APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE. 1 33
XVIII.-REGUIiATIOIVS CONCERNIIVG PRECEIDEIVCi: OF DIPL.Or»IATIC AGKNTS.
The rules on this subject which have been prescribed by the Department are the same as those
contained in the seven rules of the Congress of Vienna, found in the protocol of the session of March
9, 1815, and in the supplementary or eighth rule of the Congress of Aix la Chapelle of November 21,
1818. They are as follows :
Article I. Diplomatic agents are divided into three classes: That of ambassadors, legates,
or nuncios ; that of envoys, ministers, or other persons accredited to sovereigns; that of charg6s
d'affaires accredited to ministers for foreign affairs.
Art. II. Ambassadors, legates, or nuncios only have the representative character.
Art. III. Diplomatic agents on an extraordinary mission have not, on that account, any supe-
riority of rank.
Art. IV. Diplomatic agents shall take precedence in their respective classes according to the
date of the official notification of their arrival. The present regulation shall not cause any innova-
tion with regard to the representative of the Pope.
Art. V. A uniform mode shall be determined in each state for the reception of diplomatic
agents of each class.
Art. VI. Relations of consanguinity or of family alliance between courts confer no precedence
on their diplomatic agents. The same rule also applies to political alliances.
Art. VII. In acts or treaties between several powers which grant alternate precedence, the
order which is to be observed in the signatures shall be decided by lot between the ministers.
Art. VIII. * * * It is agreed that ministers resident accredited to them shall form, with
respect to their precedence, an intermediate class between ministers of the second class and charg6s
d'affaires.
These rules have been formally or tacitly accepted by all governments except the Ottoman
Porte, which divides diplomatic representatives into three classes only — ambassadors, ministers,
and charges d'affaires.

suls for whom they act as shall be provided by regulation.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
Whereas, The Congress, by Section 1753 of the Revised Statutes of the United States has pro-
vided as follows: —
"The President is authorized to prescribe such regulations for the admission of persons into
the civil service of the United States as may best promote the efficiency thereof, and ascertain the
fitness of each candidate in respect to age, health, character, knowledge, and ability for the branch
of service into which he seeks to enter; and for this purpose he may employ suitable persons to
conduct such inquiries, and may prescribe their duties, and establish regulations for the conduct
of persons who may receive appointments in the civil service."
And, Whereas, it is deemed best for the public interest to extend to the diplomatic service the
aforesaid provision of the Revised Statutes and the general principles embodied in the Civil Service
Act of January i6th, 18S3; —
APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. 1 37
The Secretary of State is hereby directed to report from time to time to the President, along
with his recommendations, the names of those secretaries of the higher grades in the diplomatic
service who by reason of efficient service have demonstrated special capacity for promotion to be
chiefs of mission.
There shall be kept a careful efficiency record of every officer of the diplomatic service, in order
that there may be no promotion except upon well established efficiency as shown in the service,
and that retention in the service may be conditioned upon the officers' maintaining a degree of effi-
ciency well up to the average high standard which the interests of the service demand.
Initial appointments from outside the service to secretaryships in the diplomatic service shall
be only to the Classes of Third Secretary of Embassy, or, in case of higher existent vacancies, of
Second Secretary of Legation, or of Secretary of Legation at such post as has assigned to it but one
secretary. Vacancies in secretaryships of higher classes shall be filled by promotion from the
lower grades of the service, based upon efficiency and ability as shown in the service.
To make it more practicable to extend to the appointment, promotion, transfer, or retention
of secretaries in the diplomatic service the civil service principle of promotion on the basis of effi-
ciency as shown in the service, and in order that the action of the Department may be understood
by the officers concerned, all secretaryships in the diplomatic service shall be graded according to
the importance, volume, difficulty, or other aspects of the work done by each mission in proportion
to the number of men allotted to it, and this classification shall be made known to the members of
the service.
A person separated from a secretaryship in the diplomatic service without delinquency or mis-
conduct at his own request in writing may, within a period of one year from the date of such
separation, be reinstated in the grade from which he was separated, provided he shall have been
originally appointed after the prescribed examination for that grade. In the event, however, that
such separation shall be for the purpose of undertaking other work under the Department of State,
the limitation of one year for eligibility for reinstatement shall not hold. This rule shall be appli-
cable as regards reinstatements to the consular service and also to the Department of State when
transfers shall have been to another branch of the foreign service.
The Third* Assistant Secretary of State, the Solicitor for the Department of State, the Chief of the
Diplomatic Bureau, and the Chief of the Bureau of Appointments, and the Chief Examiner of the
Civil Service Commission or some person whom the Commission shall designate, or such persons
as may be designated to serve in their stead, are hereby constituted a Board whose duty it shall
be to determine the qualifications of persons designated by the President for examination to deter-
mine their fitness for possible appointment as secretaries of embassy or legation.
The examination herein provided for shall be held in Washington at such times as the needs
of the service require. Candidates will be given reasonable notice to attend, and no person shall
be designated to take the examination within thirty days of the time set therefor.
The examinations shall be both oral and in writing and shall include the following subjects: —
international law, diplomatic usage, and a knowledge of at least one modern language other than
English, to wit, French, Spanish, or German; also the natural, industrial and commercial resources
and the commerce of the United States, especially with reference to the possibilities of increasing
and extending the trade of the United States with fo^-eign countries; American history, govern-
ment and institutions; and the modern history since 1850 of Europe, Latin America and the Far
East. The object of the oral examination shall also be to determine the candidate's alertness,
general contemporary information, and natural fitness for the service, including mental, moral,
and physical qualifications, character, address, and general education and good command of Eng-
lish. In this part of the exarpination the applications previously filed will be given due weight by
the Board of Examiners. In the determination of the final rating, the written and oral ratings
shall be of equal weight. A physical examination shall also be included as supplemental.
Examination papers shall be rated on a scale of 100, and no person with a general rating of
less than 80 shall be certified as eligible.
