W. . WASHINGTON , Sept. 27 , Chief constructor of the navy , Commo dore Hlchborn , today said : "I do not know now what will be- done with the ship Omaha. Same time ago there was a proposition to make repairs nnd fit her out for the USD of the California naval brigade , but this plan was abandoned , because It wns found that It would take too much money to make the necessary Improvements. It Is very prob able that slio will be sold at auction to some ship builder. She la not worth much now at , a vessel , but there Is some valuable cop per on her hull. " The bark-rlgqcd Omaha , named alter the nlty of Omaha , has a somewhat Interesting history. The work of her construction was begun In 1SG7 nnd she was completed two years later. She Is ot the cruiser type , has a uooilen hull , with a displacement of 2,400 tons , and is of screw propulsion. She has always been classed ns second rate and has u main battery of twelve guns. She was built for Immediate duty on the Scttlh Pa cific station , but during the years of 1870 and 1871 she lay In ordinary at New York and It was not until 1S73 that she had been completely fitted out at Philadelphia , and on September 12 , 1873 , she wan put In commis sion and steamed away October 1) ) , of the same year , to Join the forces ot the South Pacific station. She remained In the south ern waters until 1S77 , rendering valuable services , , and during the year 1S75 made crultes along the coast of Peru. PROTECTED AMERICAN INTERESTS. The report of the f-ccrclary of the navy for 18T6 says : "The Omaha has been actively cruising during the past year , hav ing visited all of the principal ports , some of them moro than once , between Panama and Valparaiso. The course of events and the Interests of Ameiican citizens have been carefully watched Ly Captain Simpson. " In 1S77 the South 1'aclllc station was under command ot Hear Admiral George II 1'reble , who assumed command at Panama and hoisted the Hag on the Omaha March 11. In December of 1S77. the Omaha being the flagship , Ipft the South Pacific station with Rear Admiral Prcble on board and pro ceeded to Portsmouth. N. II. , remaining- ordinary at that port until 18S2vhen active preparations were begun in order to fit her out for duty In the Asiatic eiiuadron. Three years were consumed In thcso Im provements. In ISS5 Captalni Thomas A. Selfrldgo took command of the Omaha anil sailed for duty In the Asiatic squadron. Captain Selfridge remained In charge until the fall of the year 1887. In tlie summer of 18S7 at one of the reg ular quarterly target practices Captain ' 'Selfrldfic , on board the Omaha , ftas sta tioned off the coast of Japan. He took hi ! men on shore for practice , and at the con- elusion of the movements on land roturnei to his vessel. When he had sailed out ol sight of shore a band of unlives came dowr to the station where the firing had beer done to see what. It anything , hud beet left by the sailors. Uy chance they cami across several of the shells which had no exploded , and to satisfy their curiosity thej took up the mlsslls and began to expert ment with them. The shells burst , and ai a result of the explosion a number of tin natives were killed. Captain Selfridge wai tried by court martial for alleged carvleup ness and "neglect of duly In tatget practlci on the coast or Japan , with the rcuslt tha he was wholly and honorably acquitted b' ' the court martial in June 1888. Captali Selfrldgo did not take command of th Omaha again. He Is now a commodore , am Is assigned to fluty In the War departmen at Washington as president of the board o Inspectors , HER LAST SERVICE. Captain Frederick V. McNalr took com mand of the Omaha after Captain Selfrldg was recalled and remained on the Aslatl station until 1S30. Since retiring from th Command of the Omaha Captain McNal has been superintendent of the navul ct servutory In this city. In 1S91 Captain J. H. Cromwell tool : charg and the Omaha was made flag ship ot th Asiatic station. She remained there only 'ear. however , when she was declared tin lervlceahle. was recalled , and here ende ler term of active services.

There are no unnamed vessel of that class now bulldlns , and therefore 3 not likely that a modern vessel of tli United States navy will very soon bear tti lame of Omaha. But , far that matter , thet could IIP. no more new ships named Omali until thoold unserviceable bark-risked alii > built In 1867-G9 Is disposed of , as no two slit ) receive the same title. So , whether or not the people ot Omali will have the pleasure of breaking a bolt of wine over the bow of a handsome model > iatected cruiser which carries the name i their city , partly depends on the length i otllclal. llfo of the old wooden hull vesse Omaha , now In the navy yard at Mai Island.

