ANew soheme 10 oet Land.

ArcmsoS. KAN, February 28.-An agent
of an English company, organized under the
laws of New York, has been in town for the
purpose of obtaining figures on defaulting
Kansas mortgages. 1t Is the purpose of the
company to buy up all such mortgages as
can be obtained at satisfactory discount and
foreclose the same. Having secured the titles
the lands will be offered to actual settlers on
ten or twenty years time, at low rate of in
terest. No cash payments at the time of
purchase Will be required, and the payments
will be made SO easy that a thrifty man may
pay for his farm out of his labor. The agent
has employed law firm in Atchison to assist
the company in making bargains for mort
cages and foreclosing them afterward. The
is another company in New York organized
for the same purpose.

The Souciap.

LoSDos, February 25.-The credit of the
decisive victory over the dervishes at TOlzar
belongs largely to an officer heretofore COM
parahvely unheard of in military affairs,
Colonel Holled Smith. governor general of
the Red sea, literal for the khedive of Egypt.
Colonel Smith has had from the first the
direction of the campaign which IS aimed at
clearing a road to the Soudan for the re-
sumption of trade with that region, may,
perhaps, be extended, should Great Britain
decide to sustain the movement, to the con-
quest of the Soudan. The defeat of Osman
Digma delivers upper Egypt from the
power of the dervishes. and all accounts
from the interior indicate that there is no
concert of movement among the tribes that
formerly united in supporting the mahdi and
his successor. The khedive Is said to be
strongly bent upon extending his empire to
its former limits in equitoriRl Africa, and
the victory at Tokar will greatly encourage
him in the intention, in which he has the
hearty sympathy of his talented queen,
Emineh.

lntense ThIrd Party Man.

CINC1ENATI, o., February 2S.-Hugh Cav
anaugh, of this city. grand worthy foreman
of the knights of Labor, says there is no
truth in the reported resignation of Powderly
as grand master workman.
He saw Mr.. Powderly a few days ago and
he said nothing about such a step. In the
event of the death or resignation of Mr..
Powderly, Cavanaugh would succeed him as
the head of the order in the United States.
1t is known that Powderly is suffering from
an affection of the heart, which prostrates
him about once a week. Should Powderly
die or resign. the elevation of Cavanaugh
might have a radical effect on the policy of
the Knights.
He is an intense third party man. and be-
lieYes in the order joining with the farmers
to organize new political movement outside
of the two great parties.
