In the summer of 1887 at one of ular quarterly target practices Captain Selfridge, on board the Omaha, was sta- tioned off the coast of Japan. He took his men on shore for practice, and at the con- clusion of the movements on land returned to his vessel. When he had sailed out of sight of shore a band of natives came down to the station where the firing had been done to see what, it anything, had been left by the sailors, By chance they came across several of the shells which had not ploded, and to satisfy their curiosity (h took up the missils and began to experi- ment with them. The shells burst, and as a result of the explosion a number of the natives were killed.

A ship which would he apt to be named uiter the eity of Omaha would neces- sa have to be a protected cruiser of the second reie.

But, for that matter, there could ba no more new ships named Omaha until the old unserviceable bark-rigged ship built in 1867-69 s disposed of, as no two ships receive the saume title.

Not being sure of the man's identity, the au thor:ties in Washington were asked to send a man to the city who was acquainted with Howgate. A clerk in the War department, who had been formerly associated with How- gate in the weather hureau, was sent here, Ho met Howgate, but at first was uncertain about his identity, as the latter had changed considerably in thirteen years, After engag- ing him in conversation, the clerk at length became convinced that the man was How gate and a warrant for his arrest was pro- cured from Commissioner Alexander, Mr. Drummond served the warrant in per- son foday. He met Howgate comiog out of . store said: ‘‘How are you, Captain Howgate.” The latter started, but quickly regained his composure, as he asked Mr. Drummond what he wanted. The detective i told him. He answersd: “All right; the jig | i up; I am Captain Howgate.” On being arraigned before Comm'ssione Alexander this afternoon Howgate said he would waive examinetion and go back fo Washington without trouble Ho was not in a position, he said, to fur nish bail, which was fixed by the commis- sioner at $10,00 There are seven Indictments pending against Howgat | STORY OF HOWGATE'S CRIME.
