Company for the year ending Dec. IL, 1855
has been received. The first part of the re-
port reviews at some length the relations
between the government and company,
with resume of the non-actIon taken by
congress on the Outhwaite bill. The report
continues: The result of the closing months
Of last year, with the present outlook for
the current year, would not justify your

dends, During the last year, owing mainly
TO deficient crops in Kansas and Nebraska,

ALBANY, GA, April 20-The crop pros

OUR MINISTER TO CHINA.

A Belief That the Incumbent Won't
Be Removed at once.
WASHINGTON, April 81. President Cleve-
land allowed John Russell Young to remain
as minister to China long after all other
ministers had been suspended, because
Young had been appointed as friend OF
Gen. Grant.
1t seems not unlikely 20 diplomats here in
Washington that President Harrison may
allow Gen. Charles Denby Of Indiana,
Young's successor, 70 remain at Peking long
after every other minister has been super
seded, because he has been so
advised by Gen John w. Foster Of Indiana,
formerly our minister to Mexico, SPAN, and
Russia, at whose suggestion President
Cleveland appointed Deuby. Denby, though
a democrat, has always been on the friend
lest terms with all leading Indiana repuo-
hcans. Harrison included, and they are
glad. it IS said, to favor him now,
especially since he is right 10
the midst Of a piece Of work which he can
finish better than a new man. Denby has
made splendid record as minister to
China. He was one Of the very best for
eign appointments made by the last admin
istration. Harrison is trying hard to get
lust as good 3 man to succeed him.
The President wants lawyer Tor THIS
place who is at the same time enough OF a
business man to promote American com
mercial interests there. he hasn't asked
MIR. Wharton Barker Of Philadelphia TO
select him. Mr.. Barker has too many axes
TO grind in China.

CLOSE WATCH ON THE BOOMERS.
a Report That They Are to be De-
priyed of Their Firearms

KANSAS CITY, April 2l.-Ths Times Ar
kansas City special says that it is reported
there that Gen. Merritt has issued orders to
the troops TO take possession of all guns and
pistols carried by the boomers" They
are not to be confscated, but the idea is to
hold them until the excitement is over as
precautionary measure asainst hloodshed
PICKPoCKETs AT WORK.
Tonight being the last chance for per-
sons bound for Oklahoma to move in time
to reach that country by poon tomorrow,
the union depot was throDged with motley
crowd as every Que assembled in it. The
Santa Fe, in addition to its two regular
trains, sent out special OF
eleven coaches which represented nearly
every line entering the city. The Rock
island also sent out an immense train.
Inuumerable cases of pocket picking have
occurred during the past week, both in the
depot and on the trains. To-day it was
ascertained that three or four sharpers
have been working a very smooth
game They would board the Okla
homa train, gain the confidence Of
carload of boomers" and finally suggest
the organization of colony. The sharpers
would produce their pocketbooks and sug-
gest common fund and actual settlers
would follow suit. The common
fund idea invariably failed of con-
summation, however, but the pickpockets
improved the opportunity by noting the
size of each mans purse and its place of
concealment. The sharpers would ride out
a hundred miles or more, and by that time
would have succeeded in reaping their har-
vest. No arrests have been made yet.
SOLDIERS STILL ON GUARD.
WICHITA, KAN, April 81. A special to
the Daily Edgie from Oklahoma City says:
SOLDIERS still continue to guard the station
and to keep out all would-be settlers. Lieut..
Adair and his troops are doing
efficient work in this respect. Now
and then men alight at Ed
monds, or at other stations where
there are no troops, but they are soon found
by the scouts and compelled to leave the
country. Deputy Varnum stated that he
had special orders from Marshal Needles of
Indian territory, and Marshal Jones OF
Kansas district, to arrest all persons intro
ducing or selling liquor in Oklahoma.
ISSUED AFTER CONSULTATION.
"They met at Guthrie, and coming to the
opinion that this is still an Indian country,
aud that the sale is prohibited there the
same as in any other part of the territory,
issued the order Marshal Jones has estab-
lished deputies at the principal stations to
keep order and enforce the law. The wire
service has proved inefficient at Arkansas
CITY, aud no newspaper dispatches at
all can be sent from the Oklahoma country.
Thousands of words which have been filed
have never been sent. The South Canadian

water appeared to be rapidly subsldlng. If
there are no further rains, the river Will
not seriously interfere with the crossing of
the boomers on the opening day"
