LONDON. May 1.-THE report OF the veterinary
department OF the prtvy council says: The
orders In council enjoning the slaughter OF
cattle. sheep and pigs from the United States
have been fully Justified In 1873 there was
imported from America 131 cattle affected with
pleuro- pneumonia, SS sheep with foot and
mouth disease. 81 sheep with scab, and 974
swine with fever. The number OF cattle in
fected with disease imported from the United
States largely exceed the whole number or
cases or disease detected among cattle i'm
ported in the same period from European coun-
tries.
The Times IN It's financial article this morning
says: The question OF the business management
OF the Inda Office continues 10 occupy the at
tention or many persons in the city. It IS
stated that In November last while the India
council was paying from "a TO IS shllings per
ton for conveying rails 10 India the Great In
dian Peninsula railway company was paying
only % ShillingS per ton. la other cases dis
crepancies OF shillngS per ton between the
charges in Government Central and those or
private companies are TOO numerous TO men,
uOn. A most vicious system seems to have pre-
vailed for years by which the government OF
India was compelled to pay the highest possible
price for everything. Few or the tasks OF the
Marquis OF Harrington, secretary OF state for
India, premise TO be more difficult than that OF
reforming the India Office. The subject VIII
likely come before parliament soon after the
opening.
