AoWCATE Danced FOR JOY
Acquitted of Charges of Having En-.
bezzled $ll,S0O from Government.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ANNOYED
The Verdict Ofthe Jury Regarding Stat ute
of Limitations viii Permit a Trial
Of the Prisoner Upon Other
Indictments.
BY the United Press.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Captain Henry
w. Howgate was acquitted today of the
charges Of embezzling 81 800 from the
government while holding the position
! of disbursing officer of the United States
signal service, and of forging a voucher
for that amount TO cover up his al
legged wrongdoing. On the point of
Howgate's alleged crimes being barred
by the statute of limitation the jury
found for the government. The verdict
was rendered about noon today, when
the jury had been locked up nearly
seventy-two hours. Captain Howgate
received the announcement without
emotion, but after he had been taken
to his cell he danced for joy in the re-
ali2ation that part of the burden and
| anxiety of fifteen years had been lifted
from his shoulders.
There were only a few people in court
when the verdict was rendered. While
the jurymen We're going to their homes,
Howgate was skipping back and forth
like a boy on the hard concrete of his
cell. He said he was very much pleased
of coursce, and said that he thought the
verdict could not have been otherwise
in view of the evidence.
District Attorneys Opinion.
District Attorney Birney said he was
much annoyed at the verdict. If the
| jury had found that the statute of lin
| iations applied in the case, he would
doubt, he said, his right to bring How
| gate to trial on the other indictments
but as the jury had decided that the
statute did not apply. he would. accord
| ing to his present intention give the
| defendant another chance to show
whether he was not guilty. The whole
delay on the part of the jury in reach
| ing an agreement was caused by the
| plea concerning the statute of limita.
| tions.
Howgate gained his victory princi.
pally through the construction placed
| by the jury in the evidence gained by
! Roswell II. Rochester, of New York
treasurer of the Western Union Tele.
| graph company. Mr.. Rochester's testi
mony that he could not have specifically
denied that the signature to the voucher
for Sl1, 500 for services rendered by thu
telegraph company was his own, If Il
had not been in connection with the
Howgate case, was considered by tn,
jury, according to authoritative infor
nation. as particularly significant IL
indictments charging forgery agains
Captain Howgate still remain on tn,
docket.

Milwaukee, Feb. 24.-Solomon S.
Curry. president of the Metropolitan
Iron and Land company, the largest
producer of iron ore in the world, has
made an astounding statement regard
ing the future of that business, and
predicts a revolution in the industry
and bankruptcy for those Interested
therein.
cover $lO0,OO00OO have vanished"
he declared, land the owners of iron
mines viii want to know where they
are at"
Mr.. Curry returned yesterday from
Cleveland, where he attended CON
ference between nearly all of the rep
resentatives of the principal iron ore
corporations in the United States.
THE meeting" he says, was like a
funeral dirge. Tears trickled down our
cheeks, and we sobbed at the sight of
wealth as great as that of the Roths-
childs vanishing into mist, all through
the discovery of ore fields from which
can be mined more ore than the world
needs.
Hopes of Il Short supply Blasted.
of the Mesaba range, and the billions of
tons of ore which can be placed upon
the cars there at a low price, assuring
the world of an adequate supply of the
mineral for 1000 years, and this con-
dition confrontS us just as we had con-
menced to believe that a famine in the
production of Bessemer iron ore was
about to be inaugurated
I'VE had some of the most expert
enced iron men in the world visit Eng
land, Spain, Algiers and Cuba and
make an examination of the iron mines,
and from the reports they made we be-
lieved that in few years Europe
would be obliged to call upon America
for its Bessemer ore. This will prove to
be true, for the United States has the
ore and the fields in the old country
are playing out; but of what good is
this new condition to the old timers
who have invested millions in the Lake
Superior district? Even Rockefeller
will regret his investment in iron
mines unless he secures u monopoly of
the transportation facilities into the
Mesaba district which he has attempt
ed to control
Towns Forced Into Bankruptcy.
In the course of his talk Mr.. Curry
made dire predictions regarding the
future of a number of cities in the Lake
Superior country, "Rockland and
Greenland" he said. "were at one time
two of the most prosperous cities in
Michigan, and We're the richest and
greater mining camps on the globe.
English money poured into both places,
but now they are deserted villages and
property is almost worthless. The dis
covery of the Calumet and Hecla
mines, and the consequent production
of copper at less than IL cents pound,
brought about this change and de-
stroyed the value of the region in which
our British friends spent their millions.

The man with steel fingers promises
60 become almost as famous as the man
with the iron mask MIR. j. Cooper
Chadwick is good looking English,
man in the primo Of life who some
years ago had the misfortune to have
both his hands blown off by the dis
charge Of gun. AS soon as he was
well enough to think Mr.. Chadwick
set about devising ways to cheat fate
after all out of her victory over him.
1t required a year to solve the prob
lem, which Mr.. Chadwick did with the
aid of a London manufacturer of artl-
fetal limbs. Steel castings were fitted
to the stumps of the mans arms. At
the place where the wrists should be an
assortment of hooks and steel fingers
was fitted on Then implements and
instruments especially designed to be
held by the hooks and fingers were in
vented
The result is that Mr.. Chadwick is
able to feed and shave himself, button
his clothing, brush his hair and hold a
pipe or cigar. He soon learned to write
by means of a pen held in the steel book
at the terminus Of his arm, and actual
" wrote a book thus. He says indeed
that he can write as we'll with his steel
hands as he could with his flesh and
blood ones 1t is rather odd that his
handwriting looks as it used to when he
wrote with the hands nature gave him,
showing that a man writes with his
brain, not with his hands

Where Our Navy Is.

The United States will have for the
rest of the winter seven warships in the
gulf waters south of us. This is the
strongest feet that has ever been sent
out at one time from the reconstructed
navy. The famous white squadron, call.
ed also the squadron Of evolution, that
went to Europe as the herald of the
new American navy contained only four
large cruisers There are not so many
United States ships Of war in the Asi-
attic waters, even with the japanese
Chinese war ON, as there will be in a
few weeks in the gulf of Mexico The
flagship of the squadron is the New
York, commanded by President Cleve-
land s friend, Captain Robley D. Evans,
famed both for his fighting qualities
and the exquisite needlework embroid
cry he privately amuses himself with
in silent hours on shipboard. The 9th
er vessels are the Cincinnati, Raleigh,
Columbia and Minneapolis The Allan
ia is already on the Central American
coast. The Montgomery is in the gulf
waters The New York is the largest of
the ships and is an armored cruiser of
8, 200 tons From this the ships range
in size down to the Montgomery, 2,094
ton cruiser. The Columbia and Mime
apolis are the swiftest of the feet, hav-
ing a trial trip record of % knots. The
New York has a record of 81 knots.
Besides these vessels there are three
of our ships in Asiatio waters by this
time. Another is on it's way to Honolu-
Iu, while the stanch little Castine is
travelling as fast as steam can carry
her by way of the Cape of Good Hope
to Mozambique to look out for Aneri-
can interests in Madagascar The gulf
feet will cruise about the gulf waters
till warm weather, then will come north
for the summer The ships will prac-
tice evolutions and maneuvers in COM
pany, such as are so famous among the
warships of Europe and such as result
ed in the frightful disaster with the
British Camperdown few years ago in
the Mediterranean. 1t is to be hoped
we shall have no Camperdown acct
dents with our gulf feet The command
er of the gulf squadron is Admiral
Meade. The ships will be at Bluefelds
by the middle of February. They will
be fine sight, with their fresh paint,
glistening guns and gallant crews.
The Chicago and the San Francisco are
at Algiers and constitute the chief de-
pendence of the European squadron.
The Baltimore is at Valparaiso and the
Concord off Shanghai.

MORE CORN: LESS c0Tr0N.

The above heading seems to represent
the battle-cry for 1895. 1t seems from
the present outlook that such a policy
upon the part of our farmers is the only
hope of our secti N. The world is short
on corn. and overstocked with cotton,
and the Liverpool factors are figuring on
the next cotton crop selling for three
cents a pound to the cotton buyers of the
south. such being the case, the follow
ing advice of the Manufacturers Record,
in its last issue, certainly contains sound
sense:
The sure road to prosperity for
1896 Isles cotton: more corn.
Ii the south will raise 5000, 900 bush
els of corn, against the 50O,OOOOOO
bushels raised last year, and not over
1000, 900 bales of cotton, against the
9.5O0.0 600 bales raised this season, 1t will
solve the problem of universal prosperity
for this entire section.
In this issue OF the Manufacturers Re
cord, Mr.. Atwood Violet, OF New Or
leans, whose house has for many years
been identified with the cotton trade,
points out the absolute necessity OF
great decrease in cotton acreage and
production in 1898. The Manufacturers
Record has already persistently urged
upon the south the Importance of raising
a great corn crop this year. Put the
two things together-reduce cotton
acreage-and the south will vastly add
to It's prosperity. 1t behooves every
business man in the south, every mer-
chant, every banker, every newspaper,
to exert the utmost influence to urge
upon farmers the absolute necessity of
''less cotton; more corn" Let this be
the south's rallying cry of 1895.
We are deeply interested In the pros
perity of the farmers of this section, and
feel that The News ought to give them
its honest opinion, and the opinions of
others on this acreage question. 1t can
tell them what it believes, sees, hears and
reads, and they must act to suit them
selves 1t is heartily in favor of an
increased hog and hominy crop; we
honestly hope the farmers of Southwest
Georgia will put in an increased corn
acreage, raise their own bread and meat,
and if they plant cotton at all, make it
their surplus crop.
