R —— THIEE OMAHA DA ILY BEE THURSDAY, CONSULAR SYSTEM IS FAULTY Pietos, Assistant Secrétary of State, 8o | Regorts After Tour Abroad. HE RECOMMENDS REMOVING TEMPTATION Thinks it Would Be Wise to Increase Salaries and Do Away with Fees Altogether—Other Material Changes Advised. WASHINGTON, _Nov, 18.—ilaving re- turned to the United States after a tour of the consuiates of the United States in England, Holland, Belgium, France and Germany, Third Assistant Seccretary of Btate Plerce has submitted to the secretary a report on the general situation as he found it In no case, he says, was the consul fore- warned of his arrival. He says that our consulates In Furope are on the whole in excellent condition and that the service cotnpares favorably with that of any other country, The system of remuneration of consuls he found to be unequally dis- tributed, but on the whole he finds that our consuls are inadequately compensated The fee system of compensation he regards as an unfortunate failure, introducing an element of uncertafnty into the consul's remuneration, which is embarrassing and didquieting to him In the performance of his duties. “However remote may be the temptation to abuse the privileges under which a con- sul retains for himself certain fees,' says Mr. Plerce, “still the existence of such a poseibility cannot be benefical to the mor- als of the service." Each Wa arger Domain. He says there is no little strife for in- clusion of territory into thelr 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 Retween consuls which should exist he found the consuls not only out of harmony, but hardly having rela- tions with one another. This, he says, acts prejudicially to the interests of persons for whose benefit the consuls have been glven ibtarial authority. In the settlement of estatcs and other legal business Mr. Plerce says the temptation exists and not infré- quently is yielded to for the consul to sup- ply or recommend legal counsel, recelving 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, that all fees be converted Into the treasury, and that adequate salaries be paid consuls. Mr. Plerce regards as unfortunate the ap- pointment of naturalized American citizens to the country of their orfgin In a consular capacity, not alone from the point of view of the-government to whom' they are ac- credited, which seldom regards such ap- pointments with satisfaction, but the point of view of efficlency. The employment of foreign clerks to consuls he regards as unwise, as it Is highly probable that such a clerk, owing alleglance to other gov- ernment and recognizing none to our own, other than as 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. Plerce thinks that a considerable class of Ameri- cans 1ook upon khe consul as baving been sent to his post to serve their convenience and obey their behests. While he found consuls ready and willing to oblige Amer- lean tourists often at great Inconvenience 1o themselves, yet he says he discovered cases where demands on the consul have been most unreasonable and not always gourteously presented. shipping Regulations Abused. Mr, Plerce calls attention to the abuse which he says has grown up in the certifi- ‘ettion of Involces of merchandise shipped fo the United States under the law which Iimits the necessity of a certified - involce 0 a shipment of goods amounting to $100 or more, whereby what really constitutes single shipments a of $100 each. Another abuse complained of | and which Is extensively practiced is that [ forwarding houses and agents of American | firms unite bills of goods into one ship ment, attaching the vat.eus bills into one | Invoice, which Is brought to the consulate for certification. In this way, he says, for the small fee of $250 consular services are | obtalned consuming e considerable part of the official's day. 1In fact, he says, the shipper of goods Involced at $101 pays the | | same fee as the shipper of goods of the value of $100,00. He therefore suggests that the minimum sum requiring an in- voice to be certified should be $25 Instead of 3250, 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 $0 on Invoices of $,000 or more, or that the system of consolidating involces 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, Plerce urges that the system of our treas+ 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- cessivel§ arduous, involving irregular hours and exposure, not only to the weather, but to contaglous and Infectious diseases. By the terms of the recent law Mr. Plerce 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 vitlating the entire bfll of health He says that when the cost of bringing emigrants to the United States Is con- sidered, steamshlp 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- ton afford a greater protection to the United States from the importation of emigrants than do those of Russia, Poland and Orfental countries, BILLS BEFORE Important Measures CONGRESS Introduced in House and Senate for Enact- ment Into Laws.

