IMPORTATION OF HORSEs-

Three recent reports have called public attention
10 the trade in horsehesh between America and
foreign countries. Formerly that trade wac all IN
single directol-horses were imported into the
United States and exported. About
thirty-fve years ago Mr.. Walters. of Baltimore
began the Importation OF Percherons for breeding
purposes horses which mainly from the
Perche Province, IN Northwestern France. The
price for each animal sometimes as high as
1900 or 5000 That did not prevent large importa-
lions. so that Marquis D'Aleres. a famous horse
and Deputy in the Chamber Paris repeat
edly but vainly offered motions tending to impose
excessive and prohibtive duty upon the
portation of French horses from his own provinces
OF Perche and Anjou, and from the Nievre and
Boulogne districts. Meanwhile. the Percherons
Bouonnais. from France. as well the British
Clydesdales had been crossed with native animals
thanks 10 which the United States succeeded in
producing a fine breed OF horse greatly valued by
European amateurs and even purchased by Euro
pean governments The latest instance in this line
s found in the columns OF the "Amerkanische
Schweitzer Zeitung" the organ In New-York OF
the Swiss colony in the United States. In a recent
number Of his paper, DR. Friedrich states that
there Is now In this country agent OF the Berne
Government charged with the duty Of buying in
the markets Of New-York Chicago and Kansas
City American horses for the Swiss cavalry and
artillery.
Still the importation Of French horses has not
completely ceased. II was reported a few days
ago that the steamer Tauric had brought thirty
six fine French coaching stations. imported for
breeding purposes and consigned TO the breeding
farm OF Mclaughlin Bros, at Columbus. Ohio,
The kind Of foreign horses which was especially
wanted In America was that OF the light Arabian
horses the eKportation Of which was jealousy
forbidden by the Turkish Government A wash
ington dispatch says that frequent inquiries have
been made al the State Department as to how
Arabian horses could be obtained This difficult
problem has been solved by Mr. Straus. at Con-
stan unople. He has already secured from the
Porte the settlement of several questions Of In
demnity naturalization, etc, In favor OF Americans
Minister Straus has lately Informed the State De
partnent that he has received verbal state
ment from the Turkish Ministry OF Foreign Ahairs
that the regulations prohibiting the exportaton OF
that a duty OF FIVE Turkish lvres VIII be charged
