Mr. Schuyler to Mr. Frelinghuysen.

Legation of the United States,
Athens, February 23, 1884. (Received March 12.)

No. 65.]

Sir: The prime minister told me last evening that the medical council had that day decided to abolish the restriction on the importation of American pork, and that it would be announced officially as soon as it had passed through the proper channels. He even said that I might telegraph it to you, upon which I sent you a telegram as follows: “Minister says prohibition of pork abolished.”

The fact is also stated this morning in the Ora, the personal organ of the prime minister, the reason being assigned that trichinosis had ceased in America.

I have, &c.,

EUGENE SCHUYLER.
