A Norfolk County Trucker Taken for

O'Clock Mr.. Wilkins thought he heard
some one around the house and took
his gun and went out in the yard in
search of them. The negro man saw
Mr.. wilkins. but thinking it was a
thief. he hailed him and receiving no

FOREIGN CATTLE
Must Come From Countries Free From Con-
tapiouS Disease


PARIS, May GA dispatch to the
Figaro from Havre says that consider
able excitement has been caused there
by the action of the American consul
in preventing the shipment of a cargo of
cattle destined to the GTited States.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The action
of the American consul in preventing
the shipment of cattle from Havre is
based on the tariff act of August, 1894,
which included a prohibition of the i'm
portatiOn of meat cattle and their hides
into the United States. This prohibition
was authorized to be suspended in cases
of countries known to be free of conta-
gious cattle diseases, and it is not gener-
ally known that since last November,
when proclamation was issued by
President Cleveland suspending the pro-
hibition in the cases of Norway, Sweden,
Holland Great Britain and Ireland the
Channel Islands, the countries Of Cen
trail and South America, no cattle have
been allowed entry from any of the
countries designated. Expectations to
the United States from France, Ger
many, Switzerland and certain other
countries therefore are barred. France
orouS warfare on American livestock
and our government officials hold that
pleuro- pneumonia and foot and mouth
diseases are prevalent in those countries.
The action of our consul has special i'm
portance in view of the extensive plans
being made. notably in Fance and Swift
zerland, for increasing the expectation
of their h-blooded cattle to the
United States. The only cattle country
that thus far has taken any notice of our
embargo has been Switzerland.
