PRESIDENT GARFIELD AT LONG
RRAN0H

The malarious atmosphere engeudered
in the neighborhood Of the White House
by the marshy Potomac flats, coupled
with the eager desire of the patient for
change of location, led the Presidents
physicians to decide upon removing
him to Long Branch. On Tuesday, after
the most careful and elaborate prepara-
tions, the task was successfully accom-
plished and the President is now estab-
}is}tea iii comfortable quarters in Efbarcn
Hotel at New Jerseys noted seaside re-
sort. For short time after his arrival
there, the mental excitement and pl,ysi-
cal agitation consequent upon tile trip
produced rise Of temperature and in
crease Of pulse i'll the patient, but these
symptoms have again abated and the
condition Of the sufferer is regarded with
ren9Fed hopefulness by his physicians.
The necessity for such a large corps of
medical attendants and nurses having
passed away, Drs. Barnes, Rcyburn and
Woodward have withdrawn from the
case, leaving Drs. Bliss, Agnew and Ham
ilton in charge, with DR.. Boynton, the
Presidents family physician, acting in
the capacity Of nurse at the Presidents
bedside.
The weather has been unusually warm
most Of the time since the Presidents re-
moval to Long Branch, and this disap-
pointing circumstance has initiated
greatly against the speedy improvement
of the patient, but it is hoped that the
temperature will soon moderate and that
tho pure air and invigorating sea
breczes will exert an early and benef-
cial influence upon his Frustrated sys-
TEN.
The swelling of tho parotid gland has
almost disappeared, the discharges of
pus from the bullet wound are CROWN.

retains its strength and tone, sufficient
quantities Of nourishment arc takel,

the fear of the occurrence of unforeseen
complications such as have marked the
progress of the case mp to this time, there
seems good reason to regard the Presi
dent again in fair way to recover.

PENSION RECOMMENDATIONS Colonel
Dudley, Commissioner of Pensions, has sub
mitted to the Secretary of the Interior a re-
commendation that Congress be asked to APP
plopriatc 500, 100000 for disbursement by
his Office during the next fiscal year lending
June 30 1888. in payment of annual and ac-
crued pensions, and also that an immediate
deficiency appropriation of $90,000000 be re-
quested; for the purpose of paying all arrears
of pensions to claimants whose cases have
bern or may be favorably adiudcated during
the current fiscal year. The Commissioner
estimates that 10000 pension claims will be
allowed this year, and that with further
increase in the clerical force of the Bureau as
many as $4,000 may be disposed of next year.
Fully two-thrds of the pending claims carry
arrears of pensions amounting to nearly
$500 per claimant, and the Commissioner
believes that the interests of the country will
be promoted by paying off the arrears as
rapidly as possible, even at the cost of bring
ing up the total pension disbursements to
S70, COO, 000 this year and St00,000,000 the
next, in, order to reduce the annual charges
upon the Treasury more speedily thereafter.

Some reports of tho defalcation of the
impression that the Mutual Benefit Life In-
surance Co., of that city, is heavy loser by
The bank S misfortnnes We are informed by
one of the officers, that it is probable the
Mutual Benefit will not lose cent. 1t bad
no deposits but a special one, ON which it
drew interest," and which, being special one,
it is claimed, will have precedence of claims
ofother depositors In any case, the loss will be
insignificant to company having $4,000, 900
surplus over all liabilities, and leaves it the
strongest company, liabilities being taken into
account, OF any in the country.
On this subject the N. Y. Daily stockholder
says =
A MEASUREMENT OF Losses BY THE NEW
ARK Misunderstanding to the failure, an
evening paper says that the Mechanics Bank
= held all the deposits of the old Mutual Life
Company, amounting to between 5000, 900
and 81, 100000" AS there is no young Mutual
Lille Company, and as the patriarch of that
na.ue is located in this city and keeps its de-
posts here, the inaocuraey in the name is
about ON par with the exaggeraton in the
amount. III the Mutual of this city was in
tended, 1t could have no more on deposit i'll
Newark than the collections of its local agent
there, which might possibly have been SO large
as $500 or 81, 400, but not much more. Ii the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of
Newark was intended to be PANIED, the amount
alleged to have been lost was also fiction,
for that company has not on deposit, in all
hanks combined. sum equal to the probable
alleged loss. At the beginning of the year,
companies of its class have larger deposits
than at any other time. The Mutual Benefit,
however, formerly kept an account of con-
siderable dimensions in the Mechanics Bank,
but in May lest the State Bank of Newark
made its principal depository and since
tben all femittances from its agents through
out the United States.have been deposited in
the latter bank. II, therefore, the remnant
of its former account still remains with the
Mechanics, the loss must be comparatively I'M
important. The Mutual Benefits assets ex-
coed $50, 600 900, and its surplus over all liza
hiliiies are nearly $4,000, 900. Both items
have been ascertained to be correct within
year by the Insurance Commissioners of Ohio.
New Jersey and Massachusetts, all three OF
whom made a thorough official examination
of the companys affairs, extending over its
whole history. In this it differs from the
failed bank. The examiners but recently left
the Mutual Benefit Office satisfied, while the
examiners only recently tried to enter the
bank officially and found its doors closed.
The one stood the test; the others failure
WIS precipitated by it.
