The Associated Press ascertains that
the bundesrath supersedes, with its au-
thority, DR.. MfouePs decree, which
seems ill-advised in its rigor and sud
denness. and which, naturally provi-
sl0nal, was occasioned by the recently
reported results of experiments by Dr.
Friedrich Won Kueger, of the agricul-
tural high school
The bundesraths action is due to q
series of vigorous protests from the
sndT pers affected. and especially those
of Hamburg. on the lower Rhine and
at Emmerich, ard still more to the
protests of Ambassador White. Its
decision fOrbiGs the importation only
where the fruit is affected by the San
Jose plant bug, which is said to have
done enormous damage in the United
States. The bundesrath decree applies
TO the whole of Germany and makes
matters momentariIy better, but it is
believed that its future Interpretation
Will largely correspond with Dr. Mi
QuePs decree.
Parties interested here fear that the
United States VIII resort to reprisa's.
The general Indignation aroused is
due, perhaps less TO the commercial
losses that might ensue, inasmuch as
American fruits bear relatively a small
proportion to re total fruit import
than to the feeling that the govern
ment has been Influenced by Agrar.an
pressure.

BONANZA FOR SHERlFFS.
Delinquent Tax Sale Law of North
Dakota Better Than
TSIOndfE<e

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. S-The
Wood bill for the sale of lands for de-
Hnquent taxes proves to be a bonanza
of the Klondike variety for sheriffs Of
the counties in which these sales are
or may be conducted.
The law provides that where there is
no buyer the. county shall bid in the
lands.
Under this law, the sheriff would re-
ceive $500 for every description of prop
erty bid in by the county, This
bonanza for sheriffs was not appre-
ciated until the sale OF lands for de-
linquent taxes was begun in Dickey
county. the first one in which the sale
was made. Here there remained some
fifteen hundred small descriptions Of
property, not particularly valuable,
which was offered for sale by the sher-
iff in pursuance of the law. There
We're no bidders for the lands and the
county treasurer was forced to bid
them in for the county. On every de-
Ecription so bid in the sheriff charg-
ed up $500 as fees, so that the total
amount Of fees for his days work was
something like $4,000, for which
amount, under the law, the county will
stand liable, unless there is some pro-
vision which has been overlooked, and
this does does not appear probable

FAR REACHING LEGAL RULING
Congress Has Not the Power to APP
proprfate Money for Sectarian
Institutions.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Judge Hag-
ner, in the equity court today, made q
ruling Of far-rea ching importance,
holding, in effect, that it is unconsti-
tutional for congress to appropriate
money for sectarian institutions. The
court granted an injunction restrain
ing the treasurer of the United States
from paying to the directors of the
Providence hospital any money belong
ing to the United States or the District
of Columbia, in accordance with an
agreement with the commissioners of
the district and the hospital directors.
The agreement in question was that
the commissioners should erect on the
grounds of the Providence hospital
building for the treatment of minor
contagious diseases without expense to
the hospital but should be paid out of
an appropriation for that purpose con-
tanned in the district appropriation bill,
approved March 3, 1897, and that when
the building should be completed it
should be turned over to the officers of
Providence hospital.
The application for the injunction
was made by Joseph Bradfield, who
maintained that the question arising

CHICAGO, Feb. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington, D. c., says:
secret negotiations are now actually in
progress between the state department
and the insurgents in Cuba looking to
a stoppage of the war on some finan-
ctal basis, to be agreed upon hereafter
President Mckinley has not yet recog-
nized the insurgents as belligerants,
and cannot, therefore, treat with
them openly, as he would do with d,
diplomatic representative of an indie
pendent nation.
Direct communication has been had
within the last few weeks between the
1nsurgent government and the admins
tration here. The insurgents have ex-
pressed perfect Willingness to assume q
reasonable share of the Spanish bonds
Used against the Cuban revenues The
proposition has been considered with
some favor, and the president and his
cabinet have discussed several plans
for guaranteeing the Cuban debt on
the sole basis of independence
These negotiations have gone side
by side with the gradual massing or
the ships Of the North Atlantic within
striking distance of Cuba. Orders to
the cruiser Montgomery to sail at once
for the harbor of Matanzas have been
issued, and the ship is likely to be

is impossible for independent mines to ship

pay. they are paying it to themselves, but
IN the case Of the Independent mines, the
