WHYRRAs, It is an accepted t..l
that the passage OF apparently
healthy cattle from the ooass country
and low lands communicate a d.56aae
called splenotio or Spanish fevac 90
cattle OF higher attitudes and;
WHEREAS, Another fsct Ia connection
with this disease is that cattle coming
from lower attitudes, after having been
kept for limited time III higher slu.
tndes, do not communicate tsoir dis
case; and
WHEREAS, This injection has proved
vary disastrous TO herds and cattioio
those more elevated regions, ana
has cau.ed such apprehension
in those hections that guarantee
and other restrictive regulations have
been adopted in several OF tho Westeen
States snd Territories prohiDiung me
q nattla n fh1ip b. Il
markets; and
wHEpEAs, These regulations sre
not uniform, In some OF Jpe States and
Territories being virtually an inter-
diction upon interstate commorcJ,
In others taxes being interpss5e;
Your committee are Of the opinion
That these conflicting regulations,
some of them arbitrary and dun
cult, If not impraetioeble, to be
complied with, will, IL peralnted in,
prove disastrous TO tho cnt.lo interests
OF the entire country and viii greatly
diminish tho values OF cattle in esrtsin
localities and augment the profits in
Others by disturbing tho natural
laws OF trade and obstructing
its avenues, monopolies boing built up
at the expense OF tho consumer. In
view OF these facts, your committee
would most respectfully recommend
that this convention request Congress
to paBs such laws as will place the
whole subject-mattor under the control
and jurisdiction Of the general govern
ment, giving authority. 70 Establish
such quarantine regulations with
proper boundaries and limits and to
get apert from lands belonging
to the United States such quarantine
grounds as shall be ample protection
end best promote end subserve the
cattle interest OF the entire country.
The Grst resolution was adopted
Without opposition, put the seaon d
provoked very animated and OF
times, heated debate. General Curtis
favored it and indirectly condemned
the bureau Of animal industry.
DIR. Salmon, chief of tho bureau, was
called out. he said he had been asked
to answer tho speeches. made against
his bureau yesterday. he had
prepared an answer which covered the
GROUND under discussion, aud would
only gay now that tho passage Of the
resolution would put the whole mat
ter back to where IL was five years ago
Moore, of Colorado, urged the con
yention to atand by the bureau OF an
innal industry. The passage OF the res
olution, he said would BIO e slap in the
face of congress.
Hancock, OF Texas, followed in q
spsech which was severe on horso
and cow dectors, end tho Hgitation
Of the question OF Dl0uro-pneum oDi9,
as he thought there was no sIch
disen9e in the West. He thought that
the matter should be taken OUT Of ths
banda of tho veterinarians and given
to practical men. He favored tho res
olution.
General Brisbin moved the reso,u-
ton be tabled.
The motion was lost.
KynSrsen, Of New York, offered the
following as substitute:
Resolved, That this convention re-
spscttully ask Congress to tako such
action az will efectually stamp out the
disease of pleuro-pneumonia and other
to or exist among the cattle of the
United States.
This was ruled out Of order by the
but it was afterwards
placed before the convention. a dele
gate from Mexico thought the conven-
ton shoutd not act upon tho matter
until they heard from the bareau OF
animal industry.
Hubbell, from New Mexico, urged
that a careful consideration of The
matter was necessary, and moved that
the resolution and the substitute be
made special order for l0:30 o'clock
tomorrow.
Ex-Governor Routt said that he was
neither doctor nor crank the matter
was question between body Of five
commissioners and the bureau of anil
NAL industry. He suggested that the
should remember that
cranks might pe appointed on the
az we'll as on The bureau.
The question was put TO the convon-
ton, and on O vote the confederation
of the pleuro- pneumonia matter was
made q special order for 1880 O'Clock
The Spanish fever resolu-
ton was also laid over till tomorrow.
a moEion to adjourn was withdrawn
to allow David ". Wood, OF Illinois, to
read papsr on the improvement in
horse breeding and its relation to the
country's progress.
The president appointed Elmer
