Washington, January 16.—The spe-cial house committee appointed to inves-titrate the ballot box forgery began its work this morning. Chairman Mason laid before the committee a communica-tion signed by Senators Sherman, Stock-bridge and McPherson, aud Uepresenta-tives Butterworth, Breckenridge of Ken-tuckv, McKinley and Austin It.Whiting, reciting that as it is desirable to have a full and i in partial investigation they re-quest that Representative Grosvener be allowed to appear before the committee to aid in examining witnesses and render other assistance. . This request was granted and Representative Grosvener said that while it was admitted that the paper which was to form the basis of investigation was forged, all the gentle-men concerned desired to appearand tea-tify to that fact as well as to any other facts that they might know their bearing on the subject. Representative McKin-ley was the first witness to appear. The chairman presented a paper dated July 2, 1888, and asked if the witness had ever seen the paper and whether the name William McKinley, Jr., signed thereto was signed by himself. He said he saw a paper like it for the first time just before congress met. It was shown him by Representative Bnttenvorth. The name was not his signature. He knew noth-ing about the matter except, what he has seen in the newspapers and never heard of the ballot box bill until it was brought to light in the last campaign. He knew' nothing of the motive that impelled the forgery. He saw a fac simile of the pa-per published in the Cincinnati Com-mercial- Gazette, signed by J. F. Camp-bell alone. It was afterwards published other and local Republican papers. He had no interest, direct or indirect, in the paper and never had any relations with Mr. Wood and did not recall that he had ever heard of him or the ballot box matter until he saw this publication. In his speech in Cincinnati in Music hall September 28, Governor Foraker produced a copy of the ballot box bill and that, with the newspaper publica-tions, was the first he heard of the sub-ject. Governor Foraker at that time made no reference to the contract but subsequently the contract and sub-scription was published in the Com-mercial Gazette. The signature “Wm. McKinley, Jr.,” was not very much like his own signature but it may have been hurriedly traced from his frank. His first intimation that his name was signed to the paper was received through Judge G. W. O’Neill of Lebanon, but he did remember whether that was before or after the retraction. When the whole paper was published after the election by the Commercial Gazette his name ap-peared attached to it. Judson Harmon, a lawyer of Cincin-nati, who was Governor Campbell’s counsel, was the next witness and said that he never saw the forged paper until this morning. Fome time in October last, George J. Murray told him that this paper was a forgery and had been gotten up in his office The witness started to get proof, spend-ing the next day in meeting their affida-vits by G. L. Murray, F. L. Milware and Frank Davis. [These affidavits were put in evidence ] The next day, in com-pany with J. N. Jordan, he called on Mr. Murat Halstead, of the Commercial- Gazette, and demanded to see the paper. Mr. Halstead said the paper was locked up in a safe deposit vault, but showed a photographic copy. Witness told him the paper was a forgery. Mr. Halstead asked twenty-four hours for investiga-tion, a truce was declared and he decided not to print it, Mr. Halstead withdraw-ing an editorial about to be published next day. Witness saw the retraction and got a note from Halstead stating that he was convinced the paper was a forgery. Persons making affidavits were told that they w ere wanted only to secure a retraction.’ The photographic copy of the paper exhibited by Mr. Halstead had all of the signatures attached. Mr. Halstead had cross-examined witness to discover whether lie knew of other names. As o:her names besides Mr. Campbell’s had not been publically men-tioned, witness thought it was the part of decency aud wisdom to say nothing about them in the retraction. Mr. Hal-stead believed that the paper was genuine, but acknowledged that some-thing had happened that afternoon to cause him to investigate its authenticity. Mr. Halstead did not say where he got the paper. The witness had his sus-pieions, hut Mr. Halstead denied their truth. Wood had told Murray when the latter upbraided him for misusing his office and his young men that the w’hole matter was a mistake, that it was not intended for publication but to force the wicked Democrats to give up the Topp letter. This was the proposition by Geo. L. Topp, a contrac-tor, to sell gravel to the city aud divide the profits. Ex-Governor Foraker took the stand and was shown “Exhibit T,” the forged paper, and asked to tell all he knew about it. He said he had no personal knowledge of who executed the paper. After his nomination, June 27, L. N. Hadden, assistant city solicitor, cam? to see him and talked about the" politi-cal