WASHINGTON, D. C., August 31.-
While the Marine Hospital officials as
sumo that they viii be able to maintain
an effective quarantine against the in
PRODUCTION Of cholera ia this country,
there is no doubt that a great deal Of
apprehension exists that the disease
will We: gets ioot-holi in some Of the
Atlantic ports.
The proposition TO call an extra ses-
sion Of Congress for the purpose Of pro-
hibitlng all immigration, so long as the
epidemic prevails, was broached today.
The NciC York sun, in a double loaded
communication, which was given edi-
torial prominence, makes this demand,
and is met with concurrence iu several
quarters. There is no d0ub, that the
sentiment here, Washington being so
near 10 the leading Atlantic ports, is
heartily IN favor of the idea.
There are only few members OF
Congress az present in Washington, and
10 is therefore Impossible 90 get express
sious from any considerable number.
Senator CulCm, Of Illinois, opposes the
idea on the ground that the officials
Wi. be able 90 protect the country from
cholera, but his views were given be-
autine in New York. The appearance
OF a vessel az New York, on which
cholera had existed during the voyage,
has caused an intensity OF feeling on
the subject, and 10 is now, at most GER
tain that serious efforts viii 1e made 10
have the President consider the adviSa-
bility OScOnvening Congress in special
session for the purpose stated.
New YoRE, August 3l.-The Asiatic
cholera reached the port Of New York
on board the steamship M0pvia to-day.
Twenty-Five deaths occurred during the
ten days she was on the ocean. Two
patients, both adults, are recovering
from the disease on board.
Although she arrived Sanight, the
Moravia was not sent from She upper 20
lower quarantine with the yellow Tag
fying until almost noon tJiay.
She is now there, and with her pas
.seugerS will not be released from the
ewes OF the health G-,hOr.tieS until
every known means Is employed ln
stamping out the dreaded plague. Or.
Jenkins is hopeful that he w,.. be able
q keep the cholera away from the city
OF New York, but tonight Le is q very
much worried man.
lie has ordered the transfer OF the
M5ravia's passengers 90 Hoffman Island
and viii not only make O personal eX-
animation OF the disease as DO IS aboard
the ship, but ne vii also confer with
the health authorities of this city and
consider WAYS and means CD keep 10
from entering the city. More vessels
will arrive from Hamburg this week
It's possible thai 'lryher deaths will
te reported, and cases In their worst
form, it is now conceded, may appear
within the next two OaYs. The Situa-
t01 +, serious. Unless all immigration
from infected ports is stopped, tJ Is not
