government of that country of american cattle the president himself dictated a small but most important portion of the correspondence in its earlier stage and the concluding chapters contributed by secretary olney sweep away like cobwebs the specious explanations put forward to justify the exclusion and make it plain that retaliation may be expected it if the unjust restrictions are not abated or justified in march of last year just jost after the fact act that the exclusion order had bad been issued was made known to the state department through mr vignaud our charge at parit secretary

to exclude the herds berds of the united states the same process of reasoning ing would make it equally essential to the protection ol of the cattle attle ot of the united states that french stock block especially the normar normac breed which Is now attracting so much attention here should be excluded from the united states from the correspondence which closed soon after this passage it appears that the secretary was prevented from making good this implied threat owing to representations representation that a now new french ministry would be more mors favorable to the united states
