemies. His opportunity
came in the tragic death of President
Mckinley.
The credentials of Chekib lBey were
addressed to President Mckinley, ano
were filled with personal compliments
to that executive. 1t was impossible
for Chekib to present these credentials
to President Roosevelt so he returned
them. asking for others.
Through the influence of Ali Ferrouh
no credentials have been sent to the
envoy, and it is said by diplomats who
know Turkish methods they never will
be sent. Chekib Bey will continue here
until the state department grows weary
of asking him to perfect his status.

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE.
Relay Candidates Tried Out in Gym
Good Men Appear.

Orono, Me-, Feb. 8.-(SpeciaD.- Sat
urday morning, the candidates for the
relay team which will compete against
Tufts College and the Boston Athletic
Club Association meet, Feb. IA, were
tried out in the gymnasium. The team
was quite satisfactory to Coach Keane,
although many were expecting faster
pace. The men who made the team
were announced by Mr.. Keane at the
close of the trials and were the fol-
lowing men: Capt. Harris, 'O3, Conner,
'03, Parker, 'O4, Thatcher. '05, and Cur
rier, '06. These men will receive special
instruction throughout this week by
Coach Keane until Thursday, when the
team will leave for Boston.
A large number of the students are
planning upon going to Boston with
the team. and together with the alumni
of the college who live in that vicinity,
the team ought not to lack support.
This is the first time that the Uni
versity of Maine has been represented
by relay team at this meet and al
though the prospects of winning out
against Tufts is not as bright as they
should be. the team is hoping to make
a.creditable showing.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Outline of Work for Week in the
House and Senate.

Washington, Feb. S.-The House will
resume work on the appropriation bills,
this week. Tomorrow will be District of
Columbia day. Beginning, Tuesday, the
appropriation bills will be kept to the
fore. The sundry civil and naval APP
preparation bills are both on the calen-
dar. The former probable will be con-
sidered first. A special rule will be re-
quired for the consideration of the
naval bill as it contains a considerable
amount of legislation, especially that
for increasing the number of officers in
the service which is deemed vital and
unless a special rule is adopted all new
legislation would be subject to a point
of order. Friday will be pension day but
| if other things press the leaders may
decide not to give up the day to this
class of business.
The session is so far advanced that
minor matters have to give way for the
supply budgets and other imperative
matters. The friends of the currency
bill are still insistent on time for the
consideration for their bill but the
chances for it are growing more slim
and unless time is given this week, it
| is difficult to figure how it will be pos
sible to give it any time.
All indications point to the conclusion
of the debate on the statehood bill dur
ling the present week, but no one can
tell at this time just when in the week
the change will come, or how it Will
come. If the plans of the republican
headers who oppose the statehood bill
are put into effect the committee on ter
ritories will bring in a substitute bill
early in the week providing for CONSOLE
dalton and the admission of two states.
This probably will not be done. how
lever. unless assurance can be secured
that the full Republican vote can be
obtained for consolidation.
| If this plan does not take shape Sena-
tor Quay is likely to press his state
