ceived by Secretary Sherman, who referred.
them to Assistant 'Secretary Prench,

of this matter, Mr. Miller had the
most to say, and represented the ease
of the cattle men. He had just returned
from England, he said, where he had pur-
°based 200 head of fine Herefords( for breeds
ing purposes. He desired to take his cattle
when they arrived here on clean bills of
health from England-wHich he would
produce -direct to Illinois. xr. French
told him that it would be impossible for
him to do so ; the department had estab-
lished ninety days as it quarantine, and
the cattle would have to remain at or
near the port of entry for that time at
the expense of the importer. The yid -
tors stated' there was no pleurci-
pneumonia west. of the Allegheny
Mountains and that all these vatic were
'raised in dint section. Mr. Fronds replied
that while that was true the British Gov-
ernment, not only; anxious to guard against
eontagioue pleura pnempoiria, but jealous
• of American importatioes, was inclined to
put On (severe restrictions. He had had it
number ef interviews recently with Sir
Edward' Thornton, and had cenvinced
him that American, cattle in the west
were free from the -fatal disease. Sir
Edward Thornton seicl that while his
Government would . favor the direct,
importation front the Western por-
tion of this:countrywithoutslaughter,
through Cani
Canada, it s feared the cattle
• coming east of the Alleghenies through the
'United States might coutraot the disease..
Mr. French said that the United States
• Government would aecode to importations
from Erigland alsogoing through Canada
to the west. He said that a bill to ituthor-
ize this agteement had gone to Congress
before adjournment, but through simple
negligence--thero was no opposition to the

THE' CIRCLE AROUND TUE
Was tt a Precursor of Pestilence in .the
• Country
The magnificent circle which surrounded
the sun troin 11 o'clock es m. until it late
hour of the -afternoon to -day attracted the
attention of all observers, esteh in turn
pronouncing judgment on its origin and.
venturing opinions as to its -effects, which
are ae novel es:they, were striking, and.
even alarming. . Ono elderly gentleman,
who has had muth experience in these
•astronomical phenomena, asserts that this,.. •
circle was not of a vapory composition,
such ;vapory phenomena •being quite
frequent, and always indicating kain ; such
as the circles around the moon as well es •
around the Sun. These grey vapory oinks( •
being -produced by heavy accumulations ef
the rising mists from the waters of the
earth through which the rays of the .sun. �r
moon penetrating, produce these circles,
indicating rain or storm. But the colored
circles of to -clay, whith combined all the •
iridescent colors of the rainbow, was pro-
duced solely by malaria; or the myriad ref
Snsects in the atmosphere that .rise ° frora
