COUP DE GRACE.
LONDON, March 10.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times, referring to the ar
ticle in the North German Gazette, concern
ing Sargent, says the article is a bolt forged
at the foreign Office to give Sar gent the coup
de grace. Bismarck tells the Americans that
they have sent man with whom he refuses
to hold diplomatic relations. 1t is for Ameri-
cans to judge of this treatment
OF their accredited envoy. The
reference to Sargent's journalistic
activity is an allusion to the fact that Sar-
gent, in his report to Washington, described
the pig meat Introduction as agrarian, more
than a sanitary measure. The repor was
copied by New York newspaper from Stats
tics issued by the state department and was
assumed to be direct contribution by Sar-
gent. This assumption has colored the
whole attitude of the executive toward sar-

Sarakichi Downs Bibby.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. /

New YORK, MARCH TO-. A big audience
assembled at the Clarendon hall last night to
witness wrestling match between Edwin
Bibby and Matsada Sarakichi, the champion
OF Japan. They had previously wrestled in
catch-as-catch-can style at Irving hall, when
Bibby won easily, the Jap having no
knowledge of that way OF wrestling. Last
night the tables were turned when Bibby
undertook to meet the Jap at the latter's own
game of japanese wrestling according to the
japanese rules, the men enter a nine foot
circle and the first to go
outside the line loses the fall
or should either of the contestants
touch the floor with any part OF the body ex-
cept fire feet it is a fall. There was some
difficulty in understanding the rules. Mat
sada cannot speak English. The services OF
an interpreter were finally secured and the
matter arranged. The match was won BY
the jap, securing the best three in FIVE falls
The stakes were 500,

THE CITY ENGINEER.

The city council and board of public works
are to meet in joint session this afternoon to
elect city engineer. Mr.. Somers, the pres
ent incumbent, has served so well and so
faithfully, that it was not supposed
any name would be placed in
opposition to him. The Minneapolis
Pioneer Press, however, has come out with a
candidate, and as is usual with the papers in
that city seeks to regulate purely local s
Paul matter. 1t will be time enough for the
Minneapolis newspapers to interfere when
their services are invited.
Mr.. W. A. Somers, who will undo ubtedly
be reelected to-day, has been connected with
the engineers department ever since it was
organized. He has been in the engineers
department for twelve years, having served
as assistant under Engineers Curtice, Well
m an, and Sewall. He proved so competent
that he was very properly promoted to the
first place, and has filed it with credit to
himself and fidelity to the public interests.
A change at this time would be a positive
suicidal policy. There is an immense amount
OF work in process which no
new man can properly complete
The Seventh teet improvement alone is
sufficient to make Mr.. Somer's retention of
VITAL importance, as It has been inaugurated
under his direction, and the public interests
demand that it should be completed by him.
The same remark applies to a large amount
Of other work in process, and the effort TO dis
place him, simply to give employment to an
other,is the most short sighted poll, y possible.
During the past year contract work has
been done to the amount of half million
dollars, and 100000 more of work upon
the streets, has been done outside the regu-
lar contracts There is already new
work planned amounting TO over $500, 900,
accurate estimates ofwhch have been made
prcfles drawn, etc., and tits an absolute physi-
cal and mental imposslbility for a new man

the engineering department in 1883 was as
great as in St. Paul and the work performed
was s2OO,0O0 less. The total cost of
engineering and inspecting is less than
four per cent of the amount expended. On
two contracts alone, Mr.. Somers saved the
city $50, 900 the past year by his frmhess
and good management.
A sewerage resolution was introduced into
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday for the
purpose of influencing the election to-day.
This resolution came from the source which
formerly sustained Engineer Sewan and
it should be borne in mind
that the sewerage system now being devel-
oped is that for which the city paid Mr.. Sew
all $40, 900. He prepared the system before
he was the city engineer and eight years ago
he began its development. Mr.. Somers
has simply continued that system. While
there was some diversity Of opinion relative
to Mr. Sewall as an engineer, 1t is con-
ceded that his sewerage system is admirably
adapted to the needs Of the city, and this
system is being faithfully and honestly car
RED out by Mr.. Somers.

didate of the Minneapolis Pioneer Press,
would, If elected, make clean sweep of all
of the experienced and trained subotdinates
in the engineers department, course that
would be a positive public calamity.
Of Mr.. WaDzer, personally, the GLOBE has
no disparaging comment to make, but it is
apparent that neither he or any new man is
competent to take up and carry forward the
public work in process in St. Paul. He is I'M
fortunate in being championed by such
a source and has made great mistake in
allowing himself to be presented for slaugh-
ter by injudicious friends. As his uncle,
Mr.. Whittemore, is chief engineer Of the
Milwaukee g. st. Paul road, it would seem
that his services, if SO superior,
would be enlisted in that direction.
1t is eNident that he is being pushed, not on
account of superior ability, but because in
terested parties have private ends to serve in
making change, and in doing so they are
utterly reckless of the public interests. The
council and board of public works too well
understand the situation to be swayed by the
appeal in his behalf.

