An Assockited Press dispatch from Detroit last fevening says that B. Frank Bigelow, the former | receiving tellerof the National Bank of the Re- public, Washington, was arrested at 2 o'clock yes- terday morning at’ Port Huron, and adds: “He abseonded Jun 23, and 1s alleged to be short in his accounts $2 A reward 07 $1,000 has been Offered for his capture, He was in’ Canada, and virtually gave himself up, saying he was tired of being hunted from place to place.” TRACKING THE FUGITIVE. It fs learned here that about two weeks ago De- tective McDevitt, armed with a warrant, lett here for Idaho, where it was thought Bigelow had fled, as hehad relatives living in that territory. I¢ ap- pears, however, tat Bigelow d{d not go to that territory, but, as subsequently ascertained, when he left here on the 8:10 p.an. 2tst of June he went to Pitisburg; then to Etfe, thence to where he took the Grand Trunk ratiroad jan at to the western part of da. Mr. Me- Devitt haying reported that Bigelow was not in the Territory of Idauo on Monday last left Om: for Chicago. The same day it rl finitely that Biyclow ada, opposite Port Huron. ‘The bank ofiicers at once dispatched Private Detective C. Flinders to Detroit. He left Monday night. At the suine time the chief of poilce of Chicago was requ: by telegram to intercept Mr. McDevitt and detain him for orders. Mr. McDeviit telegraphed from Chicago, Tues lay morning, for orders from Wash— ington, and was directed to proceed wo Detrolt and connect at the Russell house with Flinders, who would explain the situation. On Thursday the Dank officers were teiegraphed by. Fimde “Bigelow has been at Port Sarnia, and we are ew deavoring to locate im, and will get bun if he shows up.” THE ARREST. Yesterday morning a dispatch was received from Port Huron, “Bigelow ts over the line,” (meaning he was in Port Huron,) and ashort time afterwards McDevitt telegraphed, “Will leave with B. to-night.” He isexpected to arrive to- morrow with the prisoner. THE AMOUNT OF THE EMBEZZLEMEN' The entire amount embezzled has not been made known, and the bank officers are reticent, saying that It will all come out on the triaL It 1s, how- ever, believed to be much greater than at first re- ported—some say over $30,000, and that the biggest hauls he made were during the last_ week he Was at bis desk. One of the offictais at the Dank this morning, when told that one of the directors still claimed ‘that the defalcation would not exceed $8,000 (Which was the amount named in the first reports), laughed and sald that the director might have hai that opinion at first, but had changed it in the last rew days. WHAT IS SAID AT THE BANK. Mr. Bradley, the cashter of the National Bank of the Republic, when shown a statement published this morning, that the bank officials had tre- quently heard from Bigelow since hts departure, through letters received by others, sald that the Statement was untrue. He dented also that Bige- low had written here offering to surrender him- self. The bank officials, he said, had had no com- munication with him, “We have had intimations that letters have been received from him by his family, and that {s all, The detectives, when they went out, went on surmise. All the information that the bank has received fs that he has been ar- rested. We do not expect to get any detalls until he arrives here. I sm utterly incredulous of the story that he professed any sorrow, or desire to surrender himself. 1 think that must be based solely on some one’s imagination.” The bank ofcials are not inclined to be com- munieative as to the amount of the defaleation. Tt Will not, It 1s thought, entail _a very serious loss upon the Dank over and above what it ts expected to recover from the bondsmen and the property of Bigelow now in the hands of the bank. This property consists in of mining stock and other securities of such uncertain value, that ft ts doubtful how much may be realized from it. Mr. Bradley stated to THE Sran reporter that the loss would not be great enough to cripple the bank, though the offictals would Probebly have to go down into thelr pockets. Both Mr. Duncanson, the auctioneer, and Mr. Parkes, the patent office examiner, who'are the bondsmen for Bigelow, are out of the city. Mr. Parkes, it is stated, has little roperty, so the whole burden of-the bond of 10,000 will fall upon Mr. Duncanson. MR. BRADLEY WAS IN CONSULTATION this afternoon for a long time with Assistant Di trict Attorney Coyle, with the view, it is under stood, of having Bigelow prosecuted at once, upon his arrival in this ety. It was stated at the bank that a reward of $1,000 was offered for the appre. hension of Bigelow in order only to secure his punishment, as the bank officials did not expect to recover anything by his arrest. CHARGE OF VioLaTING INTERNAL REVENUE Laws.—Louls R. Bart, a cigar manufacturer, Sola business at No. 29 New Jersey avenue northwest, ‘was chai in the Police Court this morning, by Internal Revenue Inspector Jno. E. Eckloif, with violating the internal revenue laws, yeesoving an futernal revenue stamp from a box another manufacturer, with the Intent to use it over again. The case was continued wnt!l the 9th of next month, and the defendant gave $500 bonds for his appearance. se AT THE CAPITOL, Senate Proceedings To-day.

THE DATE AGREED UPON—DISUCSSION AS TO THR COURSE—PROSPECTIVE CREWS, ETC. There was a meeting of the committees from the District boat clubs at the Potomac boat house last evening for the purpose of making some definite arrangements for holding the Powomac river re- gatta this fall. There were present from the Co- lumbias, President Coon, Capt. Gibson and Mr. Davis; from the Analostans, Capt. Patro and Messrs.

THE RACES AND THE PRIZES. There are five races in prospect. The idea of holding a regatta was originated by Mr. J. W. Boteler, who offered prizes for a race between the District clubs, After the idea was started the friends of the clubs took it up and proposed In addition to the Boteler es for representative club crews, prizes were offered by Messrs. Moore and Leding for senior and. Il races, The patent attorneys have offered prizes for a race between light weight four-oared crews. The National Rifles have pressed a desire to present a stand of colors to the ‘Winners of a junior four-oared race, and there ts jon ‘on foot of offering handsome indl- vidual prizes for the latter race in addition to the stand of colors offered. This promises to be one Of the most successful regattas ever held on the Potomac, and to excite unusual interest here. The Potomacs and Analestans are already at work getting a number of men in good rowing condl- Uon from whom to select their Various crews, THE COLUMBIAS have their representative crew in good condition, and they could hardly be improved upon. As they now row they are: Nute, stroke; Kintner, 3; Davis, 2, and Woodward, bow. This crew will go to Lynchburg next month. For their junior crew they have Such men as Nesmith, Sunemetz, Brace and Thompson.

Mr. Beck offered the amendment, of which he gave notice yesterday, reducing from_ $1,000,000 to $400,000 the ‘amount appropriated for completing the Miantonomah and launching the other four monitors; prohibiting the completion of those four vessels until further order of Congress, and dl- Tecting the naval advisory board to report as to the advisablity of their comptetion. k advocated his amendment. lis inquired how much it would require ete the monitors, jale replied that 1t would take about. $3,000,- Mr. Ingalls—“‘So we have expended $9,000,000 and require $3,000,000 more ?” Mr. Hale stated that, they had cost but $3,500, aregular regatta. this year.
