Second Day of the National Regatta. SUMMARY OF YESTERDAY'S RAC TO-DAY —THE CONVENTION year, wen on application. AT MASONIC TEM- PLE. im] 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 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 seenes on the river during the day were very interesting. Many s converted temporarily into floating ba ms and refreshment “stands, were moored against the Virginia shore. The small ar on the river in pungies and row boats, kept in a parched and thirsty state, made fre- quent excursions to these places. THE TRIAL REATS | yesterday developed the fact that no stronger marsmen Was ever assembled at a na- | zatta. The records made will be hard | e champions of former years having 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 seulls—First heat—Appley and Holmes, of Pawtucket, R.I.; time 3g. 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 9:542¢. Third heat— Riley, of Mutual Club, Albany: time ~ Fourth heat—Schiverkart, of Centennial Club, Detroit; time 10:42. | Four-oared — Sheils— First heat — Hillsdale (Mich.) Club; time 8:203{. Second heat—Min- nesota Club, St. Paul; time 8:33. Third heat— Elizabeth Club. of Portsmouth: time 8:403(. Senior Singles—First heat—Buckley, of Port- land; time 9:323{. Second heat—Holmes, of Pawtucket; time 9:183{. Third heat—Laing, of Grand Trunk Club, Montreal; time 9:173/. The only misHap that occurred during the races was the capsizing of Sutton’s boat in the second heat of the junior singles. THE DISTRICT OARSMEN in the 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 | shai together. The racing will begin also at half-past two, an hour which | ‘e much more convenient for the general public. | THE NAUTILUS DOUBLE SCULLERS, upon whom so much mon been wagered 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 shall have places.

The ninth annual convention of the National sociation of Amateur Oarsmen was called to order by Secretary Saunier at Masonic Temple t evening. District Commissioner le a brief address of welcome. tion of Mr. 3 of the Colu ‘as 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. The motion 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 epare resolutions expressive of the deep feel- ak ofthe 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. ———___-e-______ 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 | piercing rays. When the sun went down the feeble rays of the moon struggled almost ineffec- tually to penetrate the haze. This morning the same haze appeared, though it was less appa- rent on account of the humidity of the atmos- phere. At the signal office 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 epells of long 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- ing and this morning was palpable to the nos- trils.

Owing to the fact | high winds have carried away the tele- | not et data could be H in predictions as ine would follow. Its etfects n felt here in the form of a pretty stiff e: 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-d VIEWS OF A COLORED PHILOSOPHER. Last evening, in one of the Belt line cars, there were several parties discussing the weather, and on the } course the hurri have already a colored man, after attent istening, closed | thediscussion by remarking: *It’sno 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 rarity the nitrogen and trans- | mozrafy the whole into a sort of gus. I'm afraid | if we don’t have cool weather soon, and the sun keeps on burning up the oxyzen, there will be nothing but pure zas composing the atmosphere: and suppose, then, some d—d fool who don't know anything should light a match, won't it | et fire to the whole world? That's what I'm afraid of.” . ee Capt. Howgate'’s Case. ‘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 tly deceived by him. His transactions were so cleverly covered that they detied any casual cleric: inspection to detect them. An attempt has been made to implicate pee di Mr. Wimer, (who is well-known in | ston and is greatly esteemed) in his | I relations with the qorps, had nothing to do personally with the drawing of checks, an only rarely drew one_at times when the proper clerk was absent. 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. That his assertion is correct is proved by the cancelled check drawn on Riggs &€o., in favor of Capt. Howgate, and endorsed by the Captain as well as his own private account books. The officers who have been engaged in examining the case of Capt. Howgate have not-found any reason for entertaining the slightest suspicion of Mr. Wimer’s complicity. THE WRITS OF GARNISHMENT in the cases of the United States, W. B. Moses and J.B, Wimer against Capt. Howgate, con- tinue to be returned. Nearly all of them are in the case of the government, and generally small amounts, mostly for rent due, are returned. CAPT. HOWGATE AND MISS BURRELL. The counsel are reticent as to the where-| abouts of Capt. Howgate, even if they know where he is; for #ithin a few days after he left here he was lost sight of. Capt. Howgate, on | leaving here, it is stated, remained several days | in New York, during which time he sent Miss Burrell, otherwise Mrs Todd, other wise Mrs. Gates (who occupied the 13th street | house), toa friend here who had a considerable | amount of ree Howgate’s money, and she | | obtained $1,200, and returning to New York | Joined him there. The balance, amounting to several hundred dollars, passed into the hands of one of his attorneys, ‘and a small portion to | Mrs. Howyate. This is said to be the last heard from him, and it is presumed that, with Miss Burrell, he has gone to parts unknown. : ——— A “BoLp, Nakep INrawovs Lre."”—Senator Cameron, in New York, on Wednesday, de- nounced as a “bold, naked, infamous lie” the | story that he had taken part at a political con- ference at General Arthur's house, and added: | “Lhaven’t been near General Arthur's house. | thought it would not be proper for me to call | there. not being an intimate frend: There never was any such meeting.

