Washington. D. c., Sept. %.
There is about to be a swapping OF
Turks at Washington, the Sultan hnv-
ing decided that Chekib Bey, the pres
ent representative Of the porte at this
post, has had snap long enough. So
Chekib will go back to Constantinople
and another faithful follower of the
prophet, Mehemet Ali. will take his
place.
There is good reason for saying that
the position of Turkish minister to
the United States is~ not precisely a
snap. 1t is. understood that the posi-
ton pays only $3.50 a year. The In
Significance Of this sum. as compared
for instance, with the $4,000 which
AMBASSADOR Bryce receives for repre-
sentng the interests of Great Britain
at Washington, Is pathetic. For Chekib
Bey has had to maintain an.establish-
ment. and while this has never been
the scene of much social gatety he has
had to do considerable entertaining.
Chekib is something of a sport. al
though his typically Oriental demeanor
prevents his showing the usual char
acteristlcs of that genus homo. One

been the Turkish minister here since
the summer Of 1901. It is believed that
no other representative Of a. foreign
power at Washington has come and
gone without having crossed the thres-
hold OF the White House.
Chekib Bey's credentials were made
out to President Mckinley personally.
The President was out of the city
when the minister arrived. and before
the diplomat could be presented Mr..
Mckinley was killed at Buffalo. and
it was necessary that new credentials.
commencing the minister to President
Roosevelt, should be forwarded from
Constantinople. These have never
come. The incident mayethrow side
light on Turkish governmental me-
lthods.
Notwithstanding the failure of the
Porto to. accredit It's representative
properly, Mr.. Roosevelt directed that
he be recognized as a diplomatic agent
at the State Department.. All import
ant matters had to be taken. up
through the American legation at Con-
stantinople. Chekib waited with true
Turkish patience for the credentials
which never came. He could have re-
signed, but to do SO would have been
an affront to his sovereign. He does
not know whether he Is to be states

NEW DIoc EsE is PROPOSED

Especial to The -Dispatch)
WASHINGTON, D. G., September 3d..
Trace problems promise to be among
the most important subjects to be
considered at the triennial conference
of the Episcopal Church of America"
said Bishop Samuel G. Edsall. of Min
nesota, who Is in the East to attend
the great conference, which begins
next week at Richmond.
Few things have come before the
conference of recent years OF more
vital Importance than the problem of
dealing with the colored membership
in the Southern States" said Bishop
Edsall. The situation is not apparent
to Northerner. In Minnesota the
church recognizes no difference In
races or in blood. and the foundation
laid by Bishop Whipple in his fight
for the equality OF the Indians In the
church has been built upon consist
emily, and upholds q church in which
different races sit in entire harmony.
ut has been impossible to ignore
racial differences In the South, now
ever and the negro members OF the
Episcopal church are anxious that 1he
general conference take up their pron-
lem and help in the solution OF IT. a
considered at length by the conference
at Richmond, and which may finally
be adopted by the church.
..This plan involves the creation OF
a new diocese of the church, not on
territorial lines. as are the regular
divisions OF the church, but Including
the colored membership of-the church
in the Southern States. This diocese
would have it's own bishop and con-
duct its own affairs, and would select
representatives for the general con
ference, who would attend the triennial
gatherings. The new diocese would
then finally come into the general
church.
"The plans have not been discussed
in detail. and 1t is possible that the
Richmond conference may take no maj
action toward this end. but the clergy
throughout the country has given care
full consideration to the idea
"The satisfactory establishment OF
the negro Episcopal Church IN the
south would mean great deal for the
strengthening of the general church
and the ultimate solution OF the negro
problem"

NEW ORLEANS, LA, September 23.--
Facts from both sides Of the contro-
vcrsy as to why cotton seed product
Exporters lose thousands of dollars
monthly from negligent handling OF
tfsir goods In steamship transportation
were presented at to-day's extraordi-
nary session OF the Interstate Cotton
Beed Crnshers' Association.
Action was taken to comb foreign
tariffs, which are claimed to have cut
down Southern business in these pro-
ducts by $2,000.000 annually.
The convention nominated Albert @.
Perkins, of Memphis. Tenn. for the po-
sition of United States expert abroad
on the subject of cotton seed products.
This nomination Is tantamonnt TO hp-

Complain OF Shipping Loss.
Mr. Benton, in his address before
The Cotton Crushers' Convention told
of the enormous waste in cotton seed
products due to careless handling by
steamship lines, and of the loss to the
American shippers thereby, estimated
as high as s1,OO0,000 In a single year.
Mr.. Benton said 1t would be a difficult
task to extend Southern cotton seed
products trade abroad until the deliv-
cry is improved.
He recommended sending perma-.
nent representative of the Crushers'
Association abroad to watch the con-
dtion of goods on arrival.
A reply to Mr.. Benton was made by
NJ. j. Sanders, agent at New Orleans
for the Leland Steamship line. He
holds shippers partly responsible. for
the waste in putting UP their products
in inferior wrappings.
The convention provided for the ap-
pointmcnt Of committee Of three
members of the Crushers' Association

handling Of cotton seed products. and
