Irrigation company filed on land In Platte canyon for reservoir lto 160 feet high and backing up the water for six or eight mllca. The Colorado & Southern then laid claim to a right of way over the land In question by virtue of a deed from railroad companies which had made filings and begun to lay rails In the e anyon.

DEPEW BEFORE COMMITTEE Senator Does Not Enow Christmas and Rat No Connection with the Affair. HAY WRITES EXPLANATORY LETTER Secretary of Stat tu a Letter to Chairman Itnlsell Tells of Ills eolatlna with Christmas. WASHINGTON, April 7. Senator Depew of New York appeared today before the special house committee Investigating charges in connection with the Danish West Indies negotiation. His statement was brief. He expressed astonishment at hav ing seen his name In the Christmas report. He did not know Christmas and never. had seen hlin, as far aa he was aware, although he met thousands of people and could not say just who he had seen, But as to this Danish Island question ha never had had a discussion with anyone on the subject. C. V. Knox 'of Maryland, whose name was mentioned In the Chrlstma report, told of meeting Christmas, whom be considered a cultivated man who had . become en tangled with sharpers. The witness said he consented ' to assist ' Christmas and a contract was submitted to the cotmnlttee by the terms of which Knox was to assist In any proper manner in bringing about the transfer, Knox to receive 115,000 In case of a sale and $350 per month. As to a J5 transaction which had been referred to, Knox said he gave Christmas his check for 13, which wss Indorsed by Hansen, and he produced the check. This was the only financial fact In the entire affair. The wit ness said he never bribed anyone, and nothing of the kind was ever contemplated; he never received any money from Christ mas. I .-'' In response to questions from members of the committee Mr. Knox specifically denied that ho had Introduced Christmas tt W. J. Bryan 'or that he had -claimed to ChrlfitmaB that be was an . Intimate friend of Senator Hanna. Senator Bacon of Georgia told of two casual conversations with Christmas. " A to the tatter's statement that Mr. Baron took great Interest In the purchase of the Danish Islands, the senator declared it was absolutely untrue and he did not, believe In the acquisition of the islands, and con sidered It unfortunate that th United States was In a position where it seemed necessary to take them. Hay Writes a Letter. Chairman Dalzell presented the following letter from Secretary Hay on the subject: ' To Hon. John Dais 11. Chairman Select Committee, etc.: I have received your letter of the 31st of March and In reply beg leave to say:- - In the early purt pf December. 1893, Cap tain Christmas called upon me at this de partment and Informed me that through private and personal sources In Copen hagen he hail become aware that there was a deposition among soma of the lead ing members of the Danish government to regard favorably an overture from the gov ernment of the United States looking to the acquisition of the Danish Islands, tie said that he had been a naval officer and spoke at some length In regard to the desirability of the Island of tit. John as a naval station for the United States. At my suggestion he conveyed what further technical In formation he had pn this subject to Ad miral Bradford of the Navy department. Although he presented no credentials what ever, and expressly declared that he had no official character, 1 thought his story was of sufficient Interest to be worth in vestigation. I told him I would send a confidential and trusted agent of this gov ernment . to Copenhagen to ascertain un officially the true state of affairs and men tioned to nim tn name or Henry wnite, first secretary of embassy at London. Cap tain Christmas auld tie would like to be in Copenhagen when Mr. WTilte arrived and bring him ' Into communication with members of the government, whom he had mentioned. I gave- htm a not of Introduc tion to Mr. 'White and they met In Copen- hagen. where Captain Christmas had ar ranged for an Interview between Mr. White and a member of the. Danish government. Mr. Christmas was not present at this Interview and his Connection with th latter ceased entirely at that time. He after ward returned to W ashlneton and I saw him once or twice,' but' told him there was no need for services of any private person in any negotiation that might be taken up between the two governments looking to the acquisition of the Islands. I enclose a copy of a letter which I gave to the Danish minister In Washington at the time of the. signing of the recent treaty and also a copy of a letter which I have re ceived from the Danish minister, Mr. Brim, dated the 3lst or March, its. very sin cerely yours, JOHN HAY. signing- of the Convention. In a letter to Minister Bruu of Denmark enclosed, Mr. Hay refers to the signing of the convention of cession and adds: The government of the United States Is in no manner under obligation to the gopd , uiiii'Tn in ui i v a to vartirs - an i rtnAiiie.it; iiisj agreement now hauutly brought about be tween the United states and Denmark and cannot admit for its own part or support in any way any such claim against Den mark for commission, compensation or re muneration of Whatever nature which might be made by private parties for alleged services In connection with the cession of the islands In question to the United States. , A letter from' Minister Briin states that "Captain Christmas hsd no authorisation, whatever; to enter Into negotiations In the nam of the Danish government, nor to make any promise in the nam of th government In connection therewith." Mr. Brun also says h gave, Captain Christmas no letter of Introduction, but refused his request in this connection. Representative Richardson said he thought Mr. Hay should come before the committee and should produce any letters he had in connection with Christmas' going to Copenhagen. Hay Ready to Appear. Chairman Dalsell stated that Secretary Hay was ready to appear at any time his presence was desired. Th chairman rather emphatically dissented from Mr. Richard son's suggestion that as th secretary "bad used this man," there should be a more de tailed explanation ct any communications sent to him. No arrangement was made as to Mr. Hay's appearing, but It was under stood he would be beard later. Isaac N. Sellgman of th firm of J. and W. Sellgman, bankers at New York, told of Christmas' asking the firm to take charge of money tranafers in cas of a cession of the Islands. Th Arm wrote to the private banker at Copenhagen mentioned by Christ mas and th answer from that institution was unsatisfactory, giving no confirmation of Christmas' authority. After that Mr. Sellgman said the firm dismissed the mat ter. When Mr. Cousins asked a to Christmas' statement that the Sellgmans had guaran teed certain contracts Mr. 8ellgman laugh ingly declared auch statements were made out of whole cloth. The committee adjourned on call of th chairman. LOOKS BETTERFOR TREATY Indications Are That Landsthing Will Hatlfy Sal of West ' Indies. COPENHAGEN.

