OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
Some Suggestions About Ii from tl
Legislature OF Minnesota,

some suggestions About 1t from the
Legislature Of Minnesota.
Sr. PAUL, MINI. March 1A-In the state
legislature yesterday a resolution was intro
duced by Speaker Graves relnting to the for
eign policy of the general government. The
preamble recites that whereas the cause of
patriotism is advanced by the knowledge that
the national flag is seen all over the world;
that the time is ripe for the commerce of the
eastern nations TO move westward to and
through the United States, therefore the legis-
fature resolves that the general government
should adopt vigorous foreign policy; that
the United States should compete for the COM
merce of the world; that money should be ap-
prCpriated from the Federal Treasury for
the construction and operation OF steam
ship lines from New York to European
ports and to South American ports; also from
San Francisco and Tacoma to Japan and Aus
tralia. 1t is resolved also that the seacoast for
tiications should be strengthened and multi
piled; that the treaty rights of the United
States should be preserved, and that there is
cause for deep solcitude with regard to the
acts OF the German empire in the matter of the
Samoan affairs inasmuch as the blow of the
Germans seems to be aimed at the commerce
of the United States and not at the savages of
the Samoan Islands. The representatives of
the states in Congress are instructed to use
their influence in carrying out the suggestions

No More Licenses to Purchase Bait VIII
be Issued to American Vessels.

GLOUCESTER, MASS, March l4-Reports from
Newfoundland say that the issue of licenses TO
American vessels for the purchase Of bait and
other necessary outfit viii be refused this sea-
son, and that tie government will coincide with
the Dominion government IN its policy. The
reas IN alleged is that American vessels last
season violated the licenses given them. and
bait purchased in Newfoundland was sold TO
the French at ST. Pierre
The fishermen who have recently returned
from Fortune and Placentia BAYS say the cutters
are already patrolling the coast. and every port
is strictly guarded. so that no violation OF the
bait act can be accomplished. Cargoes can be
purchased for export under a 81 600 bond that
they are TO be- landed in American ports. a re-
ceipt from the consignee through the British
consul being also required.

BRITISH POLITICS VERY HOT.
The Renewed Irish Agitation Stirring

The Renewed Irish Agitation Stirring
the People Very Deeply.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, March I4.-Political affairs are get
ting hotter. While Parnell is preparing his
case for the commission, the venue is trans
ferred to parliament and the platform. Nor
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 member Of the
house of commons foul and malicious libel.
As the privilege motion has precedence of all
other business the government is in difficulty.
The publication of the libel is indisputable.
The judges interim report is held over because
of the collapse of Pigott. This delay is more
forcible than anything the judges can say. The
Times insolently
BRAZENs OUT ITS SHAME,
but Morley spoke truly when he said the forge
ries had morally extinguished that paper as
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.
Parnells reception was magnificent. He wore
his left hand in sling, having burnt his hand
with chemicals. His speech was enthusiastic
cally acclaimed. The most unpopular name
mentioned was Chamberlain's. Russell deliv-
cred a glowing eulogium on VIM. O'Brien,
whose release conditionally 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.

THE NIPSIC IS ALL RIGHT.

And the German Officials in Samoa Are
Behaving Beautifully.
AUCKLAND, March 1A-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
duieting effect. Unusual tranquility prevails
throughout the island.
NATIVES STILL IN HOSTILE ARRAY.
Mataafa, however, has force of troops es-
timated to be 6,0O0 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.

VIRGIL JACKSON HANGED.
His Crime Was the Murder of His
ParamOur's Husband.

Utica, N. Y, March 14-virgil jackson was
hanged at eighteen minutes past O'Clock this
morning. The crime for which Jackson was
hanged was the murder Of Moron Metcalf, in
Augusta Center, Sunday afternoon. January "a.
1888, and grew out of criminal relation between
Jackson and the wife of his victim. Metcalf
had ordered Jackson to keep away from Mrs.
church that Sunday afternoon, return
ing 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 muir
der in the first degree. The case was carried
to the court of appeals, which affirmed the
judgment of the court below. Application was
then made to the governor for commu iation of
the death sentence to imprisonment for life
but the governor declined to interfere When
first placed in the Jail in this city jackson broke
down so completely that it was thought
he would die through fear before
several months imprisonment, however,
his manner changed completely. and he
asserted that he had no fear of death. il that
was to be his fate. He has since shown re-
markable nerve and even when informed that
the last thread of hope was broken by the de-
clination of the governor to interfere, he did
not betray the least nervousness or fear. He
has refused to see clergymen. He was fairly
good performer on the flute and has passed
much of his time in playing and reading. Last
night at his request local vocalists visited the
Jail and several songs were sung Jackson sing
ing with them. When they left he retired and
slept soundly until 6:45 this morning.
SMILED AS TIE BLACK CAP WAS ADJUSTED.
Not q tremor was noticeable when the black
cap was adjusted. In fact smile appeared to
hover about the mouth at the time. The trap
was sprung at 9:15:30. Jackson was pro-
nounced dead at $3.50, death ensuing from
strangulation.
