prohibited the importation OF American fresh

Tho Tdpebldtt, In an article commenting upon

This outcry has not been lessened by the fact

that Germany is all the time growing to, be

OF Germany is. by actual prohibition, as In the
present case of our apples, which is by far our
largest fresh fruit export to that country.
WASHINGTON DOESN'T BELIEVE IT.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE State Department
has no official Information about the reported
prohibition Of tho Importation of American
fruits into Germany. The officials are inclined
not to believe that the prohibition. IL 1t has
been ordered. applies only to this country: One
of them said to-day that tho embargo might BIO
established against fruits from all American
South American republics. but its application
to the United States only would be too great an
affront to be overlooked. and he did not know of
any reason on which Germany could base such
a hieh.handed action. The department has
taken steps to ascertain the truth of the report.
II 1t is confirmed. Immediate consideration of
the question of retaliation will follow and o pro-
test will be made to the German Government.

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE recent defeat Of the Of
fetal trades unions has prompted Tom Mann.
the well.known labor loader, who is backed by
certain ether labor leaders, to issue q manifesto
urging the formation of a new workers union.
This union Is intended TO be essentially political
as we'll as industrial. because 1t has been shown
that trades unionism without political action 10
not equal to the solution of the labor problem.
The aim is to organize the bulk Of the coun.
try's workers. of whom barely one-hfth are Elm.
braced in the existing unions. and to enroll all
classes OF workers. skilled and unskilled. brain
workers and hand workers, the organization to
be used on every possible occasion to advance
tho interests OF its members by political effort
until collectivism shall supersede capitalism.
A preliminary conference that was hold this
evening Endorsed the scheme.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-Major Spillsbury, tho leader
of the expedition sent out by the Globe Venture
Syndicate of London. has sent a despatch from
the Azores. whittier he went on the company's
steamer Tourmaline giving an account of the
trouble in which the expedition became involved
In Morocco. a report of which was cabled to THE
SUN on Monday last.
1t appears from the despatch that the fighting
between the expedition and the Moroccan
troops was not serious. The five Englishmen
who were captured had remained ashore with
the intention of shooting game. The remainder
of tho expedition reboarded tho Tourmaline.
and q sudden storm prevented them from com.
municating with the shore.
Meanwhile the Moroccan troops seized the
men ashore. The whereabouts of the prisoners
is unknown. Major Spillsbury declares that the
expedition did not land any arms. and that the
attack by the Moroccans was entirely unpro-
voked.

to acquisition Of the islands. which Mr.. White
urged at some length was that the population
was undesirable, made up largely Of natives.
Chinese, and Japanese, and that tho proportion
Of whites was small as compared with the whole
population.
This gave Senator Tillman of South Carolina
an opportunity, to accuse the Republicans Of IN.
consistency, which ho proceeded to. do with
great warmth. BY their advocacy Of the annex
alton OF Hawaii the Republicans were, he said,
endeavoring to set up q white mans govern.
