AMICABLY ADJUSTED
The Troublesome Question of Precedence of
Foreign Ambassadors.
The Entire Diplomatic Corps to Ac-
company the Presidential Party
to New York.

A matter that promised to make friction
In connection with the visit of the dipIo-
matte corps to the Grant ceremonies in
New York next Tuesday has been amicably
adjusted Under the original plans the
ambassadors alone were to accompany the
presidential party from Washington to New
York. the ministers and their suites being
attached to the party Of the Vice President
Objection was made 20 this separation of
the corps in favor of the ambassadors and
the plans have been changed SO that the
entire corps shall accompany the presi-
Dental party in a body.
None of the officials of the State Depart
ment. who are supposed tc have informa-
ticn on the subject will say anything in
regard to the relative status of the Vice
PRESIDENT and the foreign ambassadors at
functions where tine presence of both Is
considered essential. 1t has been a trouble
some question with officials ever since the
ambassadorial rank was first established in
this country, and is still far from settle
ment.
An issue has been always avoided by
both parties, and until now the necessity
Tor decision has never arisen. Heretofore
the dificulty has been solved by keeping
the Vice President and the ambassadors
apart whenever the question of precedence
between them was likely to arise.
FOR instance, the Vice President was never
5
of the diplomatic CORPS and, vice versa,
the ambassadors were never included in
the list of guests when the Vice President
vas expected to be present. TIE state din
Eers to the diplomatic corps have establish
ed one thing in this matter, however, and
tf.at is that the ambassadors are consider
ed to have precedence on such occasions
over the Secretary of State, who in turn IS
given precedence over the ministers and
other guests. This is the rule at White
House functions, despite the fact that the
Secretary of State is next to the Vice Pres
ident In line Of succession to the presi-
dency.
At the instance of Secretary Olney dur
ing the last administration Ambassador
Bayard investigated the practice of for
eign courts in the matter of precedence,
and he reported that AMBASSADORS in
variably ranked next to the royal families
in all public and social functions, and that
he Bayard, by virtue of his ambassa-
dorial rank, was given precedence over

tie nominations are entirely unexpected and
