GERMANY AND THE APPLE.
Bundersrath Modin.s the Sweeping Order
OF Chancellor MIGUEL

Berlin. Feb. 3.-It is announced that
the Bundesrath Federal CounciD In
plenary sitting to-day approved Its
committees proposal that q decree
should be issued prohibiting the I'M
pOrtntion from America Of live plants
and shrubs and packages containing
the same.
The decree will also. within certain
measure. affect American fruits.
These are to be examined by experts
on their arrival at German ports. The
packages found to be infected with
the fruit louise will be excluded. In
structions TO this effect will be Issued
to the customs authorities.
The Associated Press learns that the
Hamburg authorities to-day permitted
the unloading of apples from the
United States. owing to instructions
received from Berlin, us the result of
the protests of United States Ambas-
sador White against DR.. Miquel's de-
cree.
The Associated Press ascertains that
the Bundesrath supcrsedcs with it's
authority DIR. Miquels decree, which
seems ill-advised in its rigor and sud
denness, and which. naturally provis-
ional. was occasioned by the recently
reported results of experiments by DR..
Frederick Won Kueger of the Agricul-
tural High School.
The Bundesrath's action is due. the
Associated Press is informed, to n
series of vigorous protests from the
shippers affected. and especially those
Of Hamburg. on the lower Rhine and
Mt Emmerich. and still more to the
protests of Ambassador White. Its
decision forbids the importation only
where the fruit is affected by the as
pidltous perniciosus, or San Jose plant
bug, which IL said to have done enor-
nous damage in the United States.
The Bundesrath's decree applies to the
whole Of Germany and makes matters
momentarily better, but 1t is believed
that Its future Interpretation will
largely correspond with DR.. Miquel's
decree. Parties Interested here fear
that the United States will resort to
reprisals.
Following are last yenr's fresh fruit

AN HONEST MURDERER.
After Having Escaped From jail Con
demned Man Voluntarily ReturnA


Fort Scott. Kan, Feb. GA murder
er under sentence to be hanged, who
had escaped 10 Il point 100 miles from
his neares, pursuer. voluntarily sur
rendered to the authorities here to-day
after notifying them of his intention
by long-distance telephone. The con-
Wet was George w. Finch of Kansas
City, who followed young Frank Swof-
FORD here from Paola, Kansas, and
murdered him for few dollars. hiding
the body In the bushes.
To-day Finch called up Sheriff
Wheeler by telephone. from Lamonie.
Missouri, and said he would be here on
the evening train to help mend the
prison bars that he had broken.
Finch escaped from combined federal
and state prison here on Tuesday last,
in company with several other prison
ers. He says he rode from here 10
Kansas City on a freight train, that he
lodged near police headquarters there
on Tuesday night, and the next day he
went to visit his mother and sister ON a
farm near Lamonte. From the day of
his arrest they had not visited him,
and he said his one ambition was to
see them again.
After staying over night with them he
went to Lamonte and asked n consta-
BILE to accompany him back to prison.
1t was then that he called up Sheriff
Wheeler and gave notice of his coming.
Sheriff Wheeler thought Finch was
bantering and wired the officer at La
monte TO hold him. However, when
the Memphis train came in tonight
from Lamonte the sheriff and 800 citi-
zens We're there to receive the convict.
While they We're waiting the murderer
arrived on another rnilroad. Smoking n
cigar, he walked with his escort, the
Lamon;e constable, up the street to the
prison door.

uN,oNpAc,Flc mAcHln,srso OUT
Over Three Hundred Men Let Out because
Of Decline In Husineas.


Omaha. Neb., Feb. 5.-The cold wave
this evening struck to the marrow of
$50 Union Pacific shop machinists all
along the main line from Council Bluffs
TO Ogden. One hundred and sixty We're
discharged from the Omaha shops and
Others from those mt Council Bluffs,
Grand Island. North Plntte, Cheyenne,
Rawlins and Evanston and Ogden. The
reduction Of force was ten per cent.
and among the men let out were some
who had been with the company since
the Omaha shops We're built, as well Ms
some of the latest put on the pay rolls.
From the number of discharges of
veterans an impression has obtained
that President Burt was largely acting
on the theory of retaining men in the
best physical condition, but officers of
the road deny this. Discharges Of
monthly salaried men on Monday Mt
the Omaha shops, combined with this,
make about 200 let out at this city
from the shops alone. Officials say this
reduction is caused by u falling OF of
business since the first of the year.
President Burt has not yet over
hauled the pay rolls OF other offices
than those of the general offices and
shops, but there Is general shiver
along the line in the belief that he will
insist that services of others can be dis
leused with. There are about 1000
men left In Omaha shops.

MEXICAN TELEGRAPH LINES.
Railroads Claim That They Arc Entitled
to Transient Commercial MessaKes

to Transient Com mercinl Measagea
New York. Feb. 5.-The order of the
Mexican government to the Mexican
National railroad and the Mexican
Central Railrond Company that they
must discontinue handling commercial
and other telegraphic messages be-
tween the United States and Mexico
grows out of the fact that nearly n
year ago the Mexican Central and Mex
lean National companies entered into
an arrangement with the Postal Tele.
graph Company whereby the latter
company extended its American lines
to El Paso and began building to La
redo, to effect IN exchange of business
at the Mexican border, and have ever
since been carrying on through tele-
graphic service to the Mexican capital.
The officials Of the Postal Telegraph
Company in this city stated TINT their
company received Information some
time ngo to the effect that the Mexican
government had entered into n contract
Of exclusive connection with the West
ern Union Telegraph Company for the
exchange of commercial telegraph bus
mess with all railroad lines of Mexico.
and that the effect of this contract, II
carried out, would be to prevent the
railways, who own their telegraph
lines, from transmitting commercial
business which they have contracted
to exchange with the Postal Company.
The Postal officials further explain
that the railroad companies claim that
their concessions from the Mexican
government rs clearly confers upon
them the right to transmit CONNER
cial telegraph business as to operate
their railways.

POETRY AND SCIENCE.
Blank vsrse Description of the subtl.

Blank vsrso Description of the subtle
Fiusd.
Philosophers and physicists are COM
monty supposed to be too deeply en-
crossed in dry facts and figures to have
time for the poetical Interpretation OF
science, but the definition of electricity
given to an inquiring young woman
by the late Calico Ferraris is direc;
contradiction of this. To her question
he answered:
"Since Maxwell has demonstrated
sist of periodical changes Of electro
magnetic forces. and as Hertz has CIV
en- Maxwell's theory an experimental
basis with his proof Of the similarity
existing between electromagnetic
waves and light waves, the belief be-
comes more and more firmly estab-
lished that this light-conveying ether
and the medium in which the electric
and magnetic forces act are Identical.
Therefore may well reply to the
question, o studious and charming
maiden. What il electricity? that 1t
is not only the fearful agent which at
times lights up the heavens suddenly
and startles the soul with its loud
clapping Of thunder. but also the life
giving and life-awakening cause which
as light and heat. brings forth the
magic color and the breath Of life,
which transmits to thy heart the pull
sations Of the universe and awakens
in thy soul the charm Of glance and
smiles"
