NECESSARY PROBATION.
Cattle for America, Via Canada 10
be Inspected Before Shipment
from England.

Washington, April s.-As a result OF
negotiations between Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson and the Canadian
minister of agriculture, an agreement
has been reached between the two adj
ministrations by which Canada is to
have a first class veterinarian sta
toned III England TO test for tubercu-
losis all British cattle shipped to this
country via Canada.
The Canadian administration want
ed cattle to be admitted from Canada
without tests ut the border by Amer
lean experts. The department at
Washington would not agree to this.
Secretary Wilson said, however. that
if Canada would send to England an
agent who should have sufficient eN-
pert knowledge of the subject, the
United States would admit cattle upon
his certificate that the cattle had beer
tested and found free of tuberculosis
This was agreed to by the Canadian
minister.
1t is officially explained that abou'
ten per cent. of livestock in the Unit
ed States and about forty per cent
in CreatBritain have tuberculosis. Int
cattle on the continent of Europe ars
so diseased that this government vii
not permit the admission of any am
| mails from there.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Tba Deadly Epidemic Raging
Throughout the Conflnens oA
Europe-Imports Prohibited

Washington, April s.-The officials
of the agricultural department are
closely watching all reports from
abroad regarding he extent or the
foot and mouth disease, a fatal maia-
dy that is raging among the hvestoeS
in almost every country throughout
Europe. For the last three years the
outbreak has been general on the Eu'
ropean continent, and the reports ar
irving from various foreign points do
mot indicate any diminutioni in its eN-
! tent.
This government, as it has done
since the epidemic reached such
alarming dimensions, is refusing TO
admit any cattle, sheep or swine, ex-
cent from the British isles. This IS
done not only to protect the vast i've
stock interests of this country, but
also to protect our 8 100000 600 or $4o,-

Army recruits are scare in England

stimulate the laggard military spirit
among British yokels a genius of the
war Office has devised what he calls a
'recruitograph." This is a moving pic

New York, April IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Important developments in the
Ober1in NJ. Carter case are likely TO
occur within a few days. Carter Is
now serving a sentence of five years,
Imprisonment in the government pen
itentiary at Leavenworth, has-
charged with gigantic swindling OPP
~erations against the government. Up
to the time he was convicted, Carter
was under the jurisdiction of, and was
prosecuted by the war department.
Since then the civil authorities of the
government, acting through the de-
partment of justice, have been our
city, but vigorously and relentlessly,
tracing, step by step, the money Car
ter stole, and now have the great
bulk of it located, and are o
i ready to ecove it and TURF 1T back
into the treasury.
The department of justice has dis
covered that Carriers profits from the
shrewd swindling scheme, which he
worked successfully for so long a
time, were $722,000. The government
detectives, who for three years have
been on the ex-army officers
trail, have located nearly ev-
cry cent of this money, and
as soon as certain unlmportant
details are completed the legal steps
necessary to recover it will be taken
by the department of justice. Attach
ments will be sworn out by United
States district attorneys in New York
city, in Savannah, Ga, and at other
places where Carter invested the
money, and it is not impossible
that, as a result of these proceedings
the arrest of two or three well-knowr
men, charged with knowingly taking
part in protecting Carter's stealings
will follow.
1t has been learned that Carter in
vested the money in g~ilt-edged securi
ties and real estate in and aroune
