IMPROVEMENTS IN PERsIA.-The Shah
OF Persia is about to engage in systenl
OF public improvements, including rail
roads. canals, mining operations, postal
routes, gas works, mills, banking insti-.
tutions and telegraph lines. Baron
Reuter-. G live PrSssisI, and other capt.
talists, are the fortunate men who have
obtained from the Persian Prince mo.
nopoly OF all these enterprises, which
they possess the exclusive right to con.
struct throughout the ancient dominion
of Persia. The Government is to give
all the public lands needed for the rail-
road project, and will compel private
owners to grant the right OF way at mo-
derate prices, and then the contractors
have the sole right of working the rail-
roads for seventy years. As the Baron
has tho right to import all his materials
free OF duty, and all persons engaged in
the work are exempt from taxation, he
o n we'll afford to pay the Government
twenty per cent. Of the net profits. Be-
sides all the foregoing aid, the company
can borrow money and have the Govern
ment endorse their bonds, and also have
the authority to collect the public re-
venues. Persia is q country of great
fertility. Under ground nature has
stored away about all the metals of oom-
mon use. and the precious metals, and
above ground blossom the richest flowers
and ripen the richest fruits beneath the
sun, 'apd all save the spirit OF man is
divine" Baron Reuter- has, it would
seem, nearly got contract for running
the whole kingdom Of Persia, and tue
Shah can henceforth smoke his hookah,
Bit oross-legged on cushion, or harness
up his camels and. trot down to his
oriental Long Branch, after the name
of some other rulers. But let not the
Baron be over swollen with the wealth
and power in prospect. The Persian
monarchs stand on their dignity, and the
honorable Shah might take into his head
to tic his railroad builders up in parcel
of sacks and send them by the short
line water-route to the bottom OF the
nearest river.

ARKANSAS CONFESSIONS The confes-
sions now being made by some OF the
leading Radicals Of Arkansas are very far
from pAlatable in certain high quarters
in Washington. Acting under the same
advice, the President, when ordering
troops to New Orleans to put Kellogg
into the Office of Governor OF Louisiana,
also sent portion of the military forces
OF the Government to Little Rock to
protect Baxter in the Office of Governor
Of Arkansas. Baxter. it was alleged, had
been counted in by fraud, and bis oppo.
nent followed Kellogg's example in ap-
plying to the United States Court, but
did not meet with the same success
Since that time Baxter and his confeder-
ates have quarreled. and number of the
latter have turned States evidence. The
Republican Chief Justice OF the State is
one Of these, and he declares that Baxter
was no more elected Governor than he
was. Another is the editor of one of the
party organs. who offers to prove that in
ouly four Counties over 5000 votes in
tended for Baxter's opponent werc lille
gally and fraudulently cast out. Brooks,
who ran against Baxter, has made An.
other appeal to the co 1rts, before which
these facts are to he laid, and it is now
believed that he cannot fail to have the
Office awarded to him.

THE REpoRT OF TIE AMERICAN BORDER
Commission. N.-Thomas P. ,Robb, Preei-
dent Of the United States Commission to
Texas, yesterday presented to the Secre-
tary of State the report and records per-
timing to the work for which the Com
mission was organized. The scope OF
the report was fully and accurately given
in the dispatches two weeks ago. All
the recommendations 10 the preliminary
report have been carried out by tho Go
vernment Aside from that, the situa-
ton remains unchanged on the frontier.
The Commissioners do not believe the
Kickapoos can be peacefully removed to
their reservation in the Indian Territory
They know the Mexican Government TO
be privately opposed to their removal
whatever else may be the tenor OF their
representations to tho Special Commits
sion sent out by the Interior Department
to bring them to the United States-for
the reason that the Mexican merchants
and rancheros value too highly the de-
prcdations Of this lawless band upon the
Texas frontier. It is source OF too
mnch profit to allow the Kickapoos to
quietly leave Mexico. The Commis-
sloners did not take up this subject in
their report.
