I desire to say to the Senator from Connecticut that the bill has been submitted to the steamship owners to whom he refers. and they have not made strenuous opposition to it. If. as the Senator says. it will take three or four weeks for them to make sufficient examination of a dozen immigrants to get started. I should like to ask him how long it will take us to examine them after they get over here. We examine five thousand in one day. and the Senator seems to think that it will take three weeks for them to get on board the ship.
