The services of prayer for the President, so well inaugurated in the morning, yesterday, as reported in Tue Star, were continued last evening in several churches. A notable service was that held by THE ORTHODOX HEBREWS, in their synagogue, corner of 6th and G streets. The Rey. Dr. Samuels officiated. and read in the Hebrew language part of the Psalms of David, so arranged that the initial letter of each verse formed an acrostic upon the name of James Abram Garfield. The usual afternoon service was then read, and Mr. A. S. Solomons, who ed at short notice, delivered what he termed a sermonette. He took for his - | Subject. “Prayer and its Relations to Every- Day Life.” He made allusion to the good rea- son the Jews had for appealing to the God of » | Israel to spare the life of their true friend, who had but a few days before he was assassinated requested his Secretary of State to prepare a | dispatch to one of the ‘great powers of Europe, discussing in a broad, liberal way that freedom of conscience which Jews here so fully enjoyed, and which they know so little about, with few exceptions, abroad—a dispatch which goes direct to the bottom of things in a truly Ameri- can way, and which will make European diplo- mats rub their eyes and wonder ff they are en- tirely awake. A fervent prayer by Mr. Solomons | closed the exercises. AT FOUNDRY M. E. CHURCH & well-attended meeting was held last evening, for the purpose of prayer for the President. The meeting was conducted by Rey. W. F. Ward, | pastor of the church, who, after a brief prayer, | read from the II. Kings, 20th chapter. Ad- dresses and prayers were then made be Chap- lain Gonzales, U.S.N.; N.S. Fort, Chaplain Kramer, Mr. G. M. Ashley and Brother Hilton. During ‘the evening appropriate hymns were rendered, under the leadership of Mr. Frank Wilson. At the conclusion of the services the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Mc- Kenney, and the audience dispersed. DR. CHESTER’S CHURCH, The services at the Metropolitan Presbyterian chureh (Capitol Hill) were conducted by the pastor, Dr. Chester. “ Addresses were made by Dr. Chester and Rey. Wm. J. Van Doren. THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES. Services were held in all of the Catholic churches yesterday morning, mass being said by the pastors. At St. Patrick’s church Rev. Father Walter stated that he would have solemnized high mass had he received timely notice. He spoke feelingly of the affliction upon the family and nation, and in his references to the Chief Magistrate, alluded to him always as “our poor President.” He asked all the religious societies connected with the church to offer special ues during the entire month of September for the President's recovery.

PRESIDENT REMINGTON ON THE COURSE, AND THE PROSPECTS OF THE REGATTA. A Star reporter asked President Remington of the N. A. A. 0., this morning, how the oars- men liked the course. “First rate,” replied Mr. Remington, ‘I have not seen the course yet, but Mr. Stephens of the executive committee, who has gone over it care- fully, and he is one of the most experienced oarsmen we have, saysthe course isthe best w e ever had.” . “What are the prospects of the regatta?” “The prespects are splendid. While the oars- men may not be so numerous, the represen- tation so far as quality goes, is ali we could ask. The races will be very fine. I think the senior singles, especially, will be very interesting.” “Then the oarsmen like Washington?” “Yes. I would be in favor of having it here next year. We appreciate the fact that the cir- cumstances attending the President's sickness, all had an unfavorable influence here regarding the regatta.” ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE RACES ON THE POTO- MAC TO-MORROW. All of the oarsmen who will take part in to- morrow’s regatta are in the city. The scenes on the river last evening were worthy of regatta day itself. Nearly all of the oarsmen took ad- vantage of the fine evening to row over the course. The visiting oarsmen express them- selves as well pleased with the course. The executive committee of the National Associa- tion will meet at the Arlington, at 3 o'clock, this afternoon, when contesting oarsmen will draw for positions. Colors will be assigned and other details for the two days rdcing will be completed. ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE REGATTA. No more than four contestants will row in one Tace. When there are more than four entries for one prize they will be divided into squads of four, who will row together. They will be des- ignated each by a handkerchief of white, blue, red and buff. worn round the forehead of the bow oarsman or the single sculler, as the case may be. At the end of the course will be a flag-staff, at the top of which will be displayed the colors of the winning boat as soon as it crosses the line. The time be marked ona blackboard in the referees’ boat. Each oarsman will keep his handkerchief as a souvenir of the occasion. It will take four races to decide who will take the four-oar prize; two for the double, three for the double sculls, and about eight for the single sculls. These deciding contests will be rowed the second day. The course will be one and a half miles long, perfectly straight, the finish being at G street. The Wastf&gton shore will | be lined with a row of red flags and the Virginia | side with white flags, one-eighth of a mile apart, | and at each end of the course, on both sides of | the river, there will be larger flags of red and white. At the starting point two scows will be stationed having a surface of 71 by 28 feet, and covered with canvas. On it will be five dozen camp chairs and twelve easy mattresses, for the use of the contestants, who must be on hand at the precise moment they are wanted. At the finish there will be onescow oy fixed. The dropping of a flag will be the signal for the time keeper, Mr. Foster, of New York, who, with one stop-watch, will time each boat as it comes in wit! perfect exactness. He will be on the re- ferees’ boat. E. D. Hartley, which will keep along with the contestants the entire distance. The tug Fanny Gilbert will be the press boat, and will accompany the referees’ boat. The Sec- retary of the Navy has tendered the steam launch Black Jack to Major Brock, chief of police, for the use of himself and his force, who will keep the course, 475 feet wide, clear for the races. The local regatta committee have