The Joint Matter in Virginia. WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS SAY ABOUT IT. The action of the democratic campaign mana- gers in Virginia in refusing to continue joint discussions with the readjusters has caused con- siderable comment, and in some quarters has been construed as an indication that the read- Justers were getting the best of the fight. The democrats deny this. One of the leading demo- cratic state canvassers told a StTan/re- porter to-day that the joint discussions were abandoned for several reasons. One reason this gentleman assigned was that the democrats desire separate meetings in order that the Roovle may contrast the meetings of the two parties and see for themselves the superior char- acter, a3 a general rule, of the citizens who are brings out a slim crowd, com ost: colored people. We (the democrats) concluded thas we wonlan’t cadet any longer in supplying audiences for the Mahonites to ikto. Inaddi- tion to these reasons for stopping tlie Joint dis- cussions the Dani to go over that section, and so he has left Came- ron to travel his own road.’ OUR AMATEUR OARSHEN. Second Day of the National Regatta. SUMMARY OF YESTERDAY'S RACES—A FINE FIELD TO-DAY—THE CONVENTION AT MASONIC TEM- PLE. The rowing yesterday lasted six hours, and when the white flag was dropped at dusk for the last time the spectators were tired enough, though all admitted that the rowing had been splendid. The crowd on the shore doubled after three o'clock, when numerous recruits were received from the departments. The scenes on the river during the day were very interesting. Many small boats and scows, converted temporarily into floating barrooms and refreshment stands, were moored against the Virginia shore. The small army of people on the river in panei and row boats, who were kept in a parched and thirsty state, made fre- quent excursions to these places. THE TRIAL HEATS yesterday developed the fact that no stronger array of oarsmen was ever assembled at a na- tional regatta. The records made will be hard to beat, the champions of former years haying fairly outstripped themselves. The result of the first seven races was given in the two editions of yesterday's Star. The following is a sum- mary of the winners and the times made by them during the day: ; SUMMARY OF YESTERDAY'S RACES. Double sculis—First heat—Appley and Holmes, of Pawtucket, R.I.; time 9:453¢. Second heat— Davis Brothers, of Athletic Club, New York; time 9:44. Junior Singles—First heat—O’Brien, of Dol- phin Club, Boston; time 10:373{. Second heat— Appley, of Pawtucket; time 9:543¢. Third heat— Riley, of Mutual Club, Albany; time 9:568{. Fourth heat—Schiverkart, of Centennial Club, Detroit; time 10:421¢. Four-oared —Sheils— First heat— Hillsdale Qlich.) Club; time 8:208{. Second heat—Min- nesota Club, St. Paul; time 8:32. Third heat— Elizabeth Club. of Portsmouth; time 8: A Senior Singles—First heat—Buckley, of Port- Second heat—Holmes, of land; time 9:323/. Pawtucket; time 9:18%. Third heat—Laing, of fontreal; time 9:1734. Grand Trunk Club, mishap that occurred during the The onl; Taces was the capsizing of Sutton’s boat in the second heat of the junior singles. THE DISTRICT OARSMEN inthe various races were in most cases greatly overmatched. In the four-oared shell race, the Analostan four were completely distanced, but had the Metropolitans of New York for com- pany. The Columbia club withdrew one of its crews, and the other was last in its heat. Mor- gan, of the Potomacs, made a good second in the junior singles. THE RACES OF TO-DAY, all being final heats, will be more interesting than yesterday's contests, as the pick of all the oarsmen will be pitted together. The racing will begin also at half-past two, an hour which is much more convenient for the general public. THE NAUTILUS DOUBLE SCULLERS, upon whom so much money has been w: in the pools, will have a place inthe double scull. final heat, as the executive committee has ruled that in this race both the winners of heats and second shallhaveplaces. This will give inthis Tace a fleld of four—the Pawtuckets, Mutuals, Athletics and Nautilus. HOW POOLS SOLD LAST NIGHT. Pools were selling on this race last night at the rate of 10 on the Pawtuckets to5 on the Nautilus and one on the fleld, including the Ath- letics and Mutuals. Other pools were sold as foliows :—Four-oared—Hillsdale, 25; field, 13. Senior singles—Laing, 50; field, 55. Eight- oared—Metropolitan, 20; Potomac, 15; Narra- gansett, 17. Six-oared—Eureka, 15; field, 11. THE POOL SELLING TO-DAY. There were lively times in the pool roomatthe Imperial to-day. In the four-oared race the Hillsdale crew were barred in the pools, and the Elizabeth and Minnesota were selling even. In. the pair-oared race, Albany was selling even against the field. The Pawtuckets still led in the double sculls at the rate of 25 against 20 for the field. The Metropolitans, in the “eighths,” sold for 10 against 5 for the Potomac’s, and 5 for the Narragansetts. The Eurekashad thecallinthe sixes, though few sales were made. Appley sold even against the fleld in the Junior Singles, and Laing was a favorite at the same odds in the Senior Singles. A Srar reporter asked a know- ing looking sportingman, who was keeping close to the pool box, why the Athletics sold so low in the double sculls, after making sucha mag- nificent exhibition in the trial heat yesterday. “You see,” said the sportingman, looking still more knowing, ‘these Canadians came down here well-lined to back their men. The Athletics haye no backers here, but, to use a garablers’ phrase, at the rate they selling its a good bet even if a man loses.” THE OARSMEN could be seen in all parts of the city this morn- ing looking at the sights. A little after noon they began to assemble at the boat houges. It was feared this morning that the regatta would be interrupted by rain. Official Program for To-day’s Races.

