WHITE WINGED PEACE.

The Czar's Friendship to Gladstone^ ST. PETERSBURG. May 30.—It is asserted in some quarters here that Russia's acceptance of the English proposals was due to the Czar's friendship for, the British cabinet and his desire to do nothing which would hazard a return of the Tory party in England to power. The concession of Maruchak and Zulfikar to Afghanistan, it

was

represented,

would strengthen Liberals, who are regarded as more friendly to Russia.. [The above dispatch refers to a report printed in the London News of yesterday that Russia has accepted England's proposal for a peaoeful settlement of the Afghan dispute and yielding some of her demands. Commenting on its statement the News said editorially "Mr. Gladstone has crowned his illustrious career by again rendering the country a signal service.

One of the Wildest Railroad Hides on Record.

•FREAKS OF A MANIAC.

Takes Possession of a Wabash Train. Thrilling Experience of Passengers and Train Meri.£ CHICAGO, May 31.—Passenger train No. 6, on the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railroad, arrived here toddy an hour and half late in charge of a madman. Out of the twelve or fifteen men, officers and citizens who finally secured him, one officer is dead, shot through the body, another prtbably fatallywounded, several citizens injured, and. the .lunatic himself lies in the county hospital fnortaUy wounded, with three bullets in him. Shortly bjRfore noon, today the station policemen at the Watwah, St. Loui« and Pacific 'depo^on Pd|k street,

sane man on my tram, who has possession of one car. The poHoe at Kansas City, Jacksonville and Peoria were fill afraid to take him. Please send me ten or twelve policemen out on No. 1 to take him when we arrive in Chicago. They had better come in citizens' clothes. They will have to look sharp or some one willget hurt. (Signed) "PUTNAM, Conductor No. 6.""

No. 6, which left Kansas City lost night, was due h$re at 2:50 p. m. There was a difficulty in'starting ojit No. 1 tnsf directed in the dispatch, and it was decided to meet the train at the depot. Officers Casey, Ryiiu Murphy, Rowan, Walsh, Stremming^olney, Barrett and Keenan, in uniform,%ind Smith, Terry, Amstein, O'Brien find Lauglilin, in citizens' clothes, under the command of Licmtenant iioix^ made up the squad which arrived atr the depot ten minutes before the train was due. The train be ing delayed, as was subsequently learned, by ineffectual efforts to capture the lunatic, the police were forced to wait more than an hour. After considerable anxious speculation as tp the condition of things on bo&*d"No. 6, the offioera were finally anything but reassured by a dispatch from a suburban station that the maniac was well armed and would resist desjperately. A little later No. 6 appeared in sight, and the police, separating so as to form two squads, awaited her arrival an either side of the tracks. As the train approached the whistle soundied a number of warning notes in quick succession. People hanging halCway out the oar windows were seen gesticulating wildly to the crowd. Before the train had come to a stand still a dozen passengers had jumped to the ground and fled, looking back with blanched faces. Officer Barrett was the first to observe the lunatio. Barrett was standing near the rear end of the smoking car. The madman, with leveled revolver glared at him from the front platform of the chair car, the length of one car distant. Barrett turned half round and stopped instantly, but too late a ball from the lunatkrs revolver struck him in the side, and in five minutes he was dead. One look at the maniac was enough to satisfy anyone that while his ammunition lasted he would not be taken alive. Seeing this, the officers, after removing their wounded comrade, began a fusilade through the windows of the smoking car, where the madman had taken refuge. After a minute or two, he plunged out onto the platform, fired a couple of shots into the crowd, leaped from the train and dashed down Fourth avenue. Officer Laughlin started in hot pursuit, and at him the lunatic fired the last shot in his weapon, but- without effect. The maniac stopped then, and awaited Laughlin's coming, withjzleaming eyes and frothing mouth. They clinched, the officer tripped his prisoner, and they both fell, the madman mean while beating Lauglilin unmercifully on the head with his revolver. The officer was in citizen's clothes, and was set upon and terribly pounded by an excited colored man, who mistook the officer for the prisoner. The rest of the squad arrived shortly, the maniac was secured, taken first to a cell and then to the hospital to have his wounds dressed. When he realized that further resistance was useless, the prisoner grew calm and said, quite rationally, that his name was Louis Reaume, that he was thirty-three years old, and was en route to his home in Detroit from Denver. The train men of No. 6 tell thrilling story of the trip from Kansas City. When the man boarded the train at that place he remarked that people were after him to lynch him and that if left alone he would molest no one. At El Paso, HI., he became violent, and with revolver in hand ordered the trainmen to cease making some changes in the make up of the

train.

The passen

gers all left the chair car, which the mad man made his headquarters, and were locked into the others. No one dared approach the lunatic, and, after he had exchanged several shots with the City Marshal, he ordered the train

to proceed, and from there to Chicago his will waithe only law obeyed. Since his wounds have been dressed, Reaume his become somewhat more communicative. He says he is a FrenchCanadian by birth, ana a fresco painter by trade,-and has a wife and throe children in Detroit. He wore a white sombrero,-:and as he ran down Fourth avenue, w$s thought by the residents to be a cow boy on a spree. As the train" on wliioh he arrived was passing slowly through the outskirts of the city, a man by the name of Spruck jumped aboard the platform where the maniac stood. Reaume immediately blazed away with his revolvers the ball just grazing Spruok's neck, taking a button off his coat. When the train reached the depot the mani&$ ilooded as fast as his weapon was emptied, and altogether more than fifteen shots were fired. Spruck ran away.

