SARGENT'S PROMOTION.
He Leaves Berlin, and is Appointed
Minister to Russia.

WASHINGTON, March 26-The nomination
of Sargent to be minister to Russia, was a
total surprise to most persons at the capitol
to-day. 1t was not delivered to the senate
until after Secretary Freylinghuysen had
spent an hour or more at the capitol, for the
purpose, it is conjectured, of preparing the
leading members of that body for its recep-
ton. When it was laid before the
senate in the executive session,
a few questions were asked and
briefly answered, to the effect that the trans
fer though not requested, or even suggested
by Minister Sargent, would doubtless be
agreeable to him, and would also undoubted-
ly be productive Of good results as a matter
of national policy although in what manner
was not stated or asked. As the senate there
upon, accepting these assurances, the mem.
bers of the foreign relations committee con
frmed the nomination by unanimous con-
sent. There is good reason TO be-
lieve the action Of the senate was based,
not only upon the belief that Sargent's trans
fer, which in European estimation is diplo-
matte promotion, would be agreeable TO hun,
and avert the possibility of further unpleas-
antness arising from personal hOstilities, but
also upon the prevalent impression, that the
position of American minister at the court
of Berlin will significantly, and for an in
definite time, be left vacant. Secretary FIRE.
linghuysen sent the following telegram to
Minister Sargent this evening:
Sargent, Minister Berlin: The
president approves entirely your
course in the Lasker matter. You have done
nothing but obeyed the instructions of this
government therein. The president, think
ing it may be agreeable to you, to-day nom
mated you as minister to st. Petersburg, and
your nomination, without reference to any
committee, was Immediately and unani-
mously confirmed by the American senate.
This action manifests the appreciation of
your worth, and does you the honor Of which
any citizen may well be proud.

THE New York Assembly has before it
what is called the Adirondack bill" the
design of which is to proteht the Adirondack
forest from destruction. There seems in the
past to have been no adequate idea of the
value of forests for protection from storms,
floods, tornadoes and for the health of the
people. There has existed
an almost insane frenzy
to demolish forests, to "clear the land" and
thus barrcnness, sterility, floods and lorna
does have been invited. A better view is at
last prevailing and the necessity of preserv-
ing forests, and ofraising forests is being felt.
In Minnesota and elsewhere stree culture. !"
is receiving gratifying attention, and this
industry should be stimulated and encouraged
in every possible way.

lively listened too and highly appreciated by

A Strange Case.

Last night, about II o'clock, the police
found little girl about sixteen or seventeen
years of age, on upper Third street, who
seemed to have no place to go and nothing
particular to do, and accordingly took her
over to the city hall. On being questioned
she gave her name as Fanny Budish, and
said she came from Montgomery, LIE Sueur
county. Her utterance was indistinct and
she appeared to be a little weak and foolish.
She wanted to find place to work, and said
her father had farm in Montgomery and
that she had been at work on it. Sergeant
Morgan gave her as good place to sleep as
he could, and her case will be inquired into
to day.

1t sounds well and may serve to direct atten-

purposes outside of legitimate exercise of the
power of levying taxes. ''Free raw mate
riar' combined with a high tariff on manu-
