The CASE OF CONSUL LEWIS. Secretary Blaine
has not yet reached full decision in the case
of United States Consul Lewis, against whom
serious charges were made concerning his ac-
tions while at Tangier, Morocco. The Secretary
has, however, acquitted Mr.. Lewis Of the char ge
made against him by Ramon Azoque the for
mer interpreter at the Tangier consulate, OF
withholding money due the latter for fifteen
months services. The records of the depart
ment show that Azoque was paid in full for the
time he contracted to serve and that no formal
arrangement Of which the department had
cognizance had been entered into for his serv-
ices during the period mentioned.

vided equally between MaryIa land aud Virginia.
Much to our qualification Maryland came Cd
victorious, winning the 6rst and second hon
ors leaving the remaining two to its comrsti,or.
