Steamer Excelsior Sails With a
Big Cargo.

San francisco, Jan. 1S.-The steamer
Excelsior sailed to-day with over fifty
passengers for the Klondike. The wharf
was crowded with outfits and dogs. These

that have started for the north. None
had less than one thousand pounds of
food to each man and some had five thou
sand pounds each, enough to last for two
years.
The steamship companies will not be
able to handle the great rush to the Klon
dixie, unless more vessels are procured.
TIE prices OF shipping are now higher
than ever before. Vessels six months ago

or energy has been spared 70 place this

result has been that when u Behr piano
is mentioned in the trade it is always
spoken of as high grade, honestly and
skillfully made instrument With all
these qualifications there is no reason
why. if 1898 is at all prosperous year,
the output of the Behr piano should not
he double THAI of any previous year of its
existence.

BOTH DRIED FRUIT AND GREEN KEPT OUT
Tho Decree Entirely without Prece>
dent-vigorous Representation
VIII Be Made by the Stnte Dcpnr.
mont Before Rndicat Action Is
Taken.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Advicc.s were
received this afternoon from Ambasaa
dor White relative TO the decree of eX-
clusion OF American fruit from Prussia.
1t would seem that the full details Of
the decree are not yet obtanablc in
Berlin, but 1t Is expected that the am
bassador will cable the entire decree
az soon as he can obtain possession
Of it. The important facts that were
established by the advice We're:
First, That the decree of exclusion
uses the word American" az descrip-
tive of the place of origin of the fruit,
which would seem to exclude Canadian
fruit without question. Second, That
the decree, instead of applying only 10
fresh fruit, "a was at first supposed
includes in the prohibition all dried
fruits from America
State department officials have not
yet recovered from their surprise at the
method adopted by the German govern
ment OF accomplishing It's object in this
matter and undoubtedly the corrcspon-
dence 10 follow will set this out very
clearly. The objection to the course
pursued Is three-fold In the fist
place, 1t Is said to be entirely without
precedent, and discourteous toward
the American ambassador at Berlin to
make the decree and put It Into effect
without the slightest warning TO him
IN the second place, by making the
decree take effect at once and stopping
all fruit In t!ansit, great injus ice Is
done TO shippers who thus without
warning are made 30 lose heavily on
their capital invested In the fruit.
Third. the decree Is condemned In that
IL makes no provision for the admis-
SION OF fruit Of absolute purity; per-
mits no demonstration OF origin or
heaithful condition, and, In fact. con-
dennis all fruit, good and bad alike.
Ihese considerations are to be strong
~ urged upon the German government
as reasons why il should either revoke
or modify the decree on the lines inai-
cated' before any more radical action
is taken.
