board seven miners from the Yukon.
They brought about $4,000 in dust, and

both men dying almost instantly. Fay

ORDER MODIFIED.
Prompt Acts of Our Minister Re
garding Fruit Prohibition.


Washington, Feb 4.-The state de-
partment has been notified by Ambas-
sador White at Berlin. of the modifica-
ton OF the original decree issued by
the Prussian minister of finance, DR.
MIGUEL, prohibiting the importation of
American fruit. According to the
ambassadors cable today. the decree
does not as he advised yesterday. ap-
ply to dried fruits. while fresh fruit will
be admitted to entry if an eXamina-
ton shows its condition to be satisfac-
tory 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
transit as its terms indicated, the
shippers would have been in the 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 sustain this demand
for indemnity.
The United States embassy, during
the week. has been flooded with appeals
from fruit merchants, dealers and ship
pers, who have been injured by the
decree. and all 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
the bundesrath.

JAPANS' PRIME MINISTER.
Interview With Ito on the Affairs of
His Nation

New York, Feb. A special to the
Herald from Toxic says;
Marquis Ito received your correspon-
dent at his official residence. He said:
Concerning matters of foreign policy
1 must be necessarily reticent. The
government of Japan is watching the
situation in the east and is prepared
to safeguard Japanese interests by
whichever means may be required by
events. am investigating the existing
conditions of international affairs.
returned only 16 months ago. but there
has been so many changes under the
late government THAT 1 feel 1 need to
study the situation carefully before
announcing my policy and plans. The
diet to. be elected on March Is will
probably convene about the middle of
May. By that time l shall be ready to
lay programme before parliament"
DO you approve the proposal to in
crease the Japanese navy to 100000
tons. now advocated by several Japan
csc newsoapers?''
Every nation" the marquis replied,
would like to be as strong as possible.
Such an increase will require several
years and a great deal of money. We
should not hesitate, however, to make
the necessary sacrifices, if circum-
stances demand il. l would like to have
you inspect the Japanese fleet and see
how we'll disciplined it is. We are
stronger than ever before"
DO you expect to make important
changes of national policy?"
Il believe in making public school
education practical and harmonizing
the training therein given with what
are called modern, progressive ideas;
bringing it into line with American
methods This viii receive very care
full attention from my government"
DO you expect to go forward with
colonizing Formosa?''
Yes; / hope TO pacify it soon, and
extend our control to all parts of the
island and develop it's great resources"

The natural gas controversy is about
to be revived in a new form.
AS consumers are aware, very little
gas except the manufactured article,
has been supplied of late, and the
Union Light officials repeat emphatic
/ ally the statement frequently made by
/ them that the amount of gas that has
1 been coming in from the fields amounts
to almost nothing. AS The Herald
announced some time ago, the flow
I from the wells was almost stopped
thrc j the pipes being choked, but it
was promised that this temporary set
back would be overcame without delay
and Mr.. Driver certainly took meas
ures at once 10 remove the Obstruc-
tions. On top of this came the intense
cold weather, which some claim had
its effect in the supply. and whatever
the cause may have been, the Union
company met the demand by turning
in artificial gas, mixed with small
quantity of the natural article.
Mr.. Driver, of the Natural Gas COM
pany, who on Wednesday obtained a
judgment against the Electric COM
pany for over $1,000, insists that aside
from temporary causes, such as the
choking of the pipes through debris
getting into them, the supply of natu-
raj gas is adequate
The scarcity, he claims. is due to the
leakage of the main chiefly. and ii was
on that point that he recently recov-
cred the greater portion of his judg-
ment In addition TO this, he asserts
that new strike has been made, the
well having a strong flow and being
connected with the line bringing the
gas into the city.
Despite this, however, the Union
company claims that no more gas than
before is coming in, and it is certain
that last night the manufactured gas
was being furnished in the same pro-
portion as before.
Yesterday Superintendent Kempf of
the Union company went out to the gas
wells and made an inspection, which
was as thorough as it could be in
short time. He did not find, so he
claims, that the gas is coming through
in the quantities claimed by Mr.. Driver.
The facts, summed up, seem TO be that
the new flow has been struck; that the
main is certainly defective, although
to what extent is merely a guess. and
that manufactured gas is being used.
Mr.. Kempf and Mr.. Hayward of the
Union company claim that this is rem
dered absolutely necessary because of
the lack of natural gas. Mr.. Driver
claims that it is not necessary if the
other company really desired to use
the natural gas and had the mains in
proper condition.

In the district represented by the
towns mentioned there are about 10000
miners and small farmers. During the
A. r. L. strike it was one of the tur-
bulent sections of the country Regu-
lar troops were sent there. The strik-
ers were reduced to subsection, but
they bitterly resented the invasion by
the troops and have always threatened
that when the next strike came they
would teach the soldiers a lesson.
Mr.. ChilderS reports that the oath taken

league provides that each member shall.

that the threats of these men, high-hown

TALKED OVER IN CABINET.
None of Its Members Disturbed By
German Prohibition.

Washington, Feb. AT the cabinet
meeting today the decree of the Ger
man government relating to American
fruit was talked over and figures We're
produced to show the great Importance
of the trade put in jeopardy by this
sudden and unprecedented action on
the part of the German government
The modification of the decree made
known by the latest advices from Am
baEsador White was taken as an evil
dence that the matter is still subject
to diplomatic adjustment.
Secretary Wilson stated in the course
Of the discussion over Germany's ac-
ton that it was undoubtedly true that
certain we'll known fruit diseases had
been carried on the fruit itself and
the infection could be communicated
TO healthfui trees at a great distance.
IT was explained that certain states of
the Union in times past had prohibited
the bringing within their borders OF
certain kinds Of fruit from infected
sections in other states The action
of Prussia, therefore might be entire
ly proper and clearly within their
right. Neither the president nor any
Of the members of the cabinet were
