New YORK, August 20. The Posts late
Washington special says: DIR. Boynton left
the White House this =. NJ, for short re-
lief from watching. He was too much over
come with emotion to talk, the words choked
in his throat. From another source. how

he dies, for day or two.
The kilograms late special says: For an
hour or two this morning there really APP
peared to be grounds for believing that the
President would rally and he might live for
several days. 1t is now the opinion of all at
the White House that the end will come
during the rext "a hours. At noon Rev. Mr..
Power called on Mrs. Garfield and she at
once asked him to see her husband. This he
did and the President appeared to be pleased

Executive Mansion Secretary kirkwood
came out of the Cabinet q few minutes ago,
and in reply to a question by reporter of
the Associated Press stated that there has
been slight change for the better, The
breaking of the suppurating gland into the
cavity OF the ear, will, it is thought, afford
more relief than could be given in any other
way, and therefore is regarded as favorable
symptom. The discharge through that chan
mel seems to be free. The pus is thus far of
a healthy character, and the patients mind
this morning is clearer than last night, show
ing there has been no blood poisoning of any
consequence from the gland as yet. Taking
everything into consideration, | think there
Is reason for little more hope.

There Is a pretty well-grounded suspic-
ion arising that the Internal machine bust
ness with which Great Britain undertook
10 excite and alarm the world was sol.
emn humbug. In the first place. men
who enter into a conspiracy to blow up
vessels on the ocean do not advertise their
names or their purpose. The British gov
eminent suddenly dropped the subject,
and thorough investigation by our gov
eminent tailed to discover single clue to
the shipment Of the dynamite machines
from this country or to the persons who
were alleged to be concerned in it. All
these facts tend to show that the affair was
false alarm. Whether the trick was de-
vised by British detective agents. who
wanted to impress their government with
the necessity of keeping them under pay,
or the scheme Of few Irishmen to fright
en- and demoralize England. is not yet
known. But the truth will probably come
out amer awhile. Meantime people con-
templaiing trips across the ocean need
not give them up for fear of being hoisted
into the next world with Irish dynamite
Secretary WINDOWS action in directing
the prepayment of the registered 5 per
cen. bonds called for October l. will have
very important influence on the money
market. The Treasury receipts are now
so great that in the absence of large Treas
ury payments money is locked up at the
rate of about 81 .0oo. 200 a day. This order
OF the Secretary will have the effect to re-
lease at once some $50. O0o. 600. for though
six weeks are given holders TO present
their bonds. as they can get now exactly
as much rs in October the money will
doubtless be drawn out as fast as it can
be reinvested. In addition to this some
e1O, 000. 600 will be paid out for pensions
in . few days. and the interest falling due
between this and the first of October is
about $4,000. 900. This will release
about $50 900 900 in the next six weeks.
There is on the way or about to be shipped
from Europe some 5000, 900. which will
be added to our stock of available coin in
the next two weeks. II is, therefore,
pretty certain that money is to be cheap
and plenty in this country for some time
b come.

that when it is borne in mind that in cases Of

pounds, is alone sufficient to excite serious
apprehensions. We cannot but regard the

import, although it would be exaggeration
to speak of his recovery as beyond all hope.
A speedy recovery is necessary to avert the
