Almost every seat was occupied:and | the members listened eagerly as Richardson | proceeded to present his case. First he read | extracts from the press at Copenhagen. These | were followed by an affidavit from Neils Gron concerning his dealings with certain people here, but they were Dot particularly - sensa- tional The real sensation came when he started to read from what purported to be the report of Walter Christmas concerning the negotiations. He prefaced the reading by the statement that | it would show & “‘corrupt bargain’ worthy of | the consideration of the House. The report was 00 long to read in full, he said “1 will only read the lucious extracts which, if true, should bring the blush of shame to the | cheek of v American,” said he, “for the disgrace ‘this couniry in the foreign country in the world. This e what this corrupt bargainer savs.’ e then proceeded to read Christmas’ ac- e interview with the Prime Minister of Denmark, in which he was said to have told the Minister cf the mecessity for the use of | money to bring the negotiations for the sale ©of the isiancs to a successful termination. He told of acquaintance with Abner McKinley, FresiGert McKinley's brother, and his law partner, Colonel Bro two gentlemen whom Christmas described as “having the entry to he White House and:being familler with the vs of American politics and what member of Congress would have to be paid to accomplich the resuits desired.’” Enlisted by Christmas, The report then described how Christmas had enlisted not only President McKinley's brother and his partner, but two press associa- tions, one in New York and one in Washing- ton, and & prominent banking house in New York in the sale of the islande. In the report Christmas said among other things that he had a5 his special assistants C. W. Knox, an {u- timate fricnd of Senator Hanna, and a Wash- ington lawyer named Richard P. Evans, who represented Mr. Gardner and his friends in the Youse. -The Danish Foreign Minister was re- ported s disgusted With the methods which had to be pursued, but as fnally giving his nogquiescence. Richardson sald that Christmas was speaking of inviting members of Congress to dine with him at the Hotel Raleigh in this city. He then quoted from the Feport as {ollows: “Jt ‘'was not alone ¢ members of Congress 1 had to invite, I @8 my epecial assistants | these guotations, | port this creature has made to the Danish | resulted in putting on foot | the treasury of Denmark for these iglands, to two men—C.

To this the banking house had agreed, as it should in one way or another | have to be recognized by the Danish Govern- | ment."" Richardeon then proceeded: “‘Now.

