memher that my country is very much
occupied at present, and | hope the
Washington government VIII appreciate
inns ana not insist on a final settlement
OF all controversies until the interior
troubles have quleted.
DOCTORS AND STUDENTS.
You have asked for certain privl-
leges for doctors and students You
want your physicians admitted on GER
tiilcate TO practise In Turkey. My gov
eminent Is very careful Of the kind Of
doctors 1t licenses to practise, II your
government would itself approve the d.
pl0mas Of the American schools of med
iclne your physicians would be admit
tetd without examination. This is the
reason that the French and other Eu-
ropean physicians are admitted on GER
tihcate.
The medical schools In those cOun-
tries are under the supervision, as II
were, OF the governments. In this
country a man licensed TO practise in
one state would, In some cases, not be
allowed to practise in another without
examination, If some Of your states
dlsoredit the quality Of your medical
schools is Il surprising that my gov
eminent insists on examining American
physcans2 And, why, II your physl-
clans are so thoroughly educated do
they object to standing an examination
when they come TO Turkey TO practise?
twill require time 20 adjust this ques-
ton, but yeu know the Turk Il very toll

QUESTION OF MISSIONARIES.
Nov, there is that other troublesome
question Of missionaries. DO not UNDER
stand me ne crticising the missionary,

tolerant people. We have allowed the
missionaries great liberties and with
what result? / read In the American
papers frequently OF what some mis-

the Armenlans about DISCRIMINATING us.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Suppose / should establish IN wash

teachers should tell the negroes attend
Inc that school that they ought not 20

ish? This is a side Of the question that
is not often heard,
But 'va have the missionaries and
my government earnestly strives 10
protect them. 1t Is merely Justice, how
ever that when the missionary comes
TO Turkey he should confine himself to
the religious and intellectual training
Of his pupils. and not endeavor 10 make
them dissatisfied with their present
form Of government. / am sure you do
not expect US TO encourage the UNDER
mining OF our government.
AS TO MAssAcREs.
"You ask me about the masacres in
Turkey. These unfortunately do occur.
But do they not occur In Christian
lands? No one would be 50 foolish rs
TO hold your government responsible
every time a negro Is lynched. Your
government deplores these outrages but
il cannot always prevent them. So does
Turkey deplore the massacres, and we
are today doing all IN our power TO pre-
vent them. And yet II a massacre oc-
ours I'm Bulgark the cry goes W;
Down with the Turks. And when my
government sends troops 10 Bulgaria TO
punish the guilty the same cry is heard.
IL Is always the Turk who gets the
blame
Can you wonder that a feeling Of,
won't say hostility, but GOODNESS, is
aroused among my countrymen toward
those who are forever blaming them2
do not think the European powers are
as glad as they profess to be that your
squadron has gone to Turkish waters,
They would be still more dissatisfied II
they found that the Washington gov
eminent stood ready TO help Turkey In
her troubles.
TO PRESERVE GOOD RELATIONS.

what | can TO preserve the good reln-
tions between your country and mine.
think the report Of the troubles in Tur-
key are exaggerated, but | know all Il
not well there. Your officials are SUI
premely Just and have always treated
me with such consideration that | am
confident the Washington government
VIII appreciate my country's position
and not be disposed TO act impatiently."
