havo been in complete knowledge of ;
the case said that the court would not *
overrule the demurrers as a matter of
law, and that the government already
recognizes that it is hopeless to expect
them to do so. The objections to the
old indictments set forth in the demur
rers are that the charges of forgery in
the four indictments for forgery are not
set forth as the statute requires. Other
objections are entered against indict
ments for embezzlement. Mr. Worth
ington, counsel for Howgate, has served
in the district attorney’s office,' and has
familiarized himself with the weakness

j mit that the evidence of embezzlement

was arrested in New York, Sept. 28, for
stealing §270,000 from Uncle Sam, after
12 years si>ent in evading detectives. It
caused a great sensation, for Howgate,
in his palmy days, its chief of the weath
er bureau, which ho established, ^as a
well known and popular government
oflicial. He made his escape and added
to the romance of the case by living in
New York for six ye.us as a bookstore
proprietor under an assumed name, go
ing about ojieniy unmolested by the se
cret. service officials until lus love for
rare works betrayed him into their toils.
It has always bo n. taong it that there
never has boon any real desire to cap
ture Howgate, and from present devel
opments, it is pretty clear that there is
no desire to prosecute him. Ho led the
gajxst of lives when in office,, and was
the intimate friend of so many men
high in official life that it lias always
been the popular belief that important
persons were very much interested in
preventing disclosures which would cer
tainly be made if he ever was arrested
and brought to trial. But ex-Cnief
Drummond of thet-ecret service saw lit
to make the arrest, aud the prisoner has
since been in jail here, awaiting ar
raignment before the court. Aud now
comes the story that it is useless to try
to convict Howgate, aud that the gov
ernment officials sire convinced that the
case against, him is so weak that he can
not be punished. There is talk that
he will not even be brought before the
bar.
It is said at the city hall that thocaso
for the government is practically on
the verge of collapsing on account of
the defective indictments which were
brought against the occnsed man 18
years ago. It is also said that there is
little nso to attempt to bring about an
other investigation by the grand jm »,
as it would be impossible to obta.n
fresh indictments, still, it is said that
the charges will be brought again be
fore the grand jury, aud that as many
witnesses as can he found will be sum-
moped to appear. It was this decision
that disclosed the doubt on the part of
indictments, it is said, js the statute of
limitation, which declares tnat- an in
dictment cannot be brought after the
expiration of three years from the tone
the crime is discovered. There is one
exception to this law, and that is when
the accused, mau is a fugitive from jus
tice. As Captain Howgate ran away,
it would seem as if he could be brought
within this classification, bat the offi
cials hold that this point could not bo
settled except after long litigation.
If, they argue, Captain Howgate had
escaped from the district before his ar
rest-and indictment. there would be no
question about Ins having been a fugi
tive and no danger of his being pro
tected by the statute. But- they say it
is a matter of record that the criminal
proceedings against him were com
pleted, with the exception of the trial,
aud that it is a doubtful question in tho
eyes of the >nw whether he was a fugi
tive from justice, except in the popular
sense of the term.

Obstructions from Hsr Streets.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 24—There
Is war to the knife between the city
government of Jacksonville and the
railroads and other big transportation
corporations. By a vote at the Ijoard of
public works the city has decided that
the Florida Oentxal and Peninsular Rail-
road company most remove all obstruc
tions, including buildings, eta, belong
ing to or used by or placed, by it in Ju
lia, Cedar and Clay streets, between
Bay street and the St. John's river.
The company must begin the removal
of all such buildings within five days
and continue the work vigorously and
to the satisfaction of the board, the
same to bo completed within 4G days.
Notice has also been to the par
ties placing obstructions in - Pile street
that they must desist from so doing at
once and that they forthwith remove all
obstructions they have already placed
in or upon Pile street, and that unless
such obstructions are removed within
10 days, or it the parties so .obstructing
Pile street continue • to place obstruc
tions thereon, thou,the city engineer is
to remove tiie said obstructions forth
with.
Pile street, it is alleged, covers the
site of the n.w union passenger station
now being built by the the Jacksonville
Terminal company’at-a cost of .§500,-
090. The water front now occupied by
tho Florida Central and Peninsular com
pany has been in its possession for many
years without mol st ition. In both
ejectment suits the city served legal no
tice on the defendants. It means the
possession of property valued at §1,000,-

Newport, R. L, Nov. 24.—The Nav
al Small Arms board- has had exhibited
before it a pistol which is quite likeiy to
revolutionize this sort of equipment in
tho armies and navies of the world. It
is the invention of an American, Hugo
Burchard, now in Berlin. George Lu-
ger, who has a rifle before the board,
exhibited the new production, and be
sides admiring it tho members of the
board contd tint help expressing them
selves as believiug that it had a great
future before it.
It is an arm possible of service for
many branches and tlje only small
weapon in which smokeless powder
may be successfully used, this sort of
ammunition being quite unserviceable
in revolvers. It is after the style of the
Maxim mitrailleuse, being automatic in
action, receiving its ability to load and
extract empty shells from the recoil of
the shot It is claimed to be the only
small weapon capable of doing this con
tinually.
In the exhibition 100 rounds were

A Hew Connection Completed la Hasten.
Greet Distance Saved.
New York, Nov. 24—The comple
tion of the Tehauntepec railroad is an
nounced. It will connect the Paoiflo
and Atlantic oceans by way of the isth
mus of Tehauntepeo, a distance of 130
milee, the isthmus of Tehauntepeo be
ing in the southern part of Mexico, ad
joining Guatemala. The new railroad
passes through several important uittea;
Such as Tehauntepeo and Minititlan.
At the terminal of the Paoiflo and At-
lantio some piers will have to be built,
one an iron pier, near Salina Cruz, on
the Pacific, and a similar pier on the
Atlantia near Coatsacoaloos. The lat
ter, when wholly completed will open a
new and valuable transithmian route to
the commerce of* the world.
The' value of this new road from a
purely American standpoint, can hard
ly be overestimated. The distance be
tween the Atlantio and Pacifio coasts
of the United States by sea will be
lessened by nearly 3,000 miles. That
is, comparing the distance between San
Francisco and New York city via the
Isthmus of Panama. The city of New
Orleans will be about 1,000 miles nearer
Coatzacoalcos than New York.
One of the five handlings of freight
by way of Panama will he avoided.
The road passes through valuable and
fertile land—in fact, opens a rich min
eral and agricultural country.

Indianapolis, Nov. 24—The 80 Re

It was decreed that the state should

favorn fair apportionment.
Before the meeting was formally

of thef senators end assured them that
the ex-president was opposed to any
radical legislation. He had expressed a
desire to

was trying to make the most out of its
success because of fear that it would
otherwise be short lived.