No person shall be certified as eligible who is under twenty-one or over thirty-five f years of age,
or who is not a citizen of the United States, or who is not of good character and habits and physically,

mentally, and temperamentally qualified for the proper performance of diplomatic work, or who has
not been specially designated by the President for appointment to the diplomatic service subject to
examination and subject to the occurrence of an appropriate vacancy.
Upon the conclusion of the examinations, the names of the candidates who shall have attained
upon the whole examination the required mark will be certified by the Board to the Secretary of
State as eligible for appointment.
The names of candidates will remain on the eligible list for two years, except in the case of
such candidates as shall within that period be appointed or shall withdraw their names. Names
which have been on the eligible list for two years will be dropped therefrom and the candidates
concerned will not again be eligible for appointment unless upon fresh application, designation
anew for examination, and the successful passing of such second examination.
Applicants for appointment who are designated to take an examination and who fail to report
therefor, shall not be entitled to take a subsequent examination unless they shall have been spe-
cifically designated to take such subsequent examination.
In designations for appointment subject to examination and in appointments after examina-
tion, due regard will be had to the rule, that as between candidates of equal merit, appointments
• should be made so as to tend to secure proportional representation of all the States and Territories
in the diplomatic service; and neither in the designation for examination or certification or appoint-
ment after examination will the political affiliations of the candidates be considered.
The Board of Examiners is authorized to issue such notices and to make all such rules as it
may deem necessary to accomplish the object of this regulation.
Transfers from one branch of the foreign service to another shall not occur except upon
designation by the President for examination and the successful passing of the examination pre-
scribed for the service to which such transfer is made. Unless the exigencies of the service
imperatively demand it, such person to be transferred shall not have preference in designation for
the taking of the examination or in appointment from the eligible list, but shall follow the course
of procedure prescribed for all applicants for appointment to the service which he desires to enter.
To persons employed in the Department of State at salaries of eighteen hundred dollars or more,
the preceding rule shall not apply and they may be appointed, on the basis of ability and eflSciency,
to any grade of the diplomatic service.
The Secretary of State may, as provided by Rule III of the present Civil Service Rules, request
the Civil Service Commission to hold special examinations for the position of clerk of class two or
above in the Department of State, such examination to follow generally and so far as the Secretary
of State shall deem practicable, the lines of the present foreign service examinations.
In the case of promotions in the Department of State to the grades of clerk of class two or
above, the Secretary of State may require the passing of an examination in the general nature of
the present diplomatic or consular service examinations.
With further reference to the matter of promotions in the Department of State, the Secretary
of State is directed to cause to be kept, as a guide in determining the promotion or retention of the
personnel, a careful record of the efficiency of each clerk in the Department.

dates of the holding of examinations are publicly announced through the press. It is not the prac-
tice to notify applicants individually of the date set for an examination. Examinations are held
in Washington only, and consist of written, oral, and physical tests.
Applications for appointment should be addressed to the Secretary of State.

Applicants for appointment, in their correspondence with the Department, should always sign
their names as given in their applications, without enlargement or contraction.

post or a particular part of the world, but in order to determine his eligibility for assignment to
some post where, in the judgment of the Department, his services would best serve the public
interest.
No special training is accepted in lieu of the prescribed examination.
The Government does not maintain a school for the training of candidates for the foreign serv-
ice; neither does it furnish a course of study in any school or suggest a list of books to be studied.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING SECRETARIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC
SERVICE.
Secretaries of embassy or legation are entrusted with the duty of transcribing the official com-
munications of the head of the mission and of recording the same in books to be carefully pre-
served with the archives of the office, and are expected to perform such other duties of an official
character as may be required of them by their chief of mission. The classification and indexing
of the originals of all despatches, notes, and official communications, the custody of the records,
books, seal and cipher of the embassy or legation are also under their control, subject to the
general supervision and direction of the head of the mission. They are also authorized by statute
to administer oaths, take depositions, and generally to perform notarial acts.
All diplomatic officers are allowed to draw on the Secretary of State at the rate of five cents
per mile for the distance required to be traveled in direct transit to or from their posts, but not
while traveling on leave of absence. They are also allowed compensation at the rate of their
t
salary for the time spent in transit within a maximum period fixed for the post.
When a secretary of embassy or legation acts as charge d'affaires ad interini he is allowed, in
addition to his salary as secretary, the difference between such salary and 50 per centum of the
salary of the chief of the mission.
140 APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.
The statutory leave of absence granted to diplomatic officers annually is sixty days, but it
rests with the Department to determine whether the leave may be granted. When leave of absence
with permission to visit the United States is granted, the transit time, within a maximum period
allowed, is not counted as part of the sixty days.
INFORMATION REGARDING CLERICAL APPOINTMENTS IN THE DIPLOMATIC
SERVICE.
Clerks are employed at the various diplomatic missions and receive compensation varying, as
a rule, from |i,ooo to f 1,800 a year. Their duties embrace bookkeeping, letter writing, recording
correspondence, and routine chancery work. It is usually required that clerks be stenographers
and typewriters and possess a knowledge of the language of the country where they are employed.
They are frequently appointed upon nomination of a chief of mission, but the Department of
State exercises its right to make independent appointments whenever that course appears to be in
the interest of the service. Under the law American citizens only may be appointed to clerkships
in American diplomatic missions.
For such appointments no examination is required, but to become eligible for promotion to
the grade of secretary of embassy or legation a clerk in a diplomatic mission must successfully
pass the prescribed entrance examination.
Applications for clerical appointments should be filed with the Department of State. In view,
however, of the fact that such appointments are frequently made upon the nomination of the prin-
cipal officer under whom service is to be rendered, direct correspondence wich the principal officer
at the post in which the applicant particularly desires to serve is also advisable.
A blank form of application for such an appointment may be had upon application to the
Department of State.
SAMPLE EXAMINATION FOR THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.
The following questions are furnished as suggestive of the character of those comprised in the
examination — for the taking of which two days of six hours each are allowed:
SUBJECT— INTERNATIONAL LAW.
