passed over Clay county Monday, one
about IL o'clock aud the other about l
o'clock, over the central and southern part.
Both we're terrific in the extreme, levelling
houses and fences and trees to the ground,
and spreading death and destruction in
| their paths. Near Hohenlinden three per-
sons are reported killed, and near Pine
Bluff one is reported killed.
The town is quiet and a sabbath day
calm prevails in the ruined district; Out
on Peach Orchard street some families this
morning are searching for bedding and
clothing, but as day advanced they left the
scene and it was almost deserted from noon
till night. r.

Mrs. Wikerson and son. VIM. Blackburn's
child, Sam Benion, and N. Lalin's child
and four nephews, J f. Gibson, Mrs. Dun

found in the county, that had been blown
fifty miles. The afflicted and distressed
are being provided for by the more FORUM

amount of property destroyed.
MIR. Dana on the outlook!
SAN FRANC1soo, CAL, April 22-1n an in
teryiew with Chronicle representative to-
day Mr.. Dana said the leading issues of the
next presidential campaign would turn out
the republicans. Continuing he said: II
think the democrats can come squarely be-
fore the country and advocate tariff reve-
nue. tax only, internal revenue tax,
iusti6able liquor tax, which will yield
enough to pay pensions passed by recent
laws of these only last four or five years.
After the tax is no longer necded-even
now, as recommended by Mr.. Arthur-all
internal taxation can be done away
with. 81 can't say whether the action OF
| the republicans of the last congress ha.
alien ated the workingmen of the republican
PARTY. nor that the pending Ohio election
was Influenced thereby. l judge that the
southern states only manufacturing wooden
and cotton goods, sugar and iron Will likeiy
be affected by the free trade Issue: Louis
lana will certainly fail under the free trade
policy, for without protection, Louisiana
! sugar planters are powerless to compete
win Cuba Brazil and the Sandwich Islands.
The iron interests OF Alabama are sale.
The effect of the free trade plank IN the
democratic platform in the presidential
election in New York at the present state
OF pubic opinion would be ruinous,
would also lose New Jersey, Connecticut,
and probably Indiana. The democratic par

| all parts of the country. Mcdonald, OF In
| diana is spoken of; Hendricks has friends
Bayard has warm friends, probable more
personal admirers than any other man In the
| party; Palmer, of Illinois, is strong; Ihur-
man is one of the ablest men in the country.
| If Ohio wants to support the democratic
convention, his nomination is assured. Til
denis friends are not discussing his noml-
nation. | am his friend and not aware OF
such discussion If Tilden was fifteen years
Younger and of corresponding physical
strength, there would be no doubt OF his
nomination. | don't think the western
states will insist on nominating candidate.
| The desire for success predominates over
every other feeling. Butler, in my opinion
has no chance of nomination, it would be
tDo hard for the southern states. see no
prospects of reconciliation betw en- the stall
warts and half-breeds. They hate each och
er worse than they hate the democrats.
Blaine's chances are poorer than in 1876 or
| 1890 Arthur doesn't desire denomination.
He is a gentleman, good fellow, and mas
made a better president than any other
man would have done similarly situated
Grant hasn't the ghost of chance. zen;
dleton has no originality, no enterprise
Mr.. Dana further said he didn't believe the
civil service commission could accomplish
ANYTHING. That the Irish revolutions, IN
his opinion would not influence the cleo
ton; secret midnight conspirators had nc
peace in the republic. Concluding, he SAID
that American journalism was progressive
and that California would undoubtedly be
one OF the greatest states IN the Union.
