THE GARFIELD CLAIMS.
The Physicians Bills Exhibited for the
First Time-Fat Fees.

The Physicians Bills Exhibited for the
First Tims-Fat Fees.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Garfield claims
commission will not be able to do anything for
a time, even If DR. Hamilson's bill, for which
tney nave been waiting, does turn up. Treas
urer Gllhlian, one of the members of the COM
mission, has gone out of town for some days.
and nothing can be done until he returns To-
day Treasurer Gilfllan sent to Judge Law
renee all the claims against the Garfield estate
yet presented, which have been in possession
during Judge Lawrence's absence in Ohio.
They included, Judge Lawrence found, one
new claim for large amount. 1t was that of
the Central railroad of New Jersey, fled by
Henry S. Little, receiver, for $500, the actual
cost of the material and labor involved in lay
ing the special track at Elberon during Gar
fields residence at the Francklyn cottage, as
well as the actual cost of running the special
trains ordered by Secretary Blaine and Presi-
dent Arthur The attorneys for the road in
forwarding the claim, say that it represents the
actual outlay, and that it would not be pre-
sented at all wereiit not for the fact that the
road is in the hands of receiver, who, regard
ing himself as trustee, does not feel at liberty
TO follow his own inclinations in the premises.
The doctors bills were exhibited today for the
first time. DIR. Bliss bill is for S25, 900, which
is at the rate Of about 1913 a day, including
one day after the death of Garfield when his
body was examined. 1t is accompanied by the
long explanation published in these dispatches
at the time DR.. Bliss presented It, DR.. Rey-
burns bill is for $40, 800 which is at the rate Of
$500 day. DR.. Agnew's bill is for S14,7C0,
which is at the rate of $500 day. Dr.iAgnew
says, in the note accompanying his bill, that
the amount asked for is the same as that which
he would have asked for performing like Sol
vices to anybody. For part of the time, he
says, he devoted all his energies to he case at
Mrs Garfeld's request. In order to comply
with her request he abandoned his practice
and his ofticisl duties as professor in medical
school. DIR. Lambs bill is for $1,000 for one
days work at the post mortem. Nothing has
been heard from DIR. Boynton or Mis- DIR. Ed
son. DR.. Hamiltons bill is expected to be the
same as DR.. Agnew's. These claims will have
to be scaled, or Congress will have to approprc-
has only $500 for the physicians.