1. (a) State the origin and nature of international law and indicate the chief factors in its
modern development.
{/>) What is the status of international law in American jurisprudence; i. <?., is it regarded as a
branch of municipal law or is it considered a foreign system?
(c) State some of the leading writers in international law, enumerate some text-books on the
subject, and state what books you would refer to if a question of international law arose with
which you are unfamiliar.
2. (a) Upon the execution of Louis XVI, the British Government refused to receive the French
diplomatic agent and sent him his passports. Was the action of the British Government correct?
{i>) Napoleon III began suit in the Supreme Court of the United States. Upon his dethrone-
ment and the establishment of the French Republic on September 3, 1870, it was contended that
the suit abated by reason of the deposition of the Emperor Napoleon. What, in your opinion,
should be the holding on this point?
(c) Cotton owned by the Confederate States was shipped to their agents in Liverpool, who paid
the expenses of transportation, took possession of the cotton, stored it in warehouses, and guarded
it at considerable expense. Upon the fall of the Confederacy the United States filed a bill, praying
to have the cotton delivered to a duly constituted agent of the United Stales. The agents of the
Confederacy seek to enforce a lien on the cotton for their expenses. How, in your opinion, should
the court decide?
3. (a) A local statute forbids fishing within the three-mile limit without a license and forbids,
under penalty of confiscation of the vessel, all fishing on Sunday. The sloop Venturesome began
fishing Sunday morning beyond the three-mile limit, but after the nets, had been laid and the fish
surrounded the Ventiiresojue drifted within the three-mile limit and was apprehended while taking
the fish from the nets placed beyond the three-mile limit, but which had drifted within the limit.
Upon suit brought for confiscation of the vessel, what, in your opinion, would be the holding of
the court?
APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. I4I
(^) Suppose the vessel had begun fishing within the three-mjle limit, and noticing the approach
of a revenue cutter put to sea. The cutter followed, captured the Venturesome upon the high seas,
brought it to port, and began condemnation proceedings. What, in your opinion, should be the
holding of the court?
4. {a) A diplomatic agent, driving his automobile at a rate of speed forbidden by law, runs over
and seriously injures a passer-by. The chauffeur is notified by the police to go with him to the
police station but refuses. The policeman thereupon arrests him, the diplomatic agent protesting
that he must be driven at once to the State Department on important business for his Government.
If consulted, what would you advise the diplomatic agent and the chauffeur as to their rights and
duties in the premises.
(fi) A diplomatic agent leases a house for the period of two years at an annual rental of five
thousand dollars, payable monthly. The agent pays rent for the first three months, but thereafter
neglects to pay the rent when due. At the expiration of a year the owner of the house seeks to
evict the diplomat and files an action to recover the rent due and damages for the breach of the
ease. What, in your opinion, should be the result? Would it make any difference in your answer
if instead of a diplomat the tenant was a consul-general?
5. (a) The late President Castro proceeded to La Guaira upon a French merchant ship. Upon
his arrival in La Guaira the Venezuelan authorities came aboard and demanded Castro, but the
captain refused to deliver him. The Venezuelan authorities thereupon withdrew, and the captain,
fearing that force would be used, transferred Castro to a French man-of-war lying in the harbor.
Upon demand made upon the man-of-war to surrender Castro and refusal, a land battery opened
fire upon the man-of-war. Discuss and distinguish the two situations.
{/>) During the recent revolution in Constantinople one X, a member of the late Turkish Cabi-
net, applied to the American embassy for admission and was admitted. One Y, a member of the
recent Government, indicted for the misappropriation of funds, secretly entered the American em-
bassy. Z, an opponent of the revolution, pursued by a mob, seeks refuge in the American embassy.
What should be the action of the American embassy in each of these cases?
Would it make any difference, in your opinion, if the events described had taken place in Paris
upon the overthrow of Napoleon III or in Brazil upon the expulsion of Dom Pedro?
6. A Japanese army crosses the boundary between Korea and China at 1.30 a. m., on May
15. 19 — • News of the invasion of China by Japanese forces does not reach Manila until May 17,
19 — . On May 16, without any knowledge of the state of affairs created by the invasion of
China, X, Y & Z, an American firm, shipped on board an American steamer a cargo of arms and
ammunition, destined to a Chinese port, in fulfillment of a contract previously entered into. The
vessel is captured by a Japanese cruiser on the ground that war existed between China and Japan.
X, Y & Z asked the good offices of the American embassy at Tokyo to secure the release of the
cargo on the ground that there was no declaration of war and the American shippers did not and
could not know at the date of the shipment of the hostile relation between Japan and China. What
advice would you give to the representative of X, Y & Z?
7. Discuss the effect of war upon trade; upon executory and executed contracts?
8. (rt) Define contraband, state its divisions, and the penalty for its carriage if captured.

Department of State,
Washington, August 12, igoo.
The Government of the United States learns with satisfaction of the appointment of Earl Li
Hung Chang as envoy plenipotentiary to conduct negotiations with the powers, and will, on its
part, enter upon such negotiations with a desire to continue the friendly relations so long existing
between the two countries.
It is evident that there can be uq general negotiation between China and the powers so long as
the ministers of the powers and the persons under their protection remain in their present position
of restraint and danger, and that the powers can not cease their efforts for the delivery of these
representatives, to which they are constrained by the highest considerations of national honor,
except under an arrangement adequate to accomplish a peaceable deliverance.
We are ready to enter into an agreement between the powers and the Chinese Government for
a cessation of hostile demonstrations, on condition that a sufficient body of the forces composing
the relief expedition shall be permitted to enter Peking unmolested and to escort the foreign min-
isters and residents back to Tientsin; this movement being provided for and secured by such
arrangements and dispositions of troops as shall be considered satisfactory by the generals com-
manding the forces composing the relief expedition.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
Whereas, The Congress, by Section 1753 of the Revised Statutes of the United States has pro-
vided as follows:
"The President is authorized to prescribe such regulations for the admission of persons into
the civil service of the United States as may best promote the efficiency thereof, and ascertain the
fitness of each candidate in respect to age, health, character, knowledge, and ability for the branch
of service into which he seeks to enter; and for this purpose he may employ suitable persons to
conduct such inquiries, and may prescribe their duties, and establish regulations for the conduct
of persons who may receive appointments in the civil service."
