WASHINGTON. oct, 27.-Assistant
Secretary spaulding has issued cir

customs amending the former rulings
OF the department so as to permit the
entry without detention, under the act
OF December 20, 1857, Of sealskln gar
merits Worn by persons temporarily Wis
iting the United States from Canada.
Under the new ruling, persons ar
riving from Canada with furskln gar
ments who declare their intention Of
returning within 30 days will be re-
qulred to execute an affidavit to that
effect before a United States consul
Under the act OF 1897, the importa-
tion of sealskin garments is prohibited
unless accompanied by an invoice GER
titled by United States consul to the
effect that the skins were not taken
from seals in prohibited waters,
1t is said that the strict enforcement
of these regulations has resulted in
great annoyance to Canadians coming
across the border TO attend social func-
tions and intending to return the same
way as well as to the travelling pub
lie generally; hence the modification.
