His objective was "to look at the accounts of consular officers and to find out how their affairs were conducted abroad." Engaged in the assignment from August 1870 through December 1872, Keim traveled a total of 47,685 miles while "visiting posts in Japan, China, the Malay Peninsula, Java, India, and Egypt, and on the east and west coasts of Latin America, including the Isthmus of Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil".<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <blockquote><p>At some ports I have found gentlemen worthy of the name of consul of the United States struggling under a miserable pittance from the Government, and yet now have the respect of those around them by their personal demeanor. At other ports I have found men unworthy of the commission they held, living in elegance out of the moneys of the Government, or worse still, living upon the benefits of a humane law, which properly applied would lessen the sufferings of the American sailor.... Almost every consulate had some defects in its history, owing to the incompetency, low habits and vulgarity of some of its officers, during the endless round of evils incident to official rotation. Abuses had been committed in the collection of fees; in the exercise of judicial powers; in the adjustment of business affairs of American citizens; in the settlement, where permitted, of the estates of intestate American citizens dying abroad; in selling the American flag; in "running out" ships; in discharging seamen; in affording relief or medical attendance to destitute or sick American seamen; in establishing American settlements abroad; in issuing illegal passports; in countenancing shipping masters; in taxing Chinese immigrants.</p></blockquote> <p>Arriving first at a consular office in Japan, Keim determined that the consul there was "utterly inacapable", was "ignorant of the law", and had charged visitors illegally "for advice given on judicial and consular matters." In China, he discovered that Consul General George F. Seward had enriched himself by keeping the fees from his sale of "licenses to bars and boardinghouses in the American part of Shanghai", diverting the seamen's funds at his disposal to speculative ventures, and "selling the privilege of flying the American flag to Chinese owners of junks, granting them certain immunities and advantages in the river and coastal trade." Keim did, however, have praise for at least one consul general—<a href="/wiki/Charles_W._LeGendre" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles W. LeGendre">Charles W. LeGendre</a>—for the appropriate and economical operation of the consular jail in his assigned territory (Amoy).

As his inspection tour progressed, Keim noted that the records management and seamen's support services in Java and India were among the few that were being handled appropriately, and that staff at other offices were sincerely trying to "[clean] up the messes left behind by less scrupulous predecessors [and] run straightforward operations with balanced and accurate books", according to Kennedy.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During this assignment, Keim reportedly also came into possession of a copy of a decree from the government of China concerning the <a href="/wiki/Tientsin_Massacre" class="mw-redirect" title="Tientsin Massacre">Tientsin Massacre</a>.