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 EvENtNa STAR. Lone Braycu, N.J., Sept. 9.—The official bul- letin 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 the 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 I don’t like that cough.” Dr. s too, feel worried about it.” it night the temperature here was delight- ful 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. Subsequently he spent an hour with Secretary Biaine. 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- which, if disturbed in any way by it, may roduce an internal hemorrhage which cannot reached. The inquiry on everybody’smind is.“Will there tes new complication, and, if so, what will it be? MRS. EDSON SAYS THE PRESIDENT HAS NO APPETITE. : Riding with Mrs. Edson from Ocean Grove to Elberon last night, she said to Tux Star repre- sentative “The President tsa 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 J don’t want anything.’ ” THE DISCONTINUANCE OF THE ENEMA hasstarted a rumor thatthe 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 doctors 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. | The West End had over eight hundred guests 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 iriquire how ‘the President is doing. All feel hopeful. [Second Dispatch.] DR. HAMILTON THINKS THE PRESIDENT WILL RE- HE EXACT LOCATION OF THE BALL D, Braxcu, N. J., Sept. 9, 12:24 p. m.—In examining the Presidents 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.

He says he had just left the President, and that he is comfortable and cheer- ful; pulse 98, temperature and respiration normal. This has been a good day for him. Dr. Boynton says it is foolish to say the Presi- dent is convalescent, because any slight thing might upset him, but that he is on the good way to convalescence and is deing well.

Sept. 9—9:15 a.m.—At the examination of the President at 8 a.m., the tem- rature was 98.5; pulse, 100; respiration, 17. The conditions of the parotid and wound are improving. He was somewhat wakeful during the night, but not restless, and slept sufficiently. The enemata and stimulants have been sus- pended during the past 36 hours. On the whole the past 24 hours give evidence of favorable progress, [Signed by Drs. Bliss and Hamilton.] THE PWESIDENT DOING AS WELL AS COULD BE EXPECTED—FIRES LIGHTED IN THE COTTAGE. Lone Brancu, Sept. 9—10:15 a.m.—General Swaim says the President passed a good night, and the general condition this morning is as good as could be expected. He ate some bird for breakfast and relished it. Fires have been started in the cottage, rendering it perfectly comfortable. Attorney General MacVeagh feels encoul and looks for continued improve- ment. There was no nausea during the night. ‘The thermometer is 74 degrees.

A gentle breeze is blowing from the sea, and the day isa decided improvement on the first three or four days of the week. The President's cottage has been rendered comfortable by means of grate fires, and the patient is lying under additional coverings, so that no discomfort will be expe- rienced by him should the temperature continue to decrease. The thermometer at noon regis- tered 75 degrees. The extremely hot weather during the past few daya brought large numbers of visitors here, and the hotels are well filled again. A threatened storm, however, has had the effect of diminishing the number of guests to-day, and a large number left the shore in the morning trains. Mr. Hildreth, of the West End hotel, is authority for the statement that while the recent hot weather was unusually extreme, for several years past, about the same time, ral days of uncomfortably warm weather. THE PRESIDENT ASKS TO SEE THE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET. Experon, N.J., Sept. 9, 1:25 p.m.—At this hour the President is resting quietly and appar- |" ently sleeping. His condition is as favorable as it was yesterday and no unfavorable symptoms have developed. He expressed a wish this morn- ing to see any of the members of the Cabinet who desired to call upon him. His pulse is 98, temperature 98.4, and respiration 17. WHAT ATTORNEY GENERAL MACVEAGH SAYS. Attorney General MacVeagh was met during the morning coming from his cottage, which is within a few rods of the President's quarters, and during the course of a conversation with a 2 bieearnld of the Associated Press, said, in substance, that he considered the outlook of the President's case very encouraging, and although there was every reason to believe that the fayor- able condition would continue, he desired to wait a week or ten days before entertaining the idea that he is convalescent. ‘At present,” said the Attorney General, “everything looks favor- able, and, of course, we hope that what has been gained will be maintained and added to, but the difficulty is, the President’s blood is in an unhea:thy condition, and until he recuperates sufficiently to overcome any bad effects of the blood poisoning it is not safe to be sanguine.” “What, in your opinion, isto be most feared at the present time ?” was asked. “1 think the lungs the most prominent fea- ture at thepresenttime. Inasmuch asthe patient is edetiahor! some trouble with his throat. it is possible that the lungs may be reached by the impurities originating from the parotid gland.” “Have you had any intimation that they have been affected? There is considerable anxiety manifested on that point.” “No, Ihave 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 lungs 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 7” “If improvement should continue a week or ten days it would then probably be time to con- sider that question.” “On the whole, General, you fecl more en- couraged than before you left Washington, do you not?” “Oh, yes. The general condition warrants that. There isno doubt but the President is much better.” waim was the next person with whom re reporter conversed. The dialogue was as follows: “How did the President pass the night?” “Very well, indeed.” “Has he partaken of solid nourishment this morning?” “Yes, he ate some bird this morning.” “Tt was stated late last night, General, that se President had been nauseated again. Is true?” 0, he has not been nauseated.” “You said last night that he experienced some trouble from the effects of over eating. In what way was he affected?” “He complained of feeling a little uncom- fortable, wlich had the effect of making him somewhat restless early in the night, andl am of the opinion that he has eaten too much, but | he had a very satisfactory and perfectly natural passage of the bowels, after which he was all right.” “How is the wound looking to-day?” “Everything looks better.” Some comment having been made about the Dr. Bliss said about noon to-day that he antic- ipated no trouble from the ball, and that there was ne unfavorable symptom in connection with it. i Attempt to Rob a Baltimore Bank. FRUSTRATED BY A WIDE AWAKE CLERK. Batimorg, Sept. 9.—An attempt was made this morning to rob the vault of the Baltimore | Savings Bank, at the corner of Gay and 2d | streets. Four men entered the treasurer's room, where were several customers of the bank, and one of them engaged the attention of the treas- urer by asking about investments, holding in his hand several United States bonds. Another then walked back toward the vault in a rear apartment, but his movement was observed by one of the clerks, who followed and arrested him in front of the vault. The other three re- treated hastily and thus far have escaped. The er arrested gave his name as Thomas Smith and he is held for examination. ‘The police are on the trailof the others, one of whom has a clerical appearance. ————— Ho Feenle Lan yrs Ae rrct te iaraetice| tn Boston, Mass., Sept. 9.—The Massachusetts supreme judicial court yesterday dismissed the petition of Lelia J.

