COURTESY OF THE PORT"
HAS BEEN MUCH ABUSED
Secretary Shaw Limits Ex-
tension of Privileges.

The courtesy OF the port. as IL is
practiced in the customs service, has
led 20 such abuses that the Secretary
OF the Treasury has decided 10 limit
the extension Of privileges Special
courtesies were formerly extended only
to principal members OF the diplomatic
corps and other high officials Of foreign
nations. and to invalids and other per-
sons entitled, under some peculiar con-
ditions. to special consideration.
Instructions have been sent by the
Treasury Department to collectors OF
customs directing that discrimination
between private citizens in this matter
must cease. and defining the classes Of
persons entitled 10 special courtesies.
as follows:
Il. To foreign ambassadors. min
listers. charge dafaires. secretaries,
naval. military. and other attaches OF
embassies. and high commissioners.
- To similar representative Of this
government abroad. returning from their
missions.

Returns to Boston.

DR.. ID. z. Salmon. chief of the Bureau
Of Animal Industry OF the Department
Of Agriculture. has returned 20 Boston
to direct the work OF stamping out the
disease. lie Will probably remain there
until the last traces OF It have been
eradicated
The foot-and-mouth disease is a con-
tagious malady peculiar to Illuminating
animals. It seldom is transmitted 20
man. Il Is characterized by the eruption
Of vesicles or bIisters in the mouth.
upon the heels. or between the toes
and upon the udder. The appetites Of
the afflicted animals become poor. the
milk flow is diminished, and the cattle
become lame. The death rate Is very
low. but the disease attacks the whole
herd. and many animals are seriously
Injured. so the loss to the herd owner is
heavy.
European cattle owners have learned
by bitter experience that this disease Is
the source Of discouraging and not IN
frequently OF ruinOus losses The total
loss on a herd is enough to wipe cut
dairyman's profits for a year or two.
Il Is not uncommon for the stock own
ers OF England. France. or Germany TO
be injured by this disease 20 the extent
in a single year Of 81, ,OOO, ,OOO With the
much larger holdings in the United
States. the possible losses from the
malady, If It should become general.
would be stupendous and incalculable.
1t is for this reason that prompt and
stringent measures we're taken by the
Department OF Agriculture. and for
which IL secured from Congress an
Emergency appropriation OF $500. 900.

Disposition of Bodies.

THE hardest work Is not the killing.
but the disinfecting and disposition OF
the bodies of the animals slain. Why.
think Of it. the thermometer in some
places In the New England States, where
our men are working is fifteen degrees
below zero. and the snow is so deep that
burial is absolutely impossible, and Gre
nation has had 20 be resorted TO. The
inspectors and assistants have had their
fingers and toes frost-bitten. and have
been overcome by the cold. They have
stuck manfully by their duty, however.
and il is largely due TO their unfatiEu-
ing efforts that he spread Of the dis
ease has been prevented.
Should we be able TO kill OF all the
exposed and infected animals in ten
days. as fully believe we will do. IL viii
be some little time before the quarantine
can be lifted, and We can feel sure THAI
there will be no danger to other herds

DISEASE OF CATTLE
NOW WELL IN HAND
Secretary Wilson Speaks En-
couragingly of Conditions.
MANY ANIMALS WERE KILLED
Dr.. Salmon, Of Agricultural Depart
ment, Returns to Scene
of Action.
MANY ANIMALS WERE KILLED

II the expectations Of the officials of
the Department Of Agriculture turn out
correctly. the foot and mouth disease, %
which has been raging among the cat
tie in New England. and on account Of
which a strict quarantine has been es-
tablished in several States. will be vir-
tually eradicated within the next ten
days. According to the reports receiv-
ed in this city in the past few days. the
work Of killing of the diseased cattle
and those which have been exposed to
it is progressing steadily. About one
hundred animals are being slaughtered
daily, and the total number killed TO date
is in the neighborhood OF one thousand.
At the present rate. the total number Of
cattle which VIII have been killed at
the expiration Of the ten days time will
be about two thousand.
Speaking OF the work OF the depart
ment in stamping out the disease. Sec
retary Wilson said yesterday:
I'VE have the situation now well IN
hand, and / believe we can prevent the
spread Of the disease to herds in other
States By the end Of ten days I be-
lieve every animal exposed TO the in
fection. or affected with the disease, will
have been killed.
