THE EXPENSES OF GARFIELD's ILLNESS

WASHINGTON, March 22.-There seems to be
an impression respecting The unadnsed accounts OF the
expenses Of the illness OF the late President, leading to
the expectation that their audit by the committee ana
the ordering Of their payment by the House viii neces
arv involve discussion the items of the expenses
incurred by ex-Sergeant-atArms Thompson. This Is
mistake Az Of Mr.. Thompsons bills have been paid,
under the authority of resolution unanimously adopted
Inv tbe Unuse on February T. Among the vouchers to hs
accounts were the bills for wines and other liquors,
lunches etc. respecting which much Lac recently be-
said The accounts which remain unadjusicd are bills
for the services surgeons and attendance medicines
and surgical supplies, icecoolns apparatus carriage
hire, underakers III, etc; Besides the amount recO-
mended by majority of the committee for the surgeons
nurses etc. the items aggregate about 81 OoO ana while
m the opn members of the committee some
of the charges eXravagan there is nothing In the
items to Hcite criticism.
IL is understood that Mr.. Blackburn who Is member
of the committee strongly Objecs to the allowances
recommended for of the surgeons and VIII crlticse
them severely.

WAsnINGToN, March o." Do you credit the re-

spondent OF Senator Jones, of Nevada to-day.
"No, do not" replied the Senator; " some OF our
people are apprehending veto, but am not. My
confidence does not spring from anything the Presi-

but from nv knowledge of the opinions he enter

The veto power, as understand it, may properly be
exercised when in the opinion of the President the

President thinks that the term ftwenty years In the

and demanding that it be broken of at once. Like,
wise that. when Minister Hurlbut finally reported
to Mr.. Blaine Shepherds S250,O0O offer, the Secre-
tary dismissed MIR Shipherd in disgrace and threat
ened him with prosecution.
1t is difficult to see how any fair-minded person
can note these documentary evidences OF MT.

improper favors to the Peruvian Company, or Inc
still more incredible story that he told by Ship
herd in July of the offer to Hurbut and did not re-
buke it until Hurlbut himself reported 1t In No
vember.
Mr.. Shipherd gave an interesting statement OF
the incorporation of the Peruvian Company anu h

of the committee began the inquiry, that they are
