mttted the report Of the committee. Af-
ter detailing the charges Of bribery and
showing that Captain Christmas had
repudiated the alleged report on which
the charges were based. the committee
sums up the results Of their investiga-
tion as follows: "That there is not the
slightest semblance Of evidence that
any member Of congress- either direct
" or indirectly, was offered any bribe,
or paid any valuable consideration Of
any kind or character to vote for the
adoption or ratification of the treaty
for the sale Of the Danish West India
Islands to the United States There is
not the remotest ground from which
to draw the inference or on which to
base the conclusion that there has been
any corruption or wrong doing on part
Of public officials OF the United States
in connection with the negotiations
and purchase Of the Danish West In
dia islands It is plain beyond perad-
venture that the bribery alleged in the
report could have existed nowhere save
in the imagination Of Christmas. since
the whole burden OF his story Is that
he had no money. It Is in evidence
that he had borrowed An order to pay
his passage home from this country"
