TOLD BY A SURVIVOR.
A New Version OF the Explosion of
the Sultana.

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE awful explo-
sion OH the steamer Sultana, near Mem.
phis, twenty-three years ago, in which
nearly 1900 Union soldiers lost their
lives, has always been a mystery. The
survivors at their reunions have re-
Gently made number of statements re-
garding the affair, but the most sensa-
tional story has been told by resident
of this city, William G. Streeter. His
statement fixes the explosion as the re-
suit of design. He claims that a noted
confederate blOckaded runner and mail
carrier, nOmed Robert Lowden, better
known during the war as Charles Dale,
was the author of the terrible disaster.
Streeter claims that LOwden told INN,
after the close of the war, that while
the Sultana lay at the Memphis wharf,
he smuggled abroad large lump of
coal, in which was concealed torpedo.
This he deposited on the coal pit in
front of the boilers. for the express pnr-
pose of causing the destruction of the
boat. Whether the responsibility for
the awful crime rested solely with Low
den, or whether he was acting under
the directions of others, Streeter is una
BILE to say. Lowden had an adventure
GUS career, being captured several
times, while running blOckades and
once narrowly escaping execution.
What has become of him is not known.

WICHITA, Kan, May IA strange at
mOspherical phenomenon was witnessed
at Maize, west of this city yesterday. A
storm cloud burst and extended over a
space, parallelogram form, about 500
yards wide and one mile in length. For
half an hour the rain came down in tor
rents. The heavens were black and a
darkness almost equal to that of night
covered the entire area. People ran
frightened from their homes, many cry
ing that the end of the world had come.
Maize is situated on the south bank Of
the Arkansas river, and the streets were
turned into rivers, which, fortunately,
found outlets into the Arkansas. An
eye witness describes the rain as COM
ing down in torrents, washing away
number OF houses and moving others
from their foundations. A house in
which family named Rockby lived
was picked up by the floods and carried
into the Arkansas river, where it sank,
drowning Rockby, his wife and two
children. A number of narrow escapes
are reported. The water from the cloud
seemed to come straight down, and
could not have been thicker had it
found its source from lake in the air,
The bodies of the ROckby family have
not yet been recovered. The amount Of
damage will be very large. A great
number of horses and cattle were

THE GENERAL IDEA.
Blaine Will Not Decline if Nomi-
mated

PITrsBURG, Pa, May 7.-Joseph D.
Weeks, financial secretary of the ma
tional Republican committee, and a
leading officer of the new National Pro-
tective league, in an interview to-day,
says:
Il do not think Blaine has changed
his mind since he wrote his famous let
ter to Chairman Jones. But if the
nomination comes to him unanimously
] 10 not see how he can fail to accept
the call of the Republican party with
out being ungrateful for the hOnors
shown him by that party. l know he
will accept the nomination, and | feel
that he is the strongest man we have. |
do not think that Depew is making any
effort to secure the delegates in New
-ork, nor do | think that he has any
desire TO be candidate. He would make
a good president, but he will probably
stay where he is"
"WiIl your league support the Repub-
hcan nOminee?"
I'VE bind ourselves to support no man
but one who is in favor of high protec-
tive tariff. We are neither Democrats
nor Republicans. Our object is to down
a free trader every time we meet him
and to boost a tariff man. In conclus-
ion do not believe Mr.. Blaine will de-
cline the nomination if it is rendered to
him.

WASHINGTON. May THE Winona
& ST. Peter has filed an answer to the
demand OF the general land office to
show cause why suit should not be in
stituted to set aside certification to Ger
tain lands which were covered by home
stead or pre-emption claims at the
date of the definite location of the road
or selection by the company. The an
swer Is signed by Marvin Hughitt and
BrittOn & Gray, attorneys. The an
swer is vOluminous, and covers the legal
points in controversy over many sec
tions and quarter sections of lands in
both the granted and indemnity limits
of the road. After reciting the answer
in full they close by saying: eff. how
ever, you overrule the foregoing con-
tentiOnS, then it is further submitted as
matter of fact, that all claims of
record at date, where the rights
OF this company would other
wise have vested, only establish
prima facie case of exception,
and it is the right of the respondent to
traverse the allegations of facts upon
which such prima facie showing neces-
sarily depends. In that view, this re-
spondent specifically denies that any of
such homestead claims had any legal
foundation whether in fact or in law;
and offers to prove that all of them were
never either legally initiated, or were
in fact abandoned before the definite 10
cation of respondent was filed in the
interior department. To that end, re-
spondent insists that the true facts
should be ascertained by hearings at
the local Office before final action
should be taken against said respond
ent." They also show that this re-
spondent has for valuable consideration
sold and conveyed to innocent bona-fide
purchasers, large portions of said lands

FOR BLAINE.
Pennsylvania viii Be Solid for
Blaine at Chicago.


PHILADELPHIA, May THE vote of
Pennsylvania in the coming Repub-
lican presidential convention is morally
certain to be cast for Blaine. When
Blaine's letter of declination was first
published such party leaders as would
have been glad to get rid of him tried
to create the impression that it was an
earnest decllnatiOn, but they couldn't
succeed in alternating the affections of
the rank and file from the man from
Maine, and one after another of the
county conventions declared for him
outright or qualified their utterances by
pledging support in the event of his
declination being withdrawn. Even
the state convention went into raptures
whenever his name was mentioned and
any attempt to divert the vote of the
delegation in any other direction would
meet with disastrous failure, and
overWhelm those engaged in it
with public indignation. Sen
Sherman on Occount of radical and
vital differences between them on the
question of party policy. Sherman still
believes in the bloody shirt. His policy
is one of hatred to the South, and he is
constantly reviving the bitter MEM
ories of the war. His hobby is tissue
ballots. Ku KiuX Outrages, and sectional
animosities. He reasons, no doubt. that
the solid North could defeat the solid
South at the ballot box as it did on the
battle field, and he evidently hopes
that sooner or later the enmities will
be famed into flame that will accom-
plish that result. On the other hand,
Senator Cameron's ideas are diametri-
cally opposite. He believes that there
is good in the South, and that public
prosperity will be promoted by public
tranquility. He thinks that instead of
holding out to the Southern people the
tirebrand of war, there should be ex-
tended to them the olive branch of
peace. He thinks it would be easier to
break the solidity of the South than to
create a solidity in the North on basis
of hatred, and on these points he talks
right out in meetings.
