A dispatch from Chicago SAYS: Ex-Sur-
geon John B. Hamilton, who has been con-
spicuous in organizing Camp Low for
cholera suspects, returned to his Office to-
lay. He said: "The great trouble is that
New York attempted to handle this matter
alone when the Government should have
had charge. 1t is unfair to. the rest of the
country, when 80 per cent of immigrants
who land in New York do not stop there,
that New York should take upon herself
the whole authority in this matter. The
quarantine was ineficiently equipped. If
the Government had had control it would
have been impossible for case of cholera
to have reached the State 1 think there
will be some Legislation on this point -
