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 smoky haze, through which the
sun seemed to shine. as a red globe shorn of it's
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 tine officer
in charge of indications said that the haze was
due to forest fires. he thought, in Michigan and
the northwest. After spells 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
triIS.
THE SOUTHERN HURRICANE
As announced in the special bulletin from the
Signal office this morning, 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 secured
upon which to base certain predictions as to the
course the hurricane would follow. Its effects
have already been felt here in the form of a
pretty stiff eastery breeze. 1t 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.
kllbourne. alluding to the hurricane. 'our tenn
perature would have continued to go up. In
the west it is going up to-day"
VIEWS OF A COIORED PHILOSOPHER.
Last evening, in one of the Belt line cars, there
were several parties discussing the weather and
colored man. after attentively listening closed
the discussion by remarking: ''Itsno jokingmat-
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
mografy the whole into sort of gas I'm afraid
II we don't have cool weather soon. and the sun
nothing but pure gas composing the atmosphere;
and suppose, then, some id fool who don't
know anything should light match, won't it
set flre to the whole world? That's what I'm
afraid of"

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 1t
appears that Capt. HOwgates best friends are
among those most greatly deceived by him. His
transactions were so ceverly covered that they
detied any casual clerical inspection to detect
them. An attempt has been made to implcate
others in Capt. HOwgates alleged irreg-
ularities = notably Mr. Winner, the chief
clerk of the property division of the Signal
corps Mr.. Winner, (who is wel-known in
Washington and is greatly esteemed) in bis
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. Tie statement has been
made that he never really gave Capt. Howgate
$500 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 &'CO., 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.
Winners completely.
THE wRTTS OF GARNISHMENT
in the cases of the United States, w. B. Moses
and ]. b. Winner against Capt. HOwgate, con-
tinue to be returned. Nearly all of them are in
the case of the government. and generally small
amounts, mo silly for rent due, are returned.
CAPT. HOwGATE AND MISS BURREIL.
The counsel are reticent as to the where
abouts of Capt. .HOwgate. even if they know
where he is; for Within 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 18th street
house), to friend here who had a considerable
amount OF Capt Howgate's money, and she
obtained $1,000. and returning to New York
joined him there. The balance, amounting to
several hundred dollars, passed into the hands
oi one Oh his attorneys. and a small portion to
Mrs. Howgate. This is said to be the last heard
from him, and it is presumed that with Miss
bufreil, he has gone to parts unknown

Attempt to Rob Baltimore Bank.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 9.-An attempt was made
this morning to rob the vault of the Baltimore
Savings Bank at the corner of Cav and I'd
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
party arrested gave his name as Thomas Smith
and he is held for examination. The police are
on the trail of the others, one of whom has a
clerical appearance.

The Joint Discussion Matter i'm Virgins.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS SAY ABOUT IT.
The action of the democratic campaign mana
gers in Virginia i'm 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
iusters were getting the best OF the fight. The
democrats deny this. One of the leading demo-
cratic state canvassers told STAR 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 people may contrast the meetings of the two
parties and see for themselves the superior eli ar
acter. as a general rule. Of the citizens who are
supporting the democratic ticket. Besides this
he said: "Joint discussions attract crowd. and
the readjusters claim that half the crowd he
longs to them. An announcement that there

brings out slim crowd composed mostly az
colored people. We Qhe democrats) concluded
that We wouldn't assist any longer In supplying
audiences for the Mahonites to speak to- In addi-
ton to these reasons for stopping the joint dis
cusslons Is the fact that Cameron, the Mahone
candidate, had canvassed southwest Virginia
before Daniels was nominated. Daniels wanted
to go over that section. and 90 he has left Came.

THE ''BEAR PANIC" IN THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Sept. 9-The Posts financial arti-
Gle says: The ruling rate for call loans is per
cent, the exceptional rates being 4a6 per cent
Time loans are nominal. Prime mercantile
paper is 5a6 per cent. The tendency of the
bear panic" in the stock market will be. so far
as the money market is concerned, to increase
the demand for loans from the stock exchange.
US. bonds are Is 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 larger in
crease of commercial bills and only
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
ers IN stocks were plentiful, and every stock
which has been tending anywhere near fiat of
late became the subject of special interest Soon
after the opening Ohio and Mississippi common
stock was wanted at 391la4O, then the shorts
took fright and the price was steadily advanced
10 oo; 1t then fell back to 451a, advanced to
~. fell to 42A, and is 4211s as we write.
IL Is by no means certain that there
is anything like perfect corner in the stock
After Ohio and Mississippi the next largest
ADVANCE was in the shares of the Elevated
railroads, the outstanding short sales in
which are undoubtedly large. New York
Elevated advanced 81 per cent to 10S; Metro
pOlltan per cent to So Manhattan advanced
only "a. Then came Denver and Rio Grande,
which has been freely sold short. This advanced
as to 1925. Next Colorado Coal 81 per cent to
571a; then Texas and Pacific 81 to 81, and then
Louisville and Nashville 81 to 9711Ss, and then
Michigan Central 81 to IS. 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 speed. After this rise the market de-
clined. and has since been decidedly feverish.

RETURN OF SECRETARY KIRKwOOD-HE is VERY
HOPEFUL ABOUT THE PRESIDENT, AND SAYS
THE PATIENTS LUNGS ARE NOT AFFECTED.
Secretary KirkwoOd returned to Washington
rom Long Branch about noon to-day A STAR
reporter found the Secretary at his desk in the
interior department hard at work within an
hour after his arrival in the city. Hesad he felt
very hopeful about the President and that every
body at Long Branch, including the doctors,
told against the President at first fearfully, said
the Secretary. The President was naturally
weakened some by the trip, and the hot weather
was prostrating. Residents of Long Branch said
they had never experienced more oppressive
weather there. ''When there was a little breeze"
said the Secretary, ''it was warm. l could feel
the heat on my cheek. But yesterday a cool
breeze arose and the temperature fell. The good
effect upon the President was visible at once
1t revived him and he began to improve. He has
gained steadily during the last twenty-four
hours and all agree that if this pleasant weather
lasts and no new complication arises the Presi-
dent will be convaleScent in ten days. There is no
new danger the doctors have reason to fear and
the general opinion is that there will not be any
more hot weather at Long Branch this fall"
Secretary Kirkwood said the President has a
very good appetite now, and his food agrees
with him; that the President feels much better,
and talks as II he confidently expects to get
well. Speaking Of the rumor that the Presi-
blood poisoning, the Secretary said he had heard
the surgeons say on several occasions OF late
that they had examined the lungs and found
that they were all right. The Secretary remarked
that one Of the beneficial effects Of the seashore
Is that the President maintains whatever gain
he makes that while In Warrington whatever
he gained In the cool hours Of the night and
morning he would lose during the heat Of the
day; but with tho bfacdng atmosphere he now
