Minister sargent's Position Explained.
CHICAGO. April 3d.-A Washington cerre-
spondent of the iRter-Ocean telegrsphs that
the Sargent case will attract great deal of
attention In Congress during the next few
weeks. He says Freling ghuysen's last move is
regarded as o great blunder here He refers
to the embarrassing position which Sargent
has occupied St tire German Court, subjected
as he has been so series of attacks from e
organs Of the German Chancellor. The tele.
gram then says Sargent was not cut cut for
diplomat. He was too blunt and candid to
intrigue, and he never moves by indirection.
His candor OF the immigration question and
on the i'll treatment OF uaturaiiZsd citizens of
the United States, when they returned to
Germany, was not agreeable TO the Berlin
press, and be had not been there three weeks
before they commenced to attack him. He
arrived st Berlin, too, just at q time when an
embargo against American pork was laid, ana
he at once exposed the pretense that IL was
done as sanitary measure as a sham. The
correspondent speaks OF Sargent's letter urg-
ing shutting out German importations to this
country until the embargo against American
pork was raised and 50 stated to Count Won
Hatzfelt, the German Minister OF Foreign
Affairs But on this point Frelirghuysen was
weak. and instructed Sargent to modify his
communication. This was signal for
another 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 these attacks were inspired by
Bismarck, for they appeared only in organs
whose policy is dictated by him, and that his
intention was TO secure Sargents recall, in
the hope of getting an American representa-
tive at Berlin who would not present the
same aggressive opposition. That he finally
accomplished what he had been driving at
must be as much matter of satisfaction to
him es it is a matter of chagrin to the Amer.
icsn people. The transfer of Sargent to st.
Petersburg and the prolonged vacancy in the
American Legation at Berlin, as was pro.
posed by MIR. FreylinRhuysen, was Just what
Bismarck wanted, and Sargent reaiizsd this
fact. He would not accept transfer be-
cause of the enormous expense attendant
upon the establishmert of Legation, even
if he could have done so without the sacrifice
of his dignity. He is g poor man, and this
Government gives its Ministers no allowance
for Legation expenses. Mr.. Sargent there
fore, proposed 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, "a
Sargent has always insisted, that the prohi.
bition against American pork is 6 protective
measure.

Affairs in Cincinnati.

quiet everywhere in the city. Portions of
