DUEL ON A
STEAMERS DECK.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 9.
The steamer Newport, from
Acapulco. today brought word
of a duel fought on the French
steamer Madeline, resulting in
the death of the second officer.
The Madeline is due here from
Callao, Peru, for repairs. She
has been plying along the Mex
lean coast. Shortly after she
left Callao for this port her
boilers exploded, killing, sew
eral men. The accident COM
PEELED her to put into Acapul-
co, where, after receiving ne
cessary repairs. she resumed
her northward voyage. About
seven hours later she returned
to port, flying a police flag.
The brief news sent ashore
was to the effect that the chief
engineer and second officer
had been on unfriendly terms
for some time. On leaving
Acapulco one challenged the
other and they fought a duel
on the steamers deck. The
second officer was killed. The
owner of the steamer, who was
aboard the Newport, commu
nicated the facts to the French
minister in Mexico, who order
ed the Mandeline held at AGA
pulco pending an official in
vestigation. The Mexican off
Gals claim jurisdiction in the
matter and regard the offense
as a common murder.

but there was no one to furnish

IMPLEMENT OF WAR.

The latest implement Of war
is an equipment consisting Of
two rapid firing guns mounted
on an autocar. 1t has a rough,
resem blance to a smooth turtle
back, with wheels instead of
legs, and a pair of iron screens
rising up from the top of the
metal she'll, from behind which
the guns are worked. The
autocar is driven by a sixteen
horse power engine, the wheels
having 4 inch solid rubber tires.
The guns ale on a swivel, and
are arranged to discharge at
various angles. They are be-
ing fired, if desired. The am
munition is fired at the rate of
from fifty to 700 rounds a min
ute, aud the firing can go on
either when the auiocar is NOV
ing or standing still. Each
gun is supplied with 500 rounds
of ammunition and if the cper
at2rs be shot down the entire
charge Of ammunition is shot
off. The shields around the
car are on an angle. so that no
ordinary bullet from a rifle can
penetrate them, and when the
machines are in motion 1t will
be difficult for a large field
piece to hit them. A rapid
firing gun has always been
looked upon as an excellent
weapon, provided you could
come up with your enemy.
With a gun mounted on a fast
running machine, which can
travel forty five miles an hour,
the question of getting on
terms with your foe does not
take long. The effect Of fifty
or a hundred OF these machines
of war charging into a large
body of troops, or run through
a city at a high rate of speed,
firing their deadly missiles on
the inhabitants as they rushed
through, can readily be imagin
ed. Several governments are
now negotiating with the in
vsntor for this formidable ma
chines.-Express.
