Gracey, acting merican Consul-General, that he is in receipt of news by private telegram to the effect that the Bill providing for the re-organiza- tion of the American Consular Service has passed two houses of Congress and become law, and will probably go into effect about the. 1st July. This Bill makes many changes for the service. It provides for the classification | nt consular officers in grades; gives the Pre- sident authority to transfer officers from one station to another; provides an inspection service with five inspectors, who will rank as consuls-general receiving compensation of $5,000 per annum, and all travelling expenses; requires that all clerks at constates shall be
