. N. Y. Secretaries of State The Department of Foreign Affairs was created by Act of Congress July 27, 1789, and the name changed to Department of State on Sept. 15. Thomas Jefferson, then Minister to France, was appointea Secretary of State by President Washington Sept. 26, and took office March 21, 1790. John Jay, who had held the office of Secretary for Foreign Affairs since his appointment by the Ninth Continental Congress in March 1784, in place of Robert R. Livingston (appointed Jan. 1781), left it in September, 1789, when the U. S. Supreme Court was established with him as Chief Justice. The Secretary of State is charged, under the direction of the President, with the duties appertaining to correspondence with the public ministers and the consuls of the U. S. and with the representatives of foreign powers accredited to the U. S., and to negotiations of whatever character relating to the foreign affairs of the United States. Reciprocal trade treaties between the American and other overnments have been a feature the activities of the Department of State in the recent years, He is the medium of correspondence between the President and the chief executives of the several States of the U. 8.; he has the custody of the great seal of the U. S., and countersigns and affixes such seal to all Executives' proclamations, to various commissions, and to warrants for the extradition of fugitives. He is the custodian of the treaties made with foreign States, and of the laws of the U.S. He grants and issues passports, and exequaturs to foreign consuls in the U, S. are issued through his otce. He publishes the laws and resolutions of Congress, amendments to the Constitution, and proclamations declaring the admission of new States into the Union. Limitations of armament on war ships and the size of those ships have been the subjects of treaties and conventions. The civil war in Spain, the conflict between Japan and China, and between Germany and Poland; the latter backed by Britain and France have kept the Secretary of State busy.
