The offices of our consuls invarious European cities are besieged by multitudes of emigrants seeking visds so that they may come to the United States: Long lines of these unfoitunates stand in -wait day by -day.: Sometimes weeks are consumed before the emigrant can learn from the consul what is required of him. Necessarily our consular offices are not equippedfor this business. They have not sufficient clerical force.
