WASHINGTON, d. c., March 27.-The
resolutions presented by Mr.. Richardson
in forcing Investigation of the Danish

lows zsje -.5-.s.
''Nhereas, One Walter, Christmas, a sub
iect of Denmark, who is now and who
has been for several years diplomatic
agent and representative Of the govern
ment of Denmark and empowered to ne
gotiate with the government of the Unit
ed States for the sale of the Danish
West Indies islands TO the United States
and who was also the agent of the United
States for the purchase of the said ISL
andS, has submitted a secret. and conf
Dental report to his own government;
and
whereas, The said Christmas, agent
and representative as aforesaid in his
said report to his government, declares
and sets forth among other things the
fact that the government Of Denmark
had contracted, agreed and, obligated itself
to pay and turn over to him, the said
Christmas, 10 per centum, or about $780,
600 of the proceeds of the purchase
money arising from the sale of said ISL
ands to the United States when the same
shall have been paid by the United States
to Denmark, for the express purpose, as
has been declared and set forth by him
in his said secret report to his govern
ment of bribing of members of the United
States congress, including members Of
the house of representatives and other
prominent citizens of this country and
for substituting American newspapers 10
the end that the pending treaty between
the United States and Denmark for the
sale of tho islands by the latter to the
former government may be consummat-
ed"
The resolutions further recited that
said secret reports Stated that $500, 900
shall be Immediately paid to Christmas
if the purchase money is paid by the
United States for the corrupt measures
set forth. The tendency Of the ratiica-
ton of the treaty is also set forth.
In conclusion the resolutions cite that
a select committee of seven members
from the house of representatives be ap-
pointed by the speaker to examine into
the character and alleged circumstances,
and contracts, (which in any manner
have for their object the bribery of
members Of the United States congress
or of the payment of any valuable con-
sideration of any kind or character to
them or to any of them to vote for or to
assist in procuring the disposal, adoption
or ratification of the said treaty of sale

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
Mr.. Lacey Qowa) the reference in the
resolution TO newspapers was changed to
read:
Newspapers or press associations"
With these charges the resolutions
were put to a vote and were carried with
out a dissenting voice. The speaker i'm
mediately announced the investigating
committee as follows:
Representatives Dalzell. Pa.), Hit old,
Cousins Qow0, Mccall CMass), Repub-
licans, and Richardson CTenn), Dins-

can offer you a varied selection.
VIII you be workman, a peddler, an
elderly gentleman from the prov
inces, or a street beggar?"
Il think the elderly gentleman
from the provinces would suit me
best" l answered, while it will not
necessitate a change of dress"
Very good, then, so it shall be-"
he replied. We'll be a couple of
elderly gentlemen in Paris for the
first time. Let me conduct YOU to
my dressing-room, where you will
find all that is necessary for your
makeup"
He thereupon showed me to a
room leading out of that in which we
had hitherto been sitting. 1t was
very small, and lighted by means of
a skylight. Indeed, it was that very
skylight, so he always declared, that
induced him to take the fiat.
If this room looked out over the
back, or front, it would have been
necessary for me either to have cur
tains, which l abominate, or to run
the risk of being observed. which
would have been far worse he had
remarked to me once. .'Needless to
say there are times when l find it
most necessary that my preparations
should not be suspected"
Taken altogether, it was a room
that had strange fascination for
me. l had been in it many times be.
fore, but was always able to discov-
er something new in it. 1t was a
conglomeration of cupboards and
shelves. large variety of costumes
hung upon the pegs in the walls,
ranging from soldiers uniforms to
beggar's rags. There were wigs of
all sorts and descriptions on blocks,
pads of every possible order and for
every part of the body, humps for
hunchbacks, wooden legs, boots rang
ing from the patent leather of the
dandy to the toeless foot-covering OF
the beggar. There were hats in
abundance, from the spotless silk to
the most miserable head coverings
some of which looked as if they had
been picked up from the rubbish,
heap. There were peddlers' trays fit,
ted with all and every sort of ware
faro-table, a placard setting forth
the fact that the renowned Prof
Somebody or Other was most re-
markable phrenologist and worthy
OF visit. In fact there was no say
ing what there was not there. Every
thing that was calculated to be use
