Fearful Explosion Of
a Steamer.
The Steamer Blown to Atoms
and Eighty Persons Killed.

Cairo, ILL.,, IL. This afternoon at four
o'clock, steamer Oceanus from Red River to
St. Louis, when thirty miles above Cairo, ex-
ploded her boiler, blowing her upper works
almost entirely away, Immediately after
which the wreck took fire and burned to the
waters edge. Thompson, pilot of the
steamer J. Lumsden, which was lying few
miles below, on seeing the light from the
burning wreck manned yawl and proceeded
up the river to ascertain the cause. He
found small party of survivors on Head
Island but passed on to relieve those on the
wreck. Ten or twelve were clinging to the
wheel, but the wheel dropped before he could
reach them and all but tour were lost. He
found deck passenger near the shore badly
scalded and who died before their arrival at
Cairo. Harry Trip the pilot, who was on
the watch, and Captain Reader were buried
in the debris, and were heard calling desper-
ately for help, but the fire had gained such
Roadway that they could not be reached and
were burned. Fisher the carpenter of the ill
fated steamer, who reached here ona the
Shreve, was not hurt. He states that the
second engineer, Alexander Kennedy, was
terribly scalded so that he was helpless and
blind. There were five lady passengers all
of whom are supposed TO be lost. Fisher
thinks that pilot Halves and himself were
the only employees of the boat saved, though
the Belle of st. Louis may have picked up
some. The officers Of the Shreve state that
there were about so cabin and 30 deck pas
sengers, making with the crew one hundred
souls, about so of whom are supposed to have
been lost. Fisher describes the effect of the
explosion as terrific beyond conception, the
whole upper works being lifted bodily and
falling on the boat and into the water, COM
pletely SCATTERING her. He saved himself by
securing plank and floating until rescued
by the yawl from the John Lumsden. He
was in bed at the time and although covered
with debris was only slightly bruised.
The steamer Oceanus ran in Carriers Red
River line. She cost about Il year ago

with regard to his call at the war department
to purchase arms.
Gen. Ingalls, was recalled and testified that
he never had an interview with Mrs. Mason
at the Hoffman House in company with Gen.
Dyer about the sale of arms, nor had he a
conversation with any other woman on the
subject. He repeated his former testimony
that the $1,000 worth of scrip came into his
possession from third party in lS66-from
Gen. Butterfield with whom he had private
transactions and an exchange of private pa
pers. In contradiction of the MARQUIS of
Chambrun, witness said he had no connec.
ton with the Remingtons there was no truth
whatever in the statement of Mrs. Mason
AS for himself he never had a conversation
with Mckensie about the purchase of arms
Ihos. Richardson was recalled and gave
testimony about the papers procured by Rem
ington, eorroborating the statement OF
Squires that the French government had
passed upon Remington's account.
L. Greed briefly testified in relation to the
testimony of Peck and Chambrun. The
chairman said the committee would close the
testimony with that of the secretary of war,
the two clerks of the war department and
representative Starkweather, in whose pres
ence it was said by Chambrun that the letter
of Belknap to Fish had been read, and also
that OF Col. Benet and Mrs. Mason in case
she could be found. -
The committee then adjourned till Monday

The French Arms Investigation.

Washington, IL. Col. Squires was re-
called and testified that Remington was not
in any way interested in getting up the
charges against NJ. Place. Remington was
asked by the French government to make
certain statements about Place. This was
called out by the French government and not
volunteered by Remington. Remington ap-
piled personally to friends including those
with whom he held official relations to fur
nish the required papers, not to establish his
character, but to correct misrepresentation
abroad. These papers were not procured to
help the settlement of Remington's account
with the French government; the accounts
had been settled by the committee on war
contracts. Witness understood the only de-
lay in paying them was waiting to ascertain
what will come of this investigation. Ii
matters remain as they now are the Rem
ingtons would be losers. The Remington 8
if they had chosen could have taken advan-
tage of the French government, as they had
been offered large prices for their arms by
private parties. Witness gave an account of
the $1,000 of Remington certificate or stock
which Gen. Ingalls, had once had in his pos
session. 1t was an issue OF over stock. In
gals said if Squires had named lower sum
for stock he would have taken it, and Squires
said if Ingalls, had asked more he would have
given it. The stock was issued to another
party, (Mr. Butterfeld), for his efforts to
procure an investment of outside capital in
the Remington Company. He thought the
stock was issued in blank. Butterfeld's eff
forts failed or were abandoned. If the ar
rangements had been carried out the certifi-
Gates would have taken the place of other
stock.
To Senator Carpenter: The certificate
was not purchased from ingalls, in considera-
ton for anything. He never believed Ingalls,
did anything in the purchase of arms. The
stock was not purchased with reference to

copy of Washington treaty will be laid before
the House and so much of papers and COM
pleted correspondence as can be made public
without injury to the interests of the Empire
of Canada. A conference was held in Sep
TENDER, which Professionally arranged a
scheme for the encouragement of migration,
for which Parliament will doubtless make
ample provision. The governor alluded
to the contamination of the union of British
Columbia with Canada, and said her repre-
sentatiyes will now take seats to open up and
settle the fertile territories of the northwest
and link British Columbia Herewith. He
recommends provision for the construc.
structon of a railroad to the Pacific. A Wig
orous prosecution of this long contemplated
improvement and an extension of the canal
system is urged for cheapening and faciita-
ting transportation to the Great West. Par
Lament is asked to consider the expectancy
Of providing direct communication betw cen
the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay of
Fundy. The revenue for the past and pres
ent year has been considerably in excess of
the estimate and consequently there is no
reason to apprehend embarrassment from an
immediate commencement of the contem-
plated public improvements.