The ninth annual convention of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen was called to order by Secretary Saunier at Masonic Temple at 8 o'clock last evening. District Commissioner Dent made a brief address of weleome. On mo- tion of Mr. John W. Corson Mr. Charles A. Coon, of the Columbia, was chosen president of the convention, and Mr. Saunier was continued as secretary. The roll of membership was called, when it appeared that there were fifty-eight clubs belonging to the association. The report of the executive committee suspending the Nep- tune, of Philadelphia, was taken up and ap- proved. Mr. Garfield, of the Mutual, moved that a committee of three, consisting of W. R. Hills, of the Albany, George H. Lesher, of the Detroit, and A. T. Brice, of the Columbia, be appointed toreport the names of three members of the executive committee for three years, in place of President 0. L. Remington, of the Nar— ragansetts, W. H. Allen, of the Detroits, and B. L. Keyes, of the Philadelphia. whose terms of office expired with the convention. Themotion was unanimously adopted and the committee retired. When it returned it reported Messrs. Remington and Allen for re-election as mem- bers of the executive committee and John W. Corson, of the Analostans,in place of B. L. Keyes, it being thought right that Washington. should be represented. Messrs. Garfield, Stev- ens and Keyes were appointed a committee to prevere resolutions expressive of the deep feel- ing of the convention regarding the attempted assassination of the President. The report of the executive committee suspending George Gaisel, of the-Metropolitans, of New York, was confirmed. a Schrenkeisen, Schiele; 2, wel; ————_+2-______ The Weather. , A SMOKY HAZE FROM THE FOREST FIRES OF THE NORTHWEST—A HURRICANE COMING The peculiar appearance of the sky and the sun and the moon yesterday afternoon and evening attracted much attention. The sky was overcast with a smoky haze, through which the sun seemed to shine, as a red globe shorn of its jiercing rays. When the sun went down the feeble rays of the moon struggled almost ineffec- tually to penetrate the haze. This morning the same appeared, though it was less appa- rent on account of the humidity of the atmos- phere. At the signal offite to-day the officer in charge of indications said that the haze was due to forest fires, he thought, in Michigan and the northwest. After spells of 300%, drought, such as we have had, said the officer,the smoke, not being washed out by the rain, will extend from the northwest over the eastern states. The haze had been noticeable in the New England states for several days, but yesterday it cleared away. The smoke in the atmosphere last even- ae and this morning was palpable to the nos- ls. THE SOUTHERN HURRICANE. As announced in the special bulletin from the Signal office this morning, a hurricane prevails on the North Carolina coast, Owing to the fact that the high winds have carried away the tele- graph line not enough data could be secared upon which to base certain predictions as to the course the hurricane would follow. Its effects haye already been felt here in the form of a pretty stiff easterly breeze. It will probably bring us heavy rains, but not soon enough, it is thought, to interfere with the regatta this even- ing. “If it had not been for that,” said Lieut. Kilbourne, alluding to the hurricane, ‘our tem- perature would have continued to go up. In the west it is going up to-day.” VIEWS OF A COLORED PHILOSOPHER. Last evening, in one of the Belt line cars, there were several parties discussing the weather, and a colored man, after attentively listening, closed the discussion by remarking: “It’s no joking mat- ter, this extraordinary hot weather, for they tell me that the sun has so dried up the oxygen of the atmosphere as to rarify the nitrogen and trans- mografy the whole into a sort of gas. I’m afraid if we don’t have cool weather soon, and the sun keeps on burning up the oxygen, there will be nothing but pure gas composing the atmosphere; and suppose, then, some d—d fool who don't know anything should light’a match, won't it set fire to the whole world? That's what I'm afraid of.” ——a ee Capt. Howgate’s Case. S MR. WIMER’S LOSS BY HIM. No evidence has been found in the Howgate case to indicate a conspiracy between him and any other person to defraud the government. It appears that Capt. Howgate’s best friends are among those most greatly deceived by him. His transactions were 80 cleverly covered that they defied any casual clerical inspection to detect them. An attempt has been made to implicate others in Capt. Howgate’s alleged irreg- ularities—notably Mr. Wimer, the chief clerk of the property division of the Signal corps. Mr. Wimer, (who is well-known in Washington and is greatly esteemed) in his official relations with the corps, had nothing to do personally with the drawing of checks, and only rarely drew one _at times when the proper clerk was absent. The statement has been made that he never really gave Capt. Howgate $900 to invest for him in stocks, as alleged in a suit brought by him against Howgate.

