SINCE the annexation of Hawaii
Frederick w. Job, who was consul gen
eral for that country, occupies a unique
position. Hawaii, being now part Of
the United States, has no consul here,
but Mr.. Job continues to perform all
his former duties. No invoice can be
sent from this country to Hawaii with
out being certified by him. The last
congress did not legislate on this mat
ter or make any provision to cover the
situation, and Mr.. Job appears to be
