WASHINGTON1ZAT.STK

-, Fob. 7.—Tho Hous«

committee on tbe ballot-box forgery called Senator John Sherman its the first witness yesterday. Tho Senator testified that his relations with Govern-, or Foraker had always boon friendly.. There had never been'any Ill-will be-!, tween himself and Mr. Halstead.' He' supported Governor Foraker in the la»t State campaign.

On October 8 ho received from the* Evening Post of Cincinnati a telegram saying that ho and llutterworth had been connected by gossip with the ballot-bo* contract. The witness replied that the statement was a lie. lie was shown oxhibit "A," and declared that ho had never signed it.

Mr. Halstead called itpon the witness aftor the recantation, and the witness asked whether his name was on the papor. Mr. Ilalstead hesitatingly replied that ho had agreed with Mr. Campboll( not to say any thing about the paper. Tho witness never mentioned the paper In the campaign, but It became an issue between Governor Foraker and Governor Campbell.

Tho witnoss was surprised that

GOVT

ernor Foraker had made an issue of a bill, as Congressmen often introduced bills as they did petitions.

At the end of Senator Sherman's testimony Mr. Ilalstead took tho stand and told tho story of his own connection with the forged paper in a manner which brought out several laughs from his hearers. IIo said ho had first seen tho ballot-box paper September 14 on the cars at SpringHeld, O. He mot Governor Forakor on the train, and tho Governor showed him tho paper, llo asked Foraker how ho obtained tho paper and the latter replied that Wood had givon it to him, and that "it came right out of John McLean's safe." Foraker said Wood was a party to the ballot-box transaction and had aright to the paper. The Governor told the witness that the paper shocked him, and that it was much more than be wanted. While Foraker went forward in tho train Mr HalsW»a4 studied tho paper, and thought that thoro wore reasons why a person should give it some credit. Governor Forakor had finally given witness tho paper, agreeing to lot him havo exclusive uso of it as the only person capable of handling it.

Tfie witness explained how he came to mako the paper public so soon in the campaign. He had intended to spring it about three weeks before the campaign closed, and afterward to settle with Sherman, McICinloy and Ituttorworth if thoy could not explain their connection with the paper. A speech made by Governor Campbell at, Pike's Opera-Qouie in Cincinnati, in which he brought out the Topp letter was tho direot, cause of tho early publication. The Topp letter was a soro subject with, tho Republicans, and besides, Mr. Campboll had indulged in somo personalities concerning himself. Tho witnoss published an editorial card warning Mr. Campboll that he was concorncd in a questionable transaction, "and then," said Mr. Halstoad, "1 wasn't able to hold it back, and the paper got out earlior than 1 intended." The witness said ho was rather staggered at Senator Sherman's denial of any knowledge of the paper.

Mr. Ilalstead told substantially tho same story as other witnesses as to the mannor in which tho forgery was discovered, and how ho retracted statements made in his paper and pronounced the document a forgory.

In explaining his theory of tho forgory Mr. Halstead said ho believed Wood's motive in getting up the paper was his extrome anxiety to get tho smoke inspectorship, but he was certain that ths papor was never intended to hurt any one, and it was utterly preposterous to think that Governor Forakor had any knowledge that there was any forgery. As for. Senator Sherman's name, ho was certain that Wood had put it to the paper to keep Governor Foraker from using the document during tho campaign. Mr. Halstead said that when Governor Foraker gave him the paper he told him ho had made all the uso of it he could and that Halstead could have it, but cautiono„d him to bo careful and denied having any information lm' plicating Messrs. McKinley, Uutterworth, Shorman or others in the mattor.

JUSTICE ASKED FOR.

4ddre*s Issued by tho Colored MenV N. tloiiu! Association al Washington. WASHINGTON-, Fob. 7.—The colored men's convention On Thursday elected ox-Senator I'inchback president of the Nationnl organization and issued an ad'--dress to the people of tho United States.

The address ill brief is as follows: It expresses regret that it is ncoessory for the colored American citizens to meet In a sripurnte body for the consideration of ijui'Mtions National in their chnractor, but say they are compelled to do so because they have been made special objects of attack and opprejislo". Attention is oolled to the fact that the colored vote in the South is suppressed by violence or neutralized by fraud, their rights denied and themselves and their fittnilles inado the special objects of unfriendly State legislation and com* polled to travel in filthy and inforior cars. The uddrcss also recites the outrages upon colored people in the Southern 8tates: that their children are tiot aftordod school facilities to which they are entitled that the iubor system in the South is unjust to oolorod Americans, and that they uru taxed without representation and compolled to obey IBWB they have no volco in making. Tho address continues: "We think It our duty to applaud the acts fcnd indorse the utterances of our friends, it matters rtot where they are or to what party they belong. Wo*lhoroforo urge upon the colored American voters of the United States, especially in localities the public sentiment of which secures to them the eBlcacy and potenby of their votes, to support In the future only such candidates fo public oltlce as are known to be in fuvor of jusftve to the colored American citizens. To us this should be the puromouut consideration. Questions relating to governmental administrative policy, as, for lnstauoe, the tariff, olvil-servlce roforro and the financial policy of the Government, wo shull make secondary and subordinate. Without regard to the attitude of parties upon such questions, und without regard to our own views upon them, we feel that it Is our duty to support only that party and only such candidates for office as are known to bo friendly to our cause, until all political parties will accord to us tbe lights and privileges to which we are entitled under tho constitution and tiie laws of the land."

