Garfield, Years Salary Of the Presl.

Legislative Experts Looking Up the Pre-.
cedents in the Two Similar Cases.

Washington. D. C. Especially When
Congress meets in December one of the
first acts will be the introduction of a
bill by Senator Foraker to pay Mrs. Nc
kinley years salary, or $4,000, on her
late husbands account. This will be
following a precedent established in the
cases of Presidents Lincoln and Garfield.
At first it was agitated to pay her the
salary of the unexpired term of Presl-
dent Mckinley, but it was decided to
follow precedent, especially as Mrs. Nc
Kinlev has no children. 1t will be re-
called that in the case of Mrs. Garfield
a popular subscription was also opened,
and the handsome sum of 5000, was
quickly realized and turned over to the
widow. 1t is also suggested that pen
sion of $1,000 per year should be voted
to Mrs. Mckinley. This will also be in
line with previous legislation in such
cases.
The question of compensation for the
surgeons and physicians who treated
President Mckinley during his fatal i'll
ness is also being mooted. In this case

gered 80 days. A board of audit finally
agreed to compensate the surgeons and
physicians in the following proportions:
DR.. Bliss, Sc, 500; Drs. Agnew and Ham
ilton, $4,000 each; Drs. Reyburn and
Boynton $4,000, and DR.. Susan B. Ed
son, $4,000 The board also allowed
different parties 5000 for services and
supplies. This included $3.50 to the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, and
$I,I62 to c. Jones, of Elberon. Extra
compensation was allowed to certain
government employees and the total ex-
penditure was $57,ooo 1t is estimated
here that an appropriation of more than
$Ico,ooo will be asked from Congress.
DR.. McBurney's bill is expected to be at
least $4,000, and the other physicians
will file claims in proportion. President
McKinley's fatal illness lasted only eight
days, but the Legislative experts believe
that the bills presented will be twice as
large as similar service rendered 20
years ago during a period ten times as
long
