What are the powers he proposes to bestow upon that officer? The power to make certain rules and regulations and do certain acts. but at the same time he is left. in the Sentors bill. entirely at the mercy of the local quarantine officer. He enjoins upon the Federal officer to act in concert with the State authorities. The only step forward the Senator has made in his bill is to require that there shall be a medical examination of the immigrants at the place where they are shipped. That iswirtually all the Senators bill proposes to do so far as the machinery of quarantine is concerned.
