BRIBERY IS CHARGED
Democratic Leader Richard
 son Causes a Sensation.
TIE DANISH ISLANDS SALE SCANDAL
Committee Appointed to Investigate Alleged Use of Five Hundred Thousand Dollar Corruption
 Fund by Captain Christmas.

Fund by Captain Christmas.
 WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A genu. inc sensation was caused in the house yesterday by the presentation by Ar. Richardson (Tenn.), the Democratic leader, of charges alleging the corrupt use of a fund of $5o0,00o in connection with the sale of the Danish West In dies. The charges were contained in an alleged secret report of Captain Walter Christmas ro the Danish government, which declared that he had employed corrupt means to bring the negotia tions for the sale of the islands to consum- nation. The report, extracts from which Mir. Richardson read, mentioned the names of Abner Mckinley and his partner, Colonel Brown; c. w. Knox, who was described as 'an intimate friend of Senator Hanna" Richard r. Evans, who was said to represent .Mr. Gardner and his friends in the house, and two press associations, the names of which were not given, as having been interested in the matter. The charges against members of congress were not specified.
 Upon the basis of this report Mr. Richardson asked the adoption of a res. olution for the appointment of an in vestigating committee of seven. The speaker ruled that the matter was privileged after Mir. Richardson had amended his resolution so as to spe- officially include members of the house. Great excitement attended the whole proceeding. Mr. Cannon Qll) insisted that NIr. Richardson's presentation was ragmentary and that the whole mat ter should go over until today in order that members might read the docu ments presented, which included news paper extracts, affidayits, etc, in the record. Christmas, he declared, on his own statement was a briber and worse. But the house voted down the motion to postpone, and the resolution, after being amended in minor particulars, was adopted. The speaker Immediately appointed the following committee to make the investigation: Messrs. Dal- zell (Rep., Pa.), Hit (Rep., Ill), Cous- ins (Rep., Ia.), Mccall Rep., Mass.), Richardson (Dem., Tenn.), Dinsmore Dem., Ark.) and Cowherd (Dem., Mol.
 The army appropriation bill was sub- sequently passed without material amendment. and rule was adopted to make the bill to retire officers of the revenue cutter service a continuing or der until disposed of, the order not to interfere with appropriation or revenue bills or conference reports.
 In the senate Mir. Harris (xan.) and Mr. Quarles (Wis) spoke at length on the oleomargarine bill.
