Chairman. no point of order was made against the appropriation of $500.000 for the quarantine station in New York. and I hope the gentleman from Texas :.ill withdraw his point of order against the present amendment. if for no other reason than to see the dove of peace hovering in this Chamber. with one limb upon the shoulder of my distinguished colleague from Maryland and the other limb on my shoulder. and bearing in its beak the planks to repair the rotting wharves of the quarantine station at Baltimore. We ask for only $75.000 to repair the wharf and other facilities at the quarantine station at Baltimore. The Secretary of the Treasury recommended $285.620 for the proper equipment of the quarantine station at Baltimore. but that was not provided in this bill. We have therefore asked for only $75.000 in order that the quarantine station may continue in operation. Baltimore city has just authorized and is expending $50.000.000 for the improvement. of the port. and the great steamship lines are about to take. away their ships because we can not receive the immigrants.
