Sargent's Promotion.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 27.-Your
correspondent had a conversation with
Secretary Frelinghuysen, before that gen
tleman left his residence for the State
Department this morning, regarding the
transfer of Minister Sargent from Berlin
to st. Petersburg, The Secretary said
that the change would be an agreeable
one to Mr., Sargent and that this was the
most important consideration in making
it. 1t was promotion, st Petersburg
ranking higher than Berlin as a mission,
"Will it not appear that the Govern
ment has decided to submit to Bismarck s
dictation in this matter?"
"Not at all. | am not at liberty to
speak on this point, but you can say that
Mr.. Sargent's course has been entirely
approved by the President and the Depart
ment, and that the feelings of the German
Government in regard to Mr. Sargent
have neither been considered nor consult
ed in this matter. If Mr.. Sargent had
desired to remain in Berlin the change
would not have been made"
"Will person known to be friendly to
the German Government-or, rather a
person whom the German Government
sees no objection to-be appointed in Mr..
Sargent's placer"
at is likely thatfor the present nobody
will be appointed to the vacancy at Ber-
lin. We can manage to get along with
charge d affaires. When Mr.. Sargent's
successor is appointed his name will be
sent to the Senate without waiting to
hear from Germany This Nation is not
in the habit of consulting foreign nations
regarding such Matters
"But Bismarck will claim the credit Of
driving Sargent out of Berlin"
If there is any credit in it, he is well
come to the claim. | do not think that
were to make things so disagreeable for
the German Minister here as to cause
him to desire change of residence, there
would be much credit in it for me.

gers who came down on the road yesterday
morning, bound for points south, had to
lay over at Charleston until handcar and
skiff were sent for them, and they were
brought here and turned over to the Mo-
bile & Ohio Road. The skff containing
the passengers was hitched behind the
hand-car, and thus towed from Charleston
to Birds Point, where they boarded the
transfer steamer. The water is SO deep

pected, and who, while under the influence
of liquor, told all about the burglary, the
parties who committed it and where the
goods were hidden. Subsequent develop
ments proved that the fellow had told the
truth, The thieves were found, and also
the goods hidden in little cabin on Wolfe
Island little below the Point. Nearly all
the goods were recovered, amounting in
money value to about $3.50. The two bur-
glars were brought down here to await
trial.

ter demand on the grounds that the re.
ward was offered for ''the arrest of Tiller
and his return to st. Louis" "Detect-
i've Matthews saw Tiller while he was yet
on the street, followed him into the store
and arrested him without assistance"
Said Chief Wason; 81 offered to return
him to st. Louis, but this the Express
officials waived. On this ground we
claim the reward of $1,000" The mat.
ter has not yet been settled, and will not
be until Mr.. Carpeles withdraws his
claim for the $4,000. The Express com.
pany refuses to pay a dollar of the re-
ward until the Milwaukee claimants give
araceipt in full for all claims.
