wyoming Cattle Question.
LONDON. July pa large and inhuen-
tisl deputation waited upon Baron Car
lingford, Lord of the Privy Seal, to-day,
and urged the immediate removal OF the
restrictions placed by the Privy Council
on the importation of cattle from Wyo-
ming. Earl Wharnclife, Baron Wenlock
and Lord Edward Csvendish, Cyril
Flower, Sir George Balfour, Albert Grey
and Charles Palmer, members of the
Commons, together with Moverton Frewer,
a delegate Of the Wyoming Stock Growers
Association, were present. The speakers
argued that cheap, healthy cattle were OBJ
tainsble through Canada and from the
country west of the Missouri river. They
declared that no cattle disease existed in
these regions, and the strictest precautions
were taken during the transportation of
the cattle through 30 seaboard, and as tine
seaboard. The cattle were nourished from
the second to the third year in Wyoming
at ~One-fourth what the cost would be in
England. They could be exported with

farmer and the British consumer. The bust
ness of fattening them for market would
prove a source OF great profit to the
farmers, and the consumer would pay less
for his beef.
Baron Carlingford replied for himself
and for Hon. George Dodson, Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster, that they real
lied the extreme interest and importance
of the statements made and the plea which
had been urged, and they would be slow
and careful in the consideration Of them.
He refrained from saying, however,
whether the importation OF the cattle in
terest in Great Britain from Wyoming
would be consistent with law. He thought
it would be necessary to consult Canada
before n steps would be taken.
Lord Henry Neville, Arthur Arnold,
John Fender, W. b. Beaumont, J. W.
Barclay, Robert Bruce aud Hon. James
Lowther, members of Parliament, were
also in the delegation.
Lord Wharncliffe asked that the third
clause in the Cattle Act be applied, and
that cattle should, in consequence, be sd-
mitted from Wyoming. He argued that
Wyoming had done everything in her
power to prevent infection, and there was
no possible reason why cattle from that
Territory, brought by the way of the great
lakes, should not be admitted in Great
Britain. ALI parties will be benefited if
this is lone.
Mr.. Frewer submitted evidence of the
absence Of disease among the cattle in the
West. II the proof he offered WAS INSULT
cient, he said be was willing to pay the ex-
pense of q commissioner to visit Wyoming
and ascertain all the facts at first hands.
wyoming. he declared, was willing to iso-
late herself from any Eastern State. Wyo-
ming has the test case. If she succeeded
in gaining her point other States would fol-
low her example. They all wanted to get
away from domination of the Chicago ring.
Mr.. Dodson said he was ready to welcome
cheap meat, dead or alive, if it only proved
perfectly safe. j. W.. Barclay, III. p,
stated that ct . public meeting in Forfsir.
shire, his constituency had declared in
favor OF the admission of American cattle.
Lord Wenlock, Albert Gray, NJ. p, and
Arthur Arnold, M. P. spoke in support Of
the deputation. Baron Carlingford gave
it as his opinion that the condition under
which the Privy Council might admit these
cattle formed a question, the consideration
OF which was beset With numerous diff
culties.
