Mr. Rollins, from the committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia, reported favorably on House joint resolution making an appropriation of $15,000 for filling up, draining and placing in good sanitary condition the grounds south of the Capitol along the line of the old canal, and $5,000 for medical attendance, medicine’ and food for the infirm poor of the ‘District. The bill also authorizes the District Commissioners toexrend $15,000 for the relief of the poor. ury sald he was not opposedsio this plan had been agreed upon’ to im Prove these grounds; but If it Wasappropriating meney merely to enable the District Commis- signers to experiment; he must oppose it.

Why Ue the hands of the commission and say that it should not consider incidentally the question of protecuing the alluvial lands? If the amend- ment prevailed, it would be equivalent to in- structing the commission to Epo against the e outlet system.

E tary of Stat Evarts, Secre- formation of enclosing for the Jouees a copy of a note dated the 27Uh Ultimo, addressed to the State deparunent by the British Minister, which says:—“I have the henor to acknowledge the receipt of your hote of the 25th inst., and with reference to the inquiry made by the Treasury department as to the necessity of transmitting with live animals exported from this country to England a cer- tiicate that they are not infected with conta- gious disease, 10 enclose a copy of Lat part of the order in council of the 6th ultimo which relates to animals Imported from the United States. From the terms of this order 1 do not understand that the above-mentioned certifi- cate would be indispensable, although I sould prefer to consult my government before making & positive statement upon the subject, for you Will observe (hat certain conditions, oné of which is inspection of Ube animals on ‘landing, are annexed to their exemption from belt slaughtered at the port of landing. But Should at the same thne state that I forwarded to tie Marquis of Salisbury a copy of the cir- cular from Use Treasury depariment which you ansiniited to me in your note of the 2d inst, by which collectors of customs were authorized tocause an Inspection to be made of all meat cattle prepared to be shipped from United States ports to Great Britain, and to issue a certificate that they are tree from disease. In \iew of Ubis circular, and of the statement of the existence of pleuro-pneumouta amongst cows in the neighborhood of Washtuzton, which were brought to your notice by Mr. Drummond in bis note of the 10th inst., 1 ears tO me that it might be expedient that cattle for ex- port to Great Britain should still for the present inspected by collectors of customs, and should be furnished with a certiticate that they are free from contagion: disease An extract from the foreign animals order at the council chamber, Whitehall, the 6th day of December, Isis, is annexed. ‘The Pistrict Comm!sstoners, in reply retary Evarts, requesting further juformat for Uie use of the Briuish minister on the sub- ject of disease among cattle in ub!s District, transmit a copy of the report of the Lealth of ficer in the premises, based upon investigation made subsequent to the receipt of the Secre- tary’s letter of the 2ist ult. From that report it appears that while there were a few isolated cases of pleuro-pneumonia of a mild type, it did not assume an epidemic character, and has enurely disappeared, and no form of disease now prevails among cattle in this District. The health ofticer’s report referred to staves that “careful examination over sixty dairy farms and cow stabies falls to record the existence of a single animal afflicted with pneamonia or other of . In the ‘heastera por- ton of the county of Washington, where Unis disease did prevail to some extent, though not in epidemic form, it has disappeared entirely through Ube influence of certain measures of isolation, cleanliness, and the careful selection of food. recommended by the health omicer. The disease is what might be classed as a mild type of pleuro-pneumonta, and has disappear- ed entirely from this section.” 82 During 1577 5,877 ited from the Austro- fungarian n bmpire, an nearly all came to the United States.
