New York, March 2S-Carl Fischer sIansen of this city, who was attorney for Walter Christmas. the representative pf the Danish Government in the over lures for the purchase of the Danish ANest Indian Islands in 1900, was indignant It the conduct of his client shown in lis secret report to the Danish Ministry lately published
 "Ordinarily, legal etiquette. said he, would preSent my speaking But this ,eport is so defamatory and outrageous that feel Justified in washing my hands If the whole affair"
 Mr. Fischer-Hansen described the ,ourse of the Danish report as 1t appear >d to him.
 Christmas undertook. according to MT. F;scher-Hansen to start the sale of the stands for the Horring Ministry. As far hack as 1860 the sale had been almost ,onsummated, but at the last moment this Government had drawn back.
 Thus Denmark could not make over ,ures any more than to suggest that over lures would be acceptable. This Christ has did. He conducted Secretary White If the American Embassy. to London and Copenhagen. At that point" said MT. Fischer Hansen, his services ended. The neeotiations were then carried forward by The American Minister in Denmark, and \hen to an American Minister at Wash ngton The Horring Ministry had gone sut of existence and, in a few months was ,uccecded by the Sehested Ministry. to which Christmas made his secret report. getting forth the alleged obligation he WAS under to various Americans"
 This report was evidently made. said the lawyer with the belief that ft could never see the light of day. But it's pub IcAtion has showed it's absurdity. am suite sure that Christmas never saw the men he mentions. and believe the report vas made for the purpose of personal gain"

Washington, March 2S7-(Special)-The Republican reply t. the charge of Capt. Walter Christmas, the Danish diplomatic agent, who said he had contracted to pay E0o,0Oo Ito American Congressman who helped to get through the purchase of the Danish West Indies. came out today. Through the State Department it was declared that the charge was base less. unmitigated, senseless fabrication" It was said that Captain Christmas rean ly did have a commission from Denmark and started negotiations in this country for the purchase of the Danish West h. dies. These were broken off by the Span tsh war.
 It Is apparent to the officials of the State Department that interruptions in dividuals got hold of Christmas and made him believe that the use of money was necessary part of the negotiations. In that way he was led to think that news paper associations, Senators and Repre- sentatives were actually in his pay.
 During the past year negotiations were resumed directly between the State De- partment and Denmark. Captain Christ mas, in seeking to recover his commits sjon has made public the impressions Of American compatibility which were con- voysd to him by the representatives of those who were using him for personal gain.
 The officials of the State Department do not state who the interruptions persons were, and the fact that several we'll known men are mentioned in Christmas's g report as having hobnobbed with him leaves these in rather precarious posi- Zion. Milt Saul.

 A special from Hazelhurst. Miss. says: This place has been cut of from the rest of the world for the past two days on ac- count of the heavy rains. Many streams in the country overf1owed their bauks and all passage from the country has been stopped with no trsirs and no mails. The town has been completely isolated. The rains continue to fall and there does not seem to be any present prospect of any let-up in the continual downpour. The outlook Is very gloomy for the farm CTS
 ThA amount of rainfall for the twenty four hours ending yesterday evening was perhans greater than for the same length of time in any year The amount of dam age cannot he stated as yet. There is little probability of the trains running through for several days About ten miles east the water is running over the railroad tracks six feet deep and four or five miles wi 'c and two miles or track has been swept away. Photographic lines are prostrated in all localities. No pail has been received over the star routes since ;he rain.

Irish Leader is Said to Be Serving a
 Life Sentence.

Buffalo N. r., March 2SThe Express today publishes story to the effect that Karl Dallman. one of the three men sen- fenced to life imprisonment in the King ston. Ont, penItcntiary for attempting to blow up a lock in the Welland Canal on April 21. 1900. is no other than Luke Dil- Ion. the Irish national leader and famous as a close friend of pr. Cronin, who was murdered in, Chicago
 Three men were captured soon after the explosion which wrecked a portion of one of the Canadian Canal locks. Two of them-,John Walsh and John Nolin-- were identified and their records traced. The third man. who agve his name as Karl Dallnan. was a mystery.
 Two years ago Dillon was teller of the Dime Savings Bank of Philadelphia. An nouncement was made then to Dillon's s friends that he had gone to Europe. A year later the report was circulated that he had been drowned in Ireland.
 The plot to blow up the Welland Canal failed. The men blundered in lowering the dynamite into the locks. placing 1t in such a position that the gates withstood the shocks, Had it succeeded a large area of surrounding country would have been flooded and the loss of i!te would have been great
