CONSULAR SYSTEM IS FAULTY
Fierce, Assistant Secretary of Etate, Eo
Keforti After Tour AbiotJ.
HE RECOMMENDS REMOVING TEMPTATION
Thinks It Wonld B Hlf to Increaae
' Snlnrle and Do Anif with Free
Altoa-ether Other Material
(hisgti Advised.
WASHINUTON, Nov. ls.-llavlng re
turned to the l.'nlted States after a tour
of the consulates of the United States In
Knitlnnd. Holland, Flelglum, France and
t5ermany. Third Assistant Secretary of
State l'lerce has submitted to the secretary
a report on the general situation as he
found It.
In no case, he nays, was the consul fore
warned of his arrival. He says that our
consulates In Kurope are on the whole In
excellent condition and that the service
compares favorably with that of any
other country. The system of remuneration
of ronBiils he found to be unequally dis
tributed, but on the whole lie finds that
our consuls are Inadequately compensated.
The fee system of compensation he regards
as an unfortunate failure, introducing an
clement of uncertainty Into the consul's
remuneration, which Is embarrassing and
disquieting to him In the performance of
hi duties.
"However remote may bo the temptation
to abuse the privileges under which a con
sul retains for himself certain fees," says
Mr. rierce, 'still the existence of surh a
possibility cannot be beneficial to the mor
als of the service."
Karh Wants Larger Domain,
He says there is no little strife for in
clusion of territory Into thflr respective
districts. In order to secure notarial fees,
the result being that In place of that har
mony and esprit de corps and the free ex
change of views between consuls which
should exist he found the consuls not only
out of harmony, but hardly having rela
tions with one another. This, he says, acta
prejudicially to the Interests of persons for
whose benefit the consuls have been given
rtartil authority. In the settlement of
entati a and other legal business Mr. Pierce
says the temptation exists and not Infre
quently la yielded td for the consul to sup
ply or recommend legal counsel, receiving
a division of the fees, and thus placing an
additional tax on the client. He therefore
recommends the abolition of all compensa
tion to the consul by fees of whatever sort
or nature, thut all fees be converted Into
the treasury, and that adequate salaries' be
paid consuls.
Mr. Pierce regards as unfortunate the ap
pointment of naturalized American citizens
to the country of their origin In a consular
capacity, not alone from the point of view
of thegovernment to whom' they are ac
credited, which seldom regards auch ap
pointments with satisfaction, but the point
of view of efficiency. The employment of
foreign clerks to consuls he regards aa
unwise, as it la highly probable that such
a clerk, .owing allegiance to other gov
ernment and recognising none to our own,
other than aa to a taskmaster, would find the
temptation to reveal matters which might
be of the highest Importance a strong one
If Inducements were offered him. He sug
gests that at the rate of $1,000 and In some
Instances somewhat more we could fill all
these positions with bright young Ameri
can citizens if they were encouraged to feel
that they had a reasonable prospect of pro
motion to the position of consul. Mr. Pierce
thinks that a considerable class of Ameri
cans look upon khe consul as haying been
ent to his post to serve their convenience
and obey their behests. ' While he found
consuls ready and willing to oblige Amer
ican tourist often at great inconvenience
to themselves, yet he says, he discovered
cases where demands on( the consul have
been most unreasonable and not always
courteously presented.
Shipping; Regnlatlons Abased.
Mr. Pierce calls attention to the abuse
which he says has grown up In the certifi
cation of Invoices of merchandise shipped
to the United States under the law which
limits the necessity of a certified - Invoice
to a shipment of goods amounting to $100
or more, whereby what really constitutes
single shipments are spilt up Into many
of $100 each. Another abuse complained of
and which Is extensively practiced is that
forwarding houses and agent! of American
firms unite bills of goods Into one ship
ment, attaching the valgus bills Into one
Invoice, which Is brought to the consulate
for certification. In this way, he says, for
the small fee of $2.50 consular services are
obtained consuming e considerable part of
the official's day. In fact, he says, the
shipper of goods Invoiced at $101 pays the
same fee as the shipper of goods of the
value of $100,000. He therefore suggests
that the minimum sum requiring an In
voice to be certified should be $J6 Instead
of $2.60, as at present, and that the fees
charged either should be upon a sliding
scale, with a minimum fee of 25 cents and
a maximum of $00 on Invoices of $1,000 or
more, or that the system of consolidating
Invoices Into one should be discontinued
and the regular fee or a reduced one be
charged on each separate Invoice. In this
way, he says, the consular revenues would
be doubled.
