Still Uncertainty. Particularly, it was asserted, the customs service wishes to know how it shall regard liquor in the bars of foreign passenger liners which has hitherto been' considered ns "seastores," also what attitude to adopt in connection with liquors carried by a foreign ship for the use of its crew only, and how the law applies to a foreign ship which merely enters an American harbor to coal and does not make an entry with the custom house.