BANK ROBBERS FOILED IN BALTIMORE. > From Long Branch To-day, THE PRESIDENT HAS A BAD NIGHT—NAUSEA AT- TRIBUTED TO OVER FEEDING AND BAD COUGH- ING SPELLS—GOOD REPORTS FROM THE DOC- TORS TO-DAY. Special Dispatches to Tae Evestxc STAR. Lone Brancu, N.J., Sept. 9.—The official bul- Jetin of this morning shows no unfavorable turn in the President's case, although the reports are that it does not sufficiently set forth the bad night which tlie patient passed. While he did not vomit during the night, his stomach was somewhat nauseated through what is attributed to over feeding. DR. HAMILTON SAID to Tue Star representative to-day that while he felt satisfied with the progress of the case, the President was still a very sick man, and the public must not yet build hope up to absolute confidence. At intervals during the day and night the President had coughing spells, but the doctors say it is not caused by any trouble with the lungs. Mrs. Edson, who went to New York this morning, said: “I don’t like that cough.” Boynton said: “I, too, feel worried about it.” night the temperature here was delight- fal and the day thus far is exceedingly pleasant. SENATOR LOGAN called at the Elberon soon after half-past 6 this Morning, and had a talk with Dr. Hamilton. Sibestucntly, he spent an hour with Secretary e. THE REPORTED CHANGE OF LOCATION OF THE BALL. A report afloat, which is denied, is that the removal of the President here changed the posi- tion of the ball, and it is now near the iliac art- ery, which, if disturbed in any wa: ices may Abas =~ internal hemorrhage wi cannot Teacl The inquiry on everybody's mind is,“Willthere ee new complication, and, if so, what will it MRS. EDSON SAYS THE PRESIDENT HAS NO APPETITE. Riding with Mrs. Edson from Ocean Grove to Elberon last night, she said to THE Star repre- sentative: “The President isa very sick man. His cheeks are sunken and there is but little -flesh on his face. His fingers are bony, with the tight skin drawn over them. If he can only get an appetite where he now is I think he will live, but he must get an appetite. The President is an inteiligent patient and eats because it is ne- cessary he should eat; but he does not relish his food. We often indulge him in dishes he asks for, and when they are prepared he will say, ‘I guess I don’t want anything.’ ” THE DISCONTINUANCE OF THE ENEMA has started a rumor that the continuance threat- ened to break down the patient’s bowels. This Dr. Bliss denies. THE REPORTS FROM THE DOCTORS ALL SATISFAC- TORY. At Elberon all the reports which come from the docters continue to be satisfactory. The fever has been abated, and what now is needed to restore the patient is an appetite and strength. This, it is thought, will come soon. CROWDED HOTELS AT LONG BRANCH. Long Branch and Elberon are still crowded . last night; cots had to be placedin the halls to accommodate the guests, THE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET still remain here, with the exception of Secre- tary Kirkwood, who left yesterday. The mem- bers call twice each day to inquire how the President is doing. ll feel hopeful. [Second Dispatch.] DR. HAMILTON THINKS THE PRESIDENT WILL RE- COVER—THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE BALL DETERMINED. Lona Braxcu, N. J., Sept. 9, 12:24 p. m.—In examining the President’s body to-day, Dr. Ham- ilton discovered the exact location of the ball. It is lodged in one of the muscles of the groin, near the iliac artery. Uponpressing near where it is located, the President said it gave him some pain. Dr. Hamilton told Mrs. Garfield. this morning that he was almost afraid to tell her how con- fident he was beginning to feel that the Presi- dent would recover. [Third Dispatch.

There is considerable anxiety manifested on that point.” “No, I have not. To the contrary, we know his heart is all right; and up to this time there are no indications which tend to show that the i are not in healthy condition.” “How long, in your judgment, should the favorable symptoms continue before it would be | safe to entertain the idea that the patient iscon- valescent?” “If improvement should continue a week or ten days it would then probably be time te con sider that question.” “On the whole, General, you feel more en- couraged than before youleft Washington, do you not?” “Oh, yes. that. much The general condition warrants There isno doubt but the President is better.” ‘INTERVIEW WITH GEN.
