THE COLUMBUS STATUE.
The Gift of Italy Arrives at tbe
Port of New York.
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.

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

immigration, but instead to issue the fol

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.