He was actively engaged In base ball as early as the '80s. He was one of the or gs nlxers of the Original Western league, and was Its first president. In April, 1886, his presence at the National league meet ing In New York and Chief go. and h's pleas for Kansas City 'on those two oc casions, won for Kansas City its. first and only franchise In th big league. Whitfield was made secretary of the club. The tor nado In May of that year spoiled the team's chances of making money by de stroying the grand stand and flooding the diamond. Tn 1888, Mr. Whitfield again acted as Kansas City a' representative, this time at the American association's meet ings tn Cincinnati and New York, and he was again successful in securing what he went after, a franchise for Kansas City. That was hla last active appearance in the base ball field nntll he was elected president of the present Western league at St. Joseph last winter. Worried br His Work. The work of organizing the new league proved very great, and since he decided to hesd the league that Is fighting the Ameri can association. Mr. Whitfield had. toiled night and day.. Recently the tax upon him began to tell and for the last two weeks he ha been under a physician's care. On May 28 he returned from his last trip In behalf of that league, from Peoria, and was compelled to take to his bed. . Last week at the preat American handicap shoot Mr. Whitfield by sheer force of will at tended th days' contest. He 'was on the verge of nervous prostration and on Sun day he was out of bis head part of the time. Nothing serious was thought of his case, however. Early this morning he arose and dressed himself, then, without making any re mark, stepped to the next room and fired a bullet Into his right temple. He was dead when a member of his family reached him. Mr. Whitfield's plight U laid to over work and worry pver financial affairs. He bad lost heavily on several enterprises In which he was Interested. Mr. Whitfield was born In England forty-seven years ago. He came to Kansas City In 1884, and with the exception of one year, when he was proprietor of the Referee, a small weekly, he has been with the Star since that time.

"Th relations were very pleasant." he said. "We know Mr. Whit field was very busy at the time the echedula meeting was held and did not expect him to be present. All the members of the league understood his position, and we knew he could not give the league aa much time as he would have given under other circumstances. We were satisfied with his work, however, and there was no possibility of film haying any trouble with the league." Mr. Van Brunt said Thomas Burns, vice president and owner of th Colorado Springs franchise will succeed to the presi dency for the present and the probable successor of President Whltefleld may be President Sexton of the Three I league. . DENVER, April 7. D. C. Packard, owner of tb Denver base ball club In th West ern league, when Informed today of the suicide of James Whitfield, president of tile league,' said that bis death would 10-no wise affect the future of the league, whose af fairs are in good shape.

On learning of Whitfield's death be seemed depressed and expressed the deepest regret. 'Whitfield was a No. 1 fellow," said Rourke, "and it' too bad. I can't see any reason for it. There was oertainly nothing about th league's finances that Deeded to worry him, for they ar being ably at tended to by W. H. Van Brunt of St. Joe. He was waking a good salary from the association, besides having g good po sition with the Star. He was given th place partially because of the grasp he bad of the Kansas City situation. His death leaves an Important position to fill. 'I have no idea who will be selected to succeed him. There are at least three good men I have In mind, any on of whom would be acceptable to me. W. H. Van Brunt, treasurer, would make an excellent president, but I doubt It w could get him to take the position, although I believe h would b almost th unanimous choice. Then there is M. H. Saxon of Rock Island, 111., manager of the Three-I league. His name was suggested at th time Whitfield was elected. I hsv no Idea when a meet ing will be called. I can see no reason tor haste, as tb affairs of ths league are In good condition, and can run along for considerable time with Mr. Van Brunt looking after things generally."