And, whereas, the Congress has classified and graded the consuls-general and consuls of the
United States by the act entitled "An act to provide for the reorganization of the consular service
of the United States," approved April 5, 1906, and has thereby made it practicable to extend to
that branch of the civil service the aforesaid provisions of the Revised Statutes and the principles
embodied in the Civil Service Act of January 16, 1883.
Now, therefore, in the exercise of the powers conferred upon him by the Constitution and laws
of the United States, the President makes the following regulations to govern the selection of
consuls general and consuls in the civil service of the United States, subject always to the advice
and consent of the Senate: —
1. Vacancies in the office of consul-general and in the office of consul above class 8 shall be
filled by promotion from the lower grades of the consular service, based upon ability and efficiency
as shown in the service.
2. Vacancies in the office of consul of class 8 and of consul of class 9 shall be filled:
{a)* By promotion on the basis of ability and efficiency as shown in the service, of consular
assistants f and of vice consuls, consular agents, student interpreters and interpreters in the con-
sular or diplomatic service, who shall have been appointed to such offices upon examination.
* As amended by Executive orders of December 12, igo6, and April 20, igo?.
+ As amended by the Act approved May 21, 1908.
APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE CONSULAR SERVICE. 145
{^) By new appointments of candidates who have passed a satisfactory examination for
appointment as consul as hereafter provided.
3. Persons in the service of the Department of State w^ith salaries of two thousand dollars or
upwards shall be eligible for pronKnion, on the basis of ability and efficiency as shown in the
service, to any grade of the consular service above class 8 of consuls.
4. The Secretary of State, or such officer of the Department of State as the President shall
designate, the Director of the Consular Service,* the Chief of the Consular Bureau,* and the Chief
Examinerof the Civil Service Commission, or some person whom said Commission shall designate,
shall constitute a Board of Examiners for admission to the consular service.
5. It shall be the duty of the Board of Examiners to formulate rules for and hold examina-
tions of applicants for admission to the consular service.
6. The scope and method of the examinations shall be determined by the Board of Examiners,
but among the subjects shall be included at least one modern language other than English; the
natural, industrial and commercial resources and the commerce of the United States, especially
with reference to the possibilities of increasing and extending the trade of the United States with
foreign countries; political economy; elements of international, commercial and maritime law.
7. Examination papers shall be rated on a scale of 100, and no person rated at less than 80
shall be eligible for certification.
8. No one shall be examined who is under twenty-one or over fifty years of age, or who is
not a citizen of the United States, or who is not of good character and habits and physically and
mentally qualified for the proper performance of consular work, or who has not been specially
designated by the President for appointment to the consular service subject to examination.
g. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in the eighth or ninth class of consuls which the President
may deem it expedient to fill, the Secretary of State shall inform the Board of Examiners, who
shall certify to him the list of those persons eligible for appointment, accompanying the certifi-
cate with a detailed report showing the qualifications, as revealed by examination, of the persons
so certified. If it be desired to fill a vacancy in a consulate in a country in which the United States
exercises extra-territorial jurisdiction, the Secretary of State shall so inform the Board of Exam-
iners, who shall include in the list of names certified by it only such persons as have passed the
examination provided for in this order, and who also have passed an examination in the funda-
mental principles of the common law, the rules of evidence and the trial of civil and criminal cases.
The list of names which the Board of Examiners shall certify shall be sent to the President for his
information.
10. No promotion shall be made except for efficiency, as shown by the work that the officer
has accomplished, the ability, promptness and diligence displayed by him in the performance of
all his official duties, his conduct and his fitness for the consular service.
II. t It shall be the duty of the Board of Examiners to formulate rules for and hold examina-
tions of persons designated for appointment as consular assistant X or as student interpreter, and of
such persons designated for appointment as vice consul and consular agent, as shall desire to
become eligible for promotion. The scope and method of such examination shall be determined
by the Board of Examiners, but it shall include the same subjects hereinbefore prescribed for the
examination of consuls. Any vice consul or consular agent now in the service, upon passing such
an examination shall become eligible for promotion, as if appointed upon such examination.
12. In designations for appointment subject to examination and in appointments after exam-
ination, due regard will be had to the rule, that as between candidates of equal merit, appointments
should be so made as to secure proportional representation of all the States and Territories in the
consular service; and neither in the designation for examination or certification or appointment
will the political affiliations of the candidate be considered.

REGULATIONS GOVERNING EXAMINATIONS FOR THE CONSULAR SERVICE
PROMULGATED BY THE BOARD OF EXAMINERS DECEMBER 13, 1906.
I. The examinations will be the same for all grades and will be to determine a candidate's
eligibility for appointment in the consular service, irrespective of the grade for which he may have
been designated for examination and without regard to any particular office for which he may be
selected.
' 2. The examinations will consist of an oral and a written one, the two counting equally. The
object of the oral examination will be to determine the candidate's business ability, alertness,
general contemporary information, and natural fitness for the service, including moral, mental,
and physical qualifications, character, address, and general education and good command of
English. In this part of the examination the applications previously filed will be given due weight
by the Board of Examiners, especially as evidence of the applicant's business experience and
ability. The written examination will include those subjects mentioned in the Executive order,
to wit, at least one modern language other than English — French, German, or Spanish;* the
natural, industrial, and commercial resources and the commerce of the United States, especially
with reference to possibilities of increasing and extending the foreign trade of the United States;
political economy, and the elements of international, commercial, and maritime law. It will like-
wise include American history, government, and institutions; political and commercial geography;
arithmetic (as used in commercial statistics, tariff calculations, exchange, accounts, etc.); the
modern history, since 1850, of Europe, Latin America, and the Far East, with particular attention
to political, commercial, and economic tendencies. In the written examination, composition
grammar, punctuation, spelling, and writing will be given attention.
