GUARDING OUR CATTLE AGAINST ENGLISH CATTLE
DISEASE.
The Cabinet also discussed the condition of
our cattle trade with England. and the restric-
tions thereon. 1t appears that cargo of Eng
lIsh cattle is now In quarantine at New York
among which eurO-pneumonta exists There
is more of this disease now in England than in
this country, and it is Of great Importance that
no cattle be allowed to be imported to the
L. among which the disease is found. A
law passed in 1866 gives the Secretary of the
Treasury power to prevent such Importation
1t will be enforced for the protection Of cattle
in this country.
