Secretary Rusk Talks About Exporting Cattle. BRITISH DISCRIMINATION.
TIi© Secretary Will Provo to the British Government That Pleurfi-Pneuinonia Doe* Not Exist i*» Tills Country—Other Washington Dispatches. Washington, Nov. 11.—The attention of Secretary Rusk has been willed to the report cabled to this country, in which Air. Chaplin, the British minister of agriculture, is represented as opposing the removal of the restrictions of the British government against live cattle from the United States, and expressing regrets at being compelled to restrict importations from friendly countries like Holland and (lermany, while in the case of the United States he did not even
feign regret.
The secretary had*read the rejiort and was apparently not uneasy relative to it. He stiid that Mr. Chaplin was taking the side of those whose interests led them to oppose the free introduction of American store cattle to their own country, and that he seemed to forget that this country hadahundant evidence that there exi ts among the purchasers of store rattle in England and Scotland a widespread fei ling in favor of unrestricted importation of cattle from this country, provided this can be allowed with perfect safety to British cattle. The secretary referred to resolutions adopted at a recent session of the agricultural council, which, while deprecating the present withdrawal of the reetrictions upon American cattle, declared at the same time that restrictions of this nature ought not to he removed in favor of the cattle of any country where pleoro-pneumonia has been shown to exist until at least six months had elapsed since an official declaration had been made of the immunity of that country from this disease. The secretary construes this resolution to mean that it is simply a question of time when the British government will feel obliged to remove restrictions from any country which can show conclusively that the disease has been eradicated. “In the application of any such rules" said the secretary, “ it is not likely that the British ministry will undertake to discriminate against us. and just as soon as sufficient time has, in my opinion, elapsed since the last ease of pleuropneumonia occurred in this country, I shall make an official declaration of its complete eradication, and shall strive to satisfy the British government that the disease does not exist here. If this does not secure the withdrawal of these restrictions. England will at least have to abandon the charge of unhealthfulness of onr cattle as the cause. There are buyers as well as sellers abroad, and they will probably see to it that their interests also receive some attention." The secretary continued: “I notice in the report referred t.> that Mr. Chaplin is made to say: ‘The information of the hoard of agriculture is that, in spite of all the efforts made in America to extirpate pienro-pneumonia, that disease srill exists then .’ With that statement I must take positive issue. I unhesitatingly challenge Air. Chaplin to point out a single ease of plcuro-pnen-monia now existing among American cattle. < )f course, I < aunot tell whut is his source ot information, hut whatever it is he is grievously mislead. No doubt it is very difficult for an Englishman like Mr. Chaplin to imagine thut wh.it tl-.i y have for.i.iVi; imp --ihle te do -.vitilia tiie narrow limits of their little island this country has been aide to accomplish throughout i'u* vast! nitory. a id l suppose we must he a little patient on that

past large bodies of Polish emigrants have left Russia bound for Brazil, where it is their intention to found colonies.

Only a Humor. Washington, Nov. 11. —The published statement that ex-Congressman Evans, of Tennessee, will succeed Secretary Tracy as secretary of the navy, upon the latter’s transfer to the bench of the supreme court of the United States, is discredited in naval circles here. In the first place it is pointed out that Mr. Tracy shows no signs of vacating his present position as secretary of the* navy. In fact, he is now more thoroughly interested in the work of tlie navy department than ever liefore. Close friends of Secretary Tracy say it is generally conceded that Justice Miller’s successor will come from the west. It is said, however, that before the close of the present administration there will he another vacancy to fill in the supreme court, to which'Secret ary Tracy may lie appointed. Secretary Tracy is now in New York. Stuck on Washington. Washington.
