CLAY on THE CATTLE PLAGUE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ijth.-Minister CLAY
has addressed a letter TO the Secretary of state.
dated It. Petersburg, Oct. eth. in which he
SAYS: | deem ii my duty to warn the United
States against the importation of the cattle
plague into our country. Being farmer, and
feeling great interest in such subjects have
read upon the subject that which is acceptable,
aud Will give YOU only the result of nv con-
illusions and observations. The cattle plague
is the Russian cattle pest. In this country il
i always more or less prevalent. and generally
kills whole herds. Like cholera. il is both
contagious and infectious. BY these terms |
mean to say, it is communicated from one ami
nal 10 another by the physical imposition of
the virus upon any animal from any object
containing the virus, aud also that the virus
may be carried in animalcules i'm the air and
thus produce the disease.
1t evidently did not originate in England
but was carried there by ship load.of cattle
from the Russian Baltic ports. If this theory
i correct then all importation of cattle from
abroad should be at once prohibited by Con-
gress If not otherwise possible TO be prevented.
IL would pay well 10 call Congress together for
that purpose only. No ship having cow or
sheep or any animal from Europe or countries
having the pest. should be allowed To land i'm
America without sufficient quarantine Every
disease must at some time have originated from
a violent disregard Of natural laws. and this As
well n others. But | am Of the opinion that
there i nothing in the management Of cattle in
Great Britain or America 70 generate the dis
ease. 30, also. no sanitary precaution can ar
rest il short Of absolute non-intercOurse.
| believe II 10 be species Of bloody murrian.
aggravated by the marshy nature Of Northern
Russia. and the utter disregard Of all the laws
Of health which i shown bv man and beast.
especially in regard 70 ventilation and cleanli-
ness, which prevails in these cold climates
where great eXpediencv 10 heal i, needed and
fuel and food, are some Of the causes which
are producing the aggravated tvphus fever
here which i called, outside Of Russia the
Plague. England was warned long since Of
the danger Of direct importation of cattle from
Russia. but failed TO heed the advice | trust
