The Atlantic Ports Not Properly Pro-
tected to Resist Disease.
CONCORD, \. H., Sept. 19-Dr. Irving A.
Watson, chairman of the international
quarantine committee. recently appointed
by the international conference OF the
State Boards Of Health, who has just re-
turned, said. In an interview to-day: There
il net single port on the North Atlantic
coast supplied with all the requisite means
and methods of modern maritime sanitary
science. At no single port was there found
a suitable plant for quickly and efficiently
dIsinfecting the plague-stricken ships, and
entiQuated methods were mostly employed.
While many OF our ports are deficient al re-
CARDS quarantine stations, the cholera is
not very likely TO be admitted through the
ports during the present year, although the
danger is ever present Of its introduction,
infected countries should be absolutely
suspended for year or more. The CON-
mission found the port OF Philadelphia the
best equipped of any of the ports
examined. Thus far there is no reason for
alarm 10 this country, and nothing that
should interfere with domestic travel. The
lateness Of the season is in our favor for
this year, and Congress aud the subordinate
legislative bodies should furnish necessary
means TO strengthen the weak point in our
defenses required TO prevent the introduc-
tion Of cholera or any other disease"
PITTsBURG, Penn, Sept. 19.-Dr. J. Fl.
