lister 10 Russia Yves total surprise to
most persons at the capital to-day.
1t was not delivered to the senate
until after Secretary Frelinghuysen
mad spent an hour or more at the
capital for the purpose, it is coniec-
tured, OF preparing the leading mem
oers OF that body for its reception.
| When 1t was laid before the senate in
executive session few questions were
asked and briefly answered, to the
effect thai the transfer, though not
requested or even suggested by Minis
ter Sargent, would doubtless be agree
able to him, and would also undoubt-
edly be productive of good results as
a matter OF national policy although
IN what manner was not stated nor
asked. The senate thereupon ac-
ceptlng these assurances from the
members of the foreign relations com
mlttee confirmed the nomination by
unanimous consent. There are good
reasons for believing the action of
the senate was based not only upon
the belief that Sargent's transfer
(Which in the European estima-
bioh 10 81 vi ptOAldbiC pIOulOlloul
would be agreeable to him and avert
the possibility of further unpleasant
ness arising from personal hostlities,
but also upon the prevalent impress
ion that the position of the American
minister at the court of Berlin will
be significantly and for an indefinite
time left vacant. Secretary Ere
linghuysen sent the following tele-
gram to Minister Sargent this even
ing.
To Sargent, minister Berlin:
The president approves entirely your course in
the Lasker matter. You have done nothing but
ebeyed the instructions of this government there
in. The president, thinking il may be agreeable
To you, to-day nominated you as minister 10 St
Petersburg, and fyOur nomination. withot refer
ence TO any committee was Immediately and
unanimously confirmed BY the American senate
This action maniiests appreciation Of your worth
and does you an honor of which any citizen may
be proud
