CHICAGO, April "a Washington cor
respondent of the Inter-Ocean telegraphs
that Sargent's case will attract a great deal
of attention in Congress for the next few
weeks. He says Frelinghuysen's last move
is regarded as a great blunder here. He
refers to the embarrassing position which
Sargent has occupied at the German
Court, subjected, as he has been, to a series
of attacks from the organs of the Chan
cellor. The. telegram then says that Sar-
gent was not cut out for a diplomat. He
was too blunt and candid to intrigue, and
he never moves by indirection. His
candor on the emigration question and on
the ill-treatment of naturalized citizens of
the United States, when they returned to
Germany, was not agreeable to the Berlin
press, and he had not been there three
weeks before they commenced to attack
him. He arrived at Berlin just at the
time when the embargo against Ameri-
can pork was made, and he at
once exposed the pretense. 1t was
done as q sanitary measure as a
buh0us AhO OOkASDROhoSA 5kS&Ao "a ~
gents letter, urging the shutting out Of
German importations to this country un-
til the embargo against pork was raised,
and so stated to Count Won Hatsfelt, the
German Minister of Foreign Affairs, but
on this point Frelinghuysen was weak,
and instructed Sargent to modify his COM
munication. This was the signal for an
other attack from the Berlin press, who
assumed and represented that, not being
sustained in this issue, Sargent had lost
the confidence Of his Government. There
| is no doubt that the attacks were inspired
by Bismarck, for they appeared only in the
organs whose policy is dictated by him,
and that his intention was to secure Sar-
gents recall, in the hope OF getting an
American representative at Berlin who
had not the same aggressive disposition.
That he has finally accomplished what he
has been driving at, must be as much 8
| matter of satisfaction to him as it is q
| matter of chagrin to the American people.
| The transfer Of Sargent to st. Petersburg,
and q prolonged vacation in the American
legation at Berlin, as was proposed by
Mr.. F~relinghuysen, was just what Bis
marck wanted, and Sargent realized this
fact. He would not accept the transfer
because Of the enormous expenses attend
| ant on the establishment of a legation,
| even if he could have done so without
| sacrifice to his dignity. He is a poor man,
| and this Government gives its Ministers
nc allowance for legation expenses. Mr..
Sargent therefore preferred to come home,
as he will come with credit, having earned
| the respect of the American people by his
| courageous defense of their interests.
Everybody believes, as Sargent has always
/ snoiafa1 <hok tho nrohihitiou aoainot
American pork is a protective measure,
| and that there is no excuse for or reason
in the sanitary objection.
Execution of Two Brothers.
WINNIPEG, April 3.-At Regina, N. W.
T., John and George Stephenson were exc.
cuted this morning at 8 o'clock for the
murder of old man John Mccarthy, at
Troy on the 14th Of June last. The pris-
oners were accompanied to the scaffold by
their spiritual adviser, and Deputy Sheriff
Gibson, Col. Herchner and others, in
| Guiding q guard of mounted policemen.
The prisoners made a full confession OF
| their guilt, and acknowledged the justice
of their sentence. After the usual formal
tiles being observed the ~pinioning Of the
prisoners was completed, and the execu-
toner, who was assisted by the patent
lever, drew the slat bolt. The condemned
fell about nine feet, and death was almost
instantaneous. The prisoners appeared to
| think the authorities would not execute
them, but on seeing their collins this de-
fusion was dispelled. They were also
made aware that a telegram had been re-
ceived from their father, asking for their
bodies after the sentence of the law had
been carried out. They sought religious
consolation with great earnestness. While
they stood up on the drop they repeatedly
kissed the crucifx held before them by the
priest. Their punishment, even by the
Indian and half-breed population, is con-
sidered just. and will produce a most salu-
tary effect.
