Two years later he took a civil service examination for the position of law clerk in the Department of State in Washington. He was one of just four people to pass that test and ultimately received the job. From 1886 to 1891, he worked as third assistant secretary of state.

He was a special counsel for several lawyers and corporations and was director of the Equitable Life Assurance Society.
