The Day at IndiannnntlH.
s , Nov. 5. The last day of the
treat campaign opened bright and warm
hero. Many faces scanned the heavens in
coniecturo about to-morrow's weather. Tno
hotels and streets presented n holiday ap
pearance. From early morning crowds were
gathered In the lobbies and on street corners
earnestly discussing to-morrow's lesuiti
About forty ladles and gentlemen came up
from Tcrro Haute this morning , accoiii-
patiled by a flue band. They came to deliver
n handsome present of a mlniaturo silver
mounted plush chair , designated "Presi
dential Chair. " They also brought Mrs.
Harrison a valuable llor.il stand with n
Hllvcr pedestal , voted to her at a Germnnin
fair. General Harrison made a brief ic-
gponsc , after whlc-h , in behalf of Mrs. Harrison
risen , he thanked the ladles for their present
to her.
General Harrison was also the recipient of
n large Kilk-vovcrud. . pillow , voted him RS
tlio most popular candidate at the Methodist
fair at Port Washington , New York. An
other present that arrived to-day was a
unique large knotty cane , taken from the
battlefield at Port HudMiii , and sent by
Captain L. F. Ellis , now of Lima , O. , who
commanded u company of Now York troops.
Mrs. Ornin. of Topyka , ICan. , sent a Hue
pngraving of a gold medal voted General
William Harrison by congress in ISIS , the
original ot which is in General Harrison's
I i
possession , having boon willed by his father
to that son who .should achieve the greatest
iTistinctiun In life ; . The medal has lain in a
bank vault in this city for many years and is
still there.
Extensive preparations were completed
thl evening for receiving and distributing
returns for Indiana. The returns will bo
collected by the Associated press ami Western
Union telegraph company Jointly. All com
parison will be with the presidential vote of
1M)4.rllie ) llrst ieturns received will show
the result by precincts. There are l.tot in
the state , nn increase of live over this pre
cinct * of 1 > iU' ' A soon as twenty precincts
nave rciwrted the vote will bo added and
hcnt as the llrst election bulletin. Each bul
letin wlU give tlio exact vote of 1H > < 4 for the
name precincts. As soon as twenty additional
precincts have been reported they will bo
nililCM ! to the llrst twenty , and the result
will comprise the second regular bulletin.
Tlio returns by counties will also be sent in
addition to iirecinct bulletins , but it is
scarcely probable that any county returns
will bo received before 1 or U o'clock
Wednesday morning , ns the ticket In Indi
ana contains IIT.IMll names , and under the
law each name on the ballot must bo called
off. This will necessarily delay the returns.
The polls open from (1 ( to 8 a. m. and closet at
0 p. m. No count is permitted , as in certain
other states , until the polls are closed. Tlio
total vote of Indiana In lS4 was 4111,774 , of
which Cleveland received VHl'.K ! ! ) , Hlaino
WSjra , Hutlur 8'Xtt , , nnd St. John It'.iS. It is
conservatively estimated that to-morrow's
vote will reach fi20,000 to fiUO.UOO , showing a
Icrgo increase over 1884.
Next to the result in the state
ot largo the greatest interest centers in this
( Marion ) county , und many wagers liavo
been taken on the outcome. Tliero are
ninety precincts In Marlon county , including
the city of Indianapolis. The vote In I'iv54
was : Cleveland H/.W , Hhiino 11,4:81. : Hut-
lor 4ft ! , St. John 1713. After tlio Marion
county vote interest centers on tlio vote ) of
the Second ward of Indianapolis Gen
eral Harrison's ward which in IbS-l
pave Hlaino ? "J , Cleveland ' "J'.l. '
General Harrison's precincts , the Third , gave
Hlaino SJO , Cleveland CO ; other candidates
nothing.
The democratic state committee has ar
ranged to also bring returns by precincts ,
nnd the Associated Press will handle their
returns , clving the totals of every thirty pre
cincts , and stating with each bulletin that
the returns nro from the democratic commit
tee. Special wires have been run into the
democratic and republican headquarters and
nt several other points in the city. General
Harrison will receive the returns by wire at
his house.
Estimates on to-morrow's result in Indiana
lire widely apart. The Associated Press
correspondent obtained at a hue hour the
following llnul estimates by the named gentlemen
tle-men :
Chairman Jowett , of the democratic stale
committee Indiana will give Cleveland and
Thurman 10KX ( ) plurality , and Matson will
bo elected governor by a handsome majority.
