In company with Senator Harris. the chair
man of the committee on epidemic diseases.
S-urgeon-general Wymsn. of the marine
hospital service, and DIR. Hamilton. who
established Camp Low last fall by direc-
ton of the Treasury Department. They
have been making a most careful exsmina-
tion of the preparations which have been
made in New York and vicinity to repel
the cholera. Senator Chandler said: with
what Is to be lone in the next month
or two it appears that nothing will
remain To be accomplished in the
Way of preparation TO keep out or treat
cholera But i want TO say nevertheless
that with cholera now existing In France
and in Hamburg. L shall urge the lmmedi-
ate PRONUNCIATION by the Treasury Depart
ment OF sanitary regulations. and warn all
state and city authorities TO get ready for
the cholera. L believe that safety can be
found only in the suspension of imnIRra-
ton and tbe stoppaee OF steerage trans
portation. When all possible preparations
otherwise have been made they should be
supplemented by the passage of q suspen-
sion act The two quarantine bills now

port in my bill providing for national quar-
antine IN conjunction with state quaran-
