THEY ARE ZANTE CURRANTs
Case Affecting Importers OF Dried Frui
Decided I'm San Francisco.

San Francisco, March 2s.-Cnited
States Judge Morrow rendered q de-
cision IN the celebrated ''Zante cur
rants case today, IN which he held
that all currants coming from Patras
and Cephalonia, IN the island Of Zante,
were Zante currants IN the meaning OF
the tariff law, and therefore subject TO
United States duties
The matter was brought UP by Col
lector Of the Port Wise IN an applica-
ton for writ OF review Of the Ques-
tons OF law involved IN the decision OF
the board OF United States general ap-
praiSers az New York IN the matter OF
the classified ton OF 800 barrels of cur
rants at San Francisco which were
specified as plum pudding label J.
currants" The collector classified them
as Zan,e currants and assessed a duty
Of lIs cents per pound thereon The
importers filed protest with the gen
eral appraisers, claiming that the cur
rants were not Zante cuTrants, but cur
rants grown in the provinces Of Greece
and therefore free Of duty as dried fruit
not otherwise provided for IN the VIII
son bill. The appraisers upheld The pro
test and thereupon Collector WISE refer
red the question 20 the United States
court for final adjudication.
In Stunning up. Judge Morrow says
that, IN his opinion the classification OF
The article imported and involved IN the
case made by Collector WISE was cor
rect and that the cu--ants are subiec;

e-s was declared erroneous and ordered

KICKS ON THE CHAMPAGNE
Protests About Breaking Bottle Over tho
Bow OF the Iowa.

Des Noines, Ia, March 26.-The sus-
gestion has been made by certain par
ties that because Iowa has prohibition
law on It's statute books, albeit that law
has been supplemented by the "mulct'
the breaking of a bottle Of champagne
over the bow of the warship Iowa
should be omitted. Some OF those who
have rushed into print with a pro
test" against the use of champagne on
this occasion have demanded that a bot
tie Of pure wa ter. possibly drawn nom
the peliucid waters Of the Des AIoines
river Just north of the Bona parte Dam,
be substituted Others have suggested
that pop" be uSed in honor Of a bever-
age that became exceedingly popular
in Iowa IN prohibition days.
However, no matter what substitute
was thought Of by those who opposed
the use of a bottle OF extra dry on
that occasion, X Is apparent that but
few people Of the state think seriously
Of such a change IN established customs.
Governor Drake was busy al a meet
ing OF the executive council this after
noon. but he statement was authorized
that the governor appreciates highly the
invitation extended 10 him and Miss
Drake % do the honors on the occasion
OF the launching Of the Iowa and has no
suggestions 20 make - regard % the
methods.
Ex-Governor Buren, r. Sherman. who
was chief executive when prohibition
was adopted, was az the capitol this af-
ternoon. and said IN regard % the oues-
tion whether wine or water should be
used az The launching:
- believe IN 10 instance has Ire Gus
tom Of breaking 4 bottle OF champaign
over the Sow OF the ship as Z is launch
ed been changed and I think there IS
no necessity Of any change On this coca

Lieutenant Governor Parrot said: 81

custom. Il is simply a matter u form

TO PREVENT GOLD EXPORTS
Treasury Department Raises the Premium
Gold Bars.

Washington, D. c., March 26.-The
treasury department today instructed
the New York sub-treasury to raise the
premium on gold bars Il OF 1 per cent.
The departments purpose in the issu-
arce of the order is to do what can be
done legitimately to prevent future ex>
ports of gold.
The order has a triple purpose. First
it will tend to raise the price at which
gold can be operated ppofitably, the
price of exchange now being danger
ously near the export point Second,
it is regarded as good policy to get rid OF
coin instead of bars, because the former
have frequently lost weight through
abrasion, and: Third, Il is intended TO
meet the action Of the Bank Of England
in raising the price of gold bars to
shillings, 10 pence and thus practically
lowering the rate Of exchange at which
gold can be shipped from the United
States TO Great Britain to about 1881 to
1881.
The Evening Post supplements the
foreign dispatch with the following:
at the price at which the bars could
be taken up today there was small
profit possible in shipping at the pres
ent rate of sterling exchange and the
increase IN the price offered in London,
pounds sterling 317.1o per ounces) for
American gold bars. That increase was
one penny per ounce. Foreign bank
ers, Il is said, advised the government
to this effect. instead of taking advan-
tage of the opportunity to make small
profit on shipping the gold. The pres
ent condition of affairs in sterling ex-
change is due TO the fact that a large
amount Of European gold that was Dor
roWed for sixty days for the purpose
of paying for the new government bonds
has TO be repaid. If sterling exchange
could be procured below the gold ship
ping point, with which to pay for that
gold, the gold would not be shipped.
The decreasing demand, however, for
"calr' money having brought about
decline in the rate at which money can
be so employed. there Is on inducement
for European capitalists to allw their
money TO remain here, an so IL has TO be
returned 10 Europe.
I'm the mea ntfme. owing to the stagna
ton in trade and the inability of manu-
facturers and merchants to dispose OF
their products. first-class single-name
commercial paper cannot be sold for
much less than per cent, and time
loans are only made at high rates. 1t
was though; today that in order TO
strengthen the call money market, the
government would call in some more
or the money IN the special depository
banks. Twenty per cent was called
last week, the amount paid being about
"a, 500. 900. The special depository banks
hold about s22, 900 900. Another call OF
20 per cent would, therefore, reduce the
Associated banks surplus reserve to. IN
round figures, about l5,000,0 900. But
so far as could be learned today the
special depository banks had not re-
ceived a call for another payment, and
some of them said they would be sur
prised If they received a call this week !"

