THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
commission held its annual meeting
to-day at the White House. All
members were present, including
President Arthur. 1t was decided
to ask Congress for an appropriation
of $4,000 to continue completing
the monument.
THE GARFIELD BILLS.
The money to pay the expenses of
Mr.. Garfeld's illness will be dispos-
ed of as follows: Drs. Bliss,
Agnew and Hamilton will receive
two-thirds of it, giving them about
SCI, 900 each. The four nurses will
receive S., 800 each. DIR. Lamb
will get ST., 900 for the autopsy. DR..
Reyburn, who was Bliss assistant.
will also receive snug sum for his
services. The doctors make no oI
lection to the bill in congress, but
they will be glad to take whatever
congress will give.
CABINET CHANGES,
The president will probably
nominate the postmaster general be-
fore the holiday adjournment, SO the
new incumbent may enter upon his
duties January I. Rumor still as
signs Filley to the place, though
there are some who say Filley has
been passed over, and that another
man will get It. Indications, how
ever. point to Filley. Hunt will be
succeeded before long, and will pro-

claims vacated bv Bancroft Davis.
The president told senator who
was urging man for appointment
on the court of claims to-day that
the position was promised, and he
could not consider any name for it.
1t is believed he has promised the
place to Hunt. Longstreet will pro-
badly succeed Hunt.

Streams on two heads--one gray, one god.
