places IN North Germany. This morning
DR.. Wyman of the marine hospital service
received long telegram from the pro-
vinoial secretary Of Canada at Quebec, In
which he says that he he's recommended
total suspension Of immigration and that all
~sssels arriving from infected ports will be
detained at quarantine for eight days. The
