Ruling Causes CONSERVATION Among
San Francisco Importers, Who
Sought to Anticipate New Law.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-Gloom
pervades the smoke dimmed opium
JOINTS of the Chinese quarter because of
ruling received by Collector of the Port
Strattcn from Washington. The govern
ment has prohibited the Importation OF
opium of anything less than medicinal
purity after April /. That was bad
enough, but the hustling importers rush
ed their orders to the orient and nearly
million dollars worth of the drug was
landed here a few days ago and safely
stored in the custom house and bonded
warehouses in time, it was supposed. TO
evade the new regulations. Now the au-
thorities at Washington have instructed
Collector Stratton not to allow any opium
to leave his possession on or after April
/. and the vast heap of material for
pipe dreams is doomed to go un-
smoked.
The government authorities further de-
clare that a careful reading OF the pure
food and drug act makes il possible for
federal officers to seize and confiscate
any opium found after April 1. whether
marked duty paid or not. II this rul
ing is enforced the opium importers of
San Francisco stand to lose a large sum.
as within the last two days alone nearly
500 GOO worth has been drawn from the
customs house on payment of duty.
1t is estimated that opium valued at be-
tween 81, 900. 600 and S1,500.000 is now In
and near the city.

The Turkish Marriage.
From Eyerybody's.


In Turkey marriage is strictly civil
act. the validity of which consists in its
being attested by at least two witnesses;
and although an imam, or priest. is
usually present at the signing of the con-
tract, it is in his legal rather than in
his religious capacity. The civil ceremony
is simplicity itself. The bridegroom and
his witnesses repair to the home CT the
bride in the selamlik of which her male
relatives discuss with them the payment
of the nekiah. This question settled. and
the contract drawn up. the bridegroom
thrice repeats his desire to marry the
daughter of the house. upon which the
imam proceeds to the door communicate
ing with the haremlik, behind which the
bride and her female relatives are as
sembled. After announcing the amount
of the nekiah agreed upon. the imam
asks the maiden il she accepts the sutton
for her husband. The question and, the
Affirmative answer having been thrice re-
peated, the imam returns to the selamlik
where he attests the consent of the bride
and the couple are considered to be legal
ly married.
The bride and groom do not meet, how
ever, until the conclusion of the dughun
ziafeti, or week of wedding festivities.

EXPLOSIVES ON CARS.
Col. Taylor Lectures on Safety
Methods of Transportation.

An interesting and we'll attended lecture
on the modern methods by which the
railroads Of the country transport the
quantities Of dangerous explosives for
the government and for private concerns
was given last evening in the rooms of
the Terminal Y. NJ. C. A. in the Union
station by Col. j. l.. Taylor of the Amer
lean Railways Association.
Illustrating his remarks with lantern
pictures, the speaker explained that the
bureau of the association. which provides
for the safe transportation of explosives
and other dangerous articles, arranges
what are called certified cars for the
purpose. These cars have to be examined
by car experts and proven to be per-
fectly and evenly constructed, without ex-
plOsive metals in their construction and
arranged to travel with the least possible
jar.
Col. Taylor went at length into the work
of the railways association, of which all
the railroads of the country are members.
Many improvements and innovations for
the transportation of passengers and
freight have been brought about through
its agency. An effort is now being made.
he said. toward the general adoption of
a standard time for the entire country.

INDIGNATION MEETING HELD
Shippers Call on Minister Cruppi and
Then Assemble to Discuss
American Discrimination.
INDIGNATION MEETING HELD

| PARIS. March 31-A delegation o
French merchants engaged in the expor
business to the United States, headed by
| Andre Sayers. called upon Minister OF
Commerce Cruppi today and demanded
| that the government take immediate
steps to parry the injury that the Payne
tariff revision bill threatens to infiic1
upon the export trade of France.
The delegation declared that minute
examination of this bill had caused a
| veritable panic among exporters. The
duties to be collected upon gloves, feath-
ers and perfumes three articles produced
particularly in France had been raised
and no special arrangement with regard
to wines was possible.
Frances Hands Tied.
If France reduced her minimum rates.
manifestly impossible under such condi-
tions the United States would be COM
PEELED to apply supplementary duties OF
from 20 to 40 per cent
The delegation said also that the pro-
posal to impose ad valorem rates on
goods consigned to America would para
lyze certain sections of the export trade.
and insisted that the government take
immediate action.
NJ. Cruppi received the delegation cor
daily. He made no promises.
Representatives of export houses held
meeting after the conference with NJ.
Cruppi. The question Of alleged Ameri-
can discrimination was discussed.
NJ. Bergeotte, an exporter. declared that
q general boycott against French produc-
lions was threatened in the United States,
giving as an example a case where Amer
lean workmen refused to erect in place
some iron work forged in France that had
been ordered from Paris for the residence
Of an American millionaire.
Boycott Threatened.
When French workmen were sent to
perform this labor the American work
men notified the architect that unless the
Frenchmen were withdrawn they would
declare boycott. More recently, accord
ing to this speaker. sixteen French ex-
porting houses that sent samples to San
Francisco met with complete boycott.
Hughes lie RouX, the French author, who
visited the United States recently, was
among those present. He made an ad-
dress in which he attributed much of the
hostility to France in the United States to
the influence of Irish and German immi-
grants. He cited the case of the girl stu
dents Of California University who pro-
tested against the works Of Dumas on the
ground of their immortality.
He said the unfortunate part OF the sit
uation was that the Washington govern
ment was poWerless to cCerce the individ-
ual states of the Union.

Bicycle Policemen to Concentrate
Their Energies Against Violators.

Police officials are still considering the
advisability of taking more active meas
ures in order to capture reckless drivers
and chauffeurs who are causing SO much
complaint. Maj. Sylvester says he will
probably have bicycle policemen concen-
trate their efforts, members from the sew
eral precincts spending a day in one pre-
cinct at a time. believing such action will
serve as a warning to violators of law.
Yesterday an order was issued to the
members of the department to enforce the
law requiring drivers to be upon the seats
of their vehicles or at the head of their
teams when their vehicles are in motion.
The law requires that drivers shall guard
against the running away of their teams.
