PARTNERS OF KING LEOPOLD

Ryan and Rockefeller, Jr., "Done" by
Monarch.
New York, Dec. 24.-That Thomas
Fortune Ryan, though an equal part
ner is only King Leopold's catspaw in
the Congo, is asserted in signed ar
ticle in the American.
ut is true" says the American,
that Ryan, with young Rockefeller
and others, holds concession of i'm
mense value But he does not con-
troll it.
when Leopold failed to draw Ital-
ian capital and labor to Africa he
looked to Wall street as his only sal
walton. don't know how much money
the Ryan crowd gave, but it was an
enormous amount l do know, how
ever that with the money the old king
began purchasing more shares. He
had his agent find out just how much
stock he would need to have an equal
interest with the Ryan crowd. Then
he acquired all the shares he needed
His next move was to force then
into an agreement that for every
American or European employed by
Ryan there must be a Belgian EN-
ployed by the king. He then had the
advantage of Ryan in every possible
way.
Not only did the king insure a ia
, profit to himself from the American
syndicate, but he fixed himself so HI
appears only as a shareholder in tn,
syndicate. The territory he gave owe
to Ryan can not be interIered with b.
Belgium or any other nation; it ha

a condition produced by the failure o.
the kidneys to properly filter or strair