3. To become eligible for appointment, except as student interpreter, in a country where the
United States exercises extraterritorial jurisdiction, the applicant must pass the examination
outlined above, but sup[)lemented by questions to determine his knowledge of the fundamental
principles of common law, the rules of evidence, and the trial of civil and criminal cases.
4. The examinations to be given candidates for appointment as student interpreters will follow
the same course as in the case of other consular officers, provided, however, that no one will be
examined for admission to the consular service as a student interpreter who is not between the
ages of nineteen and twenty-six, inclusive, and unmarried; and, provided further, that upon
appointment each student interpreter shall sign an agreement to continue in the service so long as
his services may be required, within a period of five f years.
5. Upon the conclusion of the examinations the names of the candidates who shall have
attained upon the whole examination an average mark of at least eighty, as required by the Execu-
tive order, will be certified by the Board to the Secretary of State as eligible for appointment in the
consular service, and the successful candidates will be informed that this has been done.
*As amended by the Board of Examiners February 18, igii.
t As amended by the Act approved May 2j, igo8.
APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE CONSULAR SERVICE. 147
6. The names of candidates will remain on the eligible list for two years, except in the case of
such candidates as shall within that period be appointed, or as shall withdraw their names, and of
candidates holding subordinate positions in the consular service, when eligibility shall not expire
until appointment to consular rank or until separation from the service. Candidates whose names
have thus been dropped from the eligible list will not again be eligible for appointment unless
upon fresh application, designation anew for examination, and the successful passing of such
second examination.*
INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS DESIRING APPOINTMENT IN THE CONSULAR
SERVICE.
Consular-service examinations are held usually once a year, in Washington only.
No one may be examined who is not especially designated to take the examination. The letter
of designation furnishes all information necessary as to date, place, etc., of the examination.
Traveling and other personal expenses connected with the taking of examinations must be borne
by the candi'dates.
A general notice of examinations is announced through the public press. Notice is not sent
to all applicants, but only to those designated for examination.
Blank forms of application for appointment may be had upon application to the Department
of State.
Although designations for examination are made by the President, applications for appoint-
ment should be addressed to the Secretary of State.
An application is considered as pending for a period of two years. After such period has
elapsed without its being acted upon, another application with indorsements will be necessary to
obtain for it further consideration.
Applicants for appointment, in their correspondence with the Department, should always sign
their names as given in their applications, without enlargement or contraction.
Originals of all endorsements listed in the application must be filed therewith, copies thereof
not being acceptable.
A candidate is not designated for examination with a view to his assignment to a particular
post or a particular part of the world, but in order to determine his eligibility for appointment to
class eight or nine. He may be assigned to any post where, in the judgment of the Department,
his services would best serve the public interests.
The Government does not maintain a school for the training of candidates for the foreign
service; does not recommend any particular institution ; does not suggest a list of books to be
studied, nor furnish a course of study in any school.
No special training is accepted in lieu of the prescribed examination, and no transfers, without
examination, are made to the consular service from other branches of the Government service.
The successful passing of the regular entrance examination, except as provided for in regulations
2 and 3 of the Executive order of June 27, 1906, is necessary for appointment.
The Department publishes no list of vacant posts and is not able definitely to forecast when
vacancies in the service may occur.
Clerks in consular offices, vice consuls, and consular agents are appointed without examina-
tion, but are only eligible for appointment to the grade of consul upon the passing of the regular
entrance examination.
Appointments to the consular service are made only after a rigid physical examination of the
candidate.
It is not the practice of the Department to designate for examination vice consuls, clerks in
consulates, or consular agents until they have served at least two years.
The written language examinations include papers in French, German, and Spanish only, and
no other language will be accepted in lieu of one of these. An oral examination is also given the
candidate, in the language selected by him in his written examination, to test his ability to con-
verse in that language. He may also present in his oral examination any other languages with
which he may be familiar.
*As amended by the Board of Examiners October 25, ign.
148 APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE CONSULAR SERVICE.
Dependent upon the number of candidates, the examinations last from three to six days. The
written part of the examination covers a period of two days of six hours each. The first four sub-
jects will be given on the first day, and the remaining subjects on the day following, probably in
the order'presented in the sample examination.
GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING CONSULAR OFFICERS.
DUTIES OF CONSULAR OFFICERS,
Consular officers are expected to endeavor to maintain and promote all the rightful interests of
American citizens, and to protect them in all privileges provided for by treaty or conceded by usage;
to visa and, when so authorized, to issue passports; when permitted by treaty, law, or usage, to
take charge of and settle the personal estates of Americans who may die abroad without legal or
other representatives, and remit the proceeds to the Treasury in case they are not called for by a
legal representative within one year; to ship, discharge, and, under certain conditions, maintain
and send American seamen to the United States; to settle disputes between masters and seamen of
American vessels; to investigate charges of mutiny or insubordination on the high seas and send
mutineers to the United States fof trial; to render assistance in the case of wrecked or stranded
American vessels, and, in the absence of the master or other qualified person, take charge of the
wrecks and cargoes if permitted to do so by the laws of the country; to receive the papers of
American vessels arriving at foreign ports and deliver them after the discharge of the obligations
of the vessels toward the members of their crews, and upon the production of clearances from the
proper foreign port officials; to certify to the correctness of the valuation of merchandise exported
to the United States where the shipment amounts to more than $100; to act as official witnesses to
marriages of American citizens abroad; to aid in the enforcement of the immigration laws, and to
certify to the correctness of the certificates issued by Chinese and other officials to Chinese persons
coming to the United States; to protect the health of our seaports by reporting weekly the sanitary
and health conditions of the ports at which they reside, and by issuing to vessels clearing for the
United States bills of health describing the condition of the ports, the vessels, crews, passengers,
and cargoes; and to take depositions and perform other acts which notaries public in the United
States are authorized or required to perform. A duty of prime importance is the promotion of
American commerce by reporting available opportunities for the introduction of our products,
aiding in the establishment of relations between American and foreign commercial houses, and
lending assistance wherever practicable to the marketing of American merchandise abroad.
