a bureau, or chief of division in the Secretary's Office will be issued as circular letters. 3. Department circulars will be numbered consecutively, without reference to the year in which published; and when a circular is given a number that number will remain permanent with respect to that circular, regardless of how often the circular is revised or reprinted. 4. Modifications or amendments of department circulars will be made by revising and republishing the original circulars instead of issuing supplementary circulars bearing other numbers. In cases where it is deemed inadvisable to follow this procedure exceptions may be made, but only with the approval of the Secretary or assistant secretary. 5. In order that these rules may be strictly enforced and that there may be uniformity in the classification of circulars and circular letters, the manuscript of all proposed department circulars and all circular letters will be checked by the Chief Clerk of the department before they are issued. 6. The Division of Printing and Stationery will be held responsible for the proper numbering of all department circulars. 7. The Secretary will be furnished by the Chief Clerk with copies of all department circulars and circular letters immediately upon their issuance. W. G. MCADOO, Secretary. (T. D. 34614.)

To collectors and other officers of the customs: Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph F, section 3, of the tariff act of October 3, 1913, there has been prepared a list or enumeration of articles designated as Schedule E, classification of imported merchandise, and it has been declared by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce that this schedule contains the detail necessary to be given on goods imported into the United States, and that this information must be furnished upon entry of goods. Collectors of customs will therefore require that the information called for by the said Schedule E be given hereafter in the entry for all importations. (74263.) WM. P. MALBURN, Assistant Secretary. (T. D. 34615.) So-called wool felt. Woven jute fabric with a cattle-hair facing and backing, the felt being placed on the jute while in a dampened condition, dutiable as a cloth made in chief value of cattle hair at the rate of 25 per cent ad valorem under paragraph 288, tariff act of 1913. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July 6, 1914. SIR: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 26th ultimo relative to the proper classification of so-called wool felt similar to the sample submitted. It appears that the article in question is a woven jute fabric with a cattle-hair facing and backing, the felt being placed on the jute while in a dampened condition and pressed. It further appears that cattle hair is the component material of chief value. In the opinion of the department the merchandise in question, which has as its foundation a woven jute fabric, is not a felted fabric, and the department accordingly concurs in the views expressed by you that merchandise represented by the sample is properly dutiable as a cloth made in chief value of cattle hair at the rate of 25 per cent ad valorem under paragraph 288 of the present tariff act. As there is no provision in the tariff act for other manufactures of cattle hair, the department is further of the opinion that by virtue of the similitude clause in paragraph 386 of the tariff act, the cloth under consideration, if cut out and sewn to the shape of rooms, ready for laying down, would also be dutiable at the rate of 25 per cent ad valorem as cloth made in chief value of cattle hair under paragraph 288 of the tariff act. You will be governed accordingly. Respectfully, (94112.) COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS, New York. WM. P. MALBURN, (T. D. 34616.) Caustic potash.