The address favors the Hlalr bill, tho placing of Federal eleutlons under Federal control, and emphatically denounces the bill for tho deportation of colorod men. All we ask, says the address la conclusion, is justice, equal rights and fair play.

It was resolved that a copy of the address bo presented to the President, and that ho be thanked in the name of the oonvontion for liis kind allusions to the oolored Americans in his message to Congress. „.

MAY YET BE FREE.

A Writ of Krror Granted In the Can* ei Flelden and Schwab—Important Question Raised—Had tho Prisoners a Itijfht to Be Present in the Suprefne Court

Judge. Shope Signs the Writ, SPRDtofrlEED, 111., Feb..7.-Chief-Jus-' tlce Shope, of the- Illinois Supreme Court, has grauted a writ of error iq the uudc'of Fioldon '~atia Schwab, tho imprisoned Anarchists, in order that the question of the right of tho condemned men to bo personally present in. court when the doclsion of tho State Supreme Court was rendered may be determined.

The granting of the writ is a duty devolving upon tho Chief Justico of the Supremo Court of the Stato, and he does so not because ho is convinced tho rulings of tho State court are incorrect, but becauso lie is not prepared to say: a Federal question is not involved, and beoause ho desires to relievo the Stato court of the odium of standing in the way of allowing justico to bo done.

This question has never before been raised in the annals of the country, and hence the action of the United Statos Supremo CourtWill bo eagerly awaited.' Should it decide that clio right exists to prisoners to lie present' in the State Supreme Court when final judgment is passed, then not only Fielden, Schwab and Neebo got a now trial, but Spies, Parsons, Fischer and Engel illegally sufTerod tho death penalty, and every inmate of tho prisons of tbe State1 whose case has received an ailirmative judgment in the State court without the prisonor being present fn person has been illegally imprisoned.

While lawyers conversant with tho case in all its details do not fbar'or anticipate any such determination of tho caso as this, yet tho fact that there is a possibility of just such a termination remains and must not bo lost slght of, and it may be said tbo condemned Anarchists at Joliot can still entertain some hope of again breathing the air of freedom.

STORY OF T1IK FLOOR

PORTI.AMD, Ore., Feb. 7.—Tho river is falling slowly and all fear of moro serious local damage from the flood is past Tho wator reached tho highest point, twenty-eight foot four inches, at 6 o'olock Thursday nv.rning. Since then it has fallen four'inches in the channel. This is tho highest -*ater in tho

hiBtory

of the city. The wuter falls

more slowly in the street, and is not perceptibly lower, but is running through the streets with a less rapid current, and is free from heavy driftwood in the channel. Tho bridgos are bolioved to bo safe, and there is no evidence of any serious damage to buildings. The goods in the stores on thfi lower streets vera all removed beyond the roach of damage. The pnly loss in the business district will be from'the prosence of the water on the ground floors of the buildings, which will' bo trifling.

Reports from points on the Willamette river indicate that the river is falling very rapidly. Detailed reports' of ttao damage dono will be slow to come in on account of tho interruption to tolegraphlo communication. Tho -most sorious loss will bo from tho destruction of bridges, whioh seem *o havo been swept away everywhere. The largost towns in the valley aro woll abovo high wator, and only the small and unimportant buildingshavo boon carried away. Interruption to travel still continues, but tho Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company has established steamer service to Casoado Locks, abovo which tho trains are running.

Between Cascade Locks and here there was a succession of land-slides entirely obliterating the track in somo places. The Southern Paci.fio sent out a train on tho branch lino west of there, but got no farther that McMlnnviUe,, fifty miles from hero. Xo trains have beeh sent out "on the main lino. The North'orn Pacifio is running to Tacoma and is oarrjping the mails. ..

The. onlj tel ograplrlu .commuaioatip* with iho East'is'by way of the'Canadian Pacific and Post Cable Company. 'It.is expected that the railroad blookadelto Cascade Locks will continue some days and between here and San Franolsco for wooks, as tho track and railway havo been entirely destroyed tor a considerable distance.' Meager advices from Ashland say that-the Southern Pacific railroad bridge across the Umpupcla rivor has been washed out, and in Cow creek canyon the railroad track has been virtually wiped out. Many more smaller railroad bridges between here and Ashland have been Washed away and tho company does not attempt to send out trains. On the'west sido of the Willamette trains aro ruhning as far as McMlnnville. The Union Pacific is blockaded by heavy slides between this city and the dalles, and no trains are expected to be running for several days. Tho Northern Pacific is still running.

At Salem about sixty houses have been swept away and many persons were driven from their homes, though, as far as known no lives have been lost.: Along tho rivev bottoms considerable of! the live stock has been drowned and! large quantities of grain and hay destroyed. The daniago in this city will. •not be so great as at first anticipated.

Docks and wharves, while being submerged, have all stood tho strain of the current, and now that the water is decreasing it is thought the danger is over. The Columbia river at Vancouver, Wash
