R Shiphe: ‘WASHINGTON, A C., April 13, — Shipherd states he had an interview with Garfield, brought about by an au- tograph letter from Grant, The first interview witness had with Grant was in September, 1881, The man point made b{\ Grant at this interview was that when a citizen of one country had a just claim against a foreign overnment and was unable to enforce it, he had the right to Jemand of his government to do 50, and it was the government’s duty to do it. Witness declined to state in an inter- view with a New York reporter what he meant by the statement that Blaine would not dare avow what rea- sons he had for mot referring the Shipherd case to the attorney general, and added that though he knew the reasons why Blaine attacked him so uvngaly, the time had not arrived for making them public, Shipherd said Blaine at an interview in November 8d told him lots of ways to read diplomatic correspond- ence, among which were between the lines and on the margins, instancing the case of the British admiral who received most careful instructions not to provoke a fight, with a marginal note with the Duke of York: ‘‘This is all right, but damn them, give them hell,” and the next day fought an important battle, Wit- ness told this to Hurlbut, the editor of the New York World subsequently, who was censuring Blaine for desert- ing Hurlbut, said Blaine wrote a margin over despatches to Hurlburt, “Go it, Steve.” The edi- tor had the letter and said: ‘“Well, then, I have got Blaine on his own diplomacy.” Witness be- lieved that when Blaine found he could not remain in the cabinet he discarded Hurlbut, and to save him. self got on record his letter of De- cember 3d.

The Embeszler of nhe Weather Bureau at Large, He Improved His ( hances and Took French Leave of the Bailiff, Being Assisted, It is SBupposed, by Bome Confederate in High Standing, And Giving No Indioations of His Intended Tour. National Aseociated Press. Wasminarox, D, C., April 13.— Capt. Howgate, confined in default of $40,000 bail for the embezzlement of §200,000 from the government, es- capod this afternoon from a badliff. During the winter Howgate has been allowed to go home several times in charge of an officer of the court. To- day his daughter, just home from Vassar, made application to Judge Wiley to let her faiher come home and stay all night, The judge gave a permit for a fow hours and the prisoner went in a oar- riage from the jail to bis residence on Thirteen street in charge of Court Officer Dewing. The officer sat in the room with him for an hour and allowed him to take a bath. He then suggested it was time to go, Howgate suggested they wait and have dinner and busied himself mean- while looking for some papers and went into an adjoining room, where the officer lost sight of Him for a mo- ment, As he did not - return, the offlcer opened the door and saw the daughter. He asked for her father. She said he had stepped out for a moment and looked anxiously at the clock. The officer rushed tor the door but_could see no signs of the prisoner and no carriage in sight. The house was searched and general alarm sounded. The police exercised all vigilance but no clue has yet been found. It is thought to be & preconcerted plan and that arrange- ments had been made to spirit him out of the city. Shellabarger, Wil- son and Judge Cuppey, his counsel, are thought to know nothing about it, as an argument ta release the | . attachment of $100,000 on his prop- erty was to be made Tuesday, and flight will materially damage his case. Itis thought certain officials whose connection with Howgate has been questioned knew something of the plan, It is said his embezzlements could not have been effected without the aid of some officers of high rank, who would rather assist nis escape than risk a fall trial of the prisoner. District Attorney: Corkhill W, 8 es- cape,'s X righ and htim“cghom{ound. h‘; abovp facts are furnished by the of- ffoial | in whose custody Howgate was, and who 1s in a great state of trepida- tion for the consequence.

The Temperance Element Pushing Things in Lincoln. Special Correspondence of T bxm, Lincorw, April 13.—The supreme topic of conversation hereabouts is the legislature—toujours the legisla- ture! Every other msn you meet will ask you with an air of deep in- terest how it is to be called together. I asked a state official last evening whether he considered that the bulk of the sentiment was in favor of an extra session. ““Why there are vnly two men in the republican party in the state who oppose it,"” he replied. “Who are the " I inquired, “Nance and Valentine,” was the response. ‘‘They cannot recognize any good resbits that will accrue from ameoting of thellegislature. They have both expressed their opinions that there is no urgent need for such » meeting, and you may wager your last nickel that they would both be overjoyed if they could over-ride pub- lic sentiment on the subject.” ““Why so?” “‘Because they both want to go be- fore the convention as candidates at large. Nance will tell you that he has flung ambition away, and 18 not a candidate for anything; that he has ranked a congressman for the last four years, and would not take the position for a gift. But that is all taffy.” “Well, what ails Valentine?’ ‘‘He 18 afraid that he won'y get a distriot made to suit him. If they cut out a distriot in north Nebraska that Valentine could carry for & nomiua- tion, it would probably result in the election of a democratic congress- man.” ' ‘Do you think that Nance has really yet made up his mind to con- vene the legislature?”’ ¢ think so; but it is only because there are a number of othl:r bml:tun requiring attention, in which heavy ;fiuun has been brought to bear him. You would be surprised * {%0 mee & call with the reapportionment \ lfi‘illdt out, wouldn't () oul” there any poasibility of that?" ‘No, I don't think there is; but if the intelligent compositor could only make an irr¢mediable blunder in that direction, T am satisfied that 1t would give infinite satisfaction to the execu- tive.” 4 In addition to the various subjects for legislation already considered in these letters, it is probable that there will be one or two more to be added to the call. Nebraska City wants the portion of the statutes bearing upon refunding altered, so as to allow her to lessen the burden of her present in- dobtedness, while Lincoln desires a change in the law relating to cities of the second class. The closing of the saloons in this city at 10 o'clock at night is a good move, A large portion of the damage and deviltry instigated by drinking, takes place after that hour. The sa- loons here have also been ordered to take down their screens and other obstructions, and have all complied therewith but Quick, who seems to be solid enough financially to defy the law. Senator Van Wyck has been re- ported as being on his way home for several days past, but nobody here seems to know where he is. As before stated in these letters, the contract for building two wings to the insanc asylum has been annulled owing to imperfections in the archi- tect’s specifications. All the bidding was done without reference to the plumbing, which would cost $3,500, 1t was also proposed to lgave a 87, mansard roof unfinished. It isprobable that the work will not be commenced until another appropriation is made, the present amount ($34,000) being inadequate. ARGUS, Foreigy News., National Associated Press.
