That vessels owned in districts adjacent TO the British
Sorth American Provinces, take oargoes on board in
pOrts destined for ports OF the nted STATES
on the sea board, and entering the waters OF the
United States proceed IN the hrst instance 70 tuen
home ports and there exchange their registers ior en-
rolments and licenses, under which they proceed 10
their ports of destination and claim to enter coastwse
1t is aso represented that in some instances they make
an entIy from foreign port when they exchange
their papers, but the cargo is not unlsden
or il spected but passes at once unuer
cosdwse manifesto TO the original port OF destination.
This practice ssys the Secretary OF the treasury
circular s clearly illegal, and must be discontinued.
Vessels from foreign ports must deliver ther cargoeS
nnder the inward maniiests presented oy law "hcn
show that they laden at foreign porte ana which
eneefy their ports of destination IN the United ates
They must complete their voyages 10 the ports OF des-

toms.
To prevent misapprehensiOn in future in regard to
the marine papers under which Voyages can be pur-
Yued in part by sea- from ports the northern, north
eastern. and northwestern frontiers OF the United
States il is deemed proper 10 state for the information
and government of Collectors and other officers OF tue

from tbe home ports on the lakes for European desti
nations or for porte in the United States on the sea-
board The papers under which they navigate the
lakes are not s obvious the proper documents for
vessels pursuing voy sges OF that description Recourse
must be had in such cases to the PROVISIONS OF me

February 1898 prescribing marine papers for vessels
