RumOrs Concerning Sargent.
WASHINGTON, February 4th.-It is said by
Secretary KiTkwood's friends that he abso-
lutely has no knowledge as to the Presidents
intentions regarding the appointment of his
successor. One of the Iowa Senators said he
did not believe that Kirkwood was to be su.
perseded at all. He has no assurance that
sucn would be the case, but was strongly of
that opinion, for reasons that he did not care
to mention. On the other hand, the Pacific
slope Senators are as confident as ever that
Sargent will get the place, although Booth
has friends who have suggested him. At the
same time those opposed to Sargent declare
that the President has never mad his appoint
ment seriously under consideration, but that
thu boom for the California ex-senator has
been worked up by the Pacific slope people
on their own responsibility.
Christianey Speaks.
DETROIT, February 4th.-Senator Chris
tiancy publishes in the Free Press the follow
ing comments concerning the promiscuous

when any part of the dispatch is called
for publication, is always supposed to exer-
else some discretion in Withholding from pub.
location such dispatches, or parts of them.
the publication of which might be detrimental
to the public interest. A Minister to a for
eign country, especially one like Peru during
to have learned many important facts, and,
| from observations, to have drawn some OBJ
vious differences which be may think the
Secretary of State and the President might
| like to know, which they might think useful
| to them, as bearing upon the foreign policy
of the country, and which may be of such a
nature that to have them made public would
defeat all the benefit which ought to be de.
rived from such information" Mr.. Chris.

versies between the President and Blaine.
! He blames Blaine for allowing the letter to
go on file where it might be published In
any event, he would not permit himself to
suspect that Frelinghuysen, il knowing the
nature of the letter, would ever have pub
| lished it. Without charging anybody with
| it, he declares that there has been one of the
greatest breaches of private confidence ever
committed in connection with the State De-
partment, and that, not in aid CT, but against
the public interest.
