It is the characteristic. I think. of our people that we are apparently fearless concerning disease and danger until they actually arrive. and then we are very apt to become panic stricken and to resort to measures of unnecessary rigidity. It is tq defeat the arrival of cholera within our borders. if possible. and to prevent any panic. that I believe the bill should pass totally suspending immigration for one year. The Committee on Immigration was directed by a resolution of the Senate of July 16. 1892. to continue its investigation into the subject of immigration from foreign countries. In pursuance of that direction. a meeting of the committee was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. in New York. on the 26th day of November. at which were present Senators HALE. PROCTOR.
