Maniac shot ~ People On.a Steamboat
and Escaped.

The Swedish steamer Prince Charles
put in at Stockholm, Sweden, yesterday,
bearing indications of an extraordinary
tragedy. The decks and cabins resembled
a slaughter pen, and blood was smeared
and spattered everywhere. 1t seems that
early Wednesday evening, an unknown
madman, armed with revolver, ran
amuck on the steamer, and shot dead five
of the passengers. The captain sprang
upon the man but the latter was too quick
for him and killed him with bullet. The
lunatic then reloaded his revolver, and
going on deck shot and wounded six of the
crew. The others of the ships company
by this time were completely cowed and
no further attempt was made to capture
the maniac, who lowered a life boat and
escaped.

FOR THE NAvY's GREAT GUNS
SmoLeIeSs Powder to BE Made at tn
dim Head SOON.

The new smokeless powder factory for
the navy building at the Indian Head
proving station on the Potomac will be
completed and ready for operation this
spring. and is to begin Immediately the
manufacture of powder for the large guns
of the service.
This factory Is built under an appropria-
tiou by Congress of two years ago and Is
intended 20 supplement the factory at
Newport where small quantities Of powder
have been made and where the present
brand was developed. The new factory
viii have a capacity of about 1000 pounds
a day. and until the navy has fun sup
plv on hand viii probably be worked TO its
fun limit.
This factory even with that at Newport
is totally Inadequate to meet the powder
demand Of the navy, and il is not intended
that the service should by any means rely
on them for its output. It's purpose is to
afford the Government additional sources
of supply and enable l. TO make some of
its powder without being wholly depend
ent on private concerns as il has been
in the past
The factory is located remote from the
naval proving station, so that any eNplO-
sion that might occur wodld do no harm
to the guns and quarters. Every precauS
tion has been observed in its construction
10 prevent accident. and separa.e buildings
are provided for the preparation of the
component parts OF the powder in its
course of manufacture.

The ruler Of a small German state
has discovered one way OF warding on
the dire calamity which must result
from having thirteen sit at table. A
Kerlin exchange Is the authority for
this statement.
His serene highness is in the habit
OF giving little dinners and parties, to
which only the social select are called.
At one Of these exclusive affairs held
lately the prince ordered a cover to be
la i'd for Herr L.. one Of his cabinet coun-
Gil.
Herr l.. was a little late. and the rest
OF the guests had arrived when he pre-
sented himself at the door.
A superstitious baroness exclaimed.
as he entered. Good gracious. There
are thirteen Of us"
Calm yourself. my dear baroness. -

bodily health and his peace of mind 40
few public men were ever shielded.
Her care for his physical welfare anu
his happiness was so constant. 50 I'M
firing. ami 50 intelligent that she was
sometimes spoken of rs Il sort Of spe-
cial providence watching over his COM
ings and goings. his food and exercise,
his clothing and his sleep. 1t was once
said OF her that she kept her famous
husband Ill cotton. for he founu the
hard angles and corners of life woh-
dcrfully smoothed and padded by MS
wife's shrewd and vigilant protection
from whatever might do him harm or
cause him needless strain or worry. 1t
Is hard to estimate too highly the value
to u public man of such assistance. NO
one can weigh accurately the share OF
GladstOne's life work which wouio
never have been accomplished II he had
been unfortunately married, or not
married at all. What Is certain is that
his chances for the great success which
he won were immensely increased ny
the extreme good fortune which came
to him early in the form OF domestic
happiness and remained with him to
the end of his life. Young men VINO
are ambitious, sensible. and strong

object lesson on the necessity OF care

Washington, July 23.-As was an
ticipated, the Japanese government has
given its cheerful assent to the applica-
ton OF the United States government
ior permission to land troops and mill
tary supplies at Nagasaki in transit t'
Taku, China. This privilege was de-
sired in order that the Pacific trans
ports plying between San Francisco and
Manila should, not deviate from the
regular route. but that the troops and
stock carried by them and intended for
service in China might he transferred
at NagMsaki to other vessels OF tho
transport service and taken direct t"
Taku. The Japanese authorities not
only have agreed to the proposed use OF
Nagasaki, but they also have assured
the United states government that they
will facilitate the movement of Ameri-
can troops and supplies as much as pos
sibe. The quartermaster's department.
OF the army has provided three large
transports OF the Philippine service for
use on the line between Nagasaki and
Taku, and it is expected in this way :"
expedite the movement of TROOPS to
China.
The state department has issued the
following bulletin:
'rhe secretary OF state received this
morning dispatch from Consul Fowler
at Che Foo, dated midnight, July 10.
saying a Shanghai PAPER OF the 18th

Fowler wired the governor demanding
