(Herman? Heelden to Admit Fruit in
Transit, *ubj*>cl to Rcnlrlrtlou*.
Berlin, Feb. 3.?It Is announced that
the Budeisrath (Federal Council) In
plenary sitting to-day approved its
committee's proposal that a decree
Should be Issued prohibiting the Im?
portation from America of ?ve plants
and shrubs and packages containing
the same. The decree will also in a cer?
tain measure .affect American fruits.
They are to be examined by experts on
their arrival at German ports; and
packages found to be Infected with
the fruit louse will be excluded. In?
structions to this effect will be Issued
to the customs authorities.
This announcement, which is made
by an otlleial agency, appease to indi
ate a me sure distinct fram the de
Tee Issued on Tuesday by Dr. Miguel,
he Prussian minister of finance; pro
libitlng the importation of every kind
>f American fresh fruit, but it \s d'.lll
?illt to ascertain the exact details. The
undesrath's measure, it is pointed out,
.? "far less stringent than similar meas
ires at present enforced in individual
states of the American Union."
The Associated Press learns that the
Limburg authorities to-day permitted
he unloading of apples from the United
itatcs, owing to instructions received
rim Rerlin. as the result, of the pro
e ls of Ambassador White against Dr.
Mlquel'3 decree.
The Associated Press ascertains :hat
be Bundcerarh supersedes with its aii
horlty Dr. Mlquel's decree, which
- ems ill-advised in its rigor and sud
I nness, and which naturally provis
ional wits occasioned by the recently
? ported results of experiments by Dr.
" ledrlch Von Kuege;, of the agricul
1 r il high school.
The Bundesrath's action Is due, the
\-soda ted Press is Informed, to a so?
rb's of vigorous protests from the ship
I eis affected, and especially those of
Hamburg, on ihe lower Rhine, and at
Emmerich, and still more to the pro
? sts of Ambassador White. Its do
.?l^lon forbids the Importation only
.vhere fruit is affected by the nspld
0 us pernlsi?s?s, or San Jo.-e plant bug
ivliich Is said to have done enormous
1 image in the United States.
The Bundesrat h's decree applies to
the whole of Germany, and makes mat
? rs momentarily better, bill it Is be?
loved that its future Interpretation will
largely correspond with Dr. Mlaud's
lecrce. Parties Interested here tea
hat the United State.-: will resort to re?
prisals.

port? in hundredweight: American,

London, Fob. 4.?The Berlin corres?
pondent of th* Times savs:
"Customs ofllclals at Emmerich.
Rhenish Prussia, received telcgrapnic
instructions on January .10th from Dr.
Mlquel, the Prussian Minister of Fi?
nance, to stop the impontatton of fresh
fruits from America. The Hamburg
Senate Issued a similar order on the
following day.
"iProfriata against the latter have se?
cured from the Hamburg Senate ptr
misslon, llrtitly, .for further expirt of
consignments to England, and secmd
ly, for consignments of American ap?
ples that have already reaohel Ger?
many to lie delivered to thos* to whom
they are addressed.
"The subject occupied the attcn'.l.an
of vhe Bundesrath to-day (Thursday),
when it was decided that 'Importalion
'. f fresh fruit is only forbidden when
the same l.s discovered to con'aln a
riant bug. "The prohibition <loes no'
x-tend to dried fruits; but the Impor
at Ion of windfalls, packing material
mil plant Is altogether forbidden.
' "The general Indignation aroused is
.lue perhaps less to the riimimerclal loss?
es that ir.'ight ensu ?. Inasmuch as Amer?
ican fruits bear relatively a small pro?
portion to tho total fruiit import, than
to the feeling tihat the government has
been influenced by AgrarLin pressure."

