The Expense OF the Late Presidents Ill.
ness.
NEW YORK, December 2d.-A Washington,
special says: One of the first things that will
be brought up in Congress is the settlement
of the bills incident to the late Presidents
illness. The Generals friends will advocate
the appointment of commission to audit ell
bills and make statement to the Secretary
of the Treasury, whom they VIII ask to be
given power to pay the amount from any
| money in the Tree 5ui not otherwise appro-
priated. 1t is thought in this way the mat
ter may be fixed up quietly, without any un-
digniGed sQuabbling in Congress over the
precise amount of money needed. The ply
sicians have been asked by the financial agent
of Mrs. Garfield to send in their bills, but
they have refused to do SO. DIR. Bliss says
he would not think of taking anything
from Mrs Garfield what would be a mere
bsgatelle to tie Government. DR.. Agnew
has figured up the direct loss to him
through his connection with the case, and it
amounts, it is reported, to 50, 5O0 DIR.
Bliss loss of practice and of expenses
incident to his devotion to the President,
| amounts also to some $4,000. This shows
nothing for the constant service, anxiety and
labor as nurse and physician night and day
for the long weeks of the Presidents illness.
Agnew and Hamilton did not give all their
time to the case, or their loss would have been
much greater; but DR.. Bliss surrendered his
entire practice of necessity. Drs. Agrew,
Hamilton and Bliss, it is expected, will con.
| slider S25. 600 apiece about fair compensa-
tion for their work. Drs. Barnes and Wood
ward are officers of the Government, so that
they suffered no pecuniary loss from their at
tendance in the case. The physicians hope
that the matter viii be settled before the holi.
days, and General Garfeld's friends desire
that it be settled before the eulogies are pro.
nounced.
The speakership Fight at washington.
WASHINGTON, December 2d.-The Speak
ership fight has taken q new and most inter.
esting phase since last night. The stalwart
element of the Republican party, led by Sem
| ator Cameron, is now hotly engaged in trying
| to make combination on Keller. Cameron
went to New York two or three DAYS ago,
and consulted with the stalwart lead
ers there. He is working all his in
| huence in favor Of Keifer here. The
| anti-stslwarts are aware OF this, and have
concentrated on Hiscock. This leaves Kes-
son bad third. The stalwarts object to
kasson because Blaine backs him. If Keifer
| is elected it viii be claimed as q stalwart vic.
| tory. An anti. Cameron member from Penn
| sylvania said to-day that the stalwarts had
decided to take Keifer as their candidate to
| beat Hiscock and Kassoo, and keifer's friends
had agreed to the combination. This member
| says sthattwelve Of the Pennsylvania delegation
are certain for Hiscock, and thinks fourteen
will vote for him. Keller has two and Kas.
son probably two, but the chances are that
Kasson's two may go to Keifer. Friends of
| Keifer claim that Hiscock has only seven
votes from Pennsylvania All the members
Cameron can influence viii go for Keifer. The
| terms of this combination are that Keller
| shall try to get the stalwars delegation from
| Ohio. Butte rworth and other Ohiuans admit
that there is stalwart combination, but deny
| that Keifer is committed to the stalwarts in
| any way, and that talk is intended to hurt
| him. Hisccck claims So votes on the first
ballot, and possibly as many as &C., and his
nomination on the third ballot. keifer claims
two votes from California, one from Colorado.
and 50 votes t.t the start.
