THE GARFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.]
Washington, Nov. 5.—The Finance Committee and the Committee of Ways and Means of the National Garfield Memorial Hospital held a meeting this evening and received an encouraging report from Mr. Solomons, chairman of the latter committee.
