Senators Buchanan and Wood first
voted yea" changing to ''nay." The
formers intention was to move for the
reconsideration of the vote. Senator
Holmes did not vote. Senator White
man was absent. Senator Eaton moved
the vote be reconSidered, and, as was
anticipated, it was drowned in food
of votes. This killed the bill so far as
the present session is concerned. The
supporters of the bill were chagined at
the moving Of the previous question.
Senator Durant protested that it was
wrong to make such motion upon the
discussion of bill of so vital import
ance.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 20.-There are
at Fort Reno some 600 regulars, and in
that neghborhood are 1900 or 5000
boomers. Military operations at this
end of the line are conducted by Capt.
Woodson, of the Fifth cavalry. Lieut..
Macomb has command further south,
where there were more boomers, near
Purcell, city of 1000 population. The
settlers have been going into for
hidden lands, and blazing the claims
they intended to pre-empt when the
territory was opened. which private
advices here say will be by thirty-day
proclamation. to be issued Thursday by
the president. Even this invasion is
regarded as unlawful, and the invaders
were instructed to desist. Day by day
they have been going out and marking
the best homesteads along the stream
on the uplands and everywhere. When
attacked by the troops they fled to the
timber, and, as they could outrun the
soldiers, it was simply picnic for the
boomers to dodge back and forth. The
most intense excitement prevails at
Oklahoma City and among the boomers
everywhere along the line. They de-
nounce the clubbing in the iCrutch
country yesterday as an outrage, ana
say they VIII notify the United
States authorities that if they do
not furnish the protection demanded,
the boomers will taee it into their own
hands and wreak summary vengeance
on the soldiers. The former are gen
orally provided with Winchesters and
arms Of the latest approved pattern,
with plenty of ammunition. There are
many reckless and desperate men
among them. The authorities here fear
there will be bloodShed before the row
is over. In view of the unexpected and
threatening turn of affairs reported, it
is matter of discussion among officials
and old residents, what will be done if
the opening of the strip is followed by a
reign of terror, and whether the pro-
clamation once issued, the president or
congress would have the power to with
draw it to stem the tide of settlers and
prevent blOodshed.

When the last Confederate army had sur
rendered and the Federal soldiers were
crowding every northern bound boat and
train, about z, 500 who had been delayed by
sickness or Just released from Confederate
prison camps, crowded the shore at Vicks-
burg, looking with longing eyes towards the
north At length the Sultana came, and
they crowded every foot Of her available
space.
No exact record is attainable, but it is said
that at least z, 500 men were on board. When
pear Memphis her boilers exploded, the
Steamer was total wreck, and at least 200
persons were hurled into eternity. a wall of
woe and horror went over the land. The
nation was hardened to the knowledge of
wholesale slaughter, but this was too much.
That men who had suffered wounds, sickness,
imprisonment, everything short Of death
during four years of war, should be thus sud-
denly cut off when almost in sight of home
this was indeed pitiful. And, to make the
nlStter worse, there was widespread convio-
tioifOf treachery.
The public mind had rested for twenty
three years in the belief that the Sultana
horror was after all the result of an accident
when William c. Streeter, of st. Louis, came
forward with this singular story: Robert
xLowden had confessed to him that he Cow
dem caused the explosion by conceahng a
dynamite torpedo In lump OF coal. The
public received the story with incredulity,

THE SULTANA BEFORE THE EXPLOSION.
lshed far up the Wabash. Then the era Of
calamities began. Boats had been enlarged
and their speed increased much faster than
engineers had gained skill to navigate them.
The first notable explosion to send thrill of
horror through the west was that of the
Helen Macgregor, at Memphis, in the sos,
and the explanation given set the fashion for
inquiries in that line for many years.
That explanation was briefly as follows:
The steamer had tied up close to the bank
when the river was falling rapidly, and soon
careened so far that the boiler on the upper
side was almost empty; when the boat moved
out and the water rushed into the dry boiler
1t was instantly converted into steam, the
csJhsequent explosion was so violent that the
vboiler few out through the end Of the boat
and every person in that vicinity was instant
~ killed. Nothing but the groSSest careless
ness could cause such an accident now. Some
sixty persons were killed or badly injured.
Explosions were frequent till about 1915,
when more rigid inspection was provided
for, and then a long interval of comparative
exemption followed, till the awful catastro-
phe of the Princess Mortified the country.
This vessel was burned at Baton Rouge, in
February, 1859, and 50 bad were the arrange
ments that one hundred lives were lost,
though the boat was near the shore. Soon
after, the st. Nichoit ;, was wrecked by an ex-
plosion near Island Sixty, and a large num-
Der killed. Explosions and fires were both
<urprisingly rare during the war, but its
close was followed by an appalling calamity
one that in horror and destruction goes be-
yond all reported disasters of river travel
This was the explosion and burning of the

DISASTER TO THE J. M. WHITE.
deck or guards, four kegs of powder in the
hold exploded, sending fragments of the YES
sci 100 feet into the air, and all was soon
over. OF the few who fell into the water
alive, only two or three were rescued.
On the oath of December, 1888, the John
H. Hanna was burned a few miles above
Plaquemine, La. Fortunately all the passen-
gers but four had gone ashore, yet the case is
made memorable by the heroism of Jim
Owens, the pilot, who did in fact what John
Hay had POLITICALLY told of the fictitious
"Jim Bludso"-that is, he "held her nozzle
against the bank till the last galoot was
ashore" Not all, however, for many ''roust-
aboutSn lost their lives, and Capt Holmes,
who also remained at his post till there was
no more to do, was caught between the boat
and bank and roasted to death. Pilot Owens
held the wheel till surrounded by fire, then
broke through it and reached the shore, but
his eyes were burned out and his whole body
scorched, and he died the next day.
About the same time the Kate Adams was
burned near Memphis and some thirty lives
lost This was one of the many cases where
a cotton cargo took fire and insured swift de-
struction. All the cabin passengers easily
stepped from the guards to the high shore,
but on the deck near the stern were many
deck passengers, chiefly negroes, who were
cut off by the fire and forced into the river.
Most of those lost were negroes. 1t is eSti-
mated that about forty-fve persons were
killed or drowned by the recent explosion on
the Corona, though the exact number cannot
be ascertained The explosion occurred about
noon of Oct. 5, near Port Hudson, and the
Corona was literally torn to pieces. The hull
sunk at once, and the passengers who sur
vived the explosion were seen struggling III
the water and clinging to fragments of the
wreck. An unusually large proportion of
those floating were rescued.