chartered the steamer Mary Washington for the use of the general public on race days. The tickets are placed at the rate of 50 cents each, and only a limited number will be sold. Subscribers to the expenses of the regatta wili be accommodated on the steamer Jane Moseley. THE REGATTA COMMITTEE assembled at three o'clock this afternoon at the Arlington for the purpose of selecting judges, referees, designate colors, positions, &c. Sec- retary Sarmier, who returned to the hotel from the river this afternoon, said to a Star re- porter: “You can tell your people that they will See to-morrow the best boat races they ever saw in their lives. None but the best crews have come here. The poor ones have been left out.” The races will probably begin each day at 1:30 p.m., but the time will be decided this after- noon. The heat races, it is thought, will be rowed to-morrow. A meeting of representatives of the press will be held this evening, at 1341 F street, to arrange about admissions to the press tug. ——— The Inability Question. SENATORIAL VIEWS UPON FF. ‘To the Editor of Tae EvENmne Star: As my name has been connected with the “in- abiiity” question I desire that my view of it should be accurately stated. There has been great confusion of language and thought on this subject. I first affirm that under our goy- ernment there cannot at any time be two Presi- dents. That when the Vice President takes the office of President he ceases to be Vice Presi- dent and cannot preside over the Senate. The constitution of the United States, unlike the constitution of some of the states, does not provide for the second officer in the government acting in the place of the first in case of in- bility. The constitution speaks for itsel “In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, romenavon or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice Presi- dent.” Is it not clear from this language that the office of President in case of inability de- volves on the Vice President under the same conditions and with the same consequences as in the case of removal, ition or death? The last clause of the section confirms this view. And Congress may provide by law for the case of re- moval, deat], resignation or inability, both of the President and Wice omc sealers what officer shall as President, anc cl until the disabiity the one case the office absolutely devolves on the Vice President, leaving the former incum- bent cepomcened of his official character and power the same as if removed. In the other case Congress is empowered to designate an officer who shall act as President until the disa- bility is removed, or a President shall be elected. Kirby and W. A. Sanborn, of the Narragansett | Occupation of a Street for Business Purposes. WANT OF HARMONY AMONG DISTRICT AUTHORI- TIES. This morning in the Police Court, Messrs. Jas. L. Barbour and John A. Hamilton, of the firm of Barbour & Hamilton, were charged with ob- structing the sidewalk on B street, between 6th and 7th streets northwest. Several merchants doing business on Pennsylvania avenue and B street testified that this firm drive their teams across the sidewalk, to load and unload mer- chandise, and obstruct the sidewalk nearly ali the time. Mr. Eugene Carusi appeared for defendants, and said to the court that his clients pur- chased this building on Pennsylvania avenue, which runs back to B street. and fitted it up at great expense, and have a permit from the En- gineer Commissioner to occupy thi The court said that the streets and ave are dedicated to publie use, and when a privat individual or firm go so far as to absorb all tle | use of the street. it is a question | whether the Commissioners can give the permi: | sion. There isan ordinance against it, and just how far the Commissioners have power to repeal the Jaw is another question. It has been conceded that the Commissioners can give a permit for the temporary use of a street, but in his opinion | the District authorities cannot give any one the | free and uninterrupted occupation of a street. Mr. Padgett said that there was a statutory | law ing the Engineer Commissioner certain | control over the streets, but to what extent he did not know. The court said there should be some harmony between the District authorities, because Messrs. B. & H. have a permit from one department for the occupancy of the street, and are prosecuted by another. The ease was continued until they can have a hearing before the District Commissioners. ee The Courts. Equiry Covrt—Ju Wylie. Yesterday, Fowler agt. Dick; auditor's report confirmed. ‘Power agt.

MEETING.—The common coun- cil of Alexandria met last night, President Doug- lasin the chair, with 9 members, and passed to its third reading a bill prepared 'by the corpora- tion attorney, authorizing the mayor to desig nate, from time to time, such streets as might be used by the Southern Bell Telephone Co., to erect poles; but declaring that poles shall be erected on no square except where the owners refuse to allow the wires to be attached to the houses. The company to pay ) per annum tax, and the act to be repealable at the pleasure ofthe council. The charter requires a two-third vote (12) to passa bill upon the evening of its introduction, and so, pending the passage of the bill, the council adjourned. Another meeting will be held this week. THB ALEXANDRIA TELEPHONES.—The coming telephone exchange will not be the first intro- duction of telephone service here. Several ae ago Dr. G. W. Phillips, manager of the ashington and Alexandria ferry, introduced the telephone into Alexandria at the ferry office, connecting the foot_of King street with the foot of 7th street. The Alexandria ship hake and the Agnew Co.’s coal wharves and the estern Union office are also connected with Washington by telephones, and the Midland office, on King street, is connected by telephone wires with the railroad depot on Henry street. There was also atelephone from the residence ute i. nen +o ae M. E. church South. is expected that before the middle of October there will be fifty telephones in use here. No Dvuew.—tThe contest for the Beckham cup, which led to a dispute that resulted in a declina. tion by the team of the National Rifles to take part in the second match, awoke, also, a diffi- culty here. Mr. Hubert Snowden having com- mented on the ill-sh ‘ooting of the Alexandria team was replied to by W.K.Davidson.one of the team, in a correspondence which grew tart.
