Garfield costs were 57 500, with 35 600 for physicians and 22 000 for funeral expenses. Rail travel dominated Garfield costs and similar patterns are expected for McKinley. Mrs McKinley likely to receive liberal treatment akin to Mrs Garfield. Vice President duties now fall to Senator Frye as acting VP, a role seen after Hobart and again after Roosevelt’s succession.

A new ship subsidy bill will be introduced, with differences from Frye and Hanna’s prior effort, aimed at broader acceptance. President Roosevelt maintains an 8 a.m. breakfast to speed up work before 10 a.m. callers arrive.
