CONSULAR FEES HIDDEN.
compensation Fixed by Congress
Based on Federal Reports.

One of the unexpected results of the
consular reorganization act now being
placed in operation is the discontinue OF
some consular officers who have been con-
cealing the actual amount of the unoffi-
clal fees of their offices. The practice
was rot dishonest in one sense, for the
,onsuis are in many cases permitted to re-
tain all such fees, but for the sake of the
records of the department and in order
to enable the officials to know the state of
business of the consulates it was required
that all such fees should be accounted for.
Some consuls feared that TO publish the
amount of such fees they received would

when Congress passed the reorganization

system of compensation. There was no
Intention of reducing the compensation of

RECORDS FOR FOREIGN TRADE
Americas Commerce with Other Ma
tions for April Is 1851 900, 900.

The foreign commerce of the United
States for April aggregated 251,OOO,OOO.
Of which S107, 100000 was in imports and
100000 in exports. These figures
are given in a bulletin issued by the bu-
reau of statistics, which says that only
in one previous April in the history of our
export trade has the total of imports and
exports reached as much as S2OO,OOO,OOO.
For the ten months of the fiscal year
1906 ended with April the imports were
1,021 ,OOO,O00 and exports $1,4SS,OOO,OOO.
The total imports and total exports in
1906, says the bulletin, are in each case
likely to be greater than those of any
earlier year and several monthly records
already have been broken. No ten-month
period of any earlier year, the bulletin
says, ever touched the $1,0O0,OOO,OOO line
in imports or reached the 81, O,OOO,OOO
line in exports.
