I certainly have misunderstood the gentleman if that is not the effect of his statement. Nor do I see. under that act. how the State authorities could interfere at all for the protection of the public health. Under this amendment every immigrant must undergo this quarantine in the port of departure. and having been subjected to it he has the absoluth right to discharge at the port of entry unless some danger shall have developed during the voyage. which danger must become apparent to the Federal authorities mentioned in the bill reported by the committee. This. I understand. will be the prabtical operation of the amendment.
