while the hungry flames were eating

Above the sound OF the cracking flames

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The state de-
partment has been notified by Ambas-
sador White, at Berlin, of the modifi-
cation of the original decree issued by
the Prussian minister of finance, DIR.
Miguel, prohibiting the Importation of
American fruits According to the
ambassadors cable yesterday the de-
cree does not, as he advised Thursday,
apply to dried fruits, while fresh fruit
will be admitted to an entry if an ex.
animation 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 originally promulgated, had been
applied to shipments of fruit in tran
sit, as its terms indicated, the shippers
would have had a right to claim in
demnity from the Prussian govern.
ment for the damages sustained by
them, and it would be regarded by the
United States government as a matter
of duty to sustain this demand for in.
demnity.

THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T.
A German Statement as to Why American
Fruits Are Excluded.

Fruits Are Excluded.
BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The Reichsanzeiger
yesterday afternoon published the
following:
The American agricultural depart
ments report on the San Jose shield
louise led to an official inquiry here as
to the circumstances under which
American fruit is imported. Prof.
Frank, on January 90. found on Cali
fornia pears arriving at Ham
burg numerous living, breeding
shield lice, absolutely identical!
with the true San Jose Shield louise.
He consequently expressed the Opin-
ion that the home fruit cultivation
was exposed to grave material dam
ger thereby. A conference of the
other specialists and the reports of the
imperial Office of health confirmed
this view in every particular. Thus
the necessity for prompt measures for
protection was fully demonstrated"
The Reichsanzeiger then describes
the extraordinary harmfulness" of
the San Jose louise, according TO pub
locations of the Washington agricul-
tural department and the treasures
taken in America, notably in Oregon
and British Columbia, and continues:
1T is thus the unavoidable duty of
the government to give efficacious pro-
lection to the home fruit industry from
the danger of disease here"
The Reichsanzeiger then gives the
regulations adopted. and concludes
with pointing out phylloxera as an ex-
annie of the danger of not adopting
immediate protective measures, while
the Colorado bug, it is added, has been
kept out by timely precautions.

Matters Considered at the Meeting Of tbs
Cabinet - German Prohibition OF Our
fruits, and the subsequent Modihcation
OF the Original Decree the subleck Oh
Especial Iuterest TAKEN Up
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-A number OF
topics were discussed at yesterday ;
cabinet meeting.
The decree of the German govern
ment relative TO American fruit was
talked over and figures were pro-
duced to show the great Importance
of the trade put in jeopardy By this
sudden and unprecedented action on
the part of Germany. The mOditca-
ton of the decree made known by the
latest adyiceS from Ambassador White
was taken as an evidence that the mat
ter is still subject to diplomatic adj
iustmenL
Secretary Wilson stated. in the
course of the discussion over Ger
many's action, that it was undoubtedly
true that certain well-known fruit dis
eases could be carried on the fruit
itself, and thus the infection could be
communicated to healthy trees at
great distance. 1t was explained that
certain states in the Union, in times
past had. prohibited the bringing
within their borders of particular
kinds of fruit from infected sections in
other states The action of Prussia,
therefore, might be entirely proper and
clearly within their right
Neither the president nor any of the
mem bers of the cabinet were disturbed
by the incident or disposed to pre-
Judge the case in the absence of def
Mite Information.
Secretary Wilson understood, he
said, that the total expectations of
fruits to Germany during the last year
amounted TO only about 81, 900, 600; but
during the last i've or six years Ameri-
can fruit had grown in favor quite
rapidly in that country, and the indica-
tons had been that within, the next
few years the expectations would have
aggregated several millions of dollars.
Ambassador Whites report will be
awaited with interest, and should it
appear that Prussia's action was
prompted by a spirit Of retaliation for
losses sustained by reason OF the dis
eliminating duty placed upon German
sugars, or for other reasons there is no
doubt that this government would give
the matter serious consideration.
The attorney general made known
to the cabinet the state of the nego-
tlations now going on as to the fore
closure and sale of the Kansas Pacific
railroad and it was decided that the
outlook was very favorable for the
government interests.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.
Friends of the Measure Hopeful of Early
Consideration

Friends of the Measure Hopeful of Early
Consideration
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5 The friends of
the immigration bill are hopeful of Sc
curing its consideration early next
week. At the same time feeling has
arisen of late that it is inexpedient to
press the question further during the
present session of congress. owing to the
political antagonisms it would arouse.
The prevailing sentiment, however, is
that the measure will be taken from
the speakers table as soon as the
military academy appropriation bill
is out OF the way, and that
it will pass by a considerable
majority after two or three days
discussion. Representative Mehaney is
organizing an opposition on the repub-
lican side of the chamber, and with
this element will cooperate most of
the minority members. Chairman Dan
ford hopes to have the bill passed as it
came from the senate. with the single
change of making the educational test
include both reading and writing.
