Circular Order Issued by Assistant
Secretary Spalding.

Secretary SpalO1nE.
The attention of the Treasury Depart
ment has been called to the fact that in
stances have occurred where tea samples
sent from ports of importation to ports
where tea examiners are stationed for the
purposes of examination under the act of
March, 1897, have been packed in boxes
which formerly contained matches. rub
ber bands, confectionery, etc, thus affect
ing the flavor of the tea and jeopardizing
a fair and correct test of the same.
With a view of correcting this practice,
Assistant Secretary Spalding of the Treas
ury Department has issued a circular let
ter of instructions to customs officers,
directing that hereafter all such samples
shall be packed in perfectly clean, new tin
cans, cylindrical in shape, two and one
half inches deep, three inches in diameter,
of a capacity of four ounces, with tight
slip covers, properly labeled, and accom-
panied in each instance with an extract
from the invoice giving marks and num-
bers of packages, invoice, number name of
consignee, name of importing vessel, date of
Importation, etc. The exp. nse of procur-
ing tin cans of this description will be paid
from the appropriation for defraying the
expenses of collecting the revenue from
customs.
