SCANDAL GROWS.
Berlin Official Circles Are
Greatly Agitated.

Berlin, Nov. 23.-Investigation shows
that the facts in the Cameroons scan
dal made public by the Tageblatt Nov.
IS, when that paper said an apparent
ly corrupt deal had taken place, by
which the chief of the colonial depart
ment gave away 80 900 square kilO-
meters of CAMERON soil estimated to
be worth about 10000, 900 marks to var
ious high persOnages, far exceed the
Tageblatt's story. The promoters, it
soon sold out to a new company form
ed at Brussels and made up of Bel
gians. Englishmen and several Ameri-
cans for Is. SOC, 900 francs.
The concession it further appears
really cost them nothing. The first
company was named in the concession,
Sudekamerun. Prince HOhenlohe-
Oehringen was one of the original con-
cessioners. For this reason, the en-
perOr forced his resignation as chief
court hamberlain.
The facts in the most recent grant
of concession are even worse. To a
company called the Nordwest-Kan-
than Bavaria. 1t lies in the Hinterland
of the CamerOonS, is extremely fertile
and includes valuable forests worth
thousand times the obligations the COM
pany assumes towards the empire
The entire financial obligation is only
100000 marks contribution to the pro-
posed Tchad lake expedition, while
there are other undertaIS kings to spend
prOvements of the tract, to construct
roads, steamer lines, plantations and
factories, all redounding to the benefit
of the company. The concession was
granted for fifty years, which is to be
extended for sixty years more if the
company, within twelve years, con-
structs a railroad coastwards.
AT the expiration of the second term
the immense tract becomes the COM
pany's property absolutely. The COM
pany also agrees to pay the govern
ment a small share of its net profits.
There is no condition that the company
or a majority of its shareholders must
be Germans.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns from the colonial office, in
explanation of the above, that the pres
ent chief, DR.. Won Buch1a, adopted the
British policy of getting big mOneyed
syndicates to take hold of the col
Onies on the prospect of large profits. It
is understood that the whole affair will
be thoroughly ventilated in the reich
stag, and that DR.. Won Buchkas days
as an official are probably numbered.

NEGRO's WEARY WATCH.
Owners of His Charge Have Been
Gone Three DAYS.

Chicago. Nov 23.-''Stay with this
horse until we return
That was the order Scott Smith, a
negro boy of No. 1885 Armour avenue
received from two unknown men as he
watched them leading a sick horse
along West Madison street, near Prairie
avenue, Austin.
Today the boy was at his post,
watching and caring for the suffering
brute. On a pile OF straw and among
pieces of carpets given by the neigh
near the sidewalk with his charge.
About three o'clock Monday after
noon two men were driving along West
Madison street, leading the horse On
reaching Prairie avenue the horse fell,
and young Smith ran to the assistance
of the two men. All efforts to get the
horse up failed and the men drove on.
telling Smith they would return for the
animal later on. Monday night the
young darky was busy with his suffer-
ing patient. He removed his own over
a piece of carpet was given to the boy,
and that night and last night he stuck
to his post of duty. DR.. James Bond of
Kinzie street and F'ifty-f1rst street gave
a prescription to Smith to be filed for
the horse, and he managed to get
enough money from neighbOrS to pay
for it.
Today Smith has his charge wen COW
cred and he kept moving from a little
fire he had built to the horse. Sharp
pain made the brute struggle wildly.
Don't you worry, poor old nag,
said Smith, this boy is going to stay
with you. GeeI But I wish I had some
more drugs. Course I'm going to stay.

Club Elected.
1T WAS A REVIVAL.

The Republican f1ambeau club held a
big meeting at their hall last evening,
in the old court house. Pictures of Ma
jor T. J. Anderson and Congressman
Chas. Curtis We're formally presented
to the club. Governor Stanley was
there and was received with loud ap-
plause as he entered the hall.
The club hall was decorated with the
national colOrs. Long streamers of
bunting were draped along the sides
of the room, while flags and shields
were placed here and there where they
would heighten the effect. A large pic
ture Of President Mckinley occupied a
place in the front of the hall, while on
the sides and rear of the room were
hung the pictures of Chas. Curtis, Ma
jOr T. J. Anderson, Abraham Lincoln,
Frederick Funston, George Washing
ton and John A Logan. On the desk
was a large bouquet Of roses, the gift of
Mr.. 7. f. Snyder.

What made Logan great? He fought
for the great Republican doctrine. We
idolize John A. Logan and cherish his
memory.
Look at Lincoln's picture. What an
honor it is TO have his picture in such
good honest company. He was the

because he stood for Republican prin-
ciples.
why do we cherish the name of
Fred Funston. Because he went at the
head of the Twentieth Kansas to plant
the flag of the American Republic there
where I hope it viii remain forever.
I am glad to meet with you tonight
Look at Kansas. All her glory has been
during the time of Repu blicanisn. The
good name of the state was never de-
graded until it left the Republican
party. AS long as we stand on Repub-
lican principles, we are right The Re
publican party settled the money Ques-
tiOn and settled it right. The Repub
lican Flambeau club is known all over
the state of Kansas. You have made
name for yourself, and one of which
you ought to be proud
Ex-senator Matt Edmunds of Jeffer-
son county was present at the meeting
and was called on for a speech. He
said: 7 did not come here to make a
speech. came to help you celebrate
and listen to Governor Stanley. I en-
joy meeting with you, and agree in all
that Governor Stanley has said. I
know that the Republican F1ambeau
club has been true to the Republican
party. We have had hard times to
to keep the party up, but we are now
on top and we intend to stay there.
''The Republican party always swings
into line just at the proper time and all
things are landed safe. When the Re
publican party is in the saddle we have
good times. When the Democratic party
is in the saddle we have bad times The
moral in business life is to have moth
ing to do with an unluc6y man. That
is right and applies to the POpuHst and
Democratic parties. They are no good.
'The fusionists and Populists are re-
deeming themselves by the Republican
party taking them back into the fold.
I think that every member of the
Democratic party is proud of the

achievements of the Republican party.
1 heard a prominent Democrat say not
long ago, that Mr.. Mckinley will be
his own successor, and the next year
will be Dewey. That is twelve years of
Republicanism and prosperity. There is
a demand among the Democrats for the
Republican party to stay in power.
"Chas. Curtis is a bright young man.
He is never tired and is always looking
out for the best interests of the state
of Kansas. He is not man to be laid
on the shelf, but a man growing in
power, both in Kansas and Washington.
He is always right and next fall we will
all help him.
The audience listened to the speeches
with close attention and were liberal in
its applause.
A letter received by o. X Swayze,
from Hon. Thomas Ryan, is in part as
follows: In the character and in
huence of its membership, the club is
most fortunate. Such an organization
of young men is capable of great in
fluence, and merits the aid and encOur-

American people.
