THE PRESIDENTS POWERS.
His Right to Restrict Immigration in An
Emergency Defined.

His Right to Restrict Immigration in an
Emergency Defined.
WASHINGTON, Sep 17.-The following
is the opinion rendered by the Depart
ment of Justice to the President, on his
powers under the law to restrict immi-
gration
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, WASHINGTON.
The PREsIDENT-Sir: By your telegram
you ask for an opinion as to the extent of
the powers conferred upon the Surgeon
General of the Marine Hospital Service
and the Secretary of the Treasury, with
your approval, to make quarantine regu-
lations with reference to immigration from
infected ports.
In answer 1 have to say that every
Government is under obligation to take
all necessary measures to preserve the life
and property of its citizens, not only from
foreign invasion but to adopt such sani-
tary measures as are calculated to protect
the people from those pestilences which
have been found nearly if not quite as
destructive as war. This is but another
application of the maxim that self-pre-
servation is the firsU law Of nature, and it
may be added, of nations.
The right of the State to enact sanitary
measures to protect its citizens is CON
ceded. The right of the United States TO
do the same must be admitted.

COMMANDER WHITES MISSION.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 17.-The news
which the Navy Department gives out 80
briefly, stating that the Concord, tile
first Of Admiral Walkers squadron to ar
rive at La Guayra, had been ordered to
proceed to Puerto Cabello, so or 100 miles
up the coast, now that the Kearsarge had
arrived to relieve guard at La Guayra,
is understood to mean more than the
simple announcement would imply.
Navy officials now intimate that the
political refugees who were forcibly taken
from on board the American "Red d"
steamer Caracas are believed to be i'm
prisoned by Gen. Urdeneta, the Venezue-
Ian official who ordered their arrest, at
Puerto CabellO, and Commander Whites
mission with the Concord will be to de-
mand their immediate release and restora-
tion to the protection of the United o.ates
flag.
This is in line with the policy which
the present administration adopted In the
Barrundia affair, only it goes one step
further than that incident.

MRS. HARRlsoNps CONDITION.
Physicians VIII Not Make Predictions az

to Her Chances for Recovery.
LOON LAKE, N. Y, Sep, 17.-"Gen-
eral condition may be said to be i'm
proved" " said DR.. Doughty, just before
leaving for New York, after an examina-
tion of Mrs, Harrison.
"Her condition is slightly improved,
but is still critical" wired Private Sec
retary Halford to those who sent anxious
inquiries during the morning concerning
the mistress of the White House.
From these statements it will be seen
that Mrs. Harrison has improved in some
slight degree, but she is still in a most
critical condition. She is by no means on
the road to recovery, but danger of deaUh
is not 80 imminent as it was few days
ago.
The physicians, though, make no pre-
dictiOns as TO her chances for recovery.
The President and the members of his
party look more cheerful than they have
for many days Faint hope was born af-
ter the operation yesterday, and it suf-
fuses the dropping spirits of the afflicted
family.

Only one consumptive patient on
board: too weak to be removed.
The cabin passengers of the Rugia on
board the New Hampshire are extremely
well satisfied. The vessel is well sup
piled with everything that is needed
The arrival of the Bohemia yesterday
morning concluded the list of the expect
ed suspects" of the Hamburg-American
Company. She carried 658 steerage, 10
cabin and n crew-a total of 740 souls.
The record of the voyage for sickness was
not serious, as compared with the ships
of the line previously quarantined, though
this vessel, it was feared, would be the
banner ship, in point of mortality, from
the scourge, having sailed from the
plague city Sep. 8.
The Bohemia has been for mauy
years in the service, and since the
appearance of the fast express steamers
she has been devoted almost entirely to
the immigrant business.
DIR. Byron after visit TO the Bohemia,
reported that there were eleven deaths at
sea on the steamer and that four cases
have been removed to Swinburne Island,
The Suevia arrived from Hamburg dur
ing the night The ship is in first class
condition. She carries 50 cabin passen-
gers and crew of 81. No disease appeared
during the voyage, and there are no indi-
cations of any.
The patients at the islands are doing
well with one exception, case from the
Bohemia, which will probably result ia
tally.
Capt. Savig, of the Norwegian steam
ship. Kitty, which arrived during the
night from Baracoa, reported the death
of his steward. He at first refused to
state the nature of the disease, and the
Kitty was held for a time. After an in
vestigation it was found that the man
had died Of fever, and mad no symtoms Of
cholera The vessel was then released
and proceeded to her dock.
Several suspected cases of cholera have
been reported on Staten Island during
the past two or three days, and, although
upon investigation, they have been re-
ported TO be other diseases than Asiatic
cholera, there has been quite a scare in
the respective neighborhoods of the sus.
pected cases.
There has not been a single case Of
genuine cholera discovered on Staten Is l.
and, at Fort Hamilton, or along tine Jer-
sey coast, and the health officers say that
there is no danger of the infection getting
ashore through the sanitary lines that are
now established.
LOttie Collins, the English singer, who
was among the passengers of the Nor
MAMMA, released yesterday, is quite i'll.

