NOTE.-Consular agencies are attached above to the consulates of which they are branch offices. Abbreviations used are: (C. G.), Consul General; (V. C. G.), ViceConsul General; (C.), Consul; (V. C.), Vice-Consul; (A.), Consular Agent.

The Consular Service was reorganized by an act of Congress approved April 5, 1906, and taking effect June 30, 1906. A synopsis of the law appears under "Acts and Resolutions of the Fifty-ninth Congress,' page 118 of The Tribune Almanac for 1907. It abolished the grade of Commercial Agent, divided the cousulates general into seven classes, and the consulates into nine classes. It created five consuls general-at-large to be inspectors of consulates and abolished the fee system of compensation, except for consular agents. Any consular officer receiving more than $1,000 a year must be an American citizen and is prohibited from engaging in business or practising as a lawyer. The provision regarding fees was as follows: "All fees received by any officer in the consular service for services rendered in connection with the duties of his office, including fees for notarial services, and fees for taking depositions, executing commissions or letters rogatory, settling estates, receiving or paying out moneys, caring for or disposing of property, shall be paid into the Treasury, and the only compensation of such officer shall be by salary fixed by law; but this shall not apply to consular agents, who shall be paid by one-half of the fees received in their offices,

up to $1,000 in any one year, the other half being paid into the Treasury. Viceconsuls general, deputy consuls general, vice-consuls, and deputy consuls, in addition to such compensation as they may be entitled to receive as consuls or clerks, may receive such portion of the salaries of the consul general or consuls for whom they act as shall be provided by regulation."

To carry out the provisions of the act of April 5, 1906, President Roosevelt on June 27, 1906, issued the following executive order:

"1.

REGULATIONS GOVERNING APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS.

Vacancies in the office of consul-general and in the office of consul above class 8 shall be filled by promotion from the lower grades of the Consular Service, based upon ability and efficiency as shown in the service.

"2. filled:

Vacancies in the office of consui of class 8 and of consul of class 9 shall be "(a) By promotion on the basis of ability and efficiency as shown in the service, of consular clerks, and of vice-consuls, deputy consuls and consular agents who shall have been appointed to such offices upon examination.

"(b) By new appointments of candidates who have passed a satisfactory examination for appointment as consul as hereafter provided.

"3.

Persons in the service of the Department of State with salaries of $2,000 or upward shall be eligible for promotion, on the basis of ability and efficiency as shown in the service, to any grade of the Consular Service above class 8 of consuls.

"4. The Secretary of State, or such officer of the Department of State as the President shall designate, the chief of the Consular Bureau and the chief examiner of the Civil Service Commission, or some person whom said Commission shall designate, shall constitute a board of examiners for admission to the Consular Service.

"5. It shall be the duty of the board of examiners to formulate rules for and hold examinations of applicants for admission to the Consular Service.

"6. The scope and method of the examinations shall be determined by the board of examiners, but among the subjects shall be included at least one modern language other than English; the natural, industrial and commercial resources and the commerce of the United States, especially with reference to the possibilities of increasing and extending the trade of the United States with foreign countries; political economy; elements of international, commercial and maritime law. Examination papers shall be rated on a scale of 100, and no person rated at less than 80 shall be eligible for certification.

"7.

"8. No one shall be examined who is under twenty-one or over fifty years of age, or who is not a citizen of the United States, or who is not of good character and habits and physically and mentally qualified for the proper performance of consular work, or who has not been specially designated by the President for appointment to the Consular Service subject to examination.

"'9. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the eighth or ninth class of consuls which the President may deem it expedient to fill, the Secretary of State shall inform the board of examiners, who shall certify to him the list of those persons eligible for appointment, accompanying the certificate with a detailed report showing the qualifications, as revealed by examination, of the persons so certified. If it be desired to fill a vacancy in a consulate in a country in which the United States exercises extra-territorial jurisdiction, the Secretary of State shall so inform the board of examiners, who shall include in the list of names certified by it only such persons as have passed the examination provided for in this order, and who also have passed an examination in the fundamental principles of the common law, the rules of evidence and the trial of civil and criminal cases. The list of names which the board of examiners shall certify shall be sent to the President for his information.

"10. No promotion shall be made except for efficiency, as shown by the work that the officer has accomplished, the ability, promptness and diligence displayed by him in the performance of all his official duties, his conduct and his fitness for the Consular Service. "11. It shall be the duty of the board of examiners to formulate rules for and hold examinations of persons designated for appointment as consular clerk, and of such persons designated for appointment as vice-consul, deputy consul and consular agent, as shall desire to become eligible for promotion. The scope and method of such examination shall be determined by the board of examiners, but it shall include the same subjects herein before prescribed for the examination of consuls. Any vice-consul, deputy consul or consular agent now in the service, upon passing such an examination, shall become eligible for promotion, as if appointed upon such examination. 12. In designations for appointment subject to examination and in appointments after examination, due regard will be had to the rule that as between candidates of equal merit appointments should be so made as to secure proportional representation of all the states and territories in the Consular Service; and neither in the designation for examination or certification or appointment will the political affiliations of the candidate be considered."

On November 10, 1905, President Roosevelt issued the following executive order regulating appointments to secretaryships of embassy or legation: "It is hereby ordered that vacancies in the office of secretary of embassy or legation shall hereafter be filled:

"(a) By transfer or promotion from some branch of the Foreign Service, or "(b) By the appointment of a person who, having furnished satisfactory evidence of character, responsibility and capacity, and being thereupon selected by the President for examination, is found upon such examination to be qualified for the position."
