TURKEYS CUSTOMS LAWS.
DETERMINATIONS Against Imports of
American Flour and Pork.

American Flour and Pork.
The report from Constantinople that the
Turkish Government is imposing onerous
restrictions on the importation Of Ameri-
can -four and pork is not surprising to The
authorities here. The -four matter has been
the subject OF contention between Turkey
and the United States for some time. but
it has not been OF such a character as 10
cause any great strain in the relations
Of the two Governments, and the officials
say that the current report does not en-
tain anything new.
The Turkish customs regulations In re-
gard 10 the tests Of -four are so worded as
TO permit the rejection OF a cargo OF the
article for reasons which are covered up by
a confusing citation Of the regulat ons.
Flour which has stood the American tests
is sometimes rejected by the Turkish ON
cisls for reasons that this Government has
never been able TO fathom. Whenever 1t
suits the convenience Of Turkey to do so,
the regulations are applied strictly or with
laXity.
AS 10 the pork restrictions. that matter
Is OF no pecuniary importance as accord
ing 10 the statement OF the Secretary Of
Agriculture, only SO worth OF pork was
exported to Turkey last year The United
States Government objected TO the restric-
tions. however, on principle and lodged a
protest recently with the Porte.

The trustees Of the CorcoTan Gallery of
Art, always the stanch and encouraging
friends Of the earnest element here. have
rendered the greatest possible service to
artists and public alike by establishing a
place for transient exhibitions.
The Hemicycle Gallery is at last fact.
The inaugural exhibition, composed Of
paintings and sculpture by local artists
only, has opened its doors. Everybody is
surprised at the great show Of talent and
the vast amount Of good work gathered
there. 1t is altogether a revelation. and
Mrs. Henderson's triumph is complete.
1t is only possible in this first review to
call attention to some of the more i'm
portant contributions which give distinc-
tion to the exhibition and are sure to ex-
tend the fame of the Washington School. -
Dunbar's three portrait busts in the cen
ire Of the gallery honor both the exhibit
ton and himself. Macdonald, Troubetskoy,
and Floyd to mention them in the order
of their arrival in Washington, are the
three leading portrait painters. Trou-
betskoy occupies the place Of honor with
several recent portraits which do great
credit to his ability and mark him as
portrait painter of rank. Not Chase or
Beckwith would have more ably filled the
space. nor would Sargent, whom Trou-
betskoys spirited technique resembles,
have done some Of these things more sim
ply or conspicuously better. That Of Mr..
Richardson is a superb picture, possess
ing Rembrantesque qualities, which are
very rare in modern portraits.
Floyds portraits, near by, are very In

pretations in which the artistic qualities
are well sustained
