Great Contract Forver

iom Campbell's Opinion of Wood, the
Great Contract Forger.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. s.-James E.
Neal, chairman of the Democratic state
committee during the last state campaign,
was the first witness yesterday before the
baiiot-box investigators. He said the reason
Governor Campbell did not have Halstead
arrested for criminal libel was that such a
course would have violated the confidence of
the men who told the Democrats how the
forgery was concocted, and also that it was
believed that a retraction from Halstead
would have the best effect
John X. Mclean Testifies.
The next man to be heard was John X. Nc
Lean, proprietor of The Cincinnati En-
quirer His testimony was that he never
knew Wood; that he never had any kind Of
relations with the men whose names were
forged TO the contract, and consequently had
nothing to do with that document. and had
never authorized any one to give Wood a
document from his safe; knew absolutely
nothing about the ballot-box schema

Wood Constitutional Liar.
Witness was sure Wood could not tell two
truths consecutively III you told an I'M

"you would be guilty of an offense. because
you know better. When Wood told an I'M
truth, be could not help it; be didn't know
how to tell the truth" Witness said he sus-
pected some person of higher Intelligent e
than Wood of instigating the forgery, and
admitted that he thought it was Governor
Foraker. He was now largely" convinced
that his suspicious were not correct.
What He Meant by Largely"
Ex-Governor Foraker wanted the witness
to state why he used the word largely. {"
"Do you think that / had anything to do
with the matterF'
NO, sir" replied the witness; "but do
think that you were remiss In not coming to
me when you received the ballot-box paper
In order to ascertain its genuineness."
Some further testimony of an uninterest-
Ing character was given, among the wit
nesses being Representatives Breckinridge,
of Kentucky, and Butterworth, who repudi-
ated all connection with the matter, while

Secret Orders Take Action.
Three OF the secret orders have this week
taken action regarding the disregard of law,

very extensively signed, asking the officials
to do something toward closing them. This

Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock the ladies
came up the business street and proceeded to
billiard hall run by I. Jacquff and I.

with crowd OF customers, ran out through

and the streets flooded with it, the assem-

This finished they proceeded to the restau-

proprietor pleaded manfully for an oppor-

nnheeded and another stream of liquor went
down the street. The ladies then visited
each of the three drug stores and other
places, but found no cause for crusading
While all good citizens regret the necessity

PARIS, Feb. s.-Prince Philippe, Due dor
leans, eldest son of the Comte de Paris, was
arrested here yesterday. He arrived in
Paris in the morning, the bearer of letter
announcing tho abdication of his father and
his formal remuneration Of all claims to the
French throne, together with a manifesto OF
the Comte de Paris to the people The gov.
eminent was aware of his presence in the
city, and he was at once taken into custody
for violation of the law banishing royal pre-
tenders from France
A Possible Pretender.
Nominally, and according to the theory OF
pretenders, pretender is always king,
and therefore the count of Paris abdicates
the throne he never possessed and in virtue
of this abdication all his claims, rights, and
titles descend to his eldest son, the young
gentleman now In the hands of the authori-
ties The gentleman is, therefore, not merely
one of many vagrant princes. but the actual
pretender to the throne in virtue of his
claims as the heir of Louis Philippe and also
as the heir of the old Bourbon line
And Mighty Rash Young Man.
His coming into the country, In violation
of the law banishing all the heads and d.
rect heirs of reigning families is rash es-
capade, even if it stands alone The fact
that he was equipped with an appeal to the
nation shows his intentions and may make
the escapade serious for him IL it should be
developed that this movement is made in
virtue of an understanding with the parti-
sans of the monarchy in France II may be
more than a mere violation of the law of ex-
pulsion.
The Government Was Qui vive.
The government was not caught mapping,
however. 1t was promptly informed of the
presence of the duke in Paris, and of his
whereabouts, and they took him in In the
afternoon he was arraigned before the mill
tary authorities at the central bureau. In
response to the inquiry as to the objects and
purposes of his visit to France he said that
having attained his majority, he had come

ity is regarded as very hap
