LETTERS ABOUT CHRISTMAS
Congressional Committee Learning
Much of the Captain.

Captain Christmas should change his
name to something not quite so sugges-
tive OF JOY and good cheer. The testi-
mony submitted to the congressional
committee which is Investigating the
charges of bribery in connection with the
sale of the Danish West Indies is learn
ing much about the notorious captain
The United States minister at Copen-
hagen, L. s. Swenson. writes to the COM
mittee as follows:
In view of Mr.. Christmas character and his
absurd and contradictory statements regard
Ing his alleged connection with the negotia-
tions for the cession Of the Danish West In
dies to the United States, I attached no inn
portance to the representations set forth In
the enclosed letter.
Il Few persons believe that the negotiations
were in any way Influenced by unofficial
agents or that suggestions Of corrupt means
were ever made or countenanced by either
government. The Danish prime. minister
4 Mr.. Hovring, IS thought to have been indis-
Greet ID lis dealings with Mr. Christmas; and
other individuals are criticized for having had
anything to do with the two adventures men,
toned above; but tevond that the matter is
not taken seriously. Nevertheless the fact
that such wide publicity has been given to the
scandal causes feeling Of humiliation among
the Danes, and rather strengthens the opposi-
tion to cession.
fs Secretary White at London, writes:
3I- With regard to Captain Christmas may
say that ] considered his connection with
the question ceased when he had carried out
his undertaking to bring about an interview
/ between the Danish minister of foreign affairs
and myself. 1t is untrue that asked him for
Constructions as to the manner in which I
should broach the question to the minister,
and his other statements as to conversations
with me are equally devoid of foundation, ex-
cept that I did mention to him that the minis
ter had, hinted at price between 81, 0OO 900
and s., 600 900. because he (the captain) seemed
to be of the opinion that the Danish govern
ment would sell the islands for So, 500, 900. :.

many readers the seventh biennial san

the reunion will be the largest and most
successful in the history of the associa-

vance to the energy and ability OF the
committee on arrangements in Sioux
Falls. In addition to the societies
affiliated with the association, the COM
mittee has prevailed upon the Norwegian
Danish Press association to hold It's an
nual meeting in Sioux Falls during the
festivities. By this move the sangerfest
has secured more advertising than usual
and the effect will be most gratifying
increase in attendance. Furthermore,
the, committee has interested the Chi

prise and public spirit has decided to-
make the sangerfest a civic affair and the

tival great success and give the visitors
all the entertainment they can stand in

VEIN OF ECCENTRICITY
Gossip About the Royal Family OF
Sweden.

Gossip of royalty seems to be favorite
subject with certain class Of writer's.
A correspondent of the New York Times
has the following concerning the royal
family Of Sweden and Norway:
There Is a vein of eccentricity running
through the whole royal family, in which one
detects the blending of the Gascon and plebe-
ian blood with the blue blood of princes and
the icy cline of auroreal Sweden. Prince Os-
car married Bbba Munich, one of the queen s
ladies, and was in consequence obliged to re-
nounee his birthright and assume the modest
title OF Prince Bernadotte. AS a sort of COM
Densation the queen, of the aristoeratic- house
OF Nassau, has announced that the pair shall
inherit her entire fortune, accumulated by
her uncle from the gaming tables of Wies-
baden Both the king and the crown prince
feel very angry about this, but the queen is
ebdurate, and as result another family feud
has separated wife and husband and heir ap-
parent .
And, as if to add to their troubles, another
son, Prince Eugene is reported to be enam-
ored Of a beautiful American belle! The tur-
bulence of the aristocracy, the mesallances
OF their splendid sons, and-the red flag in
the historic old capital! Truly, the Berna-
dottes must have learned by this time that
uneasy lies the head that wears a crown, +"
and that it might have been as we'll had Jean
Baptiste remained law clerk in sunny south
