HOWGATE ON TRIAL.
A Jury ImpnnelIed and the Case
Opened for the Government.

Opened for the Government.
Washington, June 1O-The second trial
of Capt. Henry w. Howgate began in the
criminal court to-day, Judge McComas
presiding.
The indictment which he is now called
upon to answer charges him with forgery
and embezzlement in connection with his
services as disbursing officer of the wealth
er bureau some sixteen years ago.
The court ordered the formal considera-
tion of the two cases pending, one for
forgery and the other for presenting false
certificates.
The work of selecting a jury occupied
an hour and half. 1t was carefully
watched by both sides, the eligible jurors
being interrogated in the usual manner.
After the jury was impanelled, District
Attorney Birney opened for the govern
ment, explaining the charges against
Capt Howgate in detail and reciting what
he expected to prove.
Capt. Howgate had arrived before the
court convened, accompanied by his at
torneys and his ever faithful daughter.
On the face Of the papers, District At
torney Birney said the transactions Of
Disbursing Officer Howgate appeared to
be perfectly regular, but he expected TO
show that the transactions were irregu-
lar and fraudulent; that he could not
plead the statute Of limitations because
he had been fugitive from justice and
the statute did not apply in his behalf.
Mr.. Worthington, following Mr.. Blr-
ney in behalf of Mr.. Howgate, said Il
would appear very plainly In the evidence
that his client was not a fugitive from
justice, but that he was permitted TO
leave the district, after lying In Jail six
months seeking in vain for trial, pe-
cause the higher powers in the govern
ment did not want him tried and tha. no
effort made to discover him bV
a United States official, and he was only
apprehended by an ex-government off,
cial shortly after that official had goac

a Favorable Report Expected From
the Government Commission,

Washington, June 10.-A favorable re-
port from the government commission,
which went to Nicaragua a month ago,
to examine the route of the proposed mar
thine canal is confidently expected on its
return to the United States next month.
Privste letters received from members say
that the commission has already traversed
the route from Greytown to Britoates.
and that they are convinced from a cur
canal is a feasible one. The commlssi On
is now preparing to make a second and
more careful survey of the route.
rhe congressional friends OF the canal
are awaiting with much interest the re-
port of the committee. II il shall be fav-
orable, as now seems probable, 1t will
greatly aid the passage of a bill look
ing to the building of the canal by the
United States government. An unfavora-
BILE report, on the other hand, would rem
der it practically impossible the passage,
of such measure.