Chairman Huston , of the republican state
committees General Harrison will carri In
diana by l'J,000. and General Hovey for gov-
urnor will bo elected.
Editor Mon > o of the Sentinel My estimate
is 12,000 for Cleveland and Thurman.
Editor llnlford of the Journal I have no
estimates , but you can say that In my opin
ion General Harrison will run far ahead ol
the state ticket , and his plurality in the
etato will be several thousand.
Chairman Jnwctt loft for homo to-
right. Chairman Huston goes in
the morning. Things are veo
lively around the New Denison to-night. Tin
lobby was crowded until midnight , and the
Mrcot for an entire scuiaro was illled witli
zealous republicans , discussing to-morrow
with great animation. The colored people
nro among the most demonstrative this even
ing. They brought out the great Cumber
land Hall , and not less than live hundred men
pulled it through thu streets , cheering wildly
At 4 o'clock this afternoon a crowd ol
nbout live hundred men congregated on the
four corners of Market and Pennsylvnnir
Ktroets. Suddenly there was a commotioi
among them , and they were set to chcerinc
nt the top bent of their voices. The oiva
6lon for this outburst was tiie up
insurance of n short sutured , grey
whiskered man , walking along leisureli
and coming down Pennsylvania avenue
towards them. It was General Harrison ,
going to his law oftU-o. As he reached the
crowded corner the ranks opened , and , sa
luting to their cheers , he pat > ed to his olllce
where ho remained an hour.
At midnight tlio city presents a carnival
npiK'nnuicc. A comic band is marching
throuch the streets , the members wearing
old plug hats and long linen dusters , Thej
nro greeted with cheers and applause al
every hotel. The saloons are doing a thriv
ing business. Quito a number of closing
speeches were made to-da ) all over the state
notably thetse of Governor Gray and ex-Sen
utor McDonald.
Tbo republican committee estimate1
that their speakers made,0 *
speeches during the campaign , 1,00 , (
of which were under the immediate super
vision of the committee , and thu other :
by speakers local to their section , Tin
democrats made even more speeches , but dli
not have as many outside orators. The re
publicans sent out 15'3 different kinds o
documents , of which 300,000 were copies o
General Harrison's record on the liquor quei
tion , and about us many refutations ot th
tlollar-a-du story.

romlncntly connected with tlio Murchison-
iiickville correspondence , liuvo issued the
ollowing in reference to the many rumors
vhich have bvon circulated by Industrious
orrcsponclents recently :
Emphatic denial is given to the statement
iiiblished by a Los Angeles paper nnd tele-
T.iphed abroad that there , was any arrange-
ncnt with the national committee about
vhen the correspondence should bo pub-
shecl ; neither that committee nor any mem-
or of It gave any direction or expressed any
\ish in the matter , and know nothing of the
'ouiona plan until informed by Judge Fitz
gerald and the press. The three gentlemen
laving the matter in charge , viz. , Fitzgerald ,
Sago nnd Otis , all nssert that Chairman
juuy has had nothing to say either in
[ irniso or blame as to the manner in which
.lie correspondence was given to the public ,
lothlng ns to whether the publication was
irematuru , or otherwise , and the only dis-
latch received from him on the subject was
mo asking that the original of West's letter
jo sent to him.
In addition to the above published facts
wo now add that when the Murchison and
West letters were tirst published , the true
lame of the Pomona correspondent , which
lincl been withheld by its owner , was prbm-
sed to bo made public at the proper time ,
.vitli . his consent. That consent has not yet
jc'en given , and we , in whom his confidence
lias been reposed , refuse to betray tlio secret

not a politician , an oftlco holder , nor an of-

family , a property owner and a voter. Wo
ire convinced that ho is the real ami solo
Uithor of the letter to the British minister ,
utd that he wrote for the purpose of elicit
ing proper information upon grave public

This statement is published to the country
upon our own responsibility and because it is

ST. PAUI , , Minn. , Nov. 5. At the head
quarters of the republican state committee ,
Minnesota is confidently asserted to bo safe
for Harrison and Morton by at least 20,000
plurality. It is claimed that Merriam , for
governor , will bo elected but by a small
plurality. It is stated that ho will run behind
hind the rest of the state ticket. The sue
cess of the republican nominees for congress
Hi every district is claimed. The chairmai
of the democratic state committee- concede
the hUto to Harrison and Morton by lfiUO (
plurality , which is u'reduction of 2 < iCOO 01
the vote of 1SS4. Ho claims the election o
Wilson , democratic candidate for governor
by 10,000 plurality , and the ro-eloction o
three democratic congressmen , Harrison
the prohibition candidate for governor , will
the democrats claim , have not less thai
lfi.000 votes , while his immediate supporters
claim the number to bo much greater.