ACTED FOR BEST INTEREST OF SERVICE Recommendations Made by First Ase sistant Postmaster General Wynne as to Postal Service in His Branch. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 — Secretary Moody today announced his decision in the atter of the protest of Paymaster H. B. coe against the language used by Rear Admiral Evans, commander-in-chief of the Aslatic station, in reviewing the courts 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 gullty 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-mar- tial 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-mar- tial must be independent in their acuon 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 memuers 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 or it. If it should appear in any case that in’ the exercise of his authority of reviewing the roceedings of courts-martial convened by im, a commander-in-chief had acted ca- priclously, cruelly, with evident lack of judgment’ or from improper motives; in short, {f he had shown himself unfit to be ontrusted with the authority which the law attaches to his position, the depart- ment has the power to withhold from aim that autthority in the future by recaliing him from his station. It s, however, con- eidered in this instance Rear Admiral Evans has not shown himself unworthy of the continued confidence of the depart- ment, On ‘the contrary, in view of the evidence of the court, without weighing too nicely the terms of his censure, it 1s believed that he was actuated by a high sense of duty and Inspired by a regard for the honor and weltare of the service. 1 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 sald 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- aquest. 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 authorize clerk hire allowances at all third-class postoffices. Only the first and second-class offices now have this al- lowance, and Mr. Wynne.advocates an al- towance for this purpose of $100 wheréver the postmaster's lary is $1,000 or $1,100, of 3200, where the postmaster gets $1,200 or §1,300, $30 where the postmaster gets $1400 or $1500, $400 where the postmaster is salaried at $1,600 or $1,700 and $500 where the salary is from $1500 to $1900. This would make the total appropriation for clerk hire allowances at third-class post- offices, and for separating mails at third and fourth-class postoffices and for un- usual business, $2,200,000. Mr. Wynne recommends a new classi- fication law for clerks in first and second- class postoffices, creating a number of new positions ‘and abolishink the titles of al clétks below the grade of foreman, simply designating as. clerks, employes whose duties are purely olerical. ‘ It is recommended that the maximum allowance for fuel and light at third-class postoffices be Increased from $60, as now fixed by law, to 380 per annum. A lump appropriation of $2,0000 is asked for clerks at first and second-class offices, in- stead of segregating this appropriation into grades of clerks, Money Order Business.

The receipts at the dead letter office of mail mater of all classes and from all sources which could not be dellvered, de- ciphered or were unmailable, were 10,153,528 pleces, an increase of 8% per cent. Mr. Wynne urges legislation to abolish the private letter box abusé fn the large cit- ies; to prevent the beycotting of postoffiices because of political differences, petty jeal- ousies, selfish motives, etc.; to punish the use of & 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.

CONTROL COUNTRY Fremch Steamer Arrives Bringing News of Suecens of Jimines a His Intention to Co Slege of Capit uet NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Consul General Galvan, of San Domingo refused to sign clearance papers for the Clyde line steamer, Cherokee, to the five Dominican ports in the hands of insurgents for which Cherokee salls today, but granted clearance papers for the ports of S8an Domingo and Azua, 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 Cherokes, but that the Clyde line officials refused to ac- 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 glving assurances that Amer- fcan shippers and their interests will be protected. Consul s Passenger, C. L. Maxwell, United States consul to San Domingo, is on Cherokee. Mr. Max- well acknowledged that although on board Cherokee as a passenger he had certain official Instructions to advise the captain of the steamer as to what to do In case of trouble. He sald he would not be sur- prised to find the revolution ended when he reached there. He said: In & way, T have orders to advise the captain of 'this ship in case of contin- gencles, 1 cannot say what my advice ill be untll we reach the spot and I see what confronts us. 1 think Baltimore will be at Monte Christi, out first port of call, before we get there, and in that event the officers will decide what we are to do. If they establish a_blockade and can main- taln it at the five ports named or any one of them, we cannot enter, but to make the blockade effectual, it must be erpetual, by which I mean that the gun- oats which meet us at Monte Christi and revent our entering that harbor cannot 'ollow us to another {\orl 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 same time, but I do not think could ef- fectually blockade more than that. I have heard a rumor that the government has armed fwo salling 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 pler to see Cherokee sail and he still held until the last mipute that he could not clear the vessels for any ports except Aqua and San Domingo. He sal 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 I certilied 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 Danlel Archibald was askel whether in case of being held up by S8an Domingan gunboats he would ask counsel for Mr. Maxwell. He replied: “Why, yes I sup- pose so. I suppose he is offictally in- strycted to give me advice and I will act on what he says. ““Where are your guns?” he was asked. “This is not a fighting ship,” said he. “If thelr gunboats hold me up I shall not risk being fired on. If they have the har- bor of Monte Christi, where I touch first, guarded and tell me not to enter, I shall not try to force my.way in.. The twp gunboats they have are on the yacht order, but carry guns enough to sink me."” Newport to Go to San Dominge. WASHINGTON, Nov. I18.-+Several tele- grams have been exchanged between Ad- miral Taylor, chiet of the bureau of navi- gatlon, and Commander Briggs, command- ing the protected cruiser, Baltimore, which vessel has been crulsing in the Dominican waters safeguarding the interests of the United States. Commander Briggs' reports indicate that the bombardment of San Domingo by the insurréctionists have been “hot.” Having stated that his ¢oal sup- ply was running low, Commander Briggs was authorized to take Baltimore to San Juan for coal and then return to San Domingo City. In order that the interests of the United States In the last named city should not be left unprotected orders were telegraphed to Commander Diehl, com- manding the gunboat Newport at Puerto Plata, on the north coast of Ban Do- mingo, to proceed at once to San Do- mingo City. | Jimines Going te Front. i SAN JUAN, P.
