COULDN'T TELL THE TRUTH.
Col. Campbell on the Peculiarities of
MIR. Wood.

Mr.. Wood.
WASHINGTON, February 7-Col. James E.
Neal was the first witness before the ballot
box committee today, His statement devel-
oped nothing new. John r. Mclean, owner
OF the Cincinnati Inquirer was sworn. He
said he did not know; Wood had not even
the slightest recollection of him. He was
shown ballot box paper and said he had
never seen it before. Mr.. Mclean denied
that Walter Wellman was bis private secre-
tary. He did not even know him. He had
never been interested in any ballot box
scheme and never had in his safe any papers
pertaining to such a scheme.
Col l.. G. Campbell, at whose instance
Governor Campbell introduced the ballot
box bill, took the stand and testified that he
made Woods acquaintance about fifteen
years ago in Cincinnati. AT that time he de-
Campbell had been Woods attorney in the
ballot poX company. He read list of stock
holders of the company. None Of the names
of the senators and representatives whose
were on the list. Gov. Campbell had not the
slightest interest in the box. The wines de-
MED the testimony of Mr.. Haddon, given be
fore the committee, that the witness had
asked Haddon to get Congressman Caldwell
interested in the ballot box bill. The witness

chairman of the Republican campaign COM
mittee after George Topp had been retired
from that position. After the Halstead re-
traction of the ballot box paper in the Com
mercial Gazette it became question in Ohio
whether Gov. Foraker had connived to pro-.
cure the forgery of the paper. Haddoh
could have cleared1p the matter and freed
Gov. Foraker from all suspicion, but he did
not do so. He had gone to Gov Foraker and
told him, what was not the truth, that there
was ballot box contract and he knew that
if this fact came out his political career
would be ended. Col. Campbell sketched
his connection with Wood in an interesting
manner. He said Wood could not tell two
truths consecutively. If you told an un-
truth, said Col. Campbell to Gov. Foraker,
you would be guilty of an offense because
you krow better, when Wood told an untruth
he could not help it. He did not know how
to tell the truth.
Congressman Mckinley testified that his
signature to the paper was forgery
James II. Foraker, brother of the eX-gov-
ernor, denied that he had told Wood to apply
for the smoke inspectorship as stated by
Wood before the committee. T. Hates of
who had been an applicant for

WASHINGTON, February THE House
transacted business quietly today and ad-
journed over to Monday, when the consider
alton of the new rules will begin. Messrs.
Carlisle and Randall's minority report was
filed today. 1t takes issue with Mr.. Reeds
reforms, especially that of counting men,
bers present and not voting in quorum.
Mr.. Mills dropped some remarks today.
which indicate that the Democrats may
make big party fight next week. But the
Republicans are not much concerned over
anything that they may do. The voice of
the country has encouraged the Republicans
and rather depressed the Democrats, who
find that in many of the states they control,
especially in the South, it has been their GUS
tom to count the quorum as Mr.. Reed has
done. This makes their howls about .''arbi-
trary rulings" little ridiculous.

of John McWilliams. the wife murderer. was
continued. The government introduced sew
eral witnesses to show the general bad char
acter of the prisoner. This afternoon, d. j.

constitution as not to be responsible for his
act. The first witness for the defence was a
brother of the prisoner. He stestified at
length as to his history, and the frequent
medical treatment he had received for men,

crowded with people.