In addition to the foregoing duties, consular officers in China, Turkey, Siam, Morocco, and a
few other so-called non-Christian countries, are invested with judicial powers over American citi-
zens in those countries. These powers are usually defined by treaty, but generally include the
trial of civil cases to which Americans are parties, and in some instances extend to the trial of
criminal cases.
VICE-CONSULAR OFFICERS.
A vice-consular officer takes the place and exercises all the functions or powers of a consul-
general or consul when the latter is temporarily absent or relieved from duty. When a vice-con-
sul is lawfully authorized to assume charge of a consulate general or consulate during the absence
of the principal officer at the post to which he shall have been appointed or assigned, he shall be
entitled to receive, in addition to his regular salary or compensation as a subordinate consular
officer or employee, compensation equal to the difference between such salary or compensation
and 50 per centum of the salary provided by law for the principal consular officer at such post.
It is usual to give a vice-consul regular employment as a clerk in the consular office, in "which
case he receives regular compensation at the rate of from $300 to Jpi.soo a year, according to the
importance of the office and the nature of the work to be performed. For such appointments no
examination is required, but to become eligible for promotion to the grade of consul a vice-consular
officer must successfully pass the prescribed entrance examination.
APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE CONSULAR SERVICE. 1 49
CONSULAR AGENTS.
A consular agent is an officer subordinate to a consul-general or consul, exercising similar
powers at ports or places different from those at which the consulate-general or consulate is situated.
He acts under the direction of his principal, and one half of the fees collected by him constitute his
compensation, which may not exceed $1,000 in any one year.
CONSULAR ASSISTANTS.
There are forty consular assistants, who are appointed by the President and hold office
during good behavior. They may be assigned, from time to time, to such consular offices and
with such duties as the Secretary of State may direct. When so assigned they are subordinate to
the principal officer at the post, and perform such clerical or other duties of the office as he may
designate. They receive a salary of $1,000 a year for the first three years, and thereafter $200 a
year additional each succeeding year until a maximum of $1,800 is reached. Candidates for the
office of consular assistant must be over twenty-one years of age. Consular assistants are eligible
for promotion to the grade of consul without further examination.
CLERKS IN CONSULAR OFFICES.
Clerks are employed at the various consular offices and receive compensation varying, as a
rule, from $300 to $1,500 a year, beginning with their arrival and entrance upon duty at the con-
sular office. Their duties embrace bookkeeping, letter writing, recording correspondence, and
routine consular work. It is usually required that they be stenographers and typewriters and
possess a knowledge of the language of the country where they are employed. They are frequently
appointed upon nomination of a consul-general or consul, but the Department of State exercises
its right to make independent appointments whenever that course appears to be in the interest
of the service. Preference is given to American citizens for clerkships of all grades, and only
such citizens will be considered for appointment to positions the compensation of which is $1,000
a year or more.
For such appointments no examination is required, but to become eligible for promotion to
the grade of student interpreter, consular assistant, or consul a clerk in a consular office must
successfully pass the prescribed entrance examination.
Applications for clerical appointments should be filed with the Department of State. In view,
however, of the fact that such appointments are frequently made upon the nomination of the prin-
cipal officer under whom service is to be rendered, direct correspondence with the principal officer
at the post in which the applicant particularly desires to serve is also advisable.
STUDENT INTERPRETERS.
Provision is made for ten student interpreters at the legation to China, six at the embassy to
Japan, and ten at the embassy to Turkey. These officers receive annual salaries of $1,000 and
allowances for tuition of $180 each in China and $125 each in Japan and Turkey, and are required
to study the language of the country with a view of supplying interpreters to the American diplo-
matic and consular offices in China, Japan, and Turkey. Upon receiving an appointment each
student interpreter is required to sign an agreement to continue in the service as interpreter to the
legations and consulates so long as his services may be required within a period of five years.
After acquiring the language of the country, they may be assigned to duty in diplomatic or con-
sular offices, and are eligible to promotion to the office of interpreter and to that of consul of class
8 or 9.
MARSHALS FOR CONSULAR COURTS.
Marshals are provided for certain of the consular courts in China and at Constantinople,
Turkey, where the American consuls are invested with judicial powers over American citizens.
It is the duty of marshals to execute all process issued by the ambassador or minister of the
United States, or by the consuls at the ports at wKich they reside, and to make due return thereof,
and to perform the duties comprehended in the consular court regulations. They are also required
to assist in the general work of the consulates.
150 APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE CONSULAR SERVICE.
COMPENSATION OF CONSULAR OFFICERS.
All consular officers whose respective salaries exceed |i, 000 a year are prohibited from engag-
ing in private business in the country in which they have their official residence, and the Depart-
ment may extend this prohibition to any other consular officer or employee. Consular officers
are required to account for all fees collected by them, and the salaries fixed by law or regulation
constitute their sole and only compensation, except as specially provided in the case of consular
agents, who are compensated, up to the limit of $1,000, by one-half of the fees collected by them.
TRAVELING EXPENSES.
Consuls-general, consuls, and student interpreters are entitled to additional compensation of
five cents a mile when traveling under orders of the Secretary of State, and in going to and
returning from their posts, except in connection with leaves of absence. Consular assistants are
allowed actual and necessary traveling expenses, but no provision is made for traveling expenses
of clerks in consular offices.
EXAMINATIONS.
As will be seen by reference to the foregoing regulations for promotion and examination, all
candidates for the offices of consul of class 8 or 9, consular assistant, and student interpreter, and also
candidates for the offices of vice consul and consular agent who may desire to become eligible for
promotion are required to pass the prescribed examination. Candidates for the offices of vice con-
sul and consular agent who do not desire to become eligible for promotion, and of clerk in a con-
sular office, are not required to be examined.
