QUARANTINE REGULATIONS
Adopted by the Commissioners Of
Agriculture, with the Consent
and Advice of the Board
of Agriculture.

/. No cattle shall be moved or m0ve. eX-
cept as provided IN section. one ~ and two
(2) of these regulations, from any quaran-
tined district of this or any other state, as
defined in the regulations of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
amendments thereto, governing cattle
transportation, into that portion of North
Carolina lying north and west of the fol-
lowing line, to-wit: Beginning at the
southeast corner of Henderson county at
the boundary line between South Carolina
and North Carolina and running northerly
along the eastern boundary of said county
to the southern boundary line of Mcdowell
charge, however, they immediately be-
gan the work of fortifying the city.
German engineers of f~irst-class ability
were employed and the chain of bills
surrounding the port were covered with
forts filled with modern guns. The
strength of these improvements is
shown by the great slaughter inflicted
upon the best gers and the ability to
hold out so long against such great
odds. The Russians claim that Gener-
al Stoessel has sufficient supplies to
keep up the fight until March, and,
Judging by the past, there Is no reason
to contradict this statement. At any
rate, the Japs, have not stuck to their
alleged starving-out plan. Relief for
the brave Russian garrison seems uncer-
tain, despite the fact that the second
Pacific, or Baltic, squadron of war
vessels is still supposedly enroute to
vessels which have been at anchor in
the harbor would appear to have defeat
ed the plans of the Russians in that re-
spect. 1t is generally assumed that Ad-
miral Togo will be enabled to defeat
the Baltic squadron should it attempt,
single-handed, to relieve the besieged
garrison. That officer himself. how
ever, does not appear to apprehend any
immediate engagement, for he is now
at Toxic, where he will confer with
Marquis Ito and other leading japanese
regarding plans for the future conduct
of naval operations. The populace JOY
fully received the admiral and it was
desired to give him a great reception
at the capital, but Togo declined this on
the ground that the time for it was not
yet ripe.
For some reason not explained, the
news from ST. Petersburg regarding
| the war has almost entirely dropped off
while that from Toxic has correspond
ingly increased. This is probably in a
measure due to the fact that winter has
closed In on Manchuria and nothing OF
Importance from the land forces in the
interior may be expected until spring
opens. 1t was stated in a dispatch dur
ing the iweek just past that General
Kuropatkin had requested that arrange.
ments be made for more trains over the
T~rans-Siberian Railroad, with a view
to moving more loops as reinforcements
for the new campaign.
The idea which was prevalent in some
quarters that the Japanese missed their
great opportunity in not crushing the
Russians early in the war seems TO have
somewhat changed, and the view is
now apparently more general that the
Mikado's men know as well what they
are labout as they did in the beginning
There is nothing to indicate that any
movement of Importance in favor O
of peace is imminent, although a dis
patch from st. Petersburg recited tina
the women of the two contesting nation,
would start u movement to the end O
bringing about a cessation of hostllites
