that Mr.. Burrows had made q
great address. Thereupou 1r,
Elkins, with the generous impul-

for an interview between Mr. White and
a member of the Danish Government. Mr.
Christmas was not present at this inter
view. and his connection with the matter
ceased entirely at that time
He afterward returned to Washington
and l saw him once or twice, but told
him that there was no need of the SER
vices of any private person in any nego-
tiation which might be taken up between
the two Government in regard to the ac-
QUESTION of the islands

Very sincerely yours.
JOHN HAY"
Mr. Richardson asked if Mr.. Hay had
refused to appear before the committee.
Not at ALL replied Mr.. DaIzell. 'If
it is necessary he is willing to come
here
Thought Mr.. Hay Should Testify.
Mr. Richardson thought that inasmuch
as Mr.. Hay had received Captain Christ
mas and had given him a letter of intro
Il
had gone to Copenhagen and been met
there by Captain Christmas that he ought
to testify before the committee
Mr.. Dalzell read letter which had
been written to the Secretary of State on
March 81 last by Mr.. Brun. the Danish
Minister. relative to his knowledge of
Captain Christmas and his mission. In
this communication Mr.. Brun stated that
Captain Christmas had no authorization
whatever to enter into .egotiations in
the name of the Danish Government. nor
to make any promises for the Government.
He said that Captain Christmas asked him
for introductions, but that he had refused
his requests.
The last witness yesterday was Mr. l.
n. Seligman, the New York banker men
toned in the Christmas report as the man
who was acting as his financial represent
ative. Mr.. Seligman stated that Christmas
called at his office. having been introduced
to his cousin. Christmas, he said stated
that he wanted to make arrangements
with banking house to handle the fnan-
cial end of the deal, and offered 21a per
cent commission. He made a fairly good
impression, Mr.. Seligman said.
He wanted an introduction to the Pres
ident, and Mr.. Scott, of the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco, was in the office
at the time. Knowing the President very
well, he volunteered to present Christ
mas to the President.
Replies Unsatisfactory.
After that Mr.. Seligman said that his
firm wrote to their correspondents in
Copenhagen in regard to Captain Christ
mas and his authorization to act for the
Danish Government and the reply received
was not satisfactory.
After that they dismissed the matter,
having never had it under serious consid
Grafton. His firm had no financial trans
actions with Christmas whatever.
Mr.. Seligman said that he had met Mr..
Kari Fischer Hensen at the seashore, but
had never had any dealings with him. He
that he was a rising young
lawyer, and that his fatherin-law was
very wealthy.
Mr.. seigman said he had guaranteed no
contracts for Christmas.
This concluded the examination and the
committee adjourned subject to call.

IRRIGATION BILL REPORTED.
Carries Amendments Eliminating Objec-
tionable State Control Features.

Mr.. Mondell tRep., Wyo) made n fav-
orable report to the House yesterday On
the Hansbrough irrigation bill. recently
passed by the Senate with the amend
ments suggested by the President to
Western Congressman.
These amendments eliminate the OBJ
jectionable State control of water to be
used for irrigation and protect the set
tiers against encroachments from corpor-
atoms and large cattle companies.
In his report Mr. Mondell emphasizes
the fact that the irrigation works con-
templated by the pending bill can be con-
structed without cost to the Government.
as the bill provides that settlers on the
reclaimed lands have to pay to the Gov
ernment their full cost Of reclamation.

The House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce yesterday. in execu-
tive session, began consideration of the
Nelson bill, which has passed the Sen

Although the work has not progressed
very far, conclusion was reached to

wishes of the American Federation OF La
Dor. which opposes as much Of the bill as
makes labor a part of the measure.
The Department of Commerce was al
lowed to stand. but references to labor as
part of the same were eliminated.
1t was decided to make the National
Bureau of Standards a bureau of the new
department. and to allow the Life sa wing