More Immigration Experts Needed.
In the Interests of our customs tariff, Mr.
Pierce urges that the system of our trees'
ury experts be extended all over Europe
to facilitate the work of preventing under
valuation deals with the subject of Im
migration. He says the duties are ex
cessively" arduous, Involving Irregular hours
and exposure, not only to the weather, but
to contagious and Infectious diseases. By
the terms of the recent law Mr. Pierce
says the Immigrant manifesto Is no longer
signed by the consul or anybody at the port
of embarkation, but by the Immigration
Inspectors at the port of arrival. The
actual labors, however, of the consul. In
connection with the bill of health and the
Inspection of Immigrants, remains the same.
Consequently, he. says,, after delivering to
the captain a clean bill of health. It Is
entirely possible for rejected Immigrants
or others who have not been examined
to be taken aboard after the consul has
left, thus vitiating the entire bftl of health.
He says that when the coat of bringing
emigrants to the United States Is con
sidered, steamship companies can well af
ford to take the risk of rejection of Immi
grants by the authorities on arrival In this
country.
He concludes by remarking that the con
ditions In Germany with regard to emigra
tion afford a greater protection to the
United States from the Importation of
emigrants than do those of Russia, Poland
and Oriental countries.

BOUQUET FOR FIGHTING BOB
Secretary Moody Finds Nothing to Blame in
His Criticism.
ACTED FOR BEST INTEREST OF SERVICE
Recommendations Made by First As
slstant Postmaster General Wynne :
as to Postal Service In
Ills Branch.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Secretary
Moody today announced his decision In the
matter of the protest of Paymaster II. E.
Biscoe against the language used by Rear
Admiral Evans, commander-in-chief of the
Asiatic station, In reviewing the court
martial of Assistant Paymaster Nichols.
After ruling that Rear Admiral Evans,
as the convening and reviewing authority
of the court-martial in question, was within
the limits of his authority In criticising the
finding of not guilty on the third charge
and pronouncing the sentence Inadequate,
and his criticism on the verdict, Secretary
Moody says In conclusion:
It Is not to be inferred from this de
cision that, although the power of censure
by the reviewing authority by courts-martial
Is clearly .shown to exist by an un
broken practice of many years. It should
be indiscriminately exercised. It Is to be
kept in mind that members of courts-martial
must be Independent In their action
and are not subject to control. It Is to be
regretted that an occasion has arisen in
which the Judgment of the reviewing au
thority demanded so severe a censure as
was Inflicted In this case. Nevertheless, as
the memoers of the court must be the
Judges of the measure of their duty, so
the reviewing authority must be the Judge
of the measure of his duty.
May Control Reviewing Board.
While the exercise of the discretion of the
reviewing authority is uncontrollable, there
is a clear remedy for the abuse ot It. If
It should appear in any case that In the
exercise of his suthorlty of reviewing the
proceeding of courts-martial convened by
film, a cummanrier-ln-cnief had acted ca
priciously, cruelly, with evident lack of
judgment or from Improper motives; In
short. If he had shown himself untlt to be
entrusted with the authority which the
law attaches to his position, the depart
ment ha the power to withhold from Ulm
that aut.thorlty In the future by recalling
him from his station. It is, however, con
sidered in this Instance Rear Admiral
Kvans has not shown himself unworthy of
the continued confidence of Ute depart
ment. On the contrary. In view of the evidence
of the court, without weighing too n;cely
the terms of his censure, It Is believed that
he was actuated by a high sense of duty
and Inspired by a regard for the honor and
welfare of the service.
I am Invited by the bureau of navigation
to publish an order concerning performance
of the duties of courts-martial. It seems to
me that nothing more Impressive can be
said than to present the fact that the bu
reau charged with Immediate government
and discipline of the personnel of the navy
has presented to the department such a re
quest. Clerk for Third-Class Offices.
