ber l6, 1881, during which time he was
consul general to London, and from De-
cember rs, 1883, up to the date of filing
suit, during which he was consul general

The United States filed counter claims
stating Badeau asindebted to the United
States for moneys enormously paid him
as army officer for the portions of time
