McKlaley'd Doctors' Bills.

Congress will pay the funeral expenses of President McKinley, including the doctors' bills, over which there has

been so much contention-

An item is to he inserted in the Urgent Deficiency bill, now under .consideration by the House Committee on Appropriations. which provides for an appropriation of $50,000 to defray the expenses attending the death and burial of

the President.

The committee has gone fully into the' question of compensation to the doctors who attended the wounded Fjtecutive and has decided that, notwithstanding the physicians declined to submih^ hill for their respective services, they are entitled to liberal fees for their efforts

to save the President's life.

It is understood that an agreement has been reached whereby $31,000 of the amount to be appropriated shall go to the doetors and the remainder will be used to defray the funeral expenses. Friends of the dead President and others interested in the sabject have been consulted, and it is believed that the allowance thus made is not only liberal apd reasonable, but will be entirely satisfactory to all concerned. Statements of all the expenses incurred were submitted to the committee, and the amount med will cover all obligations of the