Travel on the North Pacific in North Dakota Is Interrupted. ST. PAUL, March 27.—For the second time within two weeks the main line of the Northern Pacific 15 blocked and pas- senger traffic is seriously interrupted. Ten days ago the North Dakota section of the line was tled up by the worst storm in fifteen years. Reports to-day show that trains are blocked by spring | rains and floods over miies of prairies. The sudden change in temperature melted j the snow; then came very severe rains, which havé transformed stretches of prai- rie near Mandan, N. D., and between | Mandan and Jamestown into veritable | lakes. At many points the main line | tracks are completely covered by tne| | | water. Farther north the Great Northern line has suffered severely, although the floods have not been seévere enough to block trains. Still farther north the “'Soo’ line has had trouble, although being in a more broken country it has been less affected.. Trains on both lines are de- | layed. The Northern Pacific overland from the West due here Wednesday afternoon has not yet arrived. The over- land Gue this aftérnoon is also blocked and reports to officlals to-night indicate that the blockade may not be lifted to morrow. At midnight a train made up at Jamestown reached St. Paul, bringing |, in travelers from points this side of the flooded -country. ome of the Northern Pacific westbound trains have been trans- ferred to the Great Northern at Fargo and will go to the coast over that route. Reports from . Winnipeg say that the Great Northern's Manitoba division is tied up by washouts, but that transcon- tinental traffic by the Canadian Pacific Railway is but little delayed. L e e e s ] the House, whereas they were mere charges of an outside party. Richardson thereupon changed the preamble 80 as to read: ‘‘Whereas, it is alleged,” etc. Cannon of Illinois made the first rejoinder of any length. So far as he could catch the charges, as they were read, he said it ap- peared that some man named Christmas, who acknowledged himself a ‘“briber and worse,” | made charges on which it was proposed to make an Investigation whether any member of the House of Representatives were gullty of bri- bery or the acceptance of bribes. Cannon pressed Richardson to know whether the report gave the name of a membs or members of the House said to have been bribed, and they engaged in a very sharp clash, Cannon was plainly laboring under considerable excitement, | Richardson insisted that the report did not charge members of the House and Senate. “I have mentioned several of the names,” said he, I will repeat them if need be." “It seems to me," sald Cannon, breaking in, “that it would be. wise lo make this in- vestigation, if it is worthy of investigation, after the members of the House have had opportunity to examine the documents which the gentleman from Tennessee has read. They are to be printed in the record. When they are printed we can sce what substance there is in them. There is no man on the floor of | the House who does not demand & full inves- tigation if the honor of any member is au- | thoritatively called into question. But I do | not belleve that there is & man in the House | who wants to Investigate the mere statement | of an acknowledged thief. I would be glad if the whole matter would go over until to-mor- row when members can have had an opportu- nity to examine the documents. I make this suggestion in the greatest good faith.” “And I have offered the resolution fn greatest good faith,” observed Richardson. “The gentleman asks action on a document tho extracts of which have been read,” retorted Cannon, hotly. ““The geutleman.need not become excited or the | agitated, I am pérfectly willing to have the clerk. read the entire document,” responded Richardson “I move to postpone the consideration of the resolution until to-morrow,’ interposed Can- P Phereupon Meier of Indiana protested that to-morrow was pension day and asked that Cannon modify his motion to make it Saturday. ““Is mot the honor of a member of the House more important than the_consideration of a few pension bills?" cried Plerce of Tennessee. Honor of Country at Stake. Underwood of Alabama then got the floor. He declared that the honor of the country was at stake in this matter and that was far above the honor of a mere individual. He insisted that Christmas after coming here to negotlate the sale of the islands had gone back as the accredited agent of the United States. It mat- tered not, he said, whether he was_thief or { knave, he had made the charges. While ‘he hoped, for the honor of the country, that they were not true, they-should be thoroughly in- vestigated. In answer to an interrogatory from Hitt of Tllinols Richardson stated Christmas’ report was dated October 1, 1901. Cennon declared that he had never heard of this man Christmas and he had no knowledge concerning him, but according to his own belief he was 2 briber and worse. “But he was accredited by the Secretary of to go to our Minister in London.” ““The gentleman artfully says the Secretary of State made this man his agent,”” cried Can- Ton, indignantly. *I know nothing about it, If anything ought to be investigated I am for an investigation. But I am not in favor of proceeding upon the extracts the gentleman has read. Let the documents be printed in full. Then each member of the House can act intel- ligently. No one will be more swift than I to investigate charges affecting Federal officials and members of the American Congress,’ “But these charges are printed in Denmark and were known here from January 28 to Feb- ruary 17,"" 7." interposed Richardson. ““Does the gentleman not think the Secretary of State should have called the attention of the Senate to the charge that $500,000 was being spent to bring about a successful termination of the negotiations?"” T do not know anything about it,” respond- ed Cannon warmly, “and until I do I will say nothing that would dishonor any one. I de- mand a vote.” “I am not seeking to dishonor any one. Iam seeking to prevent dishonor,” replied Richard- son. “The gentlemdn fears to have the House ex- amine the documents before it votes,” retorted Cannon. “I do mot,” insisted Richardson. “That is exactly what I desire. I ask your consent now that this report be read in full from the clerk's desk” But Cannon angrily objected, his obfection being sustained by half a dozen other Repub- licans. The Speaker then put the guestion on Cannon's motion to postpone. The Republicans generally voted for the motion, but such a stentorian chorus of noes came from ‘the Demo- cratic side that the Speaker announced: ‘‘The noes seem to have it."” Cannon did not ask for a division and the Speaker declared the motion lost. The resolutions were then perfected by the insertion of “‘it is alleged’’ before all assertions of fact. At the suggestion of Lacey of lowa the reference in the resolution to newspapers was changed to read ‘‘neéwspapers or press as- sociations.” V.ith these changes the resolutions were put to a vote and were carried without a dissenting vote. The Speaker immediately announced the investigating committee. IR G ST PAYS NO COMMISSION. Answer of the State Department to the Resolution. WASHINGTON, March 27.—It {s said that the answer of the State Department to the Richardson resolution directing an investigation of the charges made in con- nection with the Danlsh West Indian treay will disclose the fact that accord- ing to the record the United States Gov- ernment has refused to have anything to do with any persons as a party to the treaty who were not directly connected with the Danish Government. The de- partment also placed on record its de- termination to pay no commission to any person on account of the cession of the islands. It will be pointed out that our Government had no right to dictate to the Danish Government as to what |t should do in the matter of paying com- o Thas. been d i s 2s been assumed In so! - ters that the fallure of Congress ta ap- propriate the $,000,000, which was to ba the price paid for the islands, would in itself causk afaflure of' tl}g‘t,rumter of the territs it “may be d - that the construction of the rea(( by the State Department . {s'that directly upon the ex- change of ratifications the Islands be- L e e e Magic.