The condition of mind which follows
the receipt Of a free pass has always
formed most mysterious study to me-
A perfectly normal and well balanced
brain has been turned topsy turvy in a
minute by the receipt of IA free pass and
never seemed to regain its equilibrium.
There is no spectacle in the world more
common than that of the man who takes
the manager out to dinner, treats him to
the most elaborate affair that he can
buy and then falls into condition of
infantile delight when he receives the
pass for which he has been working.
Ordinary persons will buy no end of
champagne for theatrical man if they
think there is such thing as pass in
sight. They struggle and scheme and
work for it, and apparently the mon
etary side of it never forces itself upon
their judgment.
Why q man will spend ten dollars in
treating another in order to procure for
nothing seats which he could have
bought for three dollars is mystery

MakesIlifts,

A little music rack, book shelf or what
not which will recommend itself to many
woman whose nomadic life makes it i'm
possible for her to possess many belong
ings yet who wishes to make her room
look homelike and comfortable, is made as
follows: Buy small clotheshorse, which
will cost sixty-five cents, threefold and
about three feet high. These clothes
frames come well finished and in all sizes
simply for decorative purposes.
Four shelves which may be made of
boxes, if one is handy with the saw and
plane, or which will cost about one dollar
if got of the carpenter, are needed. These
must be smooth, with beveled edges. The
top shelf is only half the width of the
lower ones. The shelves are hung on the
rods of the clothes frames by means of two
brass screw hooks in each end; these hooks
are screwed into the shelves at such dis
tances from the edge as will make them
fit easily and will hold the frame firmly.
The exact distance can be ascertained by
measuring; if the screws are too long they
must be cut off from the under side. Brass
knobs, such as are used for curtain poles,
etc., are set into the tops of the posts.
When the rack is finished it may be
stained and vanished or rubbed down and
painted white, blue or pink and lined with
gold. The shelves are easily unlocked,
and the frame folded so as to go into a
trunk. Brass rods for curtains may be
added if desired.
To make a handsome bedspread from a
linen sheet have large diamonds stamped
all over it, and work them in outline stitch
with dark blue Scotch linen floss. Finish

other way is to fringe out the linen sheet
all around, making knotted fringe
Above the fringe make two or three rows

There is a universal tendency to seek
and sometimes to see in the forms of OBJ
jects around us representations of the
human figure or of animals and plants.
Many interesting examples have been re-
corded and pictured of rocks and noun
tains presenting resemblances to animated
forms We are quite ready to discern in
the clouds all sorts of personages, and at
periods when superstition has been active,
apparitions have been described, the whole
existence of which consisted of misinter-
preted simple resemblances. Stones have
usually been considered especially worthy
of attention in this category; in tubercles
of sandstone and nodules of flint it is easy
to find features analogous with the most
various objects.
A block of sandstone is exhibited in the
forest of Fontainebleau on which one will
ing to see it may recognize petrified
knight on his horse, all of the natural size.
A nodule of sandstone was once brought to
me in the geological laboratory of the mu-
scum, on which the owner sawthe portrait
of our Lord ON the cross.
Some persons are specially ingenious in
finding resemblances in f1ints, and Boucher

and Antediluvian Antiquities whole
series of figures of initiative forms of that
mineral.-M. Stanislas Meunier in Popu-
