Governments to authorize Consuls to ex-
tend such relief to their citizens or subjects
in certain cases. "A similar authority and
an appropriation to carry it into effect, are

own officers, who usually, even with the
most benevolent disposition, have nothing
TO spare for such purposes. Should the au-

granted, care will be taken to carry the be.
