HowGATE UNDER ARREST.
" For i Was u Captain i'm LincOln's
Armee,
And Now Please Tell Vie How Bee.''

And Now Please Tell We How Bee.,
DETROIT, MICH, Aug. 15.-Capt. Henry
W. Howgate, well known as resident of
Washington, and an ex-oflicer of the Signal
Service Department, and who has recently
gained wide notoriety by his connection
with q Treasury girl scandal in Washing
ton, was arrested mt Mount Clemens, Mich,
q summer resort near this city, to-day, on a
warrant charging him with embezzlement
from the Government to the amount of
more than $4,000 while he was discussing
officer in the Signal Service Department..
1t is well known that the bills of the
Western Union Telegraph Company against
the Signal Service Department are enor-
nous, coming in in amounts of $4,000
to $4,000 at one time, and it is charged that
during 1879 Capt. Howgate filled out vouch-
ers purporting to be for telegraphing bills, but
which were fraudulent, several times; once
to the amount of $12 800, and ut other times
for 81, 800, for "a, 900, $12, 100, or altogether
for $40500. Special Agent A. b. Newcomb,
who has been working up the case, says 1t
is probable many similar amounts will be
discovered as the investigation covers only
q short time, and there Is yet much ground
to go over. When interviewed on the sub
ject to-day the captain appeared to take his
arrest cody and said he could easily ex-
plain matters when the time came. He
was arraigned before United States Com
missioner Graves and waived examination,
and left for Washinton tonight. His wife
is with him. He has been ut Mount Glenn
ems under treatment for sciatica. At the
time of his arrest he was in very prcca-
rous condition. He is Michigan man,
having at one time been postmaster at
Rome, Mich, before the war.

The TallapOOsa.

The steamer Tallapoosa, which has been
thoroughly overhaulcd at the Navy.yard,
is now completed, and this morning the
officers and men attached to her went on
board. A description Of the work done on
the Tallapoosa was given in the columns of
The CRITIC several days since. Constructor
Samuel H. POok, who since he has been in
command of the construction department of
the yard has done so much to place the
Washington Navy-yard on level with the
other yards of the country, had entire
charge of the work and did it very
efficiently and economically. Mr.. Pook, by
his uniform kindness to the men employed
under him, has endeared himself to them
and won hosts of friends. 1t has not been
decided as yet when the Tallapoosa will
make her trial trim

GLOOM and UnensiIless.

An air Of gloom and uneasiness still per-
vades the White House, and, indeed, the
entire city, over the Presidents condition
No information of any change in the Presi-
dents condition since the noon bulletin has
been received up to o'clock. Among the
latest visitors were Justice Harlan, Repre-
sentative O'Neal, of Pennsylvania; Rep
resentative Thomas, of Illinois, and Col.
Irish. DIR. Reyburn states that all the ply
sicians regard the MONDAY bulletin as
indicating no material change since the
morning bulletin, and that they have no
reason for feeling discouraged. The mem
bers Of the Presidents family were again
treasured after the MONDAY bulletin that
there was no cause for alarm.
Nearing the End.
There is unmistakable evidence on all
sides of an increasing impression that the
President is nearing the end. Even at the
White House the anxiety is divided be-
tween hope and fear. Since the noon bulle-
tin was issued Private Secretary Brown
even has shown
Signs of Fading Hope.
The usual cheerful face bears a shadow of
gloom and u tremulous voice tries to cheer
up those who seek him for information. He
says, however, that Mrs. Garfield is resolute
rs ever. Gen. Swain, too, clings to his
hope and Col. Corbin says there is no use
