trades of America. and one of the ablest
special journals in the country. which at
first opposed the Mckinley bill because it
feared it would advance building material,

the carrying of steerage passengers by the

needed. The statements masie by the agents

Freedom from pIeuro. Pneumonia.

Hon. J VI. Rusk Secretary of Agricul-
turc. issued a proclamation yesterday re-
moving the guarantees heretofore existing
IN the counties of Kings and Queens, New
York. and Ia. counties of Essex and liud-
aon, New Jersey, for the suppression of
contagiou. pieuro-pneumonia among cattle,
and declaring the nitcd States free from
this disease.
This official proclamation by the Sec
rotary of Agriculture of the freedom of
the nited States from the disease known
"a contagious pleuro- pneumonia has been
DELAYED until six full months from the oc-
currence of the last case. on which occasion
the animal found diseased as well rs all
others with which it had been in contact
were at once purchased and slaughtered,
the premises being quarantined to all cattle
from that date to the present time. Al
though in many cases four months is re-
garded as sufficient, his extension of the
period of complete immunity from four to
Siy months was adopted 80 as
to satisfy the most conservative and
apprehcnsive that the grounds for the
present proclamation were ample and ts
issue and the raising of quarantine in the
the United States for this disease thorough
" justified hv the facts. The inspection
.ystem adopted by the department has been
maintained in full force and ct'iclrary in
those districts heretofore infected during
that period. The .rahJard and frontier in
spection and all necessary cat'l" quarantine
will be strictly enforced and there being no
possibility of the occurrence of contagious
pleuro- pneumonia save by the introduction
from foreign countries the country may
congratulate itself upon the removal of all
apprehension for its cattle interests on the
score of contagious rleuro. pneumonia.
