CLOSE RESTRICTIONS

Placed Upon the Import of American
sheep to England-Must be Killed at

be Fattened and Killed in Competition
with The Native Stock-Dr. salmon
Talks About the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-OGicials Of
the department of agriculture Learned
upon the London cablegramS hat the
British government has finally an
nounced an order, to take effect ON the
first of January next, ~forbidding the
importation of sheep from the United
States and Canada unless the animals
are slaughtered at their port of land
ing. This action was foreshad-
owed some months q in a
report from the special agent of
the department in England, and
since DR.. Salmon, chief of the
bureau of animal industry, has been
energetically but unsuccessfully en-
%deavoring to devise some means of
treating the sheep exported to Great
Britain sc that a substantial guarantee
could be given that they We're not
afflicted with the scab. While it is
the fact that certain American sheep
imported into England have been in
fected with scab, that this IS given as
the reason for the issuance of the or
der quoted, a distinct impression pre-
walls that this is not the chief motive
upon which the British board of aGri-
culture has acted.
The principal difficulty, I take It."
said DIR. Salmon, lis hat American
sheep that have been fattened after
arrival in England develop into such
q superior quality of British mutton
that the native sheep had no chance
alongside of them, whereat the
British farmer naturally would COM
plain. Another thing is the tremendous
growth of the business. In the year
ended June so, 1894, exports of sheep
to England numbered about so, OO0;
last year they increased to $780,
900. Possibly if we were to
agree to restrict our shipments to say
5000 head, the British farmer and the
British government would take their
chances on the scab.
The ORDER" continued DIR. Salmon,
places u sheep on the same basis as
our cattle, which must be slaughtered
at the port of entry. 1t is 4 police reg
ulation which every country may en-
force to protect the health of its in
habitants ana the condition of its live
stock, and | suppose we will have t.
accustOm ourselves to it"

Rumors of peace were current IN
Madrid on the 18th and 18th Of t:is
month. They rested on statements
that negotiations for peace had been
entered upon with the rebels. The

an energetic denial that any such ne

1t is said that the government will
agree TO peace on the request OF the
rebels, and only when they have been
thoroughly disciplined.
The liberals do not approve of such
a course. They think that when the
rebels ask for Il suspension Of HOSTILE
ties the request shculd be acted on at
once.

STARS AND STRIPES.

A Rod Hot Fight In Defense of Did CORY
by American Students in Canada-Ont
Hundred and Fifty Boys Participated
In the Battle, which Ragged for Twenty
Minutes, and Resulted III Much Blood.
shed. =
ToEoyTO, Ont, Nov. a.-The Stars
and Stripes caused a mimic war here
yesterday, and its defenders came out
winners.
1T the Ontario Veterinary college a
number of American students. headed
by Il New York boy named Shaw, pro.
duced an American flag and hoisted it
in the main assembly hall in honor of
Thanksgiving day. A tall Canadian
named Lindsay seized it, tore it from
its fastenings and threw it on the floor.
In Il second Shaw sprang at him
and knocked him down. Lindsay was
up in a jiffy and he and Shaw clinched.
The American was thrown against a
desk and his face was badly cut. Then
the boys took sides and for twenty
minutes a bloody ana brutal scrim-
mage ragged. one OF the most exciting
features being around the black board
where i coupe of American boys were
trring to marx out Il flag with chalk.
Here W. W. Richards, 4 big Califor-
MAN. who claimed jim Corbett as a
pugiiistic mentor, and Ben .Agpew, a
Duriy fellow from Huron county Ont,
championed their respective nations,
while a few of the smaller fellows
looked on. When it was seen that
the Californian was being wOrsted
the Americans came to his res
cue. and the fight grew general
again. The boys fought in pairs and
squads all over the lecture room. and
blood flowed freely. The college au-
thorities finally quelled the riot with
considerable difficulty. Fully $50 boys
and young men were engaged, about
eighty of them being Americans.
