CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 23.--United States
Senator ]. H. Gallinger, In an interview to-
day, predicted that sharp opposition to the
ratification Of the new treaty OF reciprocal
trade with France would develop at Wash

Many hosiery manufacturers, the senator
said, since the passage Of the Dingley tariff
bill have equipped their mills with costly
imported machinery for the manufacture OF
this class of goods and the proposed reduc-

in wiping out this new branch OF the indus

UNCOvERS A BIG SCANDAL
German Colonial ONCE Sells Inn
portunt Grants for
Song.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Investgation shows
that the facts in the Cameroons scandal made
public by the Tageblatt November is, when
that paper said an apparently corrupt deal
had taken place by which the chief OF the
colonial department gave away 10000 square
kilometers of CAMERON soil. estimated to
be worth about 10000, 900 marks, to various
high personages, far exceed the Tageblatt's s
story. The promoters, it appears, first
formed a company and soon sold out to a
new company formed at Brussels and made
UP of Belgians, Englishmen and several
Americans, for 1S,500,O00 francs. The con-
cession, it further appears, really cost them
nothing. The first company was named in
the concession Sudekamerun. Prince Hohen-
lohe- Oehringen was one of the original con-
cessioners For this reason the emperor
forced his resignation as chief court cham
berlain.
The facts in the most recent grant of a
concession are even worse. To company
called the Nordwest- Kamerun territory was
conceded larger than Bavaria. 1t lies in
the hinterland of the Cameroons. is ex-
tremely fertile and includes valuable forests
worth a thousand times the obligations
the company assumes toward the
empire. The entire financial cbliga-
ton is only a 1O00 marks contribu-
ton. to the proposed Tchad lake expedition,
while there are other undertakings to spend
5000, 900 marks within ten years in improve
ments 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
III the company within twelve years con-
istructs r. railroad coastwards AT the ex-
piration of the second term the immense
tract becomes the companys property abso-
lutely. The company also agrees to pay the
government small share Of its net profits.
There is no provision that the company or
a majority of it's shareholders must be Ger
mans.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
learns from the colonial office in explana-
tion of the above that the present chief, DR..
Won Buchka. adopted the British policy Of
getting big moneyed syndicates to take
hold of the colonies on the prospect of large
profits. 1t is understood that the whole
affair will be thoroughly ventilated in the
Reichstag and that DR.. Won Buchka's days
as an official are probably numbered.
