White Confirms tile Modification of the
Fruit Decree.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. - When the
cable as to the prospective quaran-
tine of American horses was shown to
Chairman Hit OF the foreign affairs
committee, he said this move was clearly
a Part Of the general movement toward
exclusion, shown by the recent action
against American fruit. His colleague
on the foreign affairs committee Mr..
Adams (Pa.), said the dispatch sug-
gested that it was time to discover a
bacillus ID German wine, and it would
be desirable also to determine as to the
sanitary q ar&eter OF the process of
making German sugar sent to the
United States. MIR. Cousins (Ia.),
another member Of the foreign affairs
committee, said: "Our state depart
ment should give distinct Il 1tice that if
there is any desire 10 stop trade with us
this slould be done in a straightforward
way and not by indirectly attacking our
products on sanitary grounds. "
The dispatch from Berlin reads as fol-
lows:
BERLIN. Feb. Barron Won Ham
merstela-Loxten, the minister of agri-
culture, at the session of the Prussian
QlGt, declared Jtlat American horses de-
veloped influenza after importation.
He added If importations increase we
shall certainly be forced to adopt suit
able quarantine to protect ourselves. !"
The officials of the agricultural de-
partment emphatically diseredit the
probability of American horses carrying
the influenza into Germany~ and say
that if they do develop it after importa-
ton, it is contracted from animals in
that country. The statements of the
German minister of agriculture, Secre-
tary Wilson says, are unwarranted.
DR.. Salmon, the chief of the bureau of
animal industry, in the course of an in
terview said: "The horses which are
imported are not inspected, but if an
animal has the disease it will recover or
die before the trans Atlantic journey is
made. All danger is passed by the time
the other side is reached. E"
The growth in the shipment of Amer
lean horses to Europe in the past four
years has been enormous. These ship
ments III 1897 aggregated in value 81,
1859, 1865, as against $71S,607 in 1898. The
value of those sent to Germany i'll 1897

WHY ACTION WAS TAKEN.
Report of Our Agricultural Department
Caused Investigation.

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The Reichsanzeiger
publishes the following:
1.-The American agricultural depart
ment's report on the San Jose shield
louise led to an official inquiry here as to
the circumstances under which Ameri-
can fruit is imported. Prof. Frank, ON
Jan. %, found on California pears, ar
irving at Hamburg, numerous living,
breeding shield lice, absolutely identical
with the true San Jose shield louise
He consequently expressed the opinion
that the home fruit cultivation was ex-
posed to a grave material danger thereby.
A conference of the other specialists
and the reports of the imperial office of
health confirmed this view iii every
particular. Thus the necessity for
prompt measures for protection was
fully demonstrated
The Reichsanzeiger then describes
the extraordinary harmfulness'' Of the
Jan Jose louise, according to publ
cations of the Washington agricultural
department, and the measures taken in
America, notably in Oregon and British

A NUMBER of ice houses have been

next summer. The labor incident to

thick enough to be cut.
A PRIZE fight is to take place some

one Of the principals was absent and
the bout was postponed. The affair

Sixteen rounds will be fought. A

CONFIRMED BY WHITE.
His Vigorous Action Evidently Caused
Modification of Fruit Decree.

His Vigorous Action Evidently Caused
Modification of Fruit Decree.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The state de-
partment has been notified by Ambassa-
dor White, at Berlin, of the modification
of the original decree issued by the Prus-
sian minister of finance, DIR. Miguel
prohibiting the importation of American
fruit. According to the ambassadors
cablegram the decree does not apply to
dried fruits, while fresh fruits will be
admitted to entry if an examination
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.
The state department is now obliged
to await the receipt of full advices of
the exact nature OF the modified decree,
and watch its workings. 1t is hoped
that the examinations of the fruit may
not be made unduly severe, for it is be-
lieved that, as in the case of meat prod
ucts i'll the early stages of the exclusion
DEGREES, it will be possible to make these
inspections so harrasslng to importers of
fruit that there will be no inducement
to continue the trade.
Ii such q disposition is shown it will
be the duty of the state department to
lodge a firm protest. otherwise there is
danger that the success of the German
government i'll excluding this important
fruit trade Will have an effect upon the
governments of other European nations,
which, under Agrarian influences, are
seeking preteXts for cutting down
American competition with their farm

