ter general Of Canada, Postmaster Cen
eral Wanamaker says that the Louisi-
ana Lottery company has established an
agency at Toronto and is flooding the
United States with it's circulars, in sealed
envelopes, from that po.nt. AS all lot
terry tickets and lottery circulars are
held to be liable to custom duties, post
masters at United States exchange Off
ces have been instructed to place upon
mail matter which they believe to con-
tain duitable articles: Supposed liza
BILE to custom duty" At the Office of
destination such matter is opened by
the addresses in the presence of the
customs officer, and if found to contain
lottery matter it is forfeited to the
United States. Postmaster General
has asked the Canadian
postmaster general if it would be proper
to instruct the post master at Toronto to
30 stamp the letters mailed there by the
agent of the lottery company. If that
course is pursued postmasters at United
States exchange offices, he says, will
make a similar endorsement on behalf
Of this country.
