no AMBASSADORS IN WASHINGTON
Another common mistake Of Ignorant peopls
and sometimes Of people who ought 20 knov
better, is to speak Of the Russian or Ensl,sh
embassy or ambassalo IN Washington Naw
everybody ought 10 know that We DO NOT .end
or receive ambassadors. The highest diplo-
matte rank with us Is envoy extraordinary and
ministers plehipoientiary. and &C ording 60 an

over ministers plenipoteniiary and they In turn