NEW YORK LAWYERS PLAN
What They Propose and Advote for Inter
national Arbitration.


New York, March 26.-The committee
on international arbitration OF the New
York State Bar association held meet
ing today. Correspondence has already
been had with officers OF all the state
bar associations and II is expected that
they will cooperate with the New York
State Bar asSociat ton in the scheme.
Soon after converting the committee
went into executive session. All the
members of the committee were present
except Mr.. Depew. When an adjourn
ment was taken subject TO the call OF the
chair, Secretary Smith said that the
sub-committe. consisting of W. 5. Logan
and W. Martin Jones, had presented a
plan for international arbitration but
that it had not been adopted and prob
ably would not be until several more
meetings had been held and all the de-
tails discussed and fully considered.
Before the formal adoption Of the plan
It will be submitted to President Cleve-
land in a memorial, but this will not
be done until a general meeting has
been held of all arbitration committees
representing all the state bar asSoc.a-
tons of the country. Some OF the asso-
Citations which have coreSponded with
the New York association and signified
their intention TO appoint arbitration
committees TO act in harmony with the
New York committee are the state as

than there could have been had been
present at the marriage in Cana, IN
my carrying the wine to the guests
am in no way whatever in favor OF
drinking wine, but this is time-honor-
ed custom and / see no reason for
change There are established Gus
toms which are recognized among the
proprieties, and reason as we may We
cannot destroy such customs except
through gradual transitional process"
Senator Cheshire said il was matter
that the parties in charge should decide,
and their decision should be final. He
saw no reason far a change in the eStab-
lished custom
Senator Junkin said: "If it is done TO
appease the wrath Of the god OF waters
ii is all right. 1t is better, anyway, to
pour The sparkling wine into the waves
than down the threats of mankind"
Senator Bell (of Curfew Bell fame)
said: 81 should prefer that water be
used on that occasion 1 do not wish 10
reflect upon any one, but 1 think that
water would be more appropriate as
representing the state OF Iowa.
Senator Hobart said il was the custom
and he saw no necessity for q, change.
II can't imagine" he said, how Il
! should cut any figure with the great
cause of temperance whether wine or
water was spilled upon the bow or the
| Iowa"
Other opinions were expressed as fol-
/ lows:
Senator Harper-I see no reason why
| the custom should not be adhered 10.
| Senator Mitchell-Though 1 am pro-
/ hibftionist i am not crank( but have
not given the matter enough considera-
/ ton to form any opinion.
| Senator Kilburn-It makes no differ
ence TO me whether they pour wine or
rum into the sea Either rs all right 1
/ know some have feeling on the subject,
! but for me the more Of that stuff they
pour into the water the better.
Speaker Byers-My impression is that
/ If any kick is going to be made over the
matter they had better make 1t half and
1 half, water and wine.
! Representative Davis-I should think
that good prohibitionists would be glad
| to see the wine spilled into the sea.
But seriously 1 don't think that the
! esta blished custom should be changed.
| If there should be any attempt on the
part Of Iowa folks TO do SO ii would be
| In my opinion advertising US as state
] of cranks.
Representative Martini do not see
any reason for any departure from es-
| tablished methods IN this case.
Representative Early-I can't see any
reason why we should go down to Phil
adelphia and set UP our western ways
If we prefer water TO wine. 1 do not
think it would be proper for us TO try
to have the established customs chang
ed lust because it is the launching of a
boat that rs 10 bear the name of Iowa.

ASKS NOT CONSENT
FRANCE WOULD TERMINATE NADIA
GAsOAR TREATIES
British Commercial Interests Bring Pres
sure to Bear Upon tho Government for
the Purpose of Inducing Action to Pro-
tect British Interests, Now Threatened
by the Proposed Abrosation of Treaties
Made by Foreign Nations With the Ma
tive Governmont-Briton and Yankee in
the Same Boat,
the Same Boat.

London, March 26.-It has been learn
ed by the Associated Press that the
British chambers Of commerce are
bringing about pressure on the govern
ment for some action to protect Brit
ish interests in MAZDA gascar, in view of
the decision Of France TO terminate ex-
listing treaties made by Madagascar
with other powers without the leave OF
the powers concerned. 1t is suggested
that the government come to an agree
ment for an entente with the United
States and make joint representations
to France, in view Of the extent of Amer
lean interests, affected by the setting
aside of the American treaty with Mad
agaScar in 1881. The chambers of COM
merce have pointed out that France con-
tends that the French position in Mad
agascar is neither annexation nor a
protectorate, but something midway be-
tween those two, France taking over
the direction of foreign affairs. Thus,
the chambers argue that she is bound
TO assume all obligations, especially
those secured by treaty.
The government has not yet been
officially notified Of Frances action,
but the chambers of commerce have
been satisfied that the government will
not remain quiescent and there is a pos-
sibility of an entente with the United
States on this subject.
Paris, March 26,The government has
distributed a bill which it proposes TO
make q law, placing Madagascar with
in the opera ton of the French tariff.