situation. It seemed probable that Mr. Campbell would be nominated bjr the Democrats. Hadden thought that Campbell would be a very strong candidate, saying in explanation that he would have the sup-port of some leading Republicans, mentioning Major Butterworth. Had-den said his reason for supposing so was that in the financial results of Camp-bell’s ballot box bill Messrs. Butter-worth and McKinley were both inter-ested. He undertook to procure written evidence of his statement. Witness was busy and did not think of the matter until July 8, when not having heard from Hadden he wrote him, asking for evidence. Hadden did not answer. The witness was interested in the ballot, box business and promised to send pa-pers. At this point the committee adjourned, after granting the request by Represen. tative Outhwaite that Governor Camp bell’s examination be fixed for Monday, January 27. He was very busy at pres-ent. THE TARIFF HEARING. Washington, January 16.—H. T. Richardson of New York was the only witness to appear before the ways and means committee this morning. He represented the largest stave-makers of the United States and presented a peti-tion signed by them asking that mica be retained on the free list on the ground to place a duty upon that article would be a burden to the manufacturers in-tceets. Tiie witness said that promotion of large mica in the United States during the past three or lour years has been 60 light that manufacturers had been obliged to use small mica. To place a duty upon mica would enhance the cost to the manufacturer without benefitting the consumer. Mr. Flower read a telegram from the J. L. Matt Iron works, Union Stove works urging the retention of mica on the free list. walker blaine’s funeral. Washington, January lq.—The fu-neral of Mr. Walker Blaine takes place from the Church of the Covenant next Saturday at 11 a. m. The interment will be in Oak Hill cemetery. Weather Forecast. Washington, January 16.—The cold wave extends over the central valleys, lake regions and Minnesota southward to the gulf coast. The temperature has fallen from ten to twenty degrees in tho Mississippi valley, and it is below freez-ing in Southern Texas, below zero in Kansas and thirty degrees below zero in North Dakota. Forecast till 8 a. m' Eri-day: For Eastern Texas—Fair, north-erly winds, becoming variable, slightly warmer. Three of a Kind. New York, January 16.—Mike Dono-van, Mike Cleary and Mike Muldoon were this afternoon turned over to the Mississippi authorities to be taken to that state for trial for their connection with the Sullivan-Kilrain fight. Just when they will be taken south is not yet determined. The West Virginia Contest. Charleston, VV. V., January 16.—Af-ter a rather heated discussion in the senate this morning that body wont into joint assembly with the house of dele-gates to consider the gubernatorial con-test matter. This was generally opposed by the Republicans, who want-ed to wait until their absent members could attend. The majority report of the gubernatorial committee was pre-sented ami the minority report will be presented this afternoon. The joint as-semblv adjourned until 3 o’clock. A W. C. T. U., Circular. Chicago, January 16.—The general officers of the Woman’s Christian Tern-perance Union have] issued a circular ex-tending greetings to the non-seceding White Ribboners of the Iowa Woman’s Christian Temperance Union inviting all who are with the national committeo-in its policy of no sectarianism in reli-gion, no sectionalism in politics, no sex in citizenship, but with and for all, for prohibition by constitutional amend-ments, national and state, to hold meet-ings locally and pass resolutions to this effect. An Important Decision. Chicago, January 16.—A11 important question relating to foreign corporations doing business in Illinois was decided by Judge Anthony yesterday. Hook, Green & Co., hotel brokers, have a suit against the Galveston City Railway company for $5,000 commission for tho sale for $200,000 of the Beach hotel, Gal-veston, Texas, owned by the company. Col. W. H. Sinclair, president of the railway companv, an officer of the hotel company and post-master of Galveston, coming to Chicago was served with a summons. Sinclair raised the point that the hotel and rail-way companies being foreign corpora-tions, having no place of business or agents in the state, service could not be had in that way. It was admitted that St. Clair was authorized to receive pro-posals while in Chicago in reference to the corporate property, but not to pass on them. Judge Anthony held that where foreign corporations sent their representatives in this country clothed with authority to represent them they thereby become inhabitants of Illinois, sufficiently to be subject to suit here. If foreign corporations could send their officers into a state to do business with its citizens, they could not on becoming liable defy a creditor and compel him to follow them into their state. This is the first time the question has been decided in this state.