The Ohio Kstlinntes.
, O. , Nov , 5. The claims of the
two state committees as to the result in thi
state are very far apart , each claiming it fo
its own candidate by a big plurality. Hotl
statements , as given out for several days , are
without change * , and are said to bo based 01
a careful poll of the state. The rcpubllcai
ligurcs on the general result show a plurality
of ! W,000. To-night no ono in authority is to
be seen at the democratic headquarters , bu
the statement given out there several day
ago was that the democrats would have i
plurality ot 13,000 in the state and ivould gait
six congressmen.
Judgu Thurman was called on this after
noon by nn Associated press correspondent
In reply to questions ho said that lie was no
prophet , and in election mutters ho believe
that no ont > can prophesy with certainty , bu
ho is hoping and fully expecting the demo

A St. 1/oiiin Demonstration.
ST. Louis , Nov. 5. Tile campaign in St
Louis closed to-night with a big demoustra
tion by the democracy. Saturday night tno
republicans excelled all their previous efforts
during the campaign , with addresses by dif
ferent candidates , und to-night the demo
crats did likewise. Members of thct repub
llcan state committee and leading republican
assert positively that E. E. Kimball will bo
elected governor by a safe plurality , whil
the democrats make counter claims for D. H
Francis , their nominee. All admit that the
contest will bo close and exciting , in the < -itj
especially. Returns for Missouri will b

Ninv VOIK : , Nov. 5. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : HUB. ] 1'rophccicsof success hang thick
HIGH the walls of the republican lenders'
coins in the Everett housu. The presence
of victory Is everywhere.
" \Vo shall win , " said Colonel QUay , with
an unmistakable tone of conviction In his
oico as he walked to and fro between his
irivato room and the window that looked out
on Union square. There was no ond-prcscnt
n the private- parlor except his son , U. It.
Juay , Senator Delamuter and your car-
espondPiit.Vo shall carry Now York ,
iidiana and Connecticut. I don't care to ex-
ircss nn opinion about West Virginia , " ho
continued , in response to my inquiry on the ,
subject. "Matters arc tangled up out there ,
hopy for the best , however , for 1 know all
will lx > done that can bo to secure a fair ox-
ircsslon of popular sentiment. "
Tliis is more than the quiet captain of the
republican posts has said at any time for pub-
ieation since ho begun his work. Then ho
Iriftcd off into comment on the wonderful
demonstration of Saturday afternoon. "It
was the grandest political demonstration
Ihat ever occurred In this country , I think , "
he said.
At the Fifth Avcnuo hotel Mr. Hlaino had
this to say : "Thero is no doubt of our suc
cess. The spirit of that demonstration of
Saturday Is but the reflection of the spirit
which animates republicans nil over the
state. "
Expressions like the above could bo
multiplied , but it Is useless. Kvury word of
every republican presumes victory. The pa
rade Saturday has had its effect alike UJMJII
republicans and democrats. The latter arc
downcast , but hopeful.
Reports from the republican watchers in
the democratic strongholds of this city arc
to the effect that the great parade of
40,000 has nearly demoralized the
Tammany ring. It was a revelation of
strength that was unlocked for. The result
of it may be , however , that it may stimulate
fraud and incite the city democracy to greater
election crimes. If they arc attempted they
will be dealt with promptly and effectively ,
.lohn I. Davenport has scarcely slept an hour
for the past forty-eight , he has been so
busy preparing to circumvent fraud.
