I see the purpose of the Senator. and will be very happy to discuss that point with him at some time. but the suspension of all immigration for one year does not in terms abolish steerage passage. It will still remain the duty of the immigration officers to enforce the laws. and they will have occasion to use Ellis Island. Besides. Ellis Island is so near to the Jersey coast that I am quit3 sure the Senator from New Jersey . who was afraid to have a naval powder magazine there. would certainly object to its being used as a cholera hospital.
