Plumb said if he could have his
own way these foreigners would not
own cattle, land or any hing in ths
northwest, but the quantity of cat
tie owned by such corporations is an
exceeding small part of the cattle
Interests of the country. He de-
Tended the provisions OF the bill but
said he had proposed an amendment
which would to some extent remove
the objections of the Senator from
Alabama. This amendment was
stricken out altogether in reference
to the Strengthening of animals.
Wilson sent to the desk and had
read letter to him from the Com~
missioner of Agriculture, in reply
to Wilson's inquiries, saying the
exclusion OF American cattle from
England, for at least one year,
will probably be immediately
decided On by Parliament.
It was understood that the cattle
men OF England were determined to
keep out American beef; the COM
missioner sdds: "rhere was never a
time when it wss more important to
ascertain the real condition Of
American cattle" Wilson said it
was an important fact that the Brit
ish government was taking positive
steps to exclude American beef. We
should therefore show a dete.mina-
tlOn 10 give our cattle a clear bill Of
health as they are exported.

Bayard thought tnat the purs
pose OF the bill would now be
fulfilled by the appropriation OF
$4,000 instead o. $4,000 allowed
by The House.
Plumb moved to make the aPprO>
priation $4,000.
Bayard's motion to reduce the ap-
preparation to $4,000 was disagreed
to, as was also the motion OF Brown
to make the amount 100000, snd
Plumb's amendment making the
amount $3.50. 900 was agreed TO.
On motion the Harris amendment
was ageed to combining the operations
