was receiving encouraging reports of
progress from j. Ii. Sanders. his special
agent in Great Britain, relative to the
removal of British restrictions upon the
importation of American live stock. In

Gently placed upon shipment of Cana
dian cattle to Scotland. The secretary
SAID that this English account of the in

tended. namely. the difficult If
depending absolutely upon single
diagnosis in order to determine whether
symptoms of disease indicate the con-

secretary concluded to adopt the pres

Said that he thought the action of the
British authorities in the Dundee case
Justified the inference that the restric-
lions imposed and maintained on Amer

are due less to any spirit of unfrendli-

The secretary feels highly encouraged
at the present state of his efforts to re-
move restrictions upon American cattle.