WASHINGTON, March 27.—Following is a statement made by Niels Gron re- garding the Christmas statement: ‘When, early in February last, the contents of ‘Walter Christmas’ secret report to the Danish Government relative to the transfer of the Danish West Indies to the United States be- came public a party comprising a large portion of Denmark’s best and most influential men and highest interests, realizing that sinfe Christmas had in the furtherance of the pend- ing treaty served by direct authority, firét, the Secretary of State of the United States, and afterward the Danish Prime Minister, Mr. Horring, it would be impossible to disassociate his efforts from the treaty or the methods set forth in his report from the officlal negotia- tions; and, realizing further that If the pres- ent treaty was consummated and permitted to take effect, Denmark would be obliged to stand before the world as having made use of and the United States as having accepted such ne- gotiations as said Christmas sets forth and describes in the above-mentioned report, and since it was thought that that would place the people of the two nations in an unfavorable and regrettable light, I was requested by the party, referred to to journey with all speed from Copenhagen to Washington and lay be- fore the representatives of the people of the United States the facts touching certain parts of the negotlations, in order that any further steps taken by the United States toward caus- ing the taking effect of the treaty in question must be done with a.full knowledge of the situation.

GUNBOAT CAPTURES INSURGENT SCHOONER Number of Prisoners Taken and Cor- respondence of Great Value to Colombia. PANAMA, March 27.—Great excitement was aroused this evening by the arrival of the Government gunboat, Chucuito towing a schooner filled with men wearing red bands on their hats, the insignia of the revolutionists. The Chucuito met and captured the steamer off Capira. She is laden with salt and ammunition for the revolutionary general, Lugo, who is operating in the vi- cinity of Capira. Among the prisoners on board the schooner were two officers who were captured at Agua Dulce. Both offi- cers were wounded.