SAMPLE EXAMINATION FOR THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

Mr. A. M., Florence, Italy. Chicago, Dec. 17, igu.
Sir: We are in receipt of your favor of the 14th inst., and regret very much our inability to
reduce the prices that we quoted. We should be sorry if the price list furnished interfered in any
way with our entering into business relations with your firm, with which we have long desired to
cooperate. Your offers, however, are so much below prices current that we prefer to lose an order
rather than to cut our profits below a paying basis. For two months past textiles have been look-
ing up, and, in line with other manufacturers, we should rather raise than lower quotations. In
fact, we have decided to revise our price list on January i, and prices will be, on an average, 5 per
cent higher. We would advise you, therefore, to avail yourself of present favorable conditions by
sending us an order at the prices quoted you, and we trust that you may see your way clear to do
this. Awaiting your reply, \^e are.
Your obedient servants, B. & C.

XXII.— REGUliATIOIVS GOVEBiXI.'VG I!VTERPRETEBS A!VD STUDEIVT IIVTERPRE-
TERS IIV CHIIVA, JAPAIS, JLTUD TURKEY.
1. Vacancies in the grade of student interpreter in China, Japan and Turkey shall be filled by
the appointment of persons who have successfully passed the examination for student interpreter
prescribed by the Executive Order of June 27, 1906.*
2. After appointment, student interpreters will report for duty to the head of the mission to
which they are to be attached in China, Japan or Turkey, as the case may be, upon receiving
instructions to do so from the Secretary of State.
3. After entering upon their duties at the mission, students will be expected to devote their
time, under the supervision of the head of the mission and under the immediate direction of the
language secretary thereof, to the study of the language of the country. Their retention in the
service will depend upon their progress in mastering the language and upon their industry and
good conduct. In order to determine their progress they will be examined quarterly by the
language officer, a report of which examinations will be made annually to the chief of mission
and be transmitted by him to the Secretary of State with his own report upon the general
efficiency, adaptability, loyalty, good moral conduct and standing of each student. The substance
of these reports will be entered upon the record of each student at the Department of State.
4. In forwarding his first annual report upon each student at the end of one year after the
student's arrival at the diplomatic mission, the chief of the mission will report to the Secretary of
State whether in his opinion and that of the language officer of the mission the student has shown
by progress in his studies and by his conduct and bearing that he possesses the qualifications
indispensable for successful work as an interpreter. If his opinion should be unfavorable to the
student, he will recommend, either that the student be assigned to some subordinate position,
which, in his opinion, the student may be capable of filling, or that he be dropped from the service,
and his report should be accompanied by the examination papers.
5. Except as otherwise provided herein, students shall remain attached to missions for at least
two years. Upon the completion of two years' study of the language of the country, they will be
examined for the purpose of determining their eligibility for promotion to the grade of Interpreter
by a board composed of the language officer and two qualified Americans designated by the chief
of the mission. The examination shall be both oral and written and shall test the student's
knowledge of moderately difficult written and spoken language of the country, together with the
history, geography, commerce and institutions of the country and an elementary knowledge of
such of the laws of the country as may pertain to the duties which they may ultimately be called
upon to perform, either as interpreters or consular officers. Students in Turkey will also be
examined in the French language. In order to pass the examination students must receive a
rating of 80 on a scale of 100. A report of the result of the examination, accompanied by the
papers in the written examination and a detailed report of the special qualifications, industry,
moral conduct and dependableness of each student will be made by the head of the mission to
the Secretary' of State for his consideration in determining the student's eligibility for promotion
and for entry upon the efficiency records of the students. Inasmuch as in the interests of uni-
formity in the three branches of the Student corps, it is necessary that the Department review the

1^6 INTERPRETERS AND STUDENT INTERPRETERS.
examinations of the Students, no information as to the grades given by the Board of examiners
or the recommendations by the head of the mission should be given the candidates except upon
specific authorization from the Department.
6. Students who successfully pass the foregoing examination, and whose efficiency records are
in other respects satisfactory, may be given the rank of Interpreter, at a salary of |i,500 per
annum; provided that there shall be not more than three Interpreters at this salary in Japan, seven
in China, and five in Turkey. If at the completion of the first period of two years' study the
student shall be unable to pass the prescribed examination, he shall be permitted, at the discretion
of the chief of mission and language officer, to continue his studies at the mission for not more
than one year longer.
7. Two years after passing the foregoing examination, a second will be given, more difficult
than the first but similar in scope, except that it shall include international and commercial law
and an intimate knowledge of Consular Regulations and practice. Interpreters or students pass-
ing the second examination with a rating of at least 80 may be promoted to be Interpreters with a
salary of $1,650 per annum; provided, that there shall be not more than two such Interpreters in
Japan, four in China and four in Turkey. Candidates who fail to pass this examination may be
given an opportunity to appear for reexamination one year later. It is intended that success in
this second examination shall indicate the student as qualified for the post of Assistant Japanese,
Chinese, or Turkish Secretary at the diplomatic mission in Japan, China, or Turkey, as the case
may be, or, if in China, of Assistant Assessor on the Mixed Court at Shanghai.
8. Two years after the passage of the second examination, there will be given the final exami-
nation, which will be more diflScult but of similar scope, with the additional requirement of a fair
knowledge of common, criminal, and admiralty law and practice. On passing this examination,
promotion may be made to be Interpreter, with a salary of |i,8oo per annum; provided, that in the
service there shall be not more than two such Interpreters in Japan, three in China and two in
Turkey. Such rank shall indicate the Interpreter as qualified for the grade of consul or for the
post of Japanese, Chinese, or Turkish Secretary at the diplomatic mission, or, if in China, the
Interpreters shall be eligible for promotion to the office of Assessor on the Mixed Court at Shanghai.
g. All examinations will take place at the diplomatic mission in the country of which the
students or interpreters are studying the language. In the event, however, that the exigencies of
the service shall not permit the students or the interpreters to return to Tokyo, Peking, or Constan-
tinople for the purpose of taking the required examinations, the Ambassador or Minister, as the
case may be, after the preparation of the papers by the language officer, shall mail them in per-
sonal and sealed envelopes to the consul in whose office the interpreter is serving, and said con-
sular officer shall conduct the written examination in the same manner as if it were being held in
Tokyo, Peking or Constantinople.