Hero are two letters received yesterday at
headquarters , addressed to the national
committee , from Washington. The tirst one
says :
"Dear Sir : Mr. , nn employe in the
ofllco of the supervising architect of the
treasury department at Washington , German
by birth , has registered , and proposes to try
to vote in Hrooklyn , He is said to bo a res
ident of Kichmond , Va. , whore he last voted ,
either two or four years ago , nnd that his
family is still m Kichuioud. Plouse have him
watched. "
The second Is as follows :
"Dear Sir : Information has reached mo
that Mr. , a German by birth ,
has rogisored and proposes to try to vote in
Harlem.eHe is off from Washington on spe
cial leav and 1 believe , with pay , given him
at the request of Hon. S. S. Cox. Ho is said
to bo cither u fugitive from Justice.or to have
been guilty of some contempt of court which
made it necessary for him to secure bail be
fore he could safely return to New York. It
may bo that his case would justify inquiry. "
Every mail brings othcrsof a similar char
acter. It is possible there may bo a number
of arrests to-dav. Over one thousand men
have been spotted. Police Captain McCul-
lough has In his possession warrants for 270 ,
whom it is expected will attempt to vote on
false registration. The greatest danger to
bo feared in this respect is from the "nativo
repeater" men who have been born and
raised on the East side nnd in the lowest
districts of the West Bide , who register in
different parts of the city under assumed
names. The colonizers from other places
will bo watched , but it is a dlfllcult task.
Every colonizer from outside the city is taken
in charge by local gangs and run. This has
been the prevailing method heretofore , but
the scheme has been badly crippled this year
by Chairman Quay.
While it is believed that the last demo
cratic trump card has been played in on this
forged Dudley letter , yet there is no cessa
tion of the vigilance which has characterized
Chairman Quay's headquarters. Anything
that may como up now will bo promptly met.
It cnmu to the knowledge of the republican
committee that the democrats are circulating
counterfeit electoral tickets which purport to
contain ttie names of the republican electors ,
but upon which the names of over half the
democratic ; electors arc printed. The fraud
ulent ballot is un exact fac-simile of the re
publican ballot iu appearance , but the name ?
of the democratic electors are so mixed in
with those of the republican electors that the
fraud can only bo aertnint'd by a careful
scrutiny and comparison with the genuine
list of electors. The llrst four names glvci :
nro those of the four republican electors al
the head of the ticket , but after thai
names of the democratic electors are so alter
lulled with republicans as to give ttio name'
of nineteen democrats in the thirty-six on the
ticket. Hesides , a number of the remaining
seventeen republican names are misspelled ,
or the wrong Initial employed so as to invali
date them in the count. It is said that pre
tended republicans have been hired to dls
tribute these bogus ballots at the polls , am :
that these men will bo labeled with tin
badges of republican organizations , with the
mimes of "Harrison and Morton" conspicu
ously displayed. Every passible precaution
is being taken to prevent the consummation
of this fraud.

WASHINGTON , Nov. fi. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : llii.1 : : There was a kind of Sabbath
calm in the departments to-day. The patri
otic clerks have gone to their homes in such
numbers to vote that their absence was very
noticeable. Those who remained occupied
the partially Isolated rooms and played the
parts of cliiof , assistant chief , etc. , to their
hearts' content. There was an undercurrent
of excitement manifested In regard to the
political situation , andns not much work
could bo done , It was considered the proper
thing to sit around nnd talk politics. Colonel
Lament is authority for jtho statement that
President Cleveleml will not go home and
vote to morrow. At the headquarters of the
republican national league this afternoon
everything was in a quiescent state. Mr.
McPhcrson , secretary of the republican
congressional committee , had gone
homo to vote , saying that ho would
bo back by election night. Major Cook ,
second In charge , said that the work Of the
canvass had all been clone and that they were
simply clearing out the rubbish to-day. They
have done a great deal of work during the
canvass , and believe that good results will
follow to-morrow. The estimate of those
who have been active throughout the canvass
is that the republicans will certainly have a
majority in the house of representatives.

THU KAWSON mVOHCB CASE.
A Final Unraveling of all the En-
tanitlemontH and Complications.
CHICAGO , Nov. 5. [ Special Telegram to
Tun Br.i : . | The Hawsoh divorce case , which ,
during the last two or three years , has pre
sented so many sensational features in the
courts , has been brought to an odd. It was
learned to-day from a reliable source that
the complicated case has already been set
tled , and that only a few more legal formali
ties will bo required to remove it forever
from the courts. When the intense bitter
ness of feeling between the contending par
ties had resulted lu the murderous assault
on Colonel Whitney , ono of Mr. Rawson's
attorneys , in Judge Jlunicson's court room
last summer , the cliruox of the case was
reached , nnd it was thjTl'fcenBntlonpl episode
which led to the settlement. Colonel
Whitney , the victimof the as
sault , refused to prosecute his assailant ,
nnd the result was that 'negotiations ' for the
settlement of the whole case , both in the
civil and criminal courts , were begun. The
terms of the settlement , us they have been
readied , are as follows : Mr. Itawson agreed
to give his wife $40,000 , which sum , it is said ,
has already been paid. The lady will be al
lowed to prosecute her divorce suit on the
bill recently lilcd , charging desertion , and
tlio divorce will be in-anted by default. All
the other civil suits will bo withdrawn. Mr.
