IMPORTATION OF GOODS
Treasury Issues Instructions
Concerning Responsibility.
DUTY OF THE COLLECTOR
Preparations Are Being Made to Carry
Into Effect the Recent Act of
CongrsssGrantingL Liensfor Freight
Charges - Responsibility Of the
Agent Defined.

The Treasury Department has issued in
structious TO carry INTO effect the act OF
Congress granting liens for freight charges
or contribution OF general average. 1he
instructions define the nature of the GUS
tody.' specified in the act.
They nold IHaJ imported goods arrive in
this country in the immediate custody Of
the owner cr agent Of the vessel OF vehicle
OF Importation. and are continued in such
custody until the chief officer of customs
takes possession of the goods. or until the
owner or agent OF the vessel has made
lawful delivery OF them TO the consignee
under permit of the collector.
The collector or other chief officer takes
such possession under the PROVISIONS OF
Section 2SSo. Of the Revised Statutes, by
some APPROPRIATE order. such as general
ORDER or a special order TO send un-
claimed goods 10 bonded warehouse, or
an order To send bOnded goods To the desig-
mated warehouse. or an order to deliver
bonded goods to the surveyor for transpor-
tation or expectation.
AGENT is RESPONSIBLE.
In order TO maintain due restraint over
the disposition of tie cargo an Inspector
OF customs is assigned to the vessel or
vehicle of importation, who remains on
board until tie cargo has been Ia wfully dis
chsrged. put the agent or owner of the
vessel or vehicle OF importation is not re-
lieved OF Tie responsibility for the safe
keeping Of inc goods until such discharge
has been made.
The supervision and restraint by the
customs inspectors is relinquished when
ever they are directed 10y the collector
TO peru.it the delivery of he goods to The
lawful representative of the c0nSignec.
Whatever may hc the meaning Of the words
.'custouiS custody used Independently,
reasonable construction of the act in ques-
ton would seem 10 limit these words as
Indicated above. Actual customs Gust ody
In the meaning of this act begins, therefore,
whenever the goods are rem owed from the
possession Of the owner or agent of the
importing vessel by customs officers by
virtue of an order OF the collector.
QUESTION OF FREIGHT.
The department conStrues the act of Nav
21, 1896, as having no reference to goods
for which entries for consumption have
been made: it applies solely to goods landed
under an order of the collector and surren-
dered to his custody for the purposes above
set forth.
The freight which is specified in the act
is held TO be the freight charged for the
ocean transportation OF the goods and
tue inland freight charged for delivering
10 an interior port, goods covered by through
bills of lading for sucl <;orts; the charges
specified therein are Sne charges incident
20 the shipment of the goods abroad, to-
Gsher with any charges assumed by the
cil\naDt OF the lien in forwarding the same
to lNrt of destination, and are not other
charges accruDg after the arrival OF the
goods in this country

NInttsrs of Etiquette.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
VIII you please answer in your Query
column the following questions:
If a person makes an engagement with
n lady TO attend an entertainment and
lust before the time for the entertain
ment he is hurt, so that he can hardly
walk with the lady n short distance, but
would be able TO 80 by himself, should
he go?
2. Should a gentleman raise his hat
TO a lady clerk on entering a store, If
he is not acquainted with her, or vice
versa?
by answering you viii oblige Me.
1t would naturally be considered
breach Of etiquette for young man,
under any circumstances, to appear at an
entertainment alone having been dis
abled by an accident. and thus prevented
from fulfilling an engagement with a
young lady No explanation would be
likely TO be satisfactory to her of his ne
glect TO fulhl his engagement.
2. 1t is not customary for gentlemen
10 raise their hats to lady clerks unless
they are acquaintances.
Ladies takes their places behind coun-
ters in a strictly business way. and So
cial attentions would be inconvenient ard
unbusnesslike during working hours.
When they leave their place OF business
like teaching or any other womanly occu-
patton, 1t is laid aside for the social side
Of life.

allowing the water 10 run out OF my
hydrant continually at the rate OF three
and a half gallons per minute. This is
all that viii run out or my hydrant per
minute II Il is not too much trouble.
also tell me what the city would charge
for the above amount OF water always,
II had q water-meter? J. w.
II Is violation of the city ordinance
to allow any fixture 20 run continuously.
and the person so offending Is liable TO a
fine OF $40 for each offence.
II a water-meter were placed on the
pipe. and the hydrant wasted continuously
at the rate OF three and half gallons a
minute. the water bill per month would
be si2lO. The rate of waste would be 500
gallons per day.
There are many fixtures Doth hydrants
and closets that are wasting at this
rate, which readily accounts for our large
consumption. and want OF pressure.
