A IARIEE WAR.
American Exports Are Being barred
from German Markets.

Berlin. Feb. 5.-Baron Won Himmer-
stein-Loxen. the minister of agri-
culture, al Fridays session of the Prus-
sian diet. declared that American horses
developed influenza after importation.
He added: "If the appropriations in
crease we shall certainly be forced 10
adopt :. suitable quarantine in order TO
protect ourselves"
Washington, Feb. 5.-The state de-
partment has been notified by Am
bassador White at Berlin of the modif-
cation of the original decree issued by
the Prussian minister of finance, DR..
MIGUEL, prohibiting the importation of
American fruit. According TO the am
bassador's cablegram. the decree does
not, as he advised Thursday. apply TO
dried fruits, while fresh fruit will be adj
shows its condition to be satisfactory
If this modification has been made in
the decree, it would appear that the
prompt representations made by the
United States have received an equally
prompt consideration on the other side.
1t is certain that if the decree, as orig
inally promulgated, had been applied
to shipments of fruits in transit. as It's
terms indicated, the shippers would
have had a right to claim indemnity
from the Prussian government for the
damages sustained by them. and it
would be regarded by the United States
government as a matter of duty to sus-
tain this demand for indemnity.
Berlin, Feb 5.-Mr. White has lodged
another formal protest with Baron Won
Buelow, as, in spite of the bundesrath' S
resolution, American fresh fruit is
everywhere excluded. The United
States consul at Dusseldorf telegraphed
Friday that only dried fruits had been
released, and that there were about H.
900 barrels of apples in the bonded
warehouses there. The United States
embassy during the week has been
flooded with appeals from fruit mer-
chants, dealers and shippers who have
been injured by the decree and all of
them have thanked Mr.. White for the
vigorous measures he has adopted. II
appears that DR.. MIGUEL and Baron Won
Hammerstein-Loxten issued the decree
without the authority of the Prussian
cabinet or of the bundesrath.
Berlin, Feb. 5.-Under the heading.
"Order-Counter-O rder-Disorder," the
Tageblatt describes the bungling of
Prussia with American fruits, and
asks: Are we really drifting into a
fierce tariff war with the United States
desire?" The Vorwaerts publishes an
article headed 'Agrarian Attack on
America" detailing the stupidity which
the different revenue stations display in
interpreting the prohibitory decree.
Other liberal newspapers make similar
comments.

HuMBERT AND HIS DOCTOR.
of the King of Italy and
DR.. Carlo SagIiOne.

The late death of DR.. Carlo Saglione.
private physician of King Humboldt.
produced a general feeling of sorrow.
Apart from his professional attain
ments, he was well known as fine shot
and a passionate lover of hunting. He
had held the same office under King
Vittorio Emanuele, and the present
king, although he has a special dislike
for doctors, regarded him and treated
him as friend. DR.. Saglione spoke &c
me on one occasion of the strong conSti-
tuition OF the Italian sovereign, his pas
sion for riding, hunting and other vio-
lent exercises. In the chase or at the
maneuvers King Humbert is always the
first 90 horseback, and the late to dis
mount, fresh and smiling, when his
companions are jaded and worn out
DIR. Saglione was ever at his side-on
the top of the snowy Alps chasing the
wild goat and chamois, in the almost
inaccessible forests of Castel Fusano
hunting the wild boar, or On the i'm
mense sunny plains of Lombardy to
pass in review thousands and thousands
of soldiers.
Sometimes the king from his hunting
lodge of Castel FCsano goes to the sea
and amuses himself by shoveling sand
into cart. Take care, your majesty"
said Sdglione one day, mot to perspire
too much" "Ah! my dear signor doc
tor" answered the king, resting his
chin on his two hands, which grasped
the handle of his spade, this muscular
exercise does me much more good than
your prescriptions Yes, but. one
must abuse nothing" But I tell you
that 1 feel very well and you are afraid
you see in this poor shovel competi-
tor" And. laughing heartily, the king
finished filing his cart.
However, by exposing himself in
every way without exercising any care
the king contracted bronchitis, which
has taken chronic form and has given
him a rather troublesome cough. This
cough was source of anxiety to the
faithful doctor, as he could not con-
vince his patient of the necessity for
taking medicine. Occasionally the doc
tor was even sent away abruptly by the
king, who would say: II have not
called you. Why do you come? You
may go. thank you very much!"
One evening, however, the deceased
doctor thought he had gained his point,
and he prepared for the king in his bed
room the powders he was to take dur
ing the night. The next morning DIR.
Saglione rose very early, as King Hum
bert never sleeps more than five hours,
being very anxious to know the effect
Of his medicine. He was received in the
bedroom, and at once asked: "Well,
how does your majesty feel this morn
ing?"
Much better-I may say, quite well. -
was the response.
"Ah!" observed the doctor, rubbing
his hands with satisfaction, you see
the result of listening to reason"
what do you mean 2" asked the king.
'The powders!"
"Bravo!" shouted King Humbert.
$50 into the next room and see what
you can find"
The powders were in the waste-paper
basket
DR.. Saglione had eventually to aban-
don his post, being struck down by
paralysis, but King Humbert, although
obliged to have another physician in
the person of DR.. Querico. would not
replace him officially until his DEATH

Sentenced.

Andrew C. Haugan, ex-city treasurer
of Minneapolis, convicted of misappro-
priation of city funds. was sentenced
to four months in Jail and fine of ST..
600. He spen quiet Sabbath in con-
fnement. It was the first full day of
confinement, and the prisoner, in COM
mencing his term of four months,
seems determined to make the best of
a bad affair.
Just after sentence had been pro-
nounced, number of influential
friends of Mr.. Hangar went to the Jail
and requested that the prisoner be al
lowed to remain IN the hospital. This
is the pleasantest part of the Jail. AL
though quiet and lonely, it is prefer
able to the noise and profane language
used by many of the prisoners in the
Jail room. However, Jailor Duffield
decided that the new prisoner would
have to share the trou bles of the others
and occupy a cell with the rest.

large majority Of whom are women.
The vampers and pipers were the only
operatives who escaped the knife, but
they have no reason to rejoice as they
felt Its effects several months ago. The
reduction Is a severe blow to many

vised price list will fall short in some
cases several dollars. The shop has
been running on eight hours time for

can be learned, come together to discuss
they will take, but there are lIlInors
