sions OF tho Dipcu,-ic and Consular Appropriation
bill OF March 1S03 President Cleveland 1.
to confer the same rank upon representative at
London. The provision was inserted in the bill
for the reason that representatives of the United
States in many courts have been compelled to
yield precedence in Official business and otherwise 10
she representatives OF smaller countries holding higher

credited to the United States. because the United
states did not confer that title any Of It's Minis

the nrst Minister to Washington to hold tho title OF
Ambassador. but is highly probable that France Ger
many Russia and Austria will be prompt follow tho
example thus set by England and change the titles Of
ther Ministers to Ambassadors.