Robert J. Wynne, first assistant post
master general, In his annual report to the
postmaster general, recommends that con
gress authorise clerk hire allowances at
all third-class postofflces. Only the first
and second-class offices now have this al
lowance, and Mr. Wynne. advocates an al
lowance for this purpose of flOO.wherever
the postmaster's salary Is $1,000 or $1,100,
of $200, where the postmaster gets $1,200
or $1,300, $300 where the postmaster gets
$1,400 or $1,600. $400 where the postmaster
Is salaried at $1,600 or $1,700 and $500 where
the salary Is from $1,800 to $1,900. This
would make the total appropriation for
clerk hire allowances at third-class post
offices, and for separating malls at third
and fourth-class postofflces - and for un
usual business, $2,200,000.
Mr. Wynnu recommends a new classi
fication law for clerks In first and seoond
class postofflces, creating a number of new
positions 'and abolishing the titles ' of all
clerks below the grade of foreman, simply
designating as. clerks, employes whose
duties are purely clerical.
It. is recommended that the maximum
allowance for fuel and light at third-class
postofflces be Increased from $G0, as now
fixed by law, to $S0 per annum. A lump
appropriation of $20,000,000 Is asked for
clerks at first and second-class offices. In
stead of segregating this appropriation Into
grades of clerks.
Money Order Business.
During the year the domestlo money
orders Issued amounted to HM.C27.S48 and
the excess of receipts from this source over
expenses paid from the proceeds was
$l.K4.Rxx.
The amount of money orders, both do
mestic and International, Including postal
notes, issued since the organisation of the
system In 1804. was H.9S7,903,613.
The receipts at the dead letter office of
mall mater of all classes and from all
sources which could not be delivered, de
ciphered or were unmallable, were lO.l&l.bJg
pieces, an Increase of Sty per cent. Mr.
Wynne urges legislation to abolish the
private letter box abuse In the large clt-
Iles; to prevent the boycotting of postofflcos
because of political differences, petty Jeal-
use of a post marking stamp for any un
lawful or Improper purpose; to bar In
flammable matter from the malls and to
further restrict the mailing of disease
germs. No reference Is made to the free
delivery service or to the salary and al
lowance division, both of those offices hav
ing been transferred, for convenience of
Investigation, to the fourth assistant post
master general, who had charge of the
postal Investigation.
Army Relief Society Meets.
The Army Relief society met here today
for the purpose of awakening Interest In
the work of the organization and present
ing Its aim before the public. Addresses

berg, General John M. Wilson, Hon. John

McFarland, Hon. W. R. Parker and Gen
eral Charles Bird. General Sternberg

lieved a vast number of cases of financial
distress which did not fall In the power of
the government to relieve.
Mr. Daniel 8. Lamont was among those
present at the meeting, while the managing
committee was made up of Mrs. Root, Mrs.
Leonard Wood, Mrs. Chaffee, Mrs. Stern
berg, Mrs. Oliver and Mrs. James Parker.
Civil Hlhts I'nlon 1st Session.
The mombers of the bourd of delegates
to the copventlon of the Civil and Relig
ious Rights Union ot America and Jewish
congregations called upon the president to
day to pay their respects. The visitors
were presented by Simon Wolf of this city.
President Roosevelt, In response 'to Mr.
Wolf's remarks, said:
"Mr. Wolf:
I want through you to extend my greet
ings to all of ttiese gentlemen and say how
glad 1 am to see them here. There are cer
tain other friends among them with whom
1 have fought and bled in the past. I speak
but the bare truth when 1 suy there can be
no body of citizens of whose devotion to
the welfare of our common cause I feel
more assured than I do of the body thus
represented, and no body from wnom I
would more gladly hear, for 1 knCw that
whatever 1 get from them will be on the
line ot making things better for all of our
people. It 1b a great pleasure to see you.
Prior to their call at the White House the
delegates called on 8ecrttary Hay at the
State department and thanked him for the
efforts he had made to ameliorate the con
dition of the Jews In foreign lands.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Consul General
Galvan. of Ban Domingo refused to sign
clearance papers for the Clyde line
steamer, Cherokee, to the five Dominican
ports In th hands of Insurgents for which
Cherokee sails today, but granted clearance
papers for the ports of San Domingo and
Asua, which were at last reports In pos
session of the government.
A report was current today that an effort
was made last night by friends of the In
surgents In this city to Ship several cases
of arms to Puerto Plata on Cherokee, but
that the Clyde line officials refused to ao
cept them. A circular, printed In Spanish,
was circulated among shippers today call
ing on them not to be alarmed, as the ex
isting revolution Is tottering and the In
surgents will soon be In control of the
country, and giving assurances that Amer
ican shippers and their Interests will be
protected.
