New York, March 29.-Wilbur G.
Brown, partner Of Abner Mckinley,
whose name was mentioned In con-
nection with the Christmas charges
made public In congress, has sent the
following letter to Representative
Dalzell, chairman Of the Investigate
ing committee: "The papers contain
extracts read in congress from in
sidious charges by one Walter Christ
mas in connection with the purchase
Of the Danish West Indies. So far
as these charges relate to Abner Mo
Kinley and myself, they are unquah-
fiedly and maliciously false in every
particular. I shall be glad to appear
before your committee at any time
you may desire"
Hay Don't Believe Them.
Washington, March 2s.-The state
department will take steps to bring
to the attention Of tho Danish gov
eminent the charges against the in
tsgrity Of American statesmen pre-
ferred by Capt. Christmas and
brought to the attention of the house
Of representatives. The department
regards the charges rs unworthy its
attention by reason Of insufficient
evidence and obvious error in state
ments of alleged facts. The depart
ment is perfectly aware also that
the Danish government does not in
tend to pay one cent of the 100000
claimed by Christmas as his commits
sion, so that of course none Of that
money could be used to corrupt
American statesmen and newspapers.
A dispatch from New York says:
Carl Fischer-Hansen, who was attor-
ney for Walter Christmas, the repre-
sentative of the Danish government
in the overtures for the purchase Of
the Danish West Indian islands in
1900, was indignant ut the conduct Of
his client shown in his secret report
to the Danish ministry, lately pub
lished. Ordinarily, legal etiquette"
said he, would prevent my speak
ing. But this report is SO defamatory
and outrageous that feel justified in
washing my hands of the whole af-
fair. This report was evidently made
with the belief that it could never
see the light. But its publication has
shown its absurdity. am quite sure
Christmas never saw the men he men
tons, and believe the report was
made for the purpose Of personal
gain"
