interested in the Elkton and Middletown
Railroad, who was in Elkton this week,
stated when asked about the construction

thought that as soon us the roadbed Of tho

OF any other of which he understood there
were two more in existence.

Is enough to condemn 1t ifnothng else.

Talks of Excluding Horses.
Berlin. Feb. 5.-Mr. White, the Uni
ted States ambassador, has lodged an
other formal protest with Baron Won
Buelow as in spite Of the bundesrath
resolution American fresh fruit Is still
everywhere excluded. The United
States consul at Dusseldorf telegraphed
yesterday that only dried fruits had
been rele2sed, and that there were
about 1000 barrels of apples in the
bonded warehouses there.
The United States embassy during
the week has been flooded with apples
from the fruit merchants. dealers and
spectators who have been injured by
the decree. and several of them have
thanked Mr.. White for the vigorous
measures he has adopted.
1t appears that DR.. Miguel and Baron
Won Hammerstein-Loxten issued the
decree without the authority Of the
Prussian cabinet or of the bundesrath.
Under the heading. "Order-Counter-
order-Disorder. The Tageblatt de-
scribes the bungling of Prussia with
American fruit. and asks, Are we real
ly drifting into a fierce tariff war with
the United States because we have pet
ted the Asrarians' desire?"
The Vorwaerts publishes an article,
headed "Agrarian Attacks on America,
detailing the stupidity which the diff
ferent revenue stations display in in
terpretlng the prohibitory decree, and
others newspapers make similar COM
ment.
The issuance Of the decree was
brought about as follows:
