.CLEMENCY TO Be SOUGHT
Efforts Being Made to Secure
a Pardon for Captain
Howgate.
It Is Claimed That His Case Was Post.
poned Until He Was Not Pre.
pared for Trial.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May ia Tribune
special from Washington says: 1t is un-
derstood that efforts will be made to Sc
cure a pardon for Captain Henry How
gate, who is now serving a sentence in the
Albany penitentiary, having been con-
victed of embezzlement while second in
command of the United States Weather
Bureau. The formal application for a
until next spring.
One of the reasons urged in behalf OF
Captain Howgate is that while he used the
money of the United States improperly he
did not use it in his own behalf. He was
enthu siastic in the matter of Arctic ex-
plorations and purchased and fitted out
the steamer Gulnare with the funds of the
Weather Bureau ior that purpose. 1t is
said that he received no personal benefit
from the misuse of the funds.
Captain Howgate was better prepared
for trial in 1882 than he was last year. He
surrendered himself and was sent to the
United States Jail, there being an under
standing between the United States Dis
trict Attorney and himself that he should
have an immediate trial. 1t happened,
however, that the District Attorney was so
much occupied at the time in preparing
for the trial of Guiteau for the murder of
President Garfield that the understanding
was not carried out, and Howgate subse-
quently escaped from Jail.
He roved about the country for some
time, but finally settled in New York
City, carrying on the business of dealing
in secondhand and rare books. He pur-
sued this calling uninterruptedly for ten
years, when he was suddenly arrested and
brought here for trial and convicted. In
the meantime nearly all the army and
other friends on whom he had relied to
escape Imprisonment had died or passed
out of important offices.
Since his Imprisonment in the Albany
penitentiary Captain Howgate has been
librarian of the prison. He is now an old
and broken man physically and the few
friends who cling to him still think that
he has suffered enough. He has seven
years yet to serve. 1t is said that his
book business in New York has been con-
Quoted since his conviction by his daugh-
ter, who gained many friends by the way
she clung to her father, Notwithstanding
his wrongs to her mother, and those
friends, probably more than those of the
father, are most active in the movement
to secure pard on.

JOINED BY THE SHELL SET.
bsurgent Ranks Increased by baltimore
Society Men.


BALTIMORE, MD, May 15.-Society
and club circles are agitated tonight over
the report that two OF Baltimore's swell
set were passengers on the alleged fill
buster steamer Laurada, which sailed
from New York last Saturday. Ad-
ditional interest is excited by the state
ment that another youth belonging in the
top-notch circle went to Cuba few weeks
ago and has arranged TO join the in
surgents along with the two Baltimoreans
on board the Laurada.
DR.. Stewart McKim, a recent graduate
of the University of Virginia and a brother
OF Mr.. McKim, the well-known banker,
early espoused the cause of the insurgents
and recently went to Cuba, not, however,
declaring an intention to do more than
study the situation.
Ormonde Latrobe, son of Stewart La.
trobe and nephew of ex-Maior- General
Ferdinand c. Latrobe, and Stewart JAN
ney, who recently graduated from Johns
Hopkins University, are named as the
other recruits for the insurgents ranks.
For some time, it is alleged, the young
men have been in communication with
well-known Cubans in Baltimore and else
where, and have been offered high posi-.
tions in the service. Mr.. Latrobe, it is
said, is slated for coIonelcy. Mr.. La
trobe's father declined to discuss the mat.
Ter beyond admitting that his son was out
of town.

Munitions of Var Not Landed From the
Steamer Bermuda.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 15.-Cable-
grams received here to-day from Honduras
show that the steamship Bermuda failed
the second time to land her cargo OF mu-
nitions of war in Cuba. 1t is reported that
fears of treachery induced General Vidal
and the ninety-seven men who were with
him aboard the Bermuda to leave the ves-
sci when it returned to Truxillo the second
time. Captain Hughes, who commanded
several filibustering expeditions to Cuba,
sailed from New York for Honduras sew
eral days ago and it may be that he goes
to take command OF the Bermuda. 1t is
further reported that the steamship Lau-
rada is to land her cargo on the shores of
the province of Santiago de Cuba and that

other grain stored upon their farms. This
order applies to the provinces of Pinar del
Rio, Havana and Matanzas. The military
quartermasters are authorized by this
order to purchase the grain sent to the
towns by the farmers at the current price,
and II the grain is not required by the
Government it will be stored for the ac-

twenty days has elapsed, the proclamation
declares, any grain found upon farms IN

With Boyd, His Man Friday, He
Hopes to Rush His Scheme
Along This Session.
BUT IT WILL NOT 60 THROUGH
Determined Statesmen Are Ready te
Talk the Bill to Sleep at the
Proper Time.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-The
steering committee of the Senate has
agreed to set day for consideration of the
racine roads funding bill. The exact date
Is not known, but it will be within one
week.
Huntington. failing to have the bill
brought up in the House, concentrated his
efforts on the Senate side, with the result
stated. He hopes to have the bill passed
by the Senate this session, and then
through the House at the short session.
he realizes that it could hardly be consid-
cred In both branches at the short session.
John Boyd stated to The CALL cores
ponoent tonight that they hoped to press
the Dill through the Senate now, and
through the House next winter.
But the possibility of the bill passing
the upper House at this session Is very
remote. A mere han dful of Senators
could talk it to death, and there is no
doubt but that handful of them are
so disposed.
Morgan, although far from being well
man, will try to make an exhaustive
speech on the subject, and so will Allen of
Nebraska, White of California and others.
The CALL correspondent has wired re-
peatedly that there is no chance for the
bills passage at this session, and this pre-
diction is reiterated
The result of the Dupont Senatorial
election contest to-day has angered promi-
nent Republican Senators, who are very
bitter against those Populists who voted
with the Democrats against seating
Dupont.
They declare unreservedly that Senators
Jones and Stewart of Nevada some time
ago bargained that. in return for their
votes for Dupont, the Republicans were to
support the Santa Monica deep-harbor
appropriation; but that Jones was so dis
appointed and angered because of Frye's
compromise amendment. he and Stewart
resolved to beat Dupont. Stewart voted
with the Democrats, and Jones was paired
with Wolcott (Republican) which was
equivalent to ais voting against Dupont
Jones and Stewart especially are held re-
sponsible for the result to-day. The vote
stood 80 to 81, and if they had voted with
the Republicans Dupont would have been
seated.

newspaper to the effect that Lord Ions.

William, had said his Majesty might chal.

w WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-The
House spent the day in passing private
pension bills, favorably reported from the
committee of the whole during the past
week. Before the House took the usual
Friday recess at o'clock 101 bills had
been passed and thirty-four others had
been laid aside to await formal eng-oss-
ment before final action.
The contested election case of J. Hamp-
ton Hoge VS.. Peter ]. Otey, from the Sixth
District OF Virginia, was ended by the
adoption of the report of the Committe
on Elections No. s. confirming Otey' S
title to the seat.
Howard (Pop.) of Alabama made a de-
NAL OF the stories printed two or three
months ago. charging him with being
drunk on the floor of the House, asserting
That he was sick and that since then he
had been near to deaths door.
Howard resented what he declared to be
cruel, baseless attack by the press of the
country. An article in the st. Louis Re-
public, he said, was typical of tie general
onslaught on him, and he read that. 1t
stated that Howard had come on to the
AAOOi
ton after debauch of several days, his
appearances resem bling that of a tramp.
he had gone to sleep, it said, on a lounge,
and had thence been removed by two col
ored porters of the House.
AT o'clock the House. according to the
rules, took a recess until P. NJ.
The entire period devoted under the
rules to the night session was spent in a
fruitless effort to obtain a quorum. The
proceedings were characterized by Pugh
(R.) of Kentucky as those of "a kinder
garten in the National schoolhouse."
Toward the close of the evening Picker
(R.) OF South Dakota repeated a motion
just voted upon by the House. The
Speaker pro tem., Dalzell (R.) of Pennsyl-
vania, evidently tired of the situation, de-
clared the motion out of order.
Picker - From that decision, Mr..
Speaker, appeal.
Speaker pro TEN. (sharply)-And the
chair declines to entertain the appeal
At 10:30 the session expired by limita-
ton and the House was declared to be
adjourned until Monday next.

arrived in the city today from Utah,
where he has been engaged for some
time in travelling over the state and
investigating the Mormon question and
the physical resources of the country.
He expects to remain IN Colorado some
time, visiting the new mining fields of
the Gunnison and elsewhere.
Mr.. Monsen has only recently COM
pleted a remarkable expedition through
California, in tine course of which he
accomplished some extraordinary feats
of physical endurance. He made his
torical collection of photographs and
legends of all the old missions of the
coast and of Arizona and New Mexico
and from the hot valleys made an
ascent OF Mount Whitney. the highest
peak in the United States. From
Mount Whitney he went directly down
into Death Valley, in the dry terrors
of which he lost his guide and horses
from thirst and hunger, and was COM
PEELED in the heat of August to COM
plete a thirty-six hours walk to save
his own life.
Mr.. Monsen will probably lecture on
