DENY HILL'S
REJECTION
I KAISER
Statement Issued By For
eign OffiGe In Berlin In
Relation to Appointment
-Emperor Said to Have
Written to Roosevelt.
W.ASMIXOTOX, .March - 27. The
statement issued from the foreign of-
lire at Merlin in relation to Dr. David
.la-yno Mill must be accepted .by our
govern men t on its fare as amounting
to a denial ot the rejort that UiH-was
personally objectionable to tho Cierman
emperor.
ItKRLI.N, IMhrch 17. Thn matter of
acceptance by the (iemiuti government
of lavid Jnype Mill as tho Amorieun
: ambassador, continues to hold interest.
The foreign office deals with tho af
fair by denying that any explanation
adverse to Mill has conn? froin the Ger
man side, declaring that he is persona
grata, and that all statements to the
contrary are inventions put into circu
lation by designing Americans, nnd that
tin- opposition to Hill is American, not
(i'-riniin. " On the other hand, it is
known ihal certain member of the of
ficial household oppose Hill.
Mr. Tower's part, it is explained, has
been confined In I he transmittal to
I 'resilient Roosevelt id" t he emperor 'a
definite cnnniiunicatinn. It happens
that his majesty also requested a dis
tinguished personal friend of Roosevelt,
who is now in Germany, to write to
tin-president concerning Mb majesty's
unwillingness to receive Mill. Both of
these communications were sent at the
express, wish of:the emperor, .
It is just possible that the foreign of-
t'ice is not aware of the second com
munication, which is probably still in
the trans-Atlantic mails.
MILLION DOLLAR LOSS
' ON THE APPLE MARKET
A late issue of the New' York Com
mercial says of the New York apple
market:
"There is n largo accumulation of ap
ples on hand in this market, and on all
offerings the tone is weak. Dealers
here do not hesitate to assert that the
losses made by speculators and holders
;tt primary points will lie large, and it i
freely predicted that the total will j'x.
eeetl $l,Hiu,innf on the lull" crop. .There
are few. apples on this market that sell
for $(.."() per barrel. The bulk of the
sales are within a range of $2 to .fit per
barrel, few lots, however, reaching the
outsi.de .figure. The market has bwn
demoralized by the heavy stocks of low
yrad fruit.
A report from Pittsburg says of the
apple market there:
" Although the apple crop of the conn
try fell short of the yield of the pro
, itis year, there is said to In now in
storage in the eastern warehouses thou
sands of barrels of apples in excess of
the-amount nt .this time last year, which
ihe "manipulators of the corner havo
been unable to market.
"It has been an open secret for some
weeks that the local market has carried
a large oversnpply. 100 carloads being
reported frequently on the sidings in
the producp yards. It is said that some
of thoqe interested in the apple corner
. who have been most confident have lost
hope of realizing a profit and are en
deavoring to negotiate a transfer of
their holdings at considerably lower
price, even for the fancy grades."
