instructions on Jan. 30 from DR.. Miguel.
the Prussian minister Of finance, to stop
the Importation Of fresh fruit from
America. The Hamburg senate issued
a similar order on the following day.
Protests against the latter have Sc
cured from the Hamburg senate per-
mission, firstly, for further export Of
conslgnments to England, and, second
ly, for consignments Of American ap-
pies that have already reached Ger

they are addressed.
"The subject occupied the attention
Of the bundesrath yesterday when II
was decided that importation Of fresh
fruit is only forbidden when the same
is discovered to contain a plant bug
The prohibition does not extend to dried
fruits. but the Importation of wind
falls, packing material and plant is al
together forbidden
"The general Indignation aroused is
due perhaps less 10 the commercial loss
es that might ensue. inasmuch as
American fruits bear relatively a small
proportion TO the total fruit import,
than to the feeling that the government
has been influenced by agrarian pres

A Great Surprise in the KILLER
Trial.

LURAY, VA, March 1i.-(Special) ITO
the great surprise OF all, counsel for Kib-
Ter rested their case to-day, without ex-
aiming the prisoner, as was done on the
former trial. The prosecution failed In
getting in the testimony offered In rebuff
tal and the argument OF the case opens
tomorrow morning. The court admitted
testimony that Willis ID. Kibler, the VIC
tim of the murder, had stated at various
times that his life was threatened and in
danger. The defence could not prove who
made the threats. Other evidence was in
troduced of the affection existing between
the prisoner and the murdered man. Wit
nesses for the defence testified that the
old man took the prisoner to live with
him, as a protection. George Beylor was
put on the stand. and said Willis KILLER
had stated that he had been attacked in
his own house by unknown parties. The
deceased had procured several pistols,
saying he needed them for his defence.
To Mrs. Wood. his niece, he had said: Il
will either kill somebody, or somebody
will kill me. 1 cannot take everything"
other witnesses testified that the old man
had at different times carried a gun for
his protection This evidence is new in
the case.