United States Apps2ars to Favor Direct Settlement ‘With the Vatican. WASHINGTON, March 27.—Archbishop Sbarretti and his secretary, Mgr. Broder- ick, called at the War Department to-day and had a short conference with Secre- tary Root on the Philippines. . It appears that the issue now presented to the Government here is one ot extreme interest to the Catholic church. Primarily it resolves itself into the question wheth- er the settlement of the Phllép ine friar land problem shall be effected in Manlla or whether it shall be adjusted at Rome. Archbishop Sbarretti, becoming Arch- bishop of Manila, will be the nominal owner of al! the lands and real property belonging to the friars in the Philippines. Therefore -he will be the person to whom application in such case would be made by the Philippine Commission, and the transfer of properties would be accom- plished in the usual and ordinary legal means common ta condemnatory proceed- ings, such as are provided for in the pend- ing Philippine government bill. But another prqposition is under con- sideration at the White House and that is to have the proceedings conducted at the Vatican by the religious superiors of Archbishop Sbarretti on :the one -hand ahd by a legal representative of the United States Government on the other. In such case it has been suggested that Governor Taft might stop at Rome on his return by the eastward route to the Phil- ippines. ‘This proposition is understood to be strongly urged by Archbishop Ireland and Arcinbishop O'Gorman, who would pos- sibly, in the event of its adoption, accom- pany the first representative of the United States Government to visit the Vatican in an officlal capacity. It is expected that the administration will decide as between these conflicting propositions before the departure from Washington of Archbishop Sbarrettl. Mgr. Sbarretti later called on the Presi- dent. He stated that he had simply called to pay his respects. L e e T ] SUSPICIOUS CONFERENCE ARRANGED Continued From Page One. Herrin, in summoning his confreres over the telephone, conveyed the word that he was authorizeéd by Governor Gage to call the meeting. Citizens of San Francisco will wonder why Herrin, instead of the Mayor, was delegated by Gage to issue the summons. The main aquestion in- volved is whether the Mayor's removal of the bubonic board was in conformity with law. Gage and Herrin may fancy that the time is auspicious for political work, but the San Francisco public would prefer that politics should not be pro- jected into the controversy.

LOS ANGELES, March 27.—John Reh- fus Jr., the three-year-gid son of an at- tache of the Cemetery Association, was run over and killed to-day at Hollywood, a suburb of this city.

It is further more publicly asserted by Ex-fudge Ansel Smith that Governor Gage personally told him that he would appoint him. 4 Now comes the funny part of the mat- ter, provided the Governor finds anything amusing in it. The statement is made that the appointment was given by Gage particularly to placate Dr. Harkness, chairman of the Republican County Cen- tral Committee of San Joaquin County: Orrin Henderson, chafrman of the Board of Supervisors of San Joaquin County, and Ex-Congressman J. A. Louttit. These three are known In San Joaquin County as the H H L gang, and they have been and are bitter enemies of Henry T. Gage. The statement goes in Stockton that they have not been placated worth a cent and that they not omly got from Gage what they wanted, but that they have put the Governor not only in the position of throwing down the candidate of the Fed- erated Trades. but of thrusting in the face of the federation a man whom that organization declares to be its enemy. “ALLIANCE” FORMS nnuc!;. Secret Pledge 713”1‘5:1: by Central Republican Clubs. The members of the old Central Repub- lican Club of the Forty-second Assembly District last evening formed a branch of the Republican Mutual Alllance at = meeting held at the headquarters of the central organization, 1104 Market street. ‘A. C. Berthier, general organizer of the “Alliance,” addressed the meeting at the request of D. H. Skillin, president of the Central Republican Club. Berthier out- lined the nlans of the ailiance and said that. its important feature was a pledge te stand by each other and vote as a unit on all propositions. Speeches in a similar strain were made by Dr. Crawford and Messrs. Nagle, Lewis, Spencer and Schafer. Behind closed doors the members of the club took the pledge of the alliance and particular care was taken that no “out- siders” were in the rooms at the time. The election of a president, secretary and treasurer was then proceeded with, it being decided to elect the balance of the officers at the next meeting. Dr. William T. Kibler was placed in nomination for president and some ex- citement was caused when a member of the club named McGinnis opposed the candidate. McGinnis stood alone in nis opposition, however, and Dr. Kibler was unanimously elected as president. H. C. Temple was elected secretary and | Alexander Simons treasurer. A committee of three was appointed to seiect _permanent headquarters for the club, Messrs. Howe, Nagle and Spencer being selected by the chair. Dr. Crawford and Messrs. Lewis, Nagle, Schafer and Baurman were appointed # committee on organization. General Ore genizer Berthier announced that at the next meeting he would appoint five deputy organizers for the district. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the presi- dent. —————— Club Elects Delegates.
