! Washington, March PA genuine
sensation was caused in the house
today by the presentation by Mr..
Richardson of Tennessee, democratic
leader, Of charges alleging the corrupt
use of fund of 100000 in connec-
tion with the sale Of the Danish West
Indies. The charges were contained
in an alleged sercret report Of Captain
Walter Christman to the Danish gov
ernment which declared that he had
employed corrupt negotiations for
bringing the sale of the islands to
consummation.
The report, extracts from which Mr..
Richardson read, mentioned the names
of Abner Mckinley and his partner,
Colonel Brown; G.. w. Knox, who was
described as an intimate friend Of
Senator Hanna; Richard P. Evans,
who was said to represent Mr.. Card
ner and his friends in the house, and
two press associations, names Of
which were not given. as having been
interested in the matter.
q The charges against members Of
congress were not specific. Upon the
basis of this report, Mr.. Richardson
asked the adoption of resolution for
the appointment of an investigating
committee OF seven.
The speaker ruled that the matter
was privileged after Richardson had
amended his resolution so as to
specifically include members Of the
house.
Great excitement attended the
whole proceedings.
Cannon of Illinois insisted that
Richardson's presentation was frag-
mentary and that the whole matter
should go over until tomorrow in or
der that the members right to require
the documents presented, which in
cluded newspaper extracts, afidavits,
ETC., inserted in the srecord. Christ
man, he declared, on his own state
ment, was briber and worse. The
house voted down the motion to post
pone and the resolution after being
amended in minor particulars was
adopted.
The speaker Immediately appointed
the following committee to make in
| vestiagtion: Messrs Dalzell, republi-
l.can of Pennsylvania; Hit, republican
of Illinois; Cousins. republican of
Iowa; McCalla, republican of Massa
chusetts; Richardson, democrat Of
Tennessee; Dinsmore, democrat eft
Arkansas, and Cowherd, democrat of
Missouri.
The army appropriation bill was
subsequently passed without material
amendment and rule was adopted to
make the bill to retire officers of the
revenue cutter service continue the
special order until disposed of, the Or
der not to interfer with appropriation
or revenue bills or conference reports.

Be not among those who give their whole life to the world and then give their corpse to God It does not seem fair that while our pulses are in full play of health we serve ourselves and serve the world and then make God at last the present of a coffin. It does not seem right that we run our ship from coast to coast carrying cargoes for ourselves and then. when the ship Is crushed in the rocks, give to God the shivered timbers: It is a great thing for a man on his dying pillow to repent-better that than never at all; but how much better. how much more generous. 1t would have been if he had repented fifty years before! My friends. you will never get over these procrastinations.
 Here is a deusion. People think, "I can go on in sin and wordliness but after awhile l will repent and then il will be as though I had come at the very start" What mistake, No one ever gets fully oyer procrastination. If you give your soul to God some other time than this you will enter Heaven with only half the capacity for enjoyment and knowledge you might have had. There will be
