man. who thrust her presence upon all

became dissatisfied with the way Miller

the Doctor called Miller into Mrs.

uing tho assault, knocked him down

ments.
The President did not leave the ITALIA
pOosa Yesterday and renamed on board
the vessel. resting from the fatigue mel
dent to his reception on Thursday. The
reported rough weather of Cape Hatteras
and the natural inclination Of the men,
bers Of the party 10 seasiekneSs. changed
the plans already announced
In the morning kilograms OF inquiry
were sent to different points on the coast,
and indications Of rough weather being
reported. the TallapOOS9 remained at
anchor. The programme Of departure
arranged for Yesterday may be carried out
to-day. The movements Of the party
were not determined at late hour last
night and NAV be- changed but IL IS
probable now than instead OF going by
water. the President. secretary Chandler
aud Nessrs. Phillips and Miller viii leave
bv rail this afternoon and proceed direct
TO Washington. II i difficult 10 state
Just what the programme viii be. but II
will De chiefly governed by the weather.
The President on going aboard the Tai
lapOOsa Thursday night was fatigued
with the eXertiOns Of the day, and deter
mined 70 remain undisturbed. No call
ers were received during the day, and the
President. with Secretary Chandler. re-
manned inside or were seated under the
awning on the after deck. In the after
noon Secretary Chandler boarded a steam
launch and proceeded up the river as far
as the Central Railroad and Ocean steam
ship COmpany's wharyes, returning 10
the vessel without landing.
Late in the afternoon Mrs. Bolts and a
number OF ladies were roWed 10 the snip
and were received by the President,
while Messrs. Phillips and Miller were in
the CITY and were entertained at the resi-
dence Of Captain Bolts.
In an interview with Mr.. Phillips in re-
ference to the cause Of the delay in de-
parture and the TumOred Geographic cor
respOndence between Secretary Chandler
and Secretary Of War Lincoln at Fortress
Monroe. he stated TO a representative OF
F. the NEWS that no such correspondence had
taken place. and that the delay was due 70
the reported rough weather at sea and
partly to the indispOsitiOn Of the
President. He further said the
/ DELAY had no political significance what
I ever. The Presidents affairs at Washing
/ ton were so arranged that there was no
need OF his immediate presence, and a
prolongation Of the stay for few days
I would not interfere in any way with
affairs Of state.
On being questioned as TO the prOba.
/ bility Of political conference being held
I at Norfolk, Va. the Secretary replied
{ there was no necessity for such meeting
/ to be held. and that the rumOr Of Cabi-
net meeting was entirely grOundless.
The programme Of the movements OF the
party TODAY prior TO their departure had
not been arranged last night. 1t is prob.
able. however, the President will land
I from the TallapOosa, but no further pub