Hawson also signed a document retracting
the damaging clfnrges against the character
of his wife. The criminal prosecution of the
shooting of Lawyer Whitney will bo dropped.
Colonel Whitney was averse to a prosecu
tion of the case , fearing the results of the
excitement on his health.
A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
A Philadelphia Woman Shot by a
Sti-anuu Cuban.
Piiii.uini.riiu , Nov. 5. A very mysteri
ous shooting affair , which will in all likeli
hood cause the death of Mrs. Bcttie Stockes ,
residing at No. 3:11 : Greenwich street , oc
curred to night. Early in the evening three
shots were heard in the house , nnd an officer ,
upon investigation , found that a Cuban
named Fred Haiinos had shot Mrs. Stockes
three time , two of the bullets taking effect
In her face , and the third one in ono of her
lungs. The ofllcer arrested Itaimos. but
only succeeded in doing so after the prisoner
had ilrcd twice and been clubbed
into insensibility. Both .Mrs. Stockes
and Kaunas were taken to the hospital ,
where the former Is dying and the latter
either feigning or is actually unconscious.
Not the slightest clue as to the motive for
the crime can bo learned , the woman being
unable , by reason of the wounds in her face ,
to talk , and the prisoner is llkewiso silent.

PARIS , Ndy. . " . fNow York Herald Cable
Special to Tin : Unr..l The Pi-ado trial
bekan at 1 o'clock to-day in the Place of
Justice. The court room wan thronged.
Thousands of people , men and women , were
on hand from an early hour. When Prado
was brought in court between four gend
armes the buzz of conversation suddenly
ceased and the court room was still as death.
Prado glanced at the picture of Christ on the
cross over the president's bench and then
looked arcnind with a pleasant smileas if
going to deliver a lecture. Prado Is not n
largo man , but ho Is well built nnd not bad
looking , and his dark hair Is cut short nnd
brushed straight forward. Ills eyes are
bright and full of Intelligence , nnd
in his general appearance there is an
air of decision and force quite lu harmonv
with his remarkable record. Ho was
dressed very simply in black. Near him sat
Mine. Caultc , n young woman about twenty-
four , whose simple costume called to mind
the Parisian "grisctte.1 It is remarkable
that she was the mistress of M. Gnrceau ,
who represents himself as an employe/if the
Spanish government. Six other prisoners
ami a galaxy of witnesses tilled the part of
the court room reserved for them. A silence
came over the whispering crowd as the net of
accusation was rapidly read. Prado alone
seemed xittcrly Indifferent , glancing about
the room carelessly and twisting his
moustache , and yet some of tlio passages in
.ho indictment were crushing in their se
verity. The detailed statement of his brutal
conduct towards women whom ho ruined
mule not the slightest impression upon him ,
find he only showed sicns of Interest when
ic was spoken of ns one of tlio most daring
of criminals. After various less important
> roceedlngs the examination of Prado was
commenced at 4 p. m.
President At different times you have
calledyourself LinskadcCastillan and Prado.
Again you have denied both these names.
How do you explain this contradiction !
Prado I accept the name Linska because
have not taken the trouble to give myself
liny other.
President We do not know who you are.
All the information you have given about
yourself appears to be inexact.
Prado My "judgo d'lustruction" has
treated me very decently , and I have repaid
nm as well as I could with the fruits of iny
maginatton. They arc bound to make mo
out a great criminal , a Fra Diavola , nnd I
have accommodated them.
President Were you married In 1870 ?
Prado Yes.
President Did you squander your wife's
money ?
Prado I will talk of that , later on.
President In 1883 were you condemned to
four months' Imprisonment for fraud !
Prado Possibly. I was away ut the time.
Ono is often condemned by default without
knowing anything about it. I returned to
Spain at the time of this Aguitant affair.
