PRESERVE MURRE.
Lighthouse Board Issues
Restricting Decree.
No More Eggs to Be Taken From
FaralloneS-Fool Cuillemot
Becoming Extinct.

The Chronicle recently published an
interesting article on the passing OF
the murre or foolish guillemot. Until
within short time the markets and
curiosity stores of San Francisco were
filled with the many-hued eggs of this
bird, which made the Farallone ISL
ands its peculiar abiding place. The
eggs were cheap and rich, and were
much sought after by bakeries and
restaurants.
| The Chronicle says that at the soli-
! citation of the Committee on Bird
| Protection of the American Ornitholo-
gists' Union, of which Prof. Leverett
NJ. Loomis of the California Academy
of Sciences is a member, the Govern
ment officials have set the seal of their
displeasure on the importing of the
big pear-shaped eggs from the Faral-
| Iones The Lighthouse SBoard at
Washington, which has the affairs of
the Farallones in charge as a sort of
United States Government preserve,
has issued a decree that the traffic in
the eggs of the sea birds of the islands
must cease, as specified in the follow
ing order:
THE board directs that all egg and
bird business on the Farallone
Islands be prohibited in any form and
by any persons"
1t is further directed that this order
shall be carried out by the inspector of
the Twelfth Lighthouse District, San
Francisco, Cal, and by the keepers on
the Farallones.
The mandate of the Lighthouse
Board will bring to a close a unique
industry of this city. The eggs of the
murre. or foolish guillemot, have been
shipped to the markets of this city in
great quantities ever since 1S49, at
which date they were almost the only
fresh eggs to be had, bringing over 81
2 dozen. The birds were present in the
breeding season, from May until Au
gust. on the islands in such countless
thousands that, although persistently
robbed their numbers seemed to show
no appreciate diminution. OF recent
years. however. naturalists have no
ticed the effect of the annual persecu
ton of the vast colonies and have had
fears that they might in time become
extinct AS a result of the investiga-
ton the prohibitive measure has been
enacted.
AS high as 10000 dozen of the eggs
were annually brought TO market by
the Greek and Italian fishermen. They
are twice the size of an ordinary hens
egg. for which they are said to be an
excellent substitute, and they sold at
retail at from Is to % cents per dozen.
During the past four or five seasons the
Greeks have been driven off and the
egg industry has been carried on by
the Iightkeeper on the FaralloneS.

CITRUS FRUIT GROWERS.
Working TO Raise Tariff to Protect
California.

Working TO Raise Tariff to Protect
California.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The COM
mission of the Citrus FEuit Growers
Association, which came on to endeav-
product, met last night at the rooms
of Congressman McLachlan. A general
discussion of the conditions surround
! ing the situation ensued. In addition
Ito Messrs. Snow and Daniels, b. r. AL
len OF Los Angeles was present. Mr.
Snow, who was the first to arrive, had
taken charge of the work of the COM
mittee and had interviewed various
members of the Ways and Means Com
imittee. While the result has not been
entirely satisfactory, he was led to
the conclusion that another hearing
would be granted to the citrus fruit
men, and the general result of the
committee deliberations was a decision
that a new kind of schedule should be
submitted to the Ways and Means
Committee.
1t is now proposed that instead Of
a duty based on cubic feet, there shall
be a duty of l cent a pound imposed
on all varieties of citrus fruits. This
includes not only oranges and lemons,
which are now grown in Southern
California, but bread fruit, which has
become a factor in the trade of Flori-
Ga. Many members of the Ways and
Means Committee who had paid the
greatest attention to the argument of
Congressman Bowers, who was in
charge of affairs for the California
delegation, do not approve of the
movement in favor of a change in the
basis for the levying of tariff, as they
insist that they made a consistent fight
for the protection of these industries.
There is, however, such a feeling that
the House committee undoubtedly will
grant another hearing.

OHIO VALLEY GUNBoArs.
wheeling and Marietta TO be Launched
on st. Patricl<'s Day.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ia twin
baptism of war vessels at the Union
Iron Works on or about March II will
be the programme of an unusual naval
event to be witnessed by delegations
from West Virginia and Ohio, as well
as by crowds from this city. The
Wheeling and the Marietta are the
names TO be given to the two boats
as they glide from the ways into the
water at the same instant.
This is the first time that TWO war
vessels have ever been launched at the
same time on this coast. The vessels
are all but ready for the double christ
ening. and invitations have been sent
to the Eastern cities after which they
are named. Citizens of Wheeling and
of Marietta will send delegations to
participate in the ceremonies.
The two additions to the United
States navy are what are known as
twin-screw. light-draught, composite
gunboats. Their contract cost price is
S219. 900 and S223. 900 respectively, and
they are virtually sister ships. The
boats while perfectly seaworthy for
round the world cruises with the re-
marEaDlN large RADIUS Oh dCOlOH, are
peculiarly adapted for service on the
inland waters of the United States and
other countries, and by reason of their
comparatively moderate draught may
be expected to visit localities where
warships are practically unknown.
Both vessels are of the same dimen-
sions They are ia feet long on the
load water line. the beam extreme at
load water line is "a feet and the
draught normal 10 bottom of keel is
II feet The vessels are of 1000 tons
displacement The indicated horse
power must be 500. and the estimated
speed is II knots an hour. The coal
supply bunker capacity is 25O tons
The complement of officers, seamen
and marines is IA. The armament
consists of six four-inch. rapid-fire
guns. one forward and one aft of the
main deck. and two on each broadside
of the gun. There are also four six
Founders and four one-pounders, all
rapid fire.

Plan TO Attack MOnetafy COnfer-

CHICAGO, March 1.-The Posts
Washington special says: The free sill
yer Republican contingent held eau
Gus today, at which it was resolved to
assail the international monetary con-
ference bill when it comes up for
final approval. Senators Teller, Du-
bois, Canon, Pettigrew and associates
agreed to attack the bill on the ground
that it is an absolutely useless piece of
legislation, conceived in folly and to
be carried out in bad faith.
The position they take is that the
commission, if appointed, will make no
advancement to the advantage of sill
yer, and it will not be intended by the
body that it shall make progress in
that direction.

PROSPECT OF REDUC TIoN.
California Tax Levy May be Kept
Down.

Down.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 23.-At
the close of the present fiscal year
there will be a balance, it is estimated,
in the general fund of over $1,26S, 900,
unless special appropriations immedi-
ately available be passed during the
present session sufficient to exhaust
this fund This fact, it is claimed by
some, will tend to keep the tax levy
down to a figure much below 30 cents,
although it is also claimed that the
probability of a surplus is an encour-
agement to extravaganza that will re-
suit in excessive appropriations and a
tax levy of nearly go cents.
