He will still remain in active politics, however, and may return to Congress whether he wants to or not. “Iam pretty well satisfied with my con- ional career,” said He to a Stak reporter is afternoon. “I have. succeeded in doing much that I started out.to do, and although = ere has not been strewn very lavishly wi roses, there hus been compensation in the fact that the thorns have not been numerous,” THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS.

And Germans in Samoa are Very Lamblike TROOPS FOR LOWER CALIFORNIA. ——_-> — LIVELY PRIZE-FIGHT IN CALIFORNIA. “British Politics Warming Up Again ae THE NIPSIC IS ALL RIGHT. And the German Officials in Samoa Are Behaving Beautifully. Avckianp, March 14.—Advices just received from Samoa show that there was no basis for the sensational rumor of the sinking of the U. 8. man-of-war Nipsic by the German corvette Olga. Far from this the German officials in the island have entirely given up their ag- gressive policy, THE GERMANS PIPING PEACEFUL AIRS. The proclamation of martial law has been publicly withdrawn and the Germans have abandoned all claim to the right of searching incoming vessels for contraband of war. Both these steps have met with the hearty approval of all foreign residents at Apia and have had a quieting effect, Unusual tranquillity prevails throughout the island. NATIVES STILL IN HOSTILE ARRAY. Mataafa, however, has a force of troops es- timated to be 6,000 strong. Tamasese’s army consists of about 700 men. The men-of-war, both German and American, still remain at Apia ready for any emergency that may arise. ee BRITISH POL 'S VERY HOT. The Renewed Irish Agitation Stirring the People Very Deeply. Special Cable Dispatch to THe: EVEXtNG STAR. Lonpox, March 14.—Political affairs are get- ting hotter. While Parnell is preparing his ease for the commission, the venue is trans- ferred to parliament and the platform. Mor- ley announced, amid rapturous cheers, at the great national protest demonstration last night, that the opposition had decided to move a vir- tual vote of censure of the attorney-general Monday night, and, further, to bring forward a breach of privilege motion declaring the Times guilty of publishing against a member of the’ house of commons a foul and malicious libel. As the privilege motion has precedence of all other business the government isin a difficulty. The publication of the libel is indisputable. The judge’s interim report is held over because of the collapse of Pigott. This delay is more forcible than anything the judges can say. The Times insoleutly BRAZENS OUT ITS SHAME, but Morley spoke truly when he said the forge- ries had morally extinguished that paper asa factor in the Irish controversy. The temper of the meetings being held is very hot and the savage demonstration last night is unequaled since the Bulgarian atrocity convention of 1876, Parnell’s reception was ificent. He wore his left hand in a sling, hav burnt his hand chemicals, His speech was enthusiasti- cally acc! most unpopular name mentioned was Chamberlain’s. Russell deliv- ered a glowing eulogium on Wm. O'Brien, whose release ——_. on his abstention from agitation was ordered by the Parnell com- mission yesterday. The effect of these meet- ings is shown in Balfour's promise in the house of commons yesterday to revise the Irish prison rules, especially about prison clothes. — Another Onslaught by Churchill.

Unica, N. Y., March 14.—Virgil Jackson was hanged at eighteen minutes past 9 o’cluck this morning. The crime for which Jackson was hanged was the murder of Noron Metcalf, in Augusta Center, Sunday afternoon, January 27, 1888, and grew out of crithinal relation between. Jackson and the wife of his victim. Metcalf had ordered Jackson to keep away from Mra, Metcalf. Jackson, however, followed her to church that Sunday afternoon, return- i with her. As they neared Met- calf's home he came out of the house and met his wife and Jackson in the road. Words passed between the two men, and then they partially clinched. Immediately afterward three shots were fired by Jackson, and Metcalf fell dead, all three bullets having taken effect. Upon the trial Jackson's plea was self-defense, but he was convicted.of mur- der in the first degree. The case was carried to the court of appeals, which affirmed the The others stood | J2dKment of the court below. “Application was en made to the governor for commuiation of the death sentence to imprisonment for life, but the governor declined to interfere.

Post, in connection with his western freight claim bureau scheme, says the magnitude of the fraud grows as the details come to light. The account continues: “The more one hears about Mr. Post the more he becomes im; with the fellow's — el oie was never known in Chicago, Ward, of New York, is no comparison. stock im trade was composed of a liberal supply of self-assurance andan oily, plausible tongue. There is, however, a striking similarity in the methods by which both Mr. and Mr. Ward fleeced their victims. so much so, in fact, that there isa ce agen! that they may have been educated in the same school of finance. Both seem to have the same idea of how to get rich easily and to have worked it for all it was worth. e formula was to throw out great inducements in the shape of unpre- cedented profits, get shrewd business men to place sums of money in their hands for invest- ment, lead their willing victims on by OCCASIONALLY DECLARING ENORMOUS DIVIDENDS, and when they had bled them to the last cent, finally toss them overboard. Many additional facts came to light yesterday,and it is said that the western freight claim bureau was a far greater swindle than was the famous“‘Fund W.” It is also clearly indicated that the victims are not confined to Chicago, but are scattered by hundreds all over the east and that from them Mr. Post plucked a considerable fortune. But what is most i is the fact that the biggest victim of Mr. Post's swindling game is one of the shrewdest and richest capitalists in Chicago, a man who is noted above all others for his keen perception of business frauds and whose ity has never before been brought into question. HOW POST CAUGHT A SHREWD MILLIONAIRE, “He is no other than Albert A. Munger, of the grain elevator firm of Munger, Wheeler & Co., several times a millionaire, and whose in- come amounts to near $500,000 a year. At first Mr. Munger only ventured a small amount, but when, it is said, at the end of thirty days he received 15 per cent dividends, he doubled and then trebled the investment, and kept putting until Mr. Post had 000 of his money, At last, when the investigation was started and an exposure was threatened, Post demanded $50,000 in « lump, with which to close the mouths of small-fry victims, and Munger is said to have planked it down with- outa murmur. Even then he did not suspect Post of being a scoundrel, and it was not until a few weeks ago that be realized the full ex- tent of the deception that had been practiced on him. When his eyes were fully opened he de- manded the réturn of his money and Post, realizing that he had run to the end o7 his string, suddenly disappeared. So far the only victim who has resorted to the law for redress is 8S. D. Helmer, manager of the Vacuum oil company. His investment amounted to but #4,000, but besides turning in his cash to Post he rendered him an- incalculable service by acting as a reference for the Western freight claim bureau, POST'S BEJEWELED TYPE-WRITER GIRL MISSING.