NOrthprn Pncifi
Discriminating AGeinst Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 10.-The fact that rates
are habitually cut castbound from St. Louis
and Peoria, while at Chicago only few of
the largest shippers are thus favored, has caused
the transportation committee OF the board of
trade to post on change request that ship
pers file complaints and railroad companies
answer them as to why Chicago should
be Disseminated against. That some ship
pers at Chicago are getting special rates there
is no doubt, and that both big and little ship
pers at ether western points are thus favored
is exuaily true. A case, exciting suspicion,
occurred to-day, wherein large grain com
mission firm at Chicago shipped an unusually
heavy consignment over the Grand Trunk
to Detroit. 1t is a notorious fact that Detroit
could no receive so large consignment, nor
is there demand at that point for the kind
of grain shipped, so that the natural infer
ence is that the cargo was way billed to
Detroit and from there forwarded to the sea-
board at a cut rate.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
A Talk With Hon. w. W. Armstrong,
of Cleveland. Ohio.

Hon. w. w. Armstrong, Of the Cleveland,
Ohio Plaindealer, is visiting his brother Albert
Armstrong, of this city, who is lying quite
i'll at his residence on the corner of Fifth and
Market streets. Mr. Armstrong was visited
by GLOBE representative yesterday, and a
very pleasant chat ensued relative to the
political situation.
In response to questions Mr.. Armstrong
said that Hon. H. B. Payne was not a presi-
Dental candidate and did not desire the nom
ination. He disclaimed speaking by any au
thority, but from his intimate acquaint-
ancee with that gentleman he
knows that to be his view.
He adds, however, that the Payne element is
dominant in Ohio politics, and if he (Payne)
should wish the delegation to the Democratic
national convention, he would have it be-
yond question. While Mr.. Payne is sin
cerely not a candidate, Mr.. Armstrong
is not prepared to say that he would decline
a nomination. Mr.. Armstrong says that Mr..
Payne was not the author of the Ohio plat
form ON the tariff question. It was the
work of George Fl. Barger and
General Warner and the tariff portion was
taken from Mr.. Payne's Sth of January
speech in Cleveland in 1888. The only
member of congress from Ohio who opposes
this platform is Frank Hurd, of
Toledo. He thinks the tariff on wool will
be restored and in any event says Ohio will
be Democratic in October and November.
He also says that Mr.. Payne never owned
dollar Of Standard Oil stock and twice
when he ran for congress was opposed by that
corporation.
Mr.. Armstrong says that New York, Ohio,
Indiana, Connecticut, New jersey, Maine,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, the
two Virginias and Georgia have secured
parlors and rooms at the Palmer
house, Chicago for the national convention,
New York has the largest parlor, Indiana
next, and he significantly adds that Ohio has
secured the bridal chamber and parior at

ton was not consulted when rates were cut,
and he was not anxious to restore them. In
conversation, yesterday, Mr.. Potter said that
the only way the matter could be permanently
fixed up, would be to resuscitate the Colorado
Traffic association. 1t was great mistake to
dissolve it, and until it should be reorganized
there could be no permanent restoration OF
Colorado rates that. This will be the final out

sioner Fink had decided to settle the Buffalo
differential matters upon the basis of the
business done by all the lines in the interest
since last July. To this end it was resolved
that all lines report to Fink the sale of tick
cts of their lines from Chicago to Buffalo

CURRENT COnMENT.

Multitudinous cases are reported Of
infamous brutality upon the part of
police of New York city, especially in the
indiscriminate use of their clubs very often up
on persons not drunk or disordery, but perhaps
the victims of accident or disease The police
appear to act entirely and uniformly upon the
theory that their sole duty consists in inficting
injuries. DR.. Holman has undertaken humane
work in the endeavor to instruct the police how
to apply primary relief and aid to the injured and
particularly in teaching them to distinguish be-
tween the unconsciousness caused by drink, or
some other cause. The police theory that the
best way to assist an insensible person is to club
him briskly about the head is not based upon
careful study of physiological and pathological
conditions, and their attention is also being
called to that other policeman's panacea, which
consists in the application of the club to the feet
of the patient. What may be the effect of this eff
fortat reform, is problem but there will be here
after less excuse or none for the conduct which
has been unspeakably outrageous.

A moderate audience gathered at Market
hall last night to listen to Capt. H. T. Johns
lecture on blaine and Conkling." It was
an able and caustic review of those
gentlemen and was received
with much satisfaction. AS was natural it
was warmly but discriminatory eulogistic of
Blaine and the reverse of Conkling.
