GERMANY AND ENGLAND IN EAST AFRICA.
THE OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE MADE PUBLIC

FEATURES OF THE BLOCKADE.
London, Nov. 13.-The official correspondence be-
tween Germany and England on the East African oues
ton is published. The German Ambassador, In
memorandum dated October 8, said that Prince Bis
marck had seen with especial satisfaction that Lord
Salisbury unreservedly recognized the community of
German and English interests IN Zanzibar, and shared
the conviction that only the mutual cooperation OF
England and Germany would fulfil the task of Chris
tian civilization Germany and England were united
I'm the opinion that the first necessity was to restore
and uphold the Sultan's authority In the struggle
against the rebcllIous natives the mainland but
Germany doubted the efficacy Of military expeditions
into the interior IT appeared 10 be desirable TO con-
fine their Joint action at first to a maritime blockade.
Portugal must be pressed to forbid the expectation OF
munitions from her colonies in the vicinity of zanzi
bar
Lord Salisbury replied on November g. agreeing TO
blockade to continue until either power notice
of a suspension.
On the same date Lord Salisbury wrote as follows
TO sir E. b MaIet the British Ambassador at Berlin:
1t is posi- large share In the rebellion Is
attributed slave dealers Much is doubtless due to
the errors Of the German Company Their experience
of Oriental habits and is not sufficient But
although much nay with justice be ssd OF the evil results
Of their precpitae action and their disregard Of nauNe
character and religious customs I disposed TO think
that much basis for the belief that the save

Lord Salisbury thought that the extension of French
influence in Madagascar and Comoro had stimulated
the slave trade The French he said were as anxious

force there was very small. He had complained OF

Ford county lies on about the same

winters and the severe cold of New Eng
land, New York, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Nebraska, and the semi-tropical states.
This section lies near the 3Sth parallel.
which is famous around the world as the
most healthful and productive region on
the globe. The altitude does not vary
much from $500 feet. There could be
no greater foe to diseases than the dry.

plateau. Among all the criticisms on
Kansas, there has never been q dissent
ing voice as to its healthfulness, both for

and bring refreshing sleep. Winter days
too severe to pursue outdoor work in

Development Unprecedented.
Climate Unsurpassed.
Soil Unequaled.
A LAND OF SCHOOL HOUSES
CHURCHES AND HAPPY
HOMES.

1t must be skillful pen which says
new thing of Kansas. Poets have sung
her praises, orators have eulogized her,
the most gifted and brilliant writer's OF
the age have paid tribute to her boundless
resources, her unparalleled development
and her astonishing progress. Even the
malignant assaults of wOuld-be rival
states have become tributes to her great
ness, her superior advantages and her
manifold attractions.
Born in bloOdshed, nOurished in the
most bitter sectional strife, her struggle
for existance attracted the attention and
enlisted the sympathy of the civilized
world. The corner stone of the State
was laid by Liberty struggling with OPP
preston The foundation was liberty
and justice, in opposition to slavery and
wrong, cemented in heroism, self sacrifice
and blood.
Those early settlers were glorious men,
who steadfastly battled for the right.
Those who laid down their lives in the
struggle were martyrs those who lived
to see peace and order fairly established
on the broad principles of human liberty
and equal Justice were heroes.
1t was the struggle between Kansas
and the slave holding oligarchy which
opened the eyes of the North to the evils
of slavery, and which nerved the North
ern heart for the terrible struggle of the
civil war. When the strife was ended,
what more natural than that the surviv-
ing heroes should find home IN the land
where Liberty was born (for freedom was
but an empty name before Eastern Kansas
was bathed in the blood of men who laid
down their lives rather than submit to the
Entertainments of slavery.) 1t was this
fact which drew to Kansas thousands of
old soldiers, and accounts for the large
proportion of eX-soldiers in the state, far
greater ratio than is to be found in any
other.

SOIL.

The soil on the uplands which form
nearly nine tenths of the area of Ford
county. is a sandy loan, rich in silicates,
and phOsphates, quick, warm and friable.
There is no easier soil to cultivate on the
American continent. The bottom, or
river lands, vary in width, forming a strip
principally on the south bank of the Ar
kansas river Here the soil is of some
what lighter character, rich in alluvial
deposits and of phenomenal fertility.
The depth of the soil on the uplands is
from eighteen inches to four feet, and in
the valleys from two to six feet. Under
lying the whole of this portion of the
state is a subsOil of porous clay which
readily drains the surface soil of surplus
water, and holds it in reserve for future
use; provision of nature having much
to do with the prolific growth of vegta-

FORD COUNTY.

Ford county was organized in 1873,
and at that time contained 1904 square
miles, with population of about 500.
Since it's organization, territory has been
added to and taken from it, until it now
contains 1850 square miles. or SOL 200
acres. In 1875 its population numbered
S13: in 1878, 216O; in 1880, 1922; in 1886,
777S, and is probably fully $4,000 now.
The county is divided into fourteen mu-
nicipal townships; each having full
boards of township officers, and COM
plete township and school organizations.
The Arkansas river flows through the
county from west to east, and the bot
tom lands form one-tenth of the total
area The county is well watered by
Five Mile, Mulberry, Kiowa, Saw Log,
Duck, Spring, Crooked and Buckner
creeks, besides many other smaller
streams which have no established name
Pure water is abundant and easily OBJ
tanned, and is entirely free from alkali.