President You made the acquaintance of
Eugenic Forester , a rich dcmi-inondaine and
she gave you money. Had you any other re
sources ?
Prado No , ( and then correcting himself )
Yes , all that I have previously said on this
point is false.
President Yet you have had full liberty
of reply In the preliminary hearing. You
have oven signed all your testimony after
making any correction you pleased.
Prado Thai makes no difference. I was
merely playing my role.
President You seduced Mauricctto Cou-
ronncau. You had a child by her.
Prado As to the results you are correct ,
but it did not happen in that way , I was al
ready married , you say , but under the name
of Linska do Castillon. I could marry again
under my real name. You don't know who I
am but I know who I am , I may tell you ,
but bear this In mind , if any man living can
be proud of his mother's naino and hold up
his head high when pronouncing it , that per
son is myself.
President You demanded the liand of
Mauricctto Couronncau in marriage.
Prado She was at an ago when a hus
band was welcome. I was accepted at once.
President You continued your intimate
relations with the Forester woman.
Prado Oh , the lllle Forcstcr.'c'cst lo clou
do cetto affaire. When I was with her Mau-
ricetto was not my mistress. She only as
pired to that honor as yet.
President Mauricotto Couronnean became
cncicntet
Prado Oh , yes ; I lived with her. That
was merely a logical conclusion.
President After having seduced the
daughter you wished to seduce the mother i
Prado ( with sarcasm ) Seduce ; ah , we are
often seducers , but moro often still wo are
ourselves seduced.
When the president alluded to the robbery
at Hayan Prado became thoroughly indignant.
Ho rested his elbow on the balustrade , denied
cverythingipullcd nnd twisted his moustache ,
looked most disdainfully upon his accom
plices and referred to them as "those shabby
looking individuals who st | beside mo hero. "
Prado referred to thowitnesses , with sublime
contempt. He said : ' 'They ' are all a set ol
unprincipled wretches. "
"Why , " said Prado , "ono of these ignoble
personages will accuse mo of such bad taste
as to have a servant girl for my mistress. I
will bo perfectly ( rank. I am accustomed to
be served by them , but I never iiitend tc
make use pf them for other purposes. "
At this point the examination degenerated
into a sort of pot-house discussion. The
president allowed Prado to continue without
interruption. Prado went on as follows :
"People told me to sign my own death war
ranti I might hnvo done so out of love foi
.Mauncctto Couronne.au , as I knew that
thanks to M. lo Judge . d'Instructlon
I was about to bo rewarded.
Look at Maurlcetto. What woulc
one not do for such , a woman i
If it was this same woman who , still warm
from my caresses , still tretnbjlng from mj
caresses , still trembling from the passion
created by my kisses , who act-opted the mar
riage offer of a German II faut un Allcmuni
pour uno action parcilln. Then again thi <
woman went and prostituted herself on the
very cradto of my child , after having
prostituted herself with mo in th <
cabinet d'Instructlon ' , transformed into i
boudoir. TliH woman only thought of hci
o\yn liberty , and was eager to place undei
the knife of the guillotine the head ol he
father. .
WOODCOCK DISAI'IMSAIIH.
Will lie Hoh ITp Aialu When the Storm
DIoxvH Over ?
[ CnpiilaMSMIiy / Jdwr , ( fnrclmi lit lint t. ]
Nun , Nov. 5 | New York Herald Cnblo
Special toTin : Lice ] Last Sunday evening
Dr. Woodcock turned mo out of thij VilU
Nlgra because 1 ventured to ask lilui If ho
would like to publicly contradict the scandal
ous rumors alTcctlug his relations with the
kini , ' of Wurtomburg. Every dog has his
day , and now 1 have- the satisfaction of sou-
ing the baron , if not turned out of his luxuri
ous quarter" , at any rate politely asked to
take n leave of nbsunev for a while. Ho hns
disappeared quito Middonly , together with
his sister , who ha * for .sometime formed
one of the party , and this indispensable
llondry. They have gone , it IK said to Lon
don. The j-oynl household bore Is theiefoie
happy once more , for the two hated Ameri
cans are hated by every member of it , Yes
terday afternoon and to-day the king drove
out , accompanied by Dr. Gdc'songer , his
chef du cabinet , ami Haron do Molslmnr ,
Mr. Jackbon and two aide-do camps follow
ing , all smiles , thick cigars in their
mouths nnd top hats on their heads ,
iu the second carriage. Naturally
ono e'onneets Mr. Woodcock's
disappearance wit h'.tho report from Stuttgart
that If he were not Immediately dismissed
the ministers would resign. Everybody at
e-ourt hero is reticent on the subject , but I
know that much excited correspondence has
passed during the past fortnight. Throatsor
no threats , however , the fact is slgnillcuiit
that Woodcock & Co. have had to go. There
is a suspicion among the sulto that this is
only n repetition of their old dodge of taking
themselves off for awhile until the storm has
blown over.
