business from 8 o'clock to 9, and from 3 o'clock to 6, between the 1st of October and 1st of April; and from 8 o'clock to 9, and from 3 o'clock to 4, between the 1st of April and 1st of October; during which hours such attendance will be given as the Secretary may deem necessary to the public service. When, from indisposition or any unforeseen cause, the attendance of any clerk during the day may be impracticable, he will give the earliest notice thereof to the chief clerk. If any one shall desire leave of absence for a longer period than twenty-four hours, he will submit his application to the Secretary, in writing, noting the reasons of his request, and the length of time he desires to be absent.

All foreign newspapers, after they shall have been perused by the Secretary and chief clerk, shall be committed to the diplomatic bureau; and such articles as may be deemed worthy of the particular notice of the Secretary are to be marked, and, if in a foreign language, translated, and submitted to the Secretary. Foreign newspapers are not to be lent to persons unconnected with the Department, without the permission of the Secretary. These rules will be altered or modified, or added to, from time to time, as the state of the service may require, and as the Secretary may in his judgment direct.
