-Four Vessels Arrived at New York sun.
dsv Hut None Had Seen the Dsnmark.
NEW YORK, April "a. None OF the
vessels which arrived in port Sunday
brought any news Of the fate of the
passengers Of the abandoned steamer
Danmark. The Amsterdam from Rot
terdam and La Champagne from Havre
both reported heavy weather. The
Amsterdam passed the spot where the
City Of Chester had the day before
sighted the Danmark but nothing was
then visible. The Amsterdam brings
3, cabin and 43S steerage passengers,
La Champagne brings "a cabin and s92
stcerage passengers. The steamer Servia
and the Polaria from Hamberg, arrived
off Quarantine during the evening.
Neither brings any news of the Dam
mark, though they followed about the
same course that the Danmark took.
They experienced reasonably good
weather. The agents Of the Thingvalla
line hope that the Helvetia or Servia
which are expected to arrive to-day,
will bring the Danmark's $ passengers. IL
is also possible that some ship has picked
up the Danmark's people, and made for
the Azores. 450 miles from the locality
where the Danmark is supposed to have
become disabled. There is no telr-
graphic communication with the Azores.

HISTORY WILL REPEAT.

A Secret Organization Formed to Colon
ise Lower California, and Then Declare
Independents From Mexico.
Los ANGELES, CAL, April l6.-The se-
cret order of the Golden Field was
formed here recently with the object Of
seizing Lower California, making it an
independent republic and then getting
admission to the United States. The
founder is said to be an ex-Confederate
officer, who has been working secretly
on the scheme for over year. The Or
der has many members in Southern
California, Texas and Arizona. The
plan is to gradually introduce members
into Lower California, have them be-
come Mexican citizens and then declare
. republic. As the order will have
many influential men in this country
admission to the Union will be repeti-
tion Of the annexation of Texas. Cata-
line harbor, it is said, has been selected
as the base Of supplies. 1t is known
that several prominent men in Los An
geles have been approached with large
money offers to take charge of the un-
dertaking, but they have all refused, as
the revolution business in Mexico is
very risky,

Neither Troops Nor United States

WASHINGTON, April II. "A letter has
been received here from Lieut.. John NJ.
Carson, Jr., Fifth United States Cavalry,
who has been serving in Oklahoma with
his regiment for the past four years.
Being familiar with its topography, eli.
mate and resources, and being free from

Oklahoma. The lieutenant says:
IL fear that neither troops nor United
States courts will prevent bloodshed in
the settlement Of Oklahoma. The old
boomers have raised wind that prom.

patIng that this cannot be controlled are
anxious about their chances for securing
land. The country has been SO tremend.
ously doomed and people have thereby
been so far misled by inaccurate state
ments, that comparatively few have any
idea of what Oklahoma really is. Per
haps tive-sixths of the people regard
Oklahoma as a near approach to the Gar
den Of Eden where it Ii simply necessary
to cast seed over the ground in order tc
reap bountiful crops, and that they can
sit under vines and fig trees, SO to speak
in the enjoyment Of an equablc and
magnificent climate. A residence OF
twelve months in Oklahoma will com.
pletely dispel this illusion, des.
troy many carefully nourished hopes
and wipe out many small fortunes,
especially should the settlers experience
one Of our cold winters, followed by a
long, dry, hot summer, such as We had
in 1885 and 1886. As the amount Of land
to be opened to settlers is limited about
$780, 600 acres. - the chances FOR getting
any Of it will vary inversely with the
number Of people who want it. The old
boomers fully realize this and see the
chances for securing a piece Of good
land daily lessening. OF the 800, ,OOC
acres included in the presidents procla.

can be properly designated as good farm

Northwest the approaching admission of
four new states into the Union, doubt
less with legislatures inspired with
granger sentiments toward railroads,

Whether they have been picked up by
some passing steamer or have taken to
