business in tlieir respective provinces ; these
di gests are presented to tlie Senate, and are
distributed among the members of the Diet. The
head senators and the deputy-heads of the sections
make tours of inspection through the country.
As regards the authority of the Administrative
Department, its action depends on the character
of the matters which are dealt with. Those of
a nature to require the Sovereign’s decision take
the form of projects or resolutions, which the
department submits to His Majesty. Such are :
measures of reform in the administrative
organisation, the creation of new offices, the fixing
of the budget and every financial proposal
lying outside the estimates already settled,
appointments to the higher offices of State, the
naturalisation of foreigners, legislative acts
in the province of the administration, which
do not require the co-operation of the Diet
nor appertain to the Plenum of the Senate.
The Administrative Department advises on
projects of international conventions upon
economical matters.
