WASHINGTON CITY.

3Gg;on Just nov. There is hardly a
Spot out'0f doors within the corpor-
ate limits of the city that a person
can stand without seeing at least
AZ dozen United States flags, and the
x,rivate dwellings that have no flag
Hung to the breeze are so few as to
aapI,eGr odd Every train that ar
riveS brings a load of veterans,
their friends and families. Every
<hiag il in readiness Cor the en-
<ampmcnt and there is only one
drawback TO the pleasure OF all,
citizens and soldiers alike, and
shat Is the Oar gerous illness of Mrs.
Morrison. That she has the most
~siucere and heartfelt sympathy of
the visitors is shown by the fact
that about the first question asked
B.y them all is: "What is the latest
from Mrs. Harrison; how is she?"
Vice PrpsidentMOrton was select
s& 10 take the place Of the Pres. in
wrestling over the dedication Of
Grand Army Place, reviewing the
G. A r. parade, making the address
Of welcome at the Pension Office
reception to be held by the citizens
committee, and holding the White
House reception in honor of the
veterans 1t is difficult to
realize that Mrs. Harrison's con-
dition may continue SO dangerous
as &c prevent the Presidents enjoy
Iug the pleasure he has been anti
s.iystiHg for months of meeting his
comrades at the encampment, and
everybody is still hoping that she
will get better and that the Presi-
dent can come on to remain during
a portion Of encampment week, if
mot Tor the whole week. The latest
news from the sick room is not,
Nowever, at all favorable to these
hopes
Public sentiment would be pract.
icaliy unanimous in sustaining the
President should he issue q pro.
cEamation absolutely prohibiting
Immigration for a period of one
year; for, although it is felt that the
greatest danger of cholera epide
mic this year has passed, there is {
general recognition of the peril w
shail be in during the entire sum
uaer OF next year, and feeling tina
1t would greatly lessen that peril
all immigration were suspended
until it is passed. The Presiden
iS known to sharein these belief
but 3in is reluctant to assum
agth0rity which might be question
ed in some quarters, even when
is for the generl welfare of all.
Frota cursory examination of tn
t&ws at the time his twenty-da
quarantine proclamation was il
saed he formed the opinion that Coz
gvessioRal action would be nece
s&ry TO prohibit immigration. TIL
week the attorney General and h
assistants are making a careful e,
animation in order to ascertai
whether there is any legal way /
which immigration may be stoppe
ny restrictions through our COZ
aular agents abroad.