H was a singular fact that many of the largo canneries In Alaska employ Chinese laborers almost exclusively , and some of the natives had complained of this discrimina tion.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 27. The reported plan of Mexico lo unite alltheCcntr.il Amer ican states In one great republic Is doubted at the Mexican legation here. The reports state that General Ezeta's visit to Mexico is part of a plan for the comprehenilve scheme for the extension oftheinew , republic from Texas to the Isthmus of Panama , and It 1s added that all the stated' ' except Guatemala favor the union. It is &ald , however , by the Mexican authorities hero , that they have never heard such a plan suggested In Mexico and that no ncgotiatfdiis to that end have ever been made among : the Central American states. General Ezeta's . .visit to Mexico Is believed to be due to the fact that ho Is a 'Mexican by birth. It Is believed that his visit has no political significance cither ns to the , reported untpn or Mexico's alleged purposeof furnishing lilm an army with -which to're-enter Salvador.

NEW YORK , Sept. 27. Captain Henry Howgate , formerly clilcf of the weather bureau at Washington , was arrested In this city today on charges of forgery and the embezzlement of $300,000 , committed In 1878 and 1879. ' The _ arrest Is Hie result of a search which has" occupied the attention of the United States tectet service for over thirteen years. Ilowgate was arrested in 1830 In Washing ton , but having obtained the permission of the officers to go to his room to dress , he escaped through the window and has since liatlled all efforts nt recapture. AVIth Ilow- gate there uent a notorious woman of Wash ington for whom It la alleged lie robbed the government , The woman does nol live with him.

After having s > eaiclied the whole country for lion Rate , ex-Sheriff Drummond received liifonnjtlan that the fugutlve WAS a dealer In old books and pamphlets in this city. Uvery boolt store uaa visited by detectives without success , Finally an otOoer was de tailed to watch the auction sales for llov- gnle. About two neeks ago U was suspected i hat the fugitive was keeping an old book store In the basement of SO Fourth avenue under the name of Harvey Williams. Not being uure of the man's Identity , the au thorities In Washington were asked to send a man to the city who waa acquainted with Howgate. A clerk In the War department , who had been formerly associated \\lth How- gate In the weather bureau , was sent here. Ho met Howgate , liut at first was uncertain nliout his Identity , as the latter had changed considerably In thirteen yeara. 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 Coniml ? loner Alexander. Mi1. Drummond irrve.l the warrant In jior- EOII ( oday. He met Howgate coming out of u store and Eald "How nre you , Captain Howgale. " The latter started , but quickly legalneil his composure , as he asked Mr. nruinmoiul what lie wanted. The detective told him. He an&wereil : "All right : the jig K up ; I am Captain Howgate. " On being arraigned before Comm'ssloner Alexander this afternoon Howgate ald he would waive examination ami go luck to Washington without trouble.

The story of Howgatc'a exposure anil ol Ills relations with a woman named Nettle Durrll caused a great ncnsatlnn at the tlmo. For several years lie liad led a double do mestic life in Washington. Hut a few square * away from the home that contained hlii devoted wife and the daughter who waa to cling to him so determinedly In the dark hours to come , he supported a woman In luxurious style. When the crash canto anil the exposure of llowgate's dlbtionesty wns followed by the appalling discovery ot til ; domestic duplicity , few of his old friend ! turned from him. At the jail lie waa treatei ! with moro conilderatlon than ordinary mule factora , He waa so utterly opposed to uslnt the common bath tub * In the jail that hli klnd-Uearted guardians relaxed t.he rule ? o ; the Institution to the extent of allowing the cuptutn to visit his residence nn Thirteenth street , on April 12 , 1882. In order to Indulge In lavatory luxuriance. The olllccrs remained sitting In the bitting room while Howgalo wont upstairs for hla bath. It is Eald that Miss Howgatc , who possessed an ex quisite voice , sang to the guardians of her father , and made tlmo piss ia pleasantly that an hour elapsed before they awakened to a proper icallzatlon of what they were there for. They asked Miss Howgate to call her father. She was gone u long time , and then came back pale and excited. She could find her father nowhere , she said. They tscardied the house , and1 then rushed out and gave the alarm. Captain How-gate , by this time , had two hours the start of pursuit , It It lutl been Instituted Immediately It Is i thought he was steaming down the river below Alexandria before his daughter had llnlahed singing. He escaped by going out of the rear of tinliouso. . when lie was sup posed to go ( o Hie bath room , and going out Into the blind alley In the rear .turned Into the exit nfimlng out Into the street , whore a carriage containing Nettle Burrll was awaiting him. A search waa Immediately made for him , but he was not apprehended , although It was notorious that communication ! ! were readily established with him when Ills friends found it necessary for mouths after hla departure , It was generally believed that Captain Howgate went down the river immediately upon his escape and took up his residence In St. Mary's , as It was well known that he was continually si-en In that neighborhood as late as 18S7. lie then went to New Orleans and remained there until he believed the secret service detectives were after him. Accordingly he took his departure westward and was seen at one or two places on the Pacific roast Kur two years past ho had made his home In Now York City. WHKVKKU IX TIIK .IHt'TIC.