Onr Legal TeuUor Mole* Not in Ar?
cor?l fFlth True Economic Law*.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 3.?Two Cabi?
net oilicens were among the speakers
at the annual banquet of the Mer
chants' and Manufacturers' Associa?
tion here to-night.
Secretary Gage, of the Treasury,
was the chief speaker, but Poetmaster
General Gary was also on the list, as
were Congressman Nelson Dlngley,
Congressman Allen, of Mississippi,
and United States Senator Wellington.
Secretary Cage said, in part:
"It is the just complaint against
Government issues of paper monuy
that, though obedient to the legislative
will, it Is nevertheless not in harmony
with higher economic law which blesses
the obedient and punishes oil violation,
whether the violation be wilful or
through Ignorance; A true credit in?
strument, truthfully evidencing that a
thing of value has passed?yet still
exists a fact, even If transformed In
shape and substance?such an instru?
ment Is clothed with .the quality of
legitimacy. If the fact be otherwise,
If the value passed has been con?
sumed, destroyed or lost, the credit
instrument itself becomes u commer?
cial interloper, a misleading token, nor
can kings, emperors or senates change
the fact.
"I can only point out the fact that
our own legal tender notes. In a great
crisis, are yet out of accord with the
true economiic laws. 'Pile value for
which they were originally issued was
immediately consumed or destroyed.
As now reissued they are evidences of
a value already consumed by the is?
suer, or of Service? already past. These
notes operating In the commercial field,
thus differentiated from the true credit
instrument which commerce can
create, and if left at reasonable lib?
erty will Itself create, must somewhere
work injury, even we cannot distinc?
tively point it out.
"In my opinion It is here that busi?
ness receives injury, general and wide
reaching, through its forced relations
to Government paper money. I wish
it were not so. I would bo glad In
this regard to be in error. Neither is
it pleasant nor popular to bear this
witness if It be true, but I know of
no higher duty upon the man who lives
his country, who desires it to march
In the vanguard of progress and
prosperity 'among Hie nations of the
earth, than to deal faithfully accord?
ing to the light of his honest convic?
tions with those great questions which
affect for good or ill his country'*
welfare."

Abraham Lincoln has raised the ques?
tion of tlie proper disposition of that
famous bit of bunting. G. A. it. men
want it sent to the National Museum,
where it can be properly taken care of.
It is one of the most interesting his?
torical relics In the country, and should
be carefully preserved. The Hag hap?
pens to be in the Treasury because it
was presented to the Treasury Light
Guard along with another in 1864* by
the women of the Department. This
banner guard was of good use when
Jubal Early was threatening the Cap?
ital, but It did not have any lighting to
do.

TUR E>ASTERIN SHORE.
V Region Famous for Its Oysters and
Clams.
(Llpplncott's Magazine.)
Thnt division of Maryland which Is
known as the "Kastorn Shore" contains
no vast extent of territory, and It Is peo?
pled hy no Immense multitude! no great
historical event has occurred there; It
has not had the fierce light of publicity
turned upon every happening within its
borders; It Is not a state; It Is not an
empire; it has no gold or silver or coal
mines-, no oil or gas well:-?; and It has
no Imperial possibilities; It Is not the
center of the world; no large metropolis
exists upon It, and none ever will exist
there.
Nevertheless, it I? a famous region; Its
local name is known to most of the In?
telligent eil Isens or the United States,
and the place Indicated by the title I? at
once understood. It has a greatness of
lt.-? own, and has claim.-? upon public
attention. Its situation Is Interesting;
its population lias a marked character;
Us products are valuable, and are In de?
mand everywhere In this land, and In
many places outside of America; and Its
fame i.=> great because of the sensations
It provider for the p.alatcs of men.
(N? district In the ancient world wna
more Justly celebrated for provisions for
pleasing the epicure than this territory,
which is sometimes thought of a.? a mere
sandbar. The grapes of Epli:lam or the
onions and garlic of Egypt were not
more famous among the Jews, nor the
wheat Holds of Egypt among the Ro?
mans, nor the eel and mullet ponds of
Lucullus, nor the wine? of Falernla,
among the same people, than some of
the products of this region ore among
moderns.
