OUR CONSULAR SERVICE.
Cost Of Maintaining Representa-
tiVeS in Foreign Lands.

Fifth Auditor Eckhof, of the United
States, in his annual report, says that the
cost of the Consular service for 1887 was re-
ported at 1918, 973, which, taken from the
fees 1880, 600, left an excess of receipts for
that year of S31, III. An excess of more
than double this sum is shown in the state
ment for 1888. There were twenty-four
Consulates added to the salared list for 1883
which were before compensated from fees.
This had the effect to enhance the expenses,
yet the increase in the expenses of the SER
vice over those for 1897, the Auditor says, is
not nearly proportionate to that of the re-
ceipts from fees There were 1912 destitute
seamen relieved in 1888, as against $50 in
1887, at an additional cost to the Govern
ment Of $5524.
