THE CHRISTMAyC CASE.
Jenator Depew Denies Ever Having een the Danish Captain
Secretary Hay Tells What He Knows About Matter
Gave Christmas Note Of Introduction to Heny White.

Washington, April 7.-Senator De-
pew OF New York appeared today be-
fore the special house committee in
vestigating charges in connection with
the Danish West Indies negotiations
His statement was brief. He expressed
establishment at having seen his name
in the Christmas report. He did not
know Christmas and never had seen
him, as far as he was aware, although
he met thousands of people and could
not say Just whom he had seen. But
as to this Danish islands question he
never had a discussion with anyone on
the subject.
c. w. Knox Of Glenelg, Nd, whose
name was mentioned In the Christmas
report, told Of meeting Christmas,
whom he considered a cultivated man,
who had become entangled with sharp
ers The witness said he consented TO
assist Christmas, and a contract was
submitted TO the committee by the
terms of which Knox was to assist
in any proper manner In brining about
the transfer, Knox TO receive $4,000 In
case Of sale and $3.50 per month As
to s. transaction, which had been
refererd TO, Knox said he gave Christ
mas his check for S., which vas en-
dorsed by Hansen and he produced
the check This was the only financial
transaction I'm the entire affair. The
witness said he never bribed anyone,
and nothing OF the kind was ever con-
taA L.
from Christmas. In response 10 ques-
tons from members Of the committee,
Knox specifically denied that he intro
duced Christmas to w. j. Bryan or
that he had claimed to Christmas that
he was an intimate friend Of Senator
Hanna.
Senator Bacon OF Georgia told Of
two casual conversations with Christ
mas. AS to the latter's statement that
Mr. Bacon took great interest In the
purchase Of the Danish Islands the
senator declared II was absolutely I'M
true. as he did not believe In the ac-
QUESTION Of the Islands and considered
Il unfortunate that the United States
was IN a position where II seemed nee
essary 10 take them.
Chairman Dalzell presented the fol-
lowing letter from Secy. Hay on the
subject.
ITO Hon. John Dalzell, Chairman Sc
lect Committee, Etc.-I have received
your letter Of the 3lst OF March, and
in reply beg leave 10 say:
In the early part OF December. 1899
Capt. Christmas called upon me at this

IN Copenhagen he had become aware
that there was disposition among
yome Of the leading members OF the
Danish government TO regard favor
ably an overture from the government
NJ the United states looking to the
