London, Feb 3.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times says: Custom
officials at Emmerich, Rhenish Prussia,
received Geographic instructions on
Jan 80 from DR. Miguel. the Prusslan
minister of finance, to stop the impor-
tation of fresh fruits from America.
The Hamburg senate issued similar
order on the following DAY.
Protests against the latter have been
received from the Hamburg senate for
permission, firstly, for further eH-
port of consignments to England, and.
secondly, for consignments of Ameri-
can apples that have already reached
Germany TO be delivered to those to
whom they are addressed.
The subject occupied the attention
Of the bundesrath to-day Thursday,
when it was decided that importation
of fresh fruit is only forbidden when
the same is discovered TO contain a
plant bug. The prohibition does not
extend to dried fruits: but the impor-
tation of windfalls. packing material
and plant is altogether forbidden.
The general indignation aroused is
due perhaps less To the commercial
losses that might ensue. inasmuch as
American fruits bear relatively small
proportion to the total fruit import
than to the feeling that the government
has been influenced by agrarian pres
sure

THE KLONDlKE CRAZE.
Many People Giving Up Good Positions
in Western New York.

New York. Feb. 3.-Many people from
Western New York are giving up good
positions, putting their all into outhts
and starting for the klondike region,
says the Rochester correspondent of the
Times. The return 10 Franklinyille, Cat
taraugus county, of Dan Frazer started
the excitement. In less than 10 minutes
after Frazer had landed in his native
town 800 persons had surrounded him
and he was kept busy answering ques-
tions until 4 o'clock the next morning.
Frazer talked willingly enough all )ut
his experiences. but about his own ior-
tune was reticent.
Frazer started back TO the far North

A RATE WAR.
Fast Trains From Chicago to Denver
the Cause of IL - Meeting
Has Been called.

Has Been called.
Chicago. Feb. 3.-The Atchison and
Rock Island roads gave notice to-day
to Chairman Caldwell OF the passenger
association that beginning next sun
day they would reduce the lirst-class
passenger rate between Chicago and
Denver by S. the cut To be operative in
both directions. The announcement
To the chairman was the consequence
of a conference held this morning be-
tween the general passenger agents of
tn Northwestern. Burlington. Atehison
and the Rock Island over the fast
trains which the former lines have an
nounced between Chicago and Denver.
The Atchison and the Rock Island,
having longer routes than the other
two roads. cannot meet the fast time
made by the Northwestern and the
Burlington. except at great expense
and inconvenience. They therefore
asked that an extra fare be charged
on fast trains, and that they be used
as limited trains" TO this request
the Burlington and the Northwestern
refused To accede. saying that the bus
mess would not warrant them in
charging more than the regular fare.
The Rock Island and the Atchison
then asked that the fast trains be TAX
en- off, contending that the amount OF
the Colorado business at the present
time was not of sufficient volume To
request was also refused. ana then The
/ Atchisun and Rock Island announced
f that there was nothing for them To do
+ but 10 make a rate lower than that OF
/ fered by other roads. and said that the

WITHOUT ANY WARNING
High-Handed, German Proceed
ing on the Fruit Decree.
1T is WITHOUT PRECEDENT
No Intimation OF 1t Given to the Amer
lean Ambassador 1t Does Great
Injustice to Shippers by Stop
ping Fruit in Transit

Washington. Feb. 3.-During the aft
ernoon further advices were received
from Ambassador White as TO the
nature Of the decree. III would seem
that the fun details are not yet obtain
able in Berlin, but it is expected that
the ambassador will cable the entire
decree as soon as he can obtain posses
sion of IT, The important facts that
were established by the last adyices
were:
First-That the decree Of exclusion
uses the word American" as descrip-
tive of the place of the origin of the
fruit. which would seem 10 include
Canadian fruit without question.
Second--That the decree instead of
applying only 10 fresh fruit. as was at
first supposed. includes in the prohibit
ton all dried fruits from America.
State department officials have not
yet recovered from their surprise at the
method adopted by the German govern
ment in accomplishing its object in this
matter and undoubtedly the CORE
spondence TO follow will set this forth
very clearly.
The objection TO the course pursued is
three-fold. In the first place i is said
20 be entirely without precedent and
discourteous toward the American am
bassador at Berlin 10 make tine decree
and put ii into effect without the
slightest warning To him. In the sec
ond place. by making the decree take
effect AT once and stopping all fruit in
transit. a great injustice is done TO
shippers. who thus without warning,
are made TO lose heavily on their CAPT.
tai invested i'm the fruit. Third. the
decree is condemned in that II makes
no provision for the admission of fruit
of absolute purity: permits no demon
stration of origin or healthful condition
and, in fact. condemns all fruit, good
or bad alike. These considerations are
TO be strongly urged upon the German
government as reasons why ii should
either revoke or modify the decree on
the lines indicated before any more
radical action is taken

A BRIEF STATEMENT.
Ambassador Whites CabIcgram Throws
Little Light the situation.

Washington, Feb. "A brief cable
gram from Ambassador White at Ber-
lin that came to the department of
state last evening conveyed the only
official information so far received as
TO the decree of exclusion of American
fruit from Prussia. This cablegram
was so meager that a request has been
sent to Mr.. White for further details.
While II is not positively known, il Is
supposed that the decree applies only
10 Prussia and not to all Germany.
Whether or not it also applies to Cana
dian fruit is a matter of speculation.
The German ambassador was visit
or at the state department to-day and
spent some time with the officials. After
talking with Secretary Sherman and
Assistant Secretary Day, the ambassa-
dor was half an hour in close consnlta-
tion with Mr.. Kasson, the special COM
missioner for the United States in the
negotiations of reciprocity agreements.
The ambassador had no news from Ber-
lin direct as to the last decree.
