far as congress shall legislate. III my opinion
the whole subject should be taken into national
control and adequate power given to the execu-
tive TO protect our people against plague inva
slons.
On the first Of September last / approved
regulations establishing a twenty day quaran
tine for all vessels bringing immigrants from
foreign ports. This order will be continued In
force Some loss and suffering have resulted TO
passengers, but u due care for the homes OF our
people lustihes in such cases the utmost preeau-
Ton There is danger that with the coming oi
spring, cholera will again appear, and liberal

enable our quarantine and port officers TO ex'
clude the deadly plague,
But the most careful and stringent quarantine
regulations may not be sufficient absolutely 70
exclude the disease The progress OF medical
ana sanitary science has been such, however

10 put all OF our cities and towns in the best
sanitary condition and provision is made for

avoided This work appertains TO the local

UNRESTRICTED IMMIGRATION

Of the fact that unrestricted immigration brings
70 us out oil European cities In the overcrowded
steerages OF great steamships large number
OF persons whose surroundings make them the
easy victims OF the plague. This consideration,
as weu as those Affecting the political, moral
and industrial interests OF our country lead me
TO renew the suggestion that admission to our
country and 70 the high privileges OF Its citizen
ship should be more restricted and more care
