BE was Not 8 Monarchist.

Judge Estee had. some queer expert
ences during the past few months OF
court when over two hundred men were
naturalized. One of the candidates for
citizenship was rather more closely
questioned than even the rigid cross
examination through which each man
was put by Judge Estee.
DO you know the difference between
a republic and monarchy" asked the
judge

'eWell, what is it?'
Il am Republican, said the appli-
cant, unhesitatingly; but Judge Estee
was already busy with the next ques-
too and didn't hear the reply.

Der of House or Senate Who Had
Been srbed or Whom Any One
Attempted to Bride.

Washington. April 2.-The investi-
with the Danish West Indies pur
chase was begun yesterday before the
special committee appointed BY
Speaker Henderson. Beside the
members o. the committee there was
present Niels Gron, who brought the
charges to the attention of Repre-
sentative Richardson and quite a
number OF interested spectators.
Mr.. Gron was the first witness
sworn by Mr.. Dalzell. He testified
in part that in February last parties
in Copenhagen, who opposed the
transfer of the Danish West Indies
to the United States conferred with
him and brought to his attention the
Christmas report
Memhsrs of Danish Congress.
Chairman Dalzell asked who those
parties were. The witness said they
were members of the Danish upper
house, but he did not think it proper
to give their names. Mr.. Gron said
he was at present the representative
in t S country of these parties.
Mr.. Gron gave way temporarily to
Representative Alexander, of Buffalo,
who desired to make a complete dis.
ciaimer Of any knowledge Of Christ,
mas or the Danish transactions.
Continuing his statement, Mr.. Gro3
explained how the Danish parties op.
posing a sale of the islands had per.
suaded him to come to Washington
and place the Christmas report be-
fore congress and the public, so that
the facts would be known. He toll
of having secured a note of introduc.
ton to General Grosvenor, of Ohio:
of arranging to meet the latter In
Washington, his purpose being, he
said, to carry out assurances given
at Copenhagen that he would place
the matter befa influential men and
thus bring it to the attention of con.
gress and the r.tblic. Mr.. Gron told
in great detail OF bringing the papers
before General Grosvenor, who at
first seemed quite indignant, Mr..
Gron said, and spoke of laying Tho
matter before the proper parties in
order that suitable action might be
taken. The fitness said that later
Genera! Grosvenor concluded that il
would be proper to lay the matter
before the secretary Of state. Thia
was done and Mr.. Gron said he Learn

What was your object in bringing

zell.

the witness.
He referred to the reports that he
(Gron) had himself been trying to
obtain a commission for the sale Of
the islands and that the whole mat
ter was a quarrel between Christmas
and himself over the commission.
This Mr.. Gron denied, and in support