NOT MUCH PLUNDER FOR THE BRIGANDS. Kansas Crry, Mo., Sept. 8.—The train robbery on the Chicago and Alton railroad on Wednes- day night is the all-absorbing talk of the hour. Nothing has yet been discovered of the robbers, | and all the posses have been heard from except that of Marshal Murphy, which left Independ— ence at 11:30 o'clock last night. Chief Speers, of this city, and his men returned at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, having travelled since midnight 7% miles in a southeasterly direction. No rob- bers were seen nor were there any signs of them. It is the talk of the streets to-night that the work was done by Kansas City men. John J. Treat, agent of the United States Express company, asserts that the thieves got less than $500 from his company. If that is so, the rob- bers got less than $3,000 all told, which will make only a small dividend for 17 men, which was the number engaged. A reporter returning at alate hour from the party in pursuit, says they suspect a number of young men in the neighborhood of Blue Springs as being the guilty parties. This afternoon Creek Chapman, John Bungler and a man named Watts, were arrested by the sheriff of Saline county in his | pursuit of the robbers. There was nothing to indicate their connection with the gang which perpetrated the deed, but they were arrested on suspicion. —.>__ Frightful Railroad Accident.

The tendency of the “bear panic” in the steck market will be, so far as the money market is concerned, to increase the demand for loans from the stock exchange. U.S. bonds are 34 higher for the extended issues and otherwise unchanged. State bonds are nominal. Railroad bonds are dull, but generally higher. The market for foreign exchange is rather heavy, there being a larger in- crease of commercial bills and .only a moderate demand for bankers’ drafts. At the stock exchange purely speculative con- siderations continue to dominate all others which influence the market. When business opened this morning rumors that there were to be corn- ersin stocks were plentiful, and every stock which has been tending anywhere near “flat” of late became the subject of special interest. Soon after the opening Ohio and Mississipp| common stock was wanted at 391/a40, then the shorts took fright and the price was steadily advanced to 60; it then fell back to 45!4, advanced to 474, fell to 423/, and is 42%¢'as we write. It is by no means certain that there is anything like a perfect “corner” in the stock. Atter Ohio and Mississippi the next largest advance was in the shares of the Elevated rail the outstanding short sales in which are undoubtedly large. New York Elevated advanced 61; per cent to 108; Metro- politan 4 per cent to ; ManMattan advanced only 3%. Then came nver and Rio Grande, which has been freely sold short. This advanced 434 to 925. Next Colorado Coal 344 per cent to 573g; then Texas and Pacific 214 to 54, and then Louisville and Nashville 2!¢ to 973g, and then Michigan Central 2}¢ to 95. ‘In fact, the rise in each stock may be said to have been measured by the short ‘interest in it, which is covering with all 5] After this rise the market de- clined, and has since been decidedly feverish.
