PROTECTION AGAINST 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 appropriations 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 President, by 

 proclamation of November 8, 1895, lifted the embargo with reference 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.
