Mr. Speaker. I want to answer the question of the gentleman. I think that -section 11 as the House passed it was a wise provision. It provided for matrons and surgeons on the ship bringing immigrants. It raised a perfect storm among the other nationalities. They said It would bring about confusion -and division of authority on their own ships. and that we ought not to be permitted to put these people on their ships. Now we have provided for them. I think. by the addition at the end of that section of a provision to the effect that when thoseships reach our port they maybe detained until this very kind of an inspection .and all other inspections can bemade.
