state department is $4,000 a year,
while the salary of the consul general
at Singapore is $4,000.
Mr.. Dubois has made a fine record
in the government service. He was
appointed United States commercial
agent at AK la Chapelle November 2,
1877, and three years later was pro-
NOTED to the grade of United States
consul and assigned to duty at Callao,
Peru, but declined that position.
In November, 1888, he was appoint
ed United States consul at Leipzig
and served creditably at that post for
three years, when he resigned to re-
sumo journalistic work in this coun-
try. In November, 1897, he returned
to the consular service as United
States consul general at ST. Gall,
Switzerland, where he remained until
July, 1901, when he was summoned to
Washington to assume the duties OF
law clerk of the state department.
Mr. Dubois was born in Hallstead,
Pa, in 1850, and was educated at
Ithaca academy and Cornell uni
versity He has always been more or
less identified with newspapers and
magazines and is regarded as a writer
of great ability. For five years he was
editor of the old National Republican
