THE CATTtE CoMNtssiaI.
The Res,os. transmitted to the House
ny the Treasury Department.

WASHINGTON, January 9,-The Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury transmitted TO
the House the terprt CT the Cattle Com
mission, ccfis.sting of James Law, +. +.
Thtyer and j. Ill. Sanders, for the past
year. The commission recommend that
the national government prevent the ship
ment Eorthwsfd out of the area infected
with Texas fever all cattle whatso-
ever, excepting from the beginning
OF November to the beginning Of
March. Special attention Is Invited
by the Assistant Secretary to the recon-
mendation Ct the commission that the
Secretary OF the Treasury be empowered
to order the slaughter and eafe disposal
OF all imported hefas that may be ioGuu
injected on arrival in the United States. or
/ may develop dangerous contagious dis
ease during quarantine. That he be also
also empowered 10 have all run,inants
| tother than cattle) and all swine imported
| into the United Stairs subjected 10 insliec-
| ton by veterinary surgeons. ard IF neaes-
| ssf. 10 prevent the Siread OF contagious
! disease sfadghteAe: or submitted to quar-
I, antine until they shall be considered un-
/ injected; and that an appropriation OF
| So0O,0OO be made TO defray the expense of
| preventing the further spread of the lung
| plague among cattle in this country and
stamping out the plague now existing. A
supplemental repoitof the majority OF the
commission, signed by Law and Thayer,
OF later date ..inan the first report, is also
suh::ni1ted. This report deals especially
! with the ihadequacy OF the end sought to
| be accomplished by inspection at cattle
ports of export, aud recommends that
such. inspecticn and quarantine be de-
layed. Their reason for doubling the
adequacy OF inspection at ports of export
is that neither lung plaques nor Texas
| fever can be certainly detected by such
examination, because these diseases pass
through an average stage of Incubation
Thirty days, during which time it
is impossible for even the most
| accomplished expert to detect the presence
of the germ in the system. The result
would be that il such inspections were the
only thing relied upon, cattle which had
been exposed to infection i'll stock-yards
several DAYS before inspection would pass
that inspection, but three weeks later,
when arrived at foreign port, would
show marked symptoms of disease. This
result would destroy absolutely the eff
| ficiency of certificates of inspection IS
guarantees TO foreign importers of cattle
The report closes with the statement that
so long as infected districts in this coun-
try cannot be secluded, the landing OF
infected cattle in England from this
country cannot be prevented; and so long
as u american cattle show these diseases on
arrival in England we can hope for nc
modification of the present restrictions o.
that country against American cattle.

THE TARIFF.
Some Eacts and Figures from the Bu
rcau Of Statisffcs-

Some Facts and Figures from the Bu-
rcau of Statisffcs-
WASHINGTON, January 9.-Nimmo, chief
of the Bureau of Statistics, submitted to
the Secretary of the Treasury statement
in regard to the operation of the tariff act
OF March 3, 1883, as far as the same can be
shown from the available data at the pres
ent time. 1t appears that the reduction OF
the average dd rdIorsn rate of duty on
dutiable goods for the quarter ended Sep
tember 4, 1883, compared with the corre-
spending period in lSs2, was only two per
cent. Making due allowance for the
changes in the law with respect to valua-
tons OF castings and coverings, the reduc-
tion of the average dd rdlorem rate of duty
on sugar was only 2.1 per cent. for the quar-
ter ended September S0th, and somewhat
less for the months Of October and Novem-
Der. The reduction OF the average dd rGio-
rem rate on clothing WOOL was 81 per cent. ;
combing wool, rs per cent; car
pet wool, 2.46 per cent. Nimmo
says these reductions are very much
less than expected either by the friends or
opponents of the new law. He adds,
however, that the results ascertained thus
tar are to some extent vitiated by the ex-
cessive importation prior TO June 30th OF
goods upon which duties were increased,
and the postponement OF impoitations OF
goods upon which the duties were de-
creased by the new law, and TO some ex-
tent probably by the increase of rates
actually laid upon sugars in consequence
of the more accurate sscertainment under
the new law than the old of the quality
of sugar in respect TO saccharine strength.

Philadelphia and Long Branch railroad a
mile below Manalapan was washed
away, stopping travel. Coney Island suf-
fered terribly. The residents were up all
night, dreading that a tidal-wave might
submerge the place. The water flooded
the meadow. Loss between S500,000 and

road between Manhattan and Brighton
Beach is almost entirely destroyed. Gull

end and upwards of 100 feet carried away