POINTS AGAINST ANNgxATloN.
Senator White Concludes His Long Speech
In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-S nator White
hc ncluGed his Il days paech in
" len 20 the annexation T.. Hawaii
ia t G executive ssion OF t. senate.
he made solae additional points
against the availability of Hawaii for
defensive purposes, saying that il is 500
miles from the outside islands of the
group to other islands. This fact, he
said, demonstrated that numerous
points must be guarded from hostile as
sault and that powerful navy would
be required to accomplish this; that this
immense expenditure will be without
benefit to our defenses on the continent.
He then took up the question of labor,
contending that the Chinese and Japan
csc are receiving S15 per month without
board. He ridiculed the pretension that
the Ango-Saxon race could labor IN Ha-
waiian sugar fields, and demanded to
know why, if they could why there was
no such white labor or the island now.
He denounced as absurd the assertion
that trade would be diverted from the
United States If annexation were de
feated, and said that even with the
present treaty cut Of the way the Ha-
Walians would do business with us; that
when the Mckinley bill was in force
they still traded Nth the United States.
He SAID that il there ever was any
necessity of holding anything in Ha-
wall cur possession at Pearl Harbor
was enough. He denied that there
were any valuable agricultural posi-
bilities TO justify annexation.
Mr.. White then took up the Dole gov
eminent, insisting that il was irregular
md fraud. He said in this connection
that it was universally conceded that
Hawaiian natives We're well educated
and would ba citizens of this country in
case of annexation, and contended that
they should be consulted.

Modern Dentistry.

The dentistry of the 10Th century
differs as much from the dental work
Of eye olden time" as the modern
safety bicycle does from the old
fashioned wheelbarrow. The latest,
most perfect and artistic dentistry
is known as crown and bridge work.
In this manner of inserting artificial
teeth, the old bunglesome, eumber-
some, filthy plate is done away with.
And it is to be regretted that so few
dentists thoroughly understand this
new departure in Dentist, especial
ly the older members of the profess
sion who have not had the opportu-
nifty to learn crown and bridge work,
as it is only in the past few wears
that the colleges give anything like
a thorough course in this new de-
parture.
Fully realizing this fact | have
taken special pains to fit myself in
every particular for this special work.
Not only through the dental college
but have recently taken two special
courses in this branch of dentistry
from those acknowledged to be the
best teachers. Come and see me. See
ing is believing. My prices are
right, my work is right, and you will
be more than pleased.

With exports very large the temper of
Tit market has been weaker. The re-
port Of the agricultural department. mas
had some influence, although its figures
are not generally credited or reliable
upon the operations of q Chicago specu-
lator, bat the fact remains that the
price depends largely upon foreign
needs and the comparative scarcity of
American supply. The outgo of corn
continues heavy, indicating a very
heavy foreign demand
The iron and steel manufacturer is
steadily gaining in consumption of pig
iron, although the production of the
material is still in excess of immediate
demands, but not enough to cause de-
cline in prices in Pittsburg or Chicago.
The demand for finished products has
been very heavy, and includes, for
structural work, 5000 tons for the state
capitol building in Pennsylvania, 1000
tons for the courthouse at Denver, 5000
tons for elevated railways at Chicago,
and numerous small buildings in vari-
Gus parts OF the country. The demand
for car building has been very heavy
both at the east and west, and the plate
demand greatly increased at the east on
account Of orders from Shipyards.
The prospect OF a combination of
wire manufacturers has stimulated the
demand and raised the price of wire
rods. Of Connellsville coke, 10, 1909
ovens are in blast, with an output of
$500 tons weekly, and the quoted

clear that he was the representative of
