What Boynton Says.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-The 1ribu0e'S
Washington special says DIR. Boynton told a
reporter he thought yet the President would
ger well. In less tina II twenty days, l should
say, il there are no back sets he will be
we'll out of danger.
There is a general opinion throughout the
country that the physicians IL attendance
should administer solid food, but those who
hold this opinion know nothing about the
case. The President has not had much of
any appetite since be was shot. Certainly he.
has never been hungry. He has lost per-
hars eighty pounds since his wound was re-
ceived, but his emaciation IS confined mainly
to his BODY and limbs, his face shows little
signs of the suffering through which he has
passed. 1t. still retains its normal fulness and
his ewes are neither dull nor suDken. 70 see
his face alone one could not realize that lie
had been 50 sick In fact but little change
could be ngticed.g . rai .ss4s

The Presidents Case Hopeless.
Gloom at the White House.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 24.-Since there has
been no preceptible gain in strength during
The past three days, this they argue, indicates
septiHmia or some other ~intiammable in
~fiuences at work interfering with the process
of nutrition and neutralizing to a great ex-
tent the effects Of the stomach to supply the
system with food. The President they say,
should be gaining strength now to get through
another bad Sunday or meet another reverse
in the shape OF a new complication. instead
of that he is hardly holding his own and has
no reserve strength in case of necessity. They
fluid also another reason for Encouragement
in the behavior of the parotid swelling.
When the incision was made yesterday after
noon it was generally supposed although per-
haps without sufficient warrant, that 1t would
afford speedy ii not immediate relief and
from that source no further trouble was APP
pretended. There was consequently a feeling
OF disappointment to-day when 1t was found
that not only the swelling had not decreased
in size, but pus was forming in a number of
places here aud there in the gland and the
complications it seems will be even more Sc
rious than before the operation. These and
other like considerations together with the
absence of any pointedly encouraging assn
RANGES from the surgeons of the room to-day
have checked hopeful antIcipations which
were expressed yesterday afternoons. The
surgeons however, while conceding the grav-
ty of the situation, continued to- maintain
throughout the afternoon that the outlook
was no worse than. yesterday as this luw of
blood poisoning which is in the system may
be eliminated and thrown of. The doctors adj
INIT the patient is weaker now Lhan yesterday

A Cowardly Man and a Plucky Girl

NEW YORK, Aug. Pa somewhat sensa-
tional episode is reported TO have occurred at
the Ranstout Hotel, West Point, last night.
The story is that a young mar calling HIM
self Capt. Burslem and representing himself
as an officer in the British army, arrived at
the hotel three weeks ago, and registered as
from Windsor Palace, England. He had
brought a letter of introduction from Grace
Greenwood to the President and Governor
Field, and made many friends in New \ ork
among Wall Street brokers, by whom he had
been introduced at the Union Club. At the
hotel he met a Miss Scoiie, of San Francisco.
and daughter of a mine owner, who was
stopping at West Point with her mother. A
few mornings since Bursle entered into a
conversation with Miss Scofe and informed
the young lady point blank that she lied.
She at once laid the case before the manager
of the house with the statement that a person
possessing such characteristics should not be
tolerated by the guests. Burslem, however,
was too intima'ewiththe hotel proprietor and
too firmly supported by the male guests to
permit his being turned away. Last evening
Miss Scofie rel with her neither to a cadet
hop, and as they were ascending the steps
leading to the veranda the young lady met
Burslem who was leaning against a post
smoking. AS she attempted to pass he blew
a cloud Of smoke into her face and quickly
followed 1t up with another; at the same time
smiling at her discontinue. Miss Scote
appealed to the bystandels for protection, but
none being offered she struck the alleged
captain full in the face, knocking his cigar
from his mouth. She followed this up with
a second blow with her fist. Burslem raised
his hand containing a cane to ward off the
blow, when she caught the stick from his
grasp. Boiling with rage she struck him
squarely in the face twice, emitting him badly.
The captain, who has a false leg, was thrown
to the piazza i'll the melee. Later in the
evening Miss and Mrs. Scotie were, it is said.
requested to leav- tie hotel, which they did,
coming to New York. They are now at a
New York hotel. Burslem claims to have
received a wound in the Zulu war and was
with the Prince Imperial when the latter
was killed. He says he is a captain in the
British army and is 80 years of age. The
English army register shows only one officer
in the army who was commissioned in 1850,
and who is retired and now lives in India.
Burslem, it is said, has engaged himself to a
handsome and rich girl at West Point.

Peculation in the San Francisco
Mint.

AA111Us
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-EX.Governor
F Low of the Anglo-C California bank has
published a letter referring to mint affairs par
ticnlarly the conduct of the late superintend-
Ont Lagrange AMI Congressman Pages con-
nection with the affairs of that Institution.
Low was a member of the committee that
investigated Lagrange's administration. He
says the committee were morally convinced
OF the truth of many strong charges made
against Lagrange, but were compelled to ex-
clude information on those points, because
the testimony offered was not strictly legal.
Since however, Low has come in possession
of indubitable proofs that the Bank of Cali.
fornia was in corrupt collision with Lagrange
and on the night before the failure of that
bank several hundred were borrowed from
the refinery and sold. In addition to this
Low asserts that there had been jobbing in
the purchase Of mint supplies through which
the government lost a large sum of money.
The political ownership of the establish
ment is also pointed out by Low. Low says
the Anglo-C California bank enjoyed no favor
over other bullion depositors at the mint.
He says Dodge's adminisl ration has been
in every respect honorable and economical.
He says Page endeavored to fill the mint
with his followers and is severe in his criti-
cisms upon Pages course.
