Letter
JOHN DAVIS, Acting Secretary to Baron Schaeffer, September 12, 1884
No. 16. Mr. Davis to Baron Schaeffer.
Department of State, Washington, September 12, 1884.
Baron: Referring to the note of this Department addressed to you on the 23d ultimo, I have the honor to inclose a copy of a letter from his excellency the governor of Pennsylvania, and of the statement of the mayor of Pittsburgh which accompanied the same, in reference to the misunderstanding of the chief of police touching the right of the Austro-Hungarian consul there to exhibit his official flag.
It appears that no insult was expressed, implied, or intended in the case; and now that the local authorities have been made aware of the full extent of consular rights under the treaties, it is presumed that all due deference will be paid to them in future.
Accept, &c.,
JOHN DAVIS,
Acting Secretary.
Acting Secretary.
