GREAT TASK In VIEW
PREPARATION OF PLANS FOR
NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The officials of the supervising archt-
tects Office of the treasury are preparing
to reorganize the force of draftsmen In
that Office to handle the immense amount
of work required by the passage in the
last Congress of the omnibus public
buildings bill. 1t Is estimated that at
least one hundred additional craftsmen
will be required to get out the plans for
the mary new buildings and additions
provided for.
Congress appropriated over $4,000, 900
for public buildings, and the total num-
Der authorized, including additions to
buildings now in use, was about 200. This
does not include a half dozen buildings
for the jamestown exposition, authorized
in the sundry civil bill.
The officials of the ofiice are busiIy en-
gagged scheduling the buildings provided
for and getting everything in readiness
to start the big force of new men that
must be put on. The plans for post offices,
court houses and similar buildings will be
delayed pending the preparation of plans
for the jamestown exposition. AS stated
Congress provided for six government
buildings on the exposition grounds, be-
sides some piers The exposition Is to
about nine and a half months in which
to draw the plans. make UP the specifica-
tions and advertise for bids. It is the In
| flee to do all this by October l, by which
time the contractors. will be expected to
get down to hard and fast work.
James Knox Taylor, supervising architect,
| Is now in Norfolk looking over the sites for
the government buildings for the James
| town exposition. Upon his return he will
rush things for that enterprise. Mr.. Taylor,
| accompanied by Assistant Secretary Ed
wards, went to New York few days ago
| to investigate the condition Of the assay
| office there. They went from New York
| to Norfolk by steamer.
| 1t is thought to be probable that there
gill be some dificulty in getting 100 good
craftsmen for the work that Is to be pushed
| In the building line. The eligible list of the
civil service commission does not contain
| that number. but the commission will prob
| ably hold a special examination.

TURKEYS REAL ATTITUDE
Has Long Desired to Raise Rank OF
Its Legation.
COURSES OPEN TO THE SULTAN
Must Either Receive Mr.. Leishman in
His New Capacity or Declare Him
Persona Non Grata.

Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister to this
country, states that no instructions have
been received by him from his govern
ment to delay the steps taken for the ele-
vation of the United States legation at
.constantinople to an embassy. My gov
ernment is as desirous to be adequately
represented through an embassy at WASH
ington as is the United States through an
embassy at Constantinople," he said. The
question has long been pending and Tur-
key has previously agnihed her willing
ness to take the step whenever financial
and other conditions enable her to do So
Both countries should move simultaneously
In the matter subsequent to a definite
agreement. II any question has arisen at
Constantinople the last reason to be
ascribed for any delay should be any indis-
position on the part of my government to
cultivate the friendship and good will of
the United States. Turkey Is eager to
dwell in concord and perfect agreement
with the United States. suppose the out
come will be the eventual raising Of both
legations to embassies"
Beyond Presidents Control.
1t is stated in official circles that the
President has no discretion in the matter
of the rank Of the United States diplo-
Congress has made provision for an am
bassador to Turkey, and Mr.. Leishman has
been confirmed in that Office by the United
States Senate. No provision is made for
a United States minister at Constantine
pie, and there is no longer such an Office.
Two Courses Open.
According to diplomatic authority the
situation is simple. The sultan must either
receive or refuse to receive Mr.. Leishman
in his ambassadortal capacity. Unless the
refusal to receive is based on grounds per-
sonal to Mr Leishman, without regard
to his diplomatic rank, 1t follows that Off
cial relations must be severed between
Turkey and the United 6tates
Although it is. clearly within the rights

equally clear that he has absolutely moth

representative of a. foreign government off,

the relations, official and personal, between
Mr.. Leishman and the officials OF the Otto
man empire from the sultan down. have al
ways been friendly and agreeable, and II Is

will be declared persona non grata.

curious features of the debate in the upper

made by Father Butkavich, a priest elected
by the orthodox clergy, in which he Sc

ground that 1t was justified both by God
and Christ, citing the laws of Moses and