10. Special examinations prior to the termination of the specified periods may be arranged for
such students or interpreters as may submit with their applications evidence of such familiarity
with the subjects prescribed as to justify the holding of a special examination.
11. The chiefs of mission concerned will exercise a supervisory control over the movements
of the student interpreters and interpreters and make such transfers, subject to the approval of the
Secretary of State, as may be deemed advisable in order that the officers may receive the broaden-
ing influence resulting from a knowledge of conditions at the various posts. Students attached to
a mission may be required, at the discretion of the chief of mission, to perform some minor part
of the official work of the mission, to the end that they may gain useful knowledge of the mode of
transacting the routine business of the foreign service. It should be understood, however, that
the students' first duty is to acquire the language and no other duties should be permitted to inter-
fere with that object.
12. Notwithstanding the requirement that students shall pursue their studies at the mission
for at least two years after their appointment, the Secretary of State may at any time detach a
student and assign him to other duty to meet an exigency of the service; but such special assign
ment shall not relieve the student from the obligation to continue his study of the language and to
sul)inii himself for examination in the language as elsewhere provided, unless expressly stated in
the order assigning him to special duty.
13. It is desired that student interpreters and interpreters shall not marry until they have been
in the service for a period of at least four years.
INTERPRETERS AND STUDENT INTERPRETERS. 1 57
14. As soon as student interpreters shall have been promoted to the rank of Interpreter, they
may be granted leave of absence for a period not to exceed sixty days (exclusive of transit time,
when permission to visit the United States is expressly granted). The application for such leave
of absence shall be made to the Secretary of State and must receive the approval of the officer
under whom the Interpreter may be serving at the time. Subsequently to the first leave of absence,
those provisions of the Consular Regulations which govern the granting of leaves of absence shall
apply to the interpreter corps.

INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS DESIRING APPOINTMENT TO THE STUDENT-
INTERPRETER CORPS.
The appointment of ten student interpreters to be attached to the legation to China, six to be
attached to the embassy to Japan, and ten to be attached to the embassy to Turkey is provided for
by law.
Student interpreters are appointed to study the language of the country to which they are
assigned for duty, that they may be qualified for appointment as interpreters to the diplomatic
mission or consular offices in that country.
The salary of student interpreters is fixed by law at $1,000 per annum. They are entitled to
additional compensation of 5 cents a mile when traveling under orders of the Secretary of State,
and in going to and returning from their posts, except in connection with leaves of absence. For
each student's tuition there is an annual allowance of f 180 in China and f r25 in Japan and Turkey,
while quarters for them are also provided at both Tokyo and Peking.
Blank forms of application will be furnished by the Department of State upon request.
Only citizens of the United States are appointed as student interpreters.
The legal residence of a minor is regarded as that of his parent or guardian for the purposes
of appointment as student interpreter.
To aid the Board of Examiners in determining the physical condition of candidates, all candi-
dates who have been designated to take the entrance examination are, at the time of the mental
examination, given a rigid physical examination by a surgeon designated for that purpose.
All foreign-service examinations are held in Washington, and usually last from three to five
days, dependent upon the number of candidates to be examined. Traveling and other personal
expenses in connection with the taking of the examinations must be borne by the candidates.
Examinations are not held at regularly stated periods, but only at such times as it is deemed
expedient to replenish the list of those eligible for appointment as student interpreter. The dates
of the holding of examinations are publicly announced through the press. Announcements are
not sent to all applicants, but only to those designated for examination.
Although designations for examination are made by the President, applications for appoint-
ment should be addressed to the Secretary of State.
No one may be examined who is not especially designated. The letter of designation fur-
nishes all information necessary as to date, place, etc., of examination.
An application is considered as pending for a period of two years. After that period has
elapsed without its being acted upon, another application with indorsements will be necessary to
obtain for it further consideration.
Applicants for appointment, in their correspondence with the Department, should always sign
their names as given in their applications, without enlargement or contraction. The originals of
all letters of endorsement listed in the application must be filed therewith, copies thereof not being
acceptable.
A candidate is not designated for examination with a view to his appointment to a particular
country of the three where student interpreters are stationed, but in order to determine his eligi-
bility for appointment to the country where, in the judgment of the Department, his services would
best serve the public interests.
1^8 COMMISSIONS, BOARDS, ETC.
No special training is accepted in lieu of the prescribed examination, and no transfers are
made to the student-inteipreter corps from other branches of the Government service without
examination. The successful passing of the regular entrance examination is necessary for
appointment.
The Government does not maintain a school for the training of candidates for the foreign
service; does not furnish a course of study, nor suggest a list of books to be studied.
The Department is not able definitely to forecast when vacancies in the service may occur.
For sample examination for the student interpreter corps see page 150.

In 1876, as the result of negotiations between the Ottoman and Egyptian Governments and the
various Christian powers having representatives at Cairo, certain courts were created in Egypt for
the trial of civil and commercial causes arising between natives and foreigners of diiTerent nation-
ality, as well as all questions of real estate between any person and suits of foreigners against
the Egyptian Government and members of the Khedival family. These mixed tribunals, in civil
matters within their exclusive jurisdiction, superseded the consular courts. A mixed tribunal con-
sists of five judges, three of whom are foreigners and two natives. The foreign judges are
appointed by the Khedive on the recommendation of the great powers, each of which is represented
by from one to three judges. There are three tribunals of original jurisdiction (first instance),
one each at Cairo, Alexandria, and Mansura, and a court of appeals at .Mexandria. The Lhiited
