London, "a large and infuen-
tial deputation waited upon Baron
CsrlingfoTd, lord of the privy seal,
to day, and urged the immediate
removal of the restrictions placed by
the Privy Council on the importas
ton Of cattle from Wyoming. Earl
Warncliffe, Baron Wenlock, Lord
Edward Csvendish, Cyril Flower,
Sir George Ba'four, Albert Gray
and Charles Palmer, members Of
the Commons, together with More
ton FreWen, delegate Of the WyomS
ing Stock Growers Association,
were present. The speakers urged
that cheap healthy cattle were Oh
tainable through Canada and from
the country west of the Missouri
river. They declared that no
cattle disease existed in these
regions, and the strictest pre-
cautions were taken during the
transportation of cattle through
to the seabOard and at the seaboard.
The cattle were nourished from the
second to the third year in Wyo~
ming at one-fourth what the cost
would be in England. They could
be exported with very great advan-
tage to both the British farmer and
the British consumer. The business
of fattening them Tor the market
would prove great source of profit
to farmers, and the consumer would
pay less for his beef.
Baron Carlingford replied for him
self and for Hon. Geo. Dodson chan
cellor of the Duchy of L ncaster.
He said they realized the extreme
interest and Importance of the state
ments made and the plea which had
been urged, and they would bestow
careful consideration upon them.
He refrained from saying, however.
whether the importation Of cattle
into Great Britain from Wyoming
would be consistent with law. He
Thoughts it would be necessary to
consult Canada before any steps
could be taken.
Lord Henry Neville and
Arthur Arnold, John Fender, W. 3.
Beaumont, j. w. Barclay, Robert
Bruce and Hon. James LoWther,
members of Parliament, we're also
IN the delegation. Lord Warleliffe
asked that the third clause of the
cattle act be applied, and cattld
could in consequesce be admitted
from Wyoming. He argued that
Wyoming had done everything in
her power to prevent inf, ction.
There was no possible reason why
cattle from that territory, brought
by way of the great lakes, should
not be admitted in Great Britain.
All parties would be benefited If
this were done. Mr.. Frewen sub
mitted-evidence of the absence of
disease among the cattle of the
vest. II the proof he
offered was insufficient, he said he
was willing to pay the expense of
the commission to visit Wyoming
and ascertain all the facts at first
hand. Wyoming, he declared, was
willing to isolate herself from any
eastern, state. Wyoming WAS a test
case. If.Ghe succeeded in gaining
her point, the others states would
follow her example. They all
wanted tosget away from the domi-
nation Of che Chicago ring. Mr..
DodSon said he was ready to well
come cheap meat, dead or alive, if
it only proved perfectly cafe. j..
w. Barclay, M. P. stated that puo@
dc meetings Gin Farfarshire this
eonstiteencyl had declared in favor
of'the admission of American cat
tie. Lord Wenloek, Albert Gray,
n. z. and Arthur Arnold, M. P.
spokein support of the deputatiop.
Baron Carlingford gave it rs his
opinion that the condition under
which tho privy council might adj
NIT those cattle, formed question
the confederation of which was be-
set with numerous difficulties.
