The Berlin correspondent of a Chi cago paper cabled that the consular corps there was up In arms over the appointment of one "Gabriel B. Hol lis" as consul general at Constanti nople. This post pays $6,000 and it was stated, that other consuls were indignant that the plum should have been given to a man whose name did not appear, in the service regis ter. . - ' It developed subsequently when the charge was called to the attention of the state department, that the ap pointee at Constantinople was Gab riel B.
