anticipate when the struggle will end. The sup
porters OF both Hoar and Dawes are more loyal

Another rumor has gained extensive circu!a-
ton tonight; In fact 1t gains more credence than
that concerning Mr.. Dawes, as Secretary OF the
Treasury. 1t is that Senator Boutwell, has deter.
mined to resign his seat In the Senate tomorrow
The report comes from Washington. The basis for
this rumor Is the recent "annihilatiOns he has re-
ceved from the press OF the state, as well as the
bitter speeches made at the Faneuil Hall meeting