A Kansai City, despatch says the maniac passenger who created a sensation at the Wabesh Depot, at Chicago, today, attracted some attention here yesterday on account of his evident hallucination. He came over the Union Pacific yesterday from Denver giving his name aa Louis Reaume, and mod he was going to Detroit. He stated to the train men that he had been driven out of Denver on account of some crime of which he was innocent, and that he was being pursued an(L at his request he was permitted to ride in the baggage oar as being, a safer place. He was armed with a revolver, ^md upon his arrival here the police who had been netified by telegraph, at first proposed to arrest him, but as the man gave no evidence of insanity they decided to permit him to continue his journey, which he did last night,

JAN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK,

Frightful'Loss of Life and Property. LONDON, June 2.—Dispatches from Bombay state that news has just reached there of a disastrous earthquake in Cashmere, a country pf India. The seismic shocks began on Sunday and have continued at intervals of ten minutes ever rince. The shocks were very severe at Serinigar, the capital of Cashmere. The barracks' in which several hundred soldiers fwere quartered, was completely destroyed, collapsing so suddenly that nearly half the men were imprisoned in the debris. Fifty areknowa to have been lolled, while fully 100 were more or less injured. A portion of the city has been demolished, while very few of the remaining buildings escaped injury, manv having large rents made in them. The people became panicstricken shortly after the disturbances began and flea from the city, taking refage in boats and in tents in the open fields. The total number of killed and wounded is not yet known, nor the full extent of the damage done owing to the interruption of the working of the telegraph wires. It is feared that the loss of life will be heavy, as the latest information from there calls for help saying that hundreds of animals have bean killed and the distress among the people is very great

The terrified inhabitants are now camped in the fields that surround the town. Serinaguar is the center of the vale of Cashmere and the whole territory experienced the terrible earthquake shock. The damage caused throughout the vale is enormous. The loss in cattle along is very great. The affrighted people seem to be utterly helpless ana succcor is being sent them as rapidly as the Indian authorities can afford relief. Many of the houses, on account of the large rents in the walls, must be razed to the ground. The shocks have not yet ceased, and this fact greatly'retards the work of rescuing the people pinned down in the debns, and it is feared that many of them must perish before they can be reached by the relief parties. v/* •Mi John Kelly Seriously

Owing to the crowded condition of the hotels thousands wftre compelled ta bivouac in the Open air all night. The space around the Are de Triomphe is already filled .with the chief officers of the state, the members of the diplomatic corps, senators and deputies. From all directions crane deputations with draped banners and bearing flowers and gigantic wreaths, and all moving in the direction of the Arc de Triomphe, the Mecca of France today. Never did Paris present such a soene.

The chestnut trees in the Champ Elysee are in full bloom and form a strange contrast to the veiled lights, draped banners and the vast sea of spectators, all in the habliments of mourning that lined ^either side of the immense field and the brilliant uniforms of the soldiers. Large bodies of cavalry occupy the streets leading to the Champ Elysee. Minute guns are being fired from the Hotel des Invalides and from Fort Valerien.' The crowds are very orderly and, at this hour there is not a sign of that trouble so much talked of and ^written about The societies are taking the places assigned to them in the line, of the procession. Trains ladened with, visitors from the provinces and from obroad are constantly arriving. The enormous crowds aire dy here are ever increasing.

NOOK—The funeral procession startid punctually at noon. The threatening clouds of the morning had disappeared by this time and the sun shone forth brilliantly. Many chariots, heaped up with the offerings of the people of ^France, followed the hearse in the procession. Enormous crowds of paople line the streets that form the route of the procession, while other masses of people possess the intersect* ing streets for a great distance on either side. The buildings are black with people, as indeed evefy point from which may be had a view of the unparalleled spectacle. 1.45 p. M.—The head of the procession escorting the body of Victor Hugo to the Pantheon has just now reached that lodgment of the illustrious. dead. The immense cipwd that fills the Boulevard. Michel incudes an enormous number ol people who go to make up the disturbing or noisy element of the city's population. Now that the funeral is practically over, these "roughs" threaten to inaugurate the revolutionary demonstration which has been expected since the death of Victor Hugo. 2 P. M. The funeral oration, Which M. Floquet delivered at the Arc de Triomphe. touched the hearts of his hearers and was greatly applauded. The procession is moving without a hitch in the prescribed program. The

The singing of revolutionary and pa triotic songs by bands of men gathered beyond the reach of the voices of the orators interrupted somewhat the unity of the .eulogies, but beyond this there was nothing to mar the beauty or detract from the impressiveness of the spectacle. The funeral of Victor Hugo up to this hour (3:40 p. M.) has been allowed to be conducted with every mark of respect The enormous masses of people in the streets maintain an iexceptional quiet.

SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.—R. M. Reynolds, late first auditor of the United States Treasury, killed himself this morhing at the Southern hotel. There is an air shaft in the hotel over tlie rotunda, which cuts through the different floors. At five minutes to six Reynolds either jumped or fell over the railing on the third story into the air shaft He struok the marble floor of the rotunda with a report heard all over the hotel, He was picked up quite dead in front of the office clerk. His skull was fractured and one of His legs shattered. A visit made to Reynold's room disclosed the fact that it was full of gas, although the stop cock was turned, hence the theory is held in the hotel that it must be suicide and that after the failure to asphyxiate himself, he took the terrible dive to the floor below. Reynolds had made a careful toilet *.hi« morning. He has been in St Louis since Saturday, stopping with Mr. C. H. Albers, but he left that gentleman's house and put up at the hotel last night He was in excellent spirits when last seen alive, and no motive can be suggested for self killing. He was on his way to Kansas to buy land. He left the United States Treasury only a couple of weeks ago. He was about 60 years of age and a fine-looking, healthy man.
