Commissioner Biddle's View Of Pro-
posed Transfers.

Relative to the Senate bin designed to
transfer the control Of the Government

Hospital and Asylum and the Washington
Hospital for Foundlings to the Interior
Department, Engineer Commissioner Bid
die has made the following report: Il unite
with the other Commissioners in recon-
mending that the bill be not enacted into
law. as l deem it important to preserve the
unity Of the new system inaugurated by the
appointment of the board of charities,
whereby all such institutions shall remain
under the general supervision OF the board.
l wish 1t to be distinctly understood that
this vote Is not to be considered as an op-
position of founding hospitals in general
or of this one in particular. l believe 1t to
be a very worthy charity. in keeping with
modern methods of dealing with the prob
lem to which 1t has reference. l also do
not wish to imply that l think congress
sional aid should be withdrawn"

sence to which he might otherwise be en-
titled. and that he be informed that he

which will accrue to their good health and
