PROTECTION AGx^INST CONTAGION FROM FOREIGN CATTLE. 



An act of Congress of August 28, 1894, prohibits the importation of 

 cattle and cattle hides, but by the act of March 2, 1895, making appropria- 

 tions for the Department of Agriculture, it is provided that the prohibition 

 may be suspended by the President whenever the Secretary of Agriculture 

 shall certify to the President what countries or parts of countries are free 

 from contagious or infectious diseases of domestic animals. The Presi- 

 dent, by proclamation of November 8, 1895, lifted the embargo with ref- 

 erence to Norway, Sweden, Holland, Great Britain, Ireland, the Channel 

 Islands, and the countries of North, Central and South America so as to 

 admit cattle under sanitary regulations prescribed by the Secretary of 

 Agriculture; also from all countries so as to admit hides under regulations 

 prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