Consul Is Passenger.
C. L. Maxwell, United States consul to
San Domingo, is on Cherokee. Mr. Max
well acknowledged that although on board
Cherokee aa a passenger he had certain
official instructions to advise the captain
of th steamer as to what to do in case of
trouble. He said he would not be sur
prised to find th revolution ended when
he reached there. He said:
In a way, I have orders to advise the
captain of this ship in esse of contin
gencies. I cannot say what my advice
will be until we reach the spot and I see
what confronts us. I think Baltimore will
be at Monte Chrlstl, out first port of call,
before we get there, and In that event the
officers will decide what we are to do. If
they estsbllsh a blockade and can main
tain It at the five ports named or any
one of them, we cannot enter, but to
make the blockade -effectual, It must be
perpetual, by which I mean that the gun
boats which meet us at Monte Christ! and
prevent our entering that harbor cannot
follow us to anrrther port and keep us out
of there. The Dominican government has
two gunboats which are capable of main
taining a blockade of two ports at the
name time, but I do not think could ef
fectually blockade more than that. I have
heard a rumor that the government has
armed two milling- vessels as supplemen
tary warships for this blockade service,
but I do not know that this is true.
Tried to Get Arms Aboard.
Consul Galvan was at the pier to sea
Cherokee sail and he still held until the
last minute that he could not clear the
vessels for any ports except Aqua and
Ban Domingo. He said:
I understand that several cases of arms
were offered for shipment on Cherokee to
Puerto Plata, but the Clyde line people
would not take them unless 1 certined
my consent. The shippers did not come to
me for my approval and I don't know who
they were.
Just before the lines were cast "off Cap
tain Daniel Archibald was asked whether .
in case of being held up by San Domingan
gunboats he would ask counsel for Mr.
Maxwell. H replied: "Why, yes I sup
pose so. I suppose he Is officially in
structed to give m advlc and I will act
on what he says."
"Where ar your gunsT" he was asked.
"This is not a fighting ship," said he.
"If their gunboats hold me up I shall not
risk being fired on. ' If they hav th har
bor of Monte Christ!, wher I touch first,
guarded and tell me not to enter, I shall
not try to fore my . way In. ... The two
gunboats they have are on th yacht order,
but carry guns enough to sink me."
Newport to Go to Baa Domini..
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-8everal tele,
grams have been exchanged between Ad
miral Taylor, chief of the bureau of navi
gation, and Commander Biiggs, command
ing the protected cruiser, Baltimore, which
vessel has been cruising in the Dominican
waters safeguarding the interests of the
United States. Commander Brlggs' reports
Indicate that the bombardment of San
Domingo by the Insurrectionists have been
"hot." Having stated that his coal sup
ply was running low, Commander Brlggs
was authorized to take Baltimore to San
Juan for coal and then return to Ban
Domingo City. In order that the interests
of the United States In the last named city
should not be left unprotec'ted orders were
telegraphed to Commander Dlehl, com
manding the gunboat Newport at Puerto
Plata, on the north coast of San Do
mingo, to proceed at one to San Do
mingo City.
Jlmlnea Going; to Front.
BAN JUAN. P. R., Nov. 18. The French
rteamer St. Simon arrived her today from
Haytl and San Domingo. It touched at
Puerto Plata, on the north coast of San
Domingo, and report that all of th Do
minican republic, except the capital, was
in th hands of th revolutionists. It also
reports that General Jlminei, leader of th
Dominican revolutionists, left Haytl No
vember M and was due to arrive Friday
next before Ban Domingo and resume
direction of siege of that city. General
Caceres was assisting in the military oper
atlons of the revolutionists.
A dispatch from Monte Crlsto says in
formation has been received there from
San Domingo that United States Minister
Powell, accompanied by Minister of For
eign Relations Galvan, has gone aboard the
cruiser Baltimore. The object of their visit
to th warship Is unknown. Th arrival of
th United States gunboat Newport Is
anxiously awaited. It Is believed to be still
at Puerto Plata.
' General Jlmlnez, according to a dispatch
from Cape Haytlen, November 14, was a
passenger on board the French steamer
St. Simon, which was credited with the
intention of forcing tha blockade of Peurto
Plata after leaving Port au Prince.
