exceptions, all the doctors mentioned by

Philippine ArIthmetics Seized.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9--The repre-
sentative of Il book publishing house
called on Assistant Secretary Taylor
at the treasury department to ask for
relief from the seizure of several thou
sand arithmetics by the secret service.
These arithmetics were printed for use
in the schools Of the Philippines apd
contained pictures Of American coins.
As any fac-simile of an American obli-
CATION is in violation Of the counterfeit
ing laws the arithmetic was suppress
ed. The publishers contend that a
wrong has been DONE as the pictures
were educational to the Filipinos and
necessary to the information of the
children in the schools. The question
will be taken up by Secretary Gage on
his return to Washington, about the
18th Of the present month.

reason of the great height of the mast
the yacht will either have to sail
around Long Island in the spring to get
into the sound or fit out at City Island,
for the spar is far too long to 90 under
the Brooklyn bridge at any stage of