This episode hns been very unpleasant for
Jackson , the king's ' intimate counsellor nnd
the third American complained of. Ho re
mains here. A good deal of misapprehen
sion exists regarding Ills position ami many
misstatelnents have been made about him.
Let me clear them up. In the llrst place he
has no connection with Woodcock and
Hendry and never has had. Ho did not Introduce -
troduco them to the king and has never as
sociated with thorn. As has been stated
Jackson entered the service of the king in
1 81 When ho was American vice-consul nt
Stuttgart. While in that position ho was in-
roduccd to the king. The foundation for
he story that the king was attracted by his
appearance and manners in the garden at
Stuttgart arose in this way : Jackson was
igcd to walk through the garden every
day at 'J from his apartments to the vice-
consul's ofllce. The king , who is very regu
lar in all his habits , walked there at the
same hour. Jackson therefore often met his
najcstv , and saluted him as any man In his
position would do. The story of a carriage
ind six driving up for him unexpectedly to
akc him to the palace is simply fanciful.
Ho hns never abused his privilege nor in-
tcrfcrrcd with state affairs. Some of his
American friends , as related by your Stutt
gart correspondent , charged him with ex
treme soltlshnoss. This , ho tells me , is be
cause ho would not bo continually asking the
icing for royal favors for certain ambitious
Americans. He further tells me that ho re
ceives exactly the same modest salary given
liim when he entered the service of the
king. Ho occupies n couple of modest
rooms nnd denies that ho hns enriched
limself or in any way taken undue
advantage of his position. Ho still retains
the confidence of the king and dally performs
those companionable oftlcQs which have won
it for him. It is true that almost every con
tinental monarch has decorated him , not ex
cepting the emperor of Germany , ns has been
stated. The old Kaiser William gave him
the grand cross of Prussia.
Mr. Jackson's connection with the king
differs entirely from that of Messrs. Wood
cock and Ileudry. Mr. Jackson has
always been recognized as one
of the suite and has lived
in the household. Woodcock and Hendry
have always lived apart. And now ns to the
advent of the latter. They were first heard
of , as stated , at the house of a Mr. Gould , a
rich American in Stuttgart. Ho introduced
Woodcock to the king and also to Jackson ,
Shortly afterwards Woodcock said ho was
going to Paris and told a rambling talc about
improving his voice nnd his education gen
erally. In winter the court removed to San
Uemo. This was four seasons ago. To the
surprise of Mr. Jackson and every one else
connected with the king , Woodcock
nnd Hendry arrived there too , and
were installed in a hotel near
the king's residence. They were
nt that time mere modest in their style and
were only occasionally seen with the king.
The next two winters they spent here in Nice
in a villa close by , a they did in Florence
last year. The rest you already know. It is
unnecessary to add that their movements
hero fully support all that has been said with
regard to their style of living. After making
the most searching Inquiries I am inclined to
support your correspondent iu Geneva
in his belief that the reports ot
spiritual seances are exaggerated and
that Woodcock's influence over the
king is rather psychological than social. Ho
docs not look like a spiritualist nor docs ho
look the impostor and adventurer ho la
painted. Ho is good looking and pleasant
mannered and altogether a very nice young
man. Hendry docs not count. Ho looks
harmless enough though.
I nm perfectly certain there has been no
spiritual seances in Nice , for Woodcocli
or Hendry have been too closelj
watched to escape detection. The
king looks tolerably well and says ho Is en
Joying himself immensely. In spite of UK
uproar , ho has entertained the prefect ,
mayor and other officials at dinner and prp
poscu their health in stirring French. Yes
terday le : received Admiral Greetings , ol
the United States Hags-hip Lancaster , and
his staff. To-morrow the admiral returns
the compliment und will entertain the whole
of the king's suite on board the old ship
The weather continues charming' and the
place Is iilling fast.
