That is, he is commissioned by that governinent to look after the interests of any of her people or business affairs that may come under hisjurisdiction in certain prescribed limits. The picture that accompanies the artiele, which we quote helow, is something horrible to gaze upon, and looks as much like the Fred of University daya as Grover looks like Carliale, for instance.
