Unloading the Monument and Pre pariae for the Dedication. OAETAN'O RCSSO, THE SCULPTOR. The statue of Christopher Columbus, pre sented to America by the people of Italy arrived at the Port of New York, a few days ago, on the war ship Garigliano. The Garigliano was boarded by a party of Italians from a tuz, who returned to town about 7 o'clock. Then the Garigliano came up to the foot of Fulton street. North River, accompanied by a tug, but there were no formal ceremonies of welcome. Immediately the work of unloading the statue Iron the bold of the Italian naval transport was begun and as the first stone slowly ascended in the powerful grasp of the big derrick Chapman a cheer arose from the throng of patriotic Italians who had gath ered upon the wharf at Fulton street, to witness the discharge of the previous cargo. The reception of the statue was in the hands of Secretary J. N. Malferrari and Captain J. Mardini, of the Executive Com mittee of the Italo-Americano Society. The sections were placed on trucks and taken to the site to be occupied by the work of art at Fifty-ninth street and Eighth avenue. This will be made the occasion of a demon stration, a procession with numerous floats being a feature. A large force of workmen will be set to work in order to have the statue completed and ready for dedication by October 12. THK ST A TOE. The statue is in the form of a cylindrical shaft, measuring seventy-six feet from base to the apex of the heroic figure of Columbus at the top. Four steps form the base, with a pedestal of ornamental design in half re lief sustaining figures of the genius oc dis covery. The figure of the discoverer at thi top of the column represents him in reflec tive moo.1, attired in ths garb of a mariner. The statue is in parts aui packed in 105 separate cases, aud forms the entire cargo of the little transport. Some of tho s?ctio:is are very small, while oz iers are quite poa derous, the largest weighing a bono twaacy fi vetoes. It will tike about one week to discharge the entire cargo from the hoi 1 of the vessal. The statue was entered, free of duty at thy Custom House under the law providing for the free admission of works of art, and permission to unloa 1 awaited ths arrival of the Gargiliano at her dock. The transport is eomuiandel by Chevalier C. J. Rugsrero, and among the officers oi the vessel is Manlio Garioaldi, who holds tha office of Commander of Marines. It was intended that demonstrations in honor of the descendant of the Italian hero should be male, but the rouag man modestly de clined the honors off ere 1, his modesty an I notions of rank forbidding him. That he will be banqu?tei an I lionize! informally, however, is evident from the number ot visitors who pressed forward to shake the young officer by the hand and afterward followed hi:n up to 3roadway when he left the vessel for a lour on shore. After her cargo has been un'oaJed the Italian transoort will drop down to an anchorage below Liberty Island, where it is expected that she will remain until after the celebration on October 12.

Twenty Bays' Qnarantino Or dered by President Harrison. A Circular Which Practically Suspends All Immigration. President Harrison practically suspended foreign immigration by issuing an order that all steamships from foreign ports bringing immigrants be subjected to a quarantine of twenty days at the port of arrival before landing passengers. This order applied to all steamships leaving foreign porta on and after Septem ber 1, and was enforced against all steam ships then on the sea bound hither, at the discretion of health officer On the announcement of the President's order the Inman line, the leading American transatlantic steamship company, immedi ately cabled to all its European agents directing them to suspend all immigrant business. As about 50,000 European immigrants are brought hither a month the order will have cXi mediate and far reaching effect. The agents estimate that the loss the sfceamshin companies will be not less than $2,000,000 a month. President Harrison arrived at the White House from his vacation at Loon Lake and his visit to Whitelaw Reid in New York about half -past 8 o'clock, and immediately called a conference of Government officials to consider the cholera situation. After an hour's deliberation it was de cided not to issue a proclamation suspending immigration, but instead to issue the fol io?, ins; circular: Treasury Department, Office of the") Supervising Surgeon-General. Uni- ted State Marine Hospital. Ser- vice. Washington, September 1, 1392. J To Collector of Customs, Medical Officers of the Marine Hospital Service, Foreign Steamship Companies, State and Local Boards of Health; It having been officially declared that cholera is prevailing in various por tions of Russia, Gernaany and France, and at certain ports in Great Britain, as well as Asia, and it having been made to appear that immigrants In large numbers are coming into the United States from the infected districts aforesaid, and that they and their personal effects are liable to introduce cholera into the United State?, and that vessels convaying them are thereby a direct menace to the pub lic health, and it having been further shown that under the laws of the several ; States quarantine detentions may be im posed upon these vessels a sufficient length of time to insure against the introduc tion of contagious diseases, it is hereby ordered that no vessel from any for eign port carrying immigrants shall he admitted to enter at any port of the United States until said vessel shall h ive undergone a quarantine detection of twenty days (unless such detention is forbidden by the laws of the State, or the regulations made thereunder) and of such greater num ber of days as may be fixed in each special case by the State authorities. This circular to take immediate effect, ex cept in cases of vessels afloat at this date, which will bo made the subject of special consideration upon due application to the Department. Walter Wyman, Supervising Surgeon-General, United States Marine Hospital Service. Charles Foster, Secretary of the Treasury. Approved: Benjamin Harrison. This circular was accompanied by le?al opinion as to the power of the President from Attorney-General Miller, the essence of which is in "the following latter half: By the law of 1878 it is provided, among other thin gs: First That no vessel coming frdm any foreign port or country where any conta gious disease exists, or conveying any person or persons, merchandise or animals, affected with any contagious disease, shall come into the United States except in the manner and subject to the regulations in that act au thorize! . Second The Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital Service shall, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, be charged with the execution oi the provisions of this act, and shall frame all needed rules and regula tions for that purpose. These rules and regulations shall be subject to the ap proval ot. ttae President but uch rules and regulations shall not conflict with or impau any sanitary or quarantine laws or regula tions of any State or municipal authorities now existing, or which may hereafter be enacted. The policy of Congress has apparently been to mainly leave this branch of the pub lie service with the States, and most of th seaboard States have statutes more or less elaborate on the subject. The State statutes and regulations, how ever, may be supplemented by the Na tional Executive. My conclusion, there fore, is that the Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital Service and the Secretary of the Treasury, with your approval, have authority to make needful rules and regula tions, not inconsistent with the State laws ani regulations for the quarantining of ship3 coming into our harbor--, with a view to the protection of the health and lives of our people. Very respectfully, W. H. H. Miller, Attorney-General The Postoffica Department also decided on a rigid inspection of all foreign mails from infected countries. The step was con sidered necessary by reason of the large commercial correspondence constantly going on between the United State and those countries, and by which cholera germs could be commrnaicated. Mail matter of this descriDtion is to be thor ourhly fumigated before being delivered for distribution, and the utmost pains taken to prevent che introduction of the disease into the United States through the mails. The chief of the Foreign Mail Bureau haa tne matter in charge, an 1 his instructions to postoftiee officials on the subject are most comprehensive. Additional means of security have been ordered for use at the National Quarantine stations at the Delaware Breakwater and Cap3 Cnarles, Va. The revenue cutter mona was ordered to the former and the revenue steamer Crawford to the latter place. Beth boats are well equipped for the work in hand, and Marine Hospital officials say tbat their presence at tha two stations named will be fruitful of good results should infected ship3 put in there. The revenue steamer Ewijjg is also at the Ca Charles station fitted up for use as a floating hospital, and this makes the outfit at that station complete in every particular. Reports from the California vinevards seem to show that the erape business is be ing overdone there. They are producing more wine than can readi:y be dispoied of, and the result is a glut in the mancet and tumble in prices. W. PJ1. BOAlD9 Attorney at Law EDENTON, N. C. OFHCS ON KINO STREET.
