Arrest.
AFTER THIRTEEN YEARS.

Crimes.

Aided by His Daughter He Fled With
the Woman Who Had Ruined
His Life.
OW HE MADE HIS Escape.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Captain Henry
HOwgate, formerly Chief of the Weather
Bureau at Washington, was arrested in
this city to-day on charges of forgery and
the en- bezzement of S360,O00. committed
in 1878 and 1879 Tie arrest is the result
of search which has occupied the atten-
ton of the United States Secret Service
over thirteen years.
HOwgate was arrested in 1880 in Wash
ington, but having OBJ aimed permission
TO 60 70 his room to dress, he escaped
through window and has since baffled
all attempts at recapture. With Howgate
there went notorious woman of Wash
iagton, for whom it is alleged be robbed
the Government.
After having searched nearly the whole
country for HOwgate ex-Shetiff Drummond
received information that the fugitive was
dealer in old clothes and pamphlets in
this city. Every bookstore was visited by
detectives, but without success.
Finally an officer was detailed to watch
the auction sales for Howgate. About two
weeks ago it was supposed that the fugi-
tive was keeping an old bookstore at 81
Fourth avenue under the name of Harvey
Williams. Not being sure of the man 5
identity the authorities in Washington
were asked to send a man to the city who
was acquainted with HOwgate and a clerk
IN the War Department, who had been for
merly associated with Howgs telin the War
Bureau was sent here. He met H0wgate.
but at first was uncertain of his identity,
as the latter had changed considerably In
thirteen years. After engaging him in
conversation the clerk at length became
convinced that thAman was Howgate and
a warrant for his arrest was procured from
Commissioner Alexander.
Mr.. Drummond served the w8rrant TO-
day IN person. He met Howgate coming
out OF a store at Fourth avenue and Tenth
street and said, How are you, Captain
Howgate? ?"
The latter started, but soon gained his
eompOsure, and asked Mr.. Drummond
what he wanted. The detective told him.
and he answered, Gall right; the jig is
up. l am Captain Howgate."
On being srraigned before Commissioner
Alexander This afternoon Howgaie said he
would waive examination and 60 back to
Washington with out trouble. He was not
in a position, he said, to furnish bail,
which was fixed by the Commissioner at
$4,000. There are seven indictments pend
lug against Howgate.

years cruise in Eastern waters, gives a
most interesting account of the condition
Of disci pline and morals of the Japanese
feet.
"The ships are all commanded by Aun-
apOlis graduates" said he, land they
made me feel proud of the work done at
our naval school. The captains are all
young men. full Of yea in their profession
and know its details thoroughly. 1t made
some of us feel the slowness oil promotion
at home to see the boys we educated full
captains, commanding vessels that would
be a credit to any nations fleet. The
me 'hods, exercises and discipline are all
precisely what they would be on an Amer-
can ship of the same class. The japanese
are born sailors, full of daring and quite
equal in professional requirements and
practical knowledge to any officers of their
experience in our navy or that of ENGLAND.
The ships are fully manned and their
batteries arr four S-inch and 6-inch rifles,
Armstrong guns, besides the usual CON-
plement of rapid-fring guns"

Much in Earnest.

WASHINGTON. d. C., Sept. 27.-Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin has re-
turned TO Washington after his trip to
Alaska and told the CALL correspondent
to-day that he was not yet ready with his
report of the trip. He is waiting, he says,
for certain reports TO be made 0y special
agents as to the inspection of custom
houses before making up his own recon-
mendations concerning them. lie intends
to recommend an increase of the force at
the San Francisco Custom-house and
probably at others on the coast. He be-
lieveS also that additional revenue cutters
should be stationed at San Francisco.
Concerning the seal question, he says he
believes something should be done with
out delay to check the taking of seals in
such large numbers. otherwise they would
disappear from Alaskan waters The
seals seem TO be decreasing in mum ber very
rapidly.
Mr. Hamlin stated further that the
northwestern frontier was greatly in need
of mpr5 comprehensive police system.
With the very limited number of revenue
officials available for this duty it is COM
paratvely an easy matteri TO smuggie
opium into the country. anc no doubt
many Chinese have been able to elude the
officers, and were now safely within our
borders.
Additional revenue cutters aud num-
bec of launches, he said, should be pro-
vided. Two revenue cutters, he thinks,
should be assigned to the duty of patrol
ling the Alaskan coast to prevent Smug-
Cling and TO enforce the law relating t,
salmoD-fishiug. l. was singular fact that
many of the large canneries in Alaska
employ Chinese labor almost exclusively,
and some of the natives had complained of
this discrimination.
A special agent of the department was
now looking into the salmon fisheries and
would soon make a report thereon to tae
Secretary. Secretary Ramlin visited all
Pacific Coast customs districts and stated
that he had discovered no garing frauds,
but he thought the good Of the service de-
manded several changes and in his opiu-
ion they would be made as soon as he
could prepare his report and bring the

claIed that all the talk about personal lib
erty coming from the counsel for the de-

only members of the unions were
entitled to personal liberty. How could

of personal liberty when they called men

AT the jail, after his arrest, he was
treated with more con sideration than ordi-
nary malefactors. He was so utterly op-
posed to using the common bathtubs in the
Jail that his kind-hearted guardians re-
laxed the rules and allowed the captain to
visit his residence or Thirteenth street on
April II. 1882, 10 order TO indulge in lava
tory luxuriance.
The officers remained in the sitting
room while Howgate went upstairs for his
bath. 1t is said that Miss Howgate. who
possessed an exquisite voice, sang to the
guardians of her father. and made time
pass so pleasantly that an hour elapsed
before they awakened to a full realization
of what they were there for. They asked
Miss Howgate to call her father. She was
