consult his cabinet about issuing a
cholera proclamation. An extra ses-
sion Of congress is not one of the prob
abilities. There are only three mem
bers Of the cabinet now in the city
Secretary Charles Foster, Secretary
Elkins and Attorney General Miller.
They have no idea that an extra session
will be called.
The best informed members of the
administration think that a proclama-
tion may be issued by President Har-
rison, but they are not certain he will
think this necessary. However, scores
OF kilograms are received daily at the
treasury and state departments and also
at the white house, urging that this
course be taken. The president could not
prohibit immigration. as such, by proc
lamation, but he could warn vessels
from chorcrainfected ports froIa un-
dertaking TO bring passengers to this
country. The stoppage of immigra-
tion from infected stricts would be
a protection. though not an alb
solute prevention of cholera.
Ample power exists in the federal
government TO keep out persons who
