King of Denmark, died at I'.UO o'clock in the afternoon. He passed iway quietly, surrounded by the Crown Prince Frederick and the Crown Priui ess Louise. and tbeir children, and the Dowager Empress of Russia. The King's death was sudden. Although for some time he has showed evidences that the weight of his years was beginning to tell upon him, there was no indication of his approaching jnd. He gave long audiences in the morning. lasting three hours. At luncheon afterwards he showed signs af great fatigue, and almost collapsed. At o o'clock he retired to lie down on his bed. Physicians were hastily summoned, but they were unable to rally the aged monarcn s sircngiu, auu he died half an hour later. The news of the King's death spread with great rapidity, aud signs of the ireatest grief were to be seen everywhere. The news of the King's death was conveyed to the Danish Lower House, which immediately .'suspended its sittings. London. England.?The sudden death, af King Christian of Denmark, called the "Father-in-law of Europe," will place the majority of the royal houses of Europe in mourning. The rulers of Russia, Great Britain. Greece, Sweden and Norway are directly related to the dead monarch, either personally or through their consorts. King Christian was the fourth son of Duke William of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluckshurg. and first saw the light on April 8, 1818. Then there seemed little prospect of his asrending the Danish throne. At the age of twenty-four he married Princess Louise, daughter of Landgrave William of Hesse-Cassel. His bride was seven months older than he. having been born on September 7. 1817, and she was to enjoy a long term of such aomestic felicity as is said to be rare miong the wives of men who wear crowns. He was appointed to the succession of the crown of Denmark by the Treaty of London ?f May 8. 1852, and i)y the Danish Law of Succession of Tuly 31, 1833. He succeeded to the throne on the death of King Frederick VII.. November 1T>. 1SG3. Prince Frederick, the eldest son or the late King Charles, who succeeds to the throne, was born June 3. 1843. and svas married on .Tuly 28. 1S<>9, to Princess Louise, daughter of King Charles XV. of Sweden and Norway. As husband and father. King Christian early won the affectionate admirition of his people and of the courts of Europe. Christian began his reign disastrousy, with a costly and ruinous war. and lis people were suspicious and resent'ut. But he won over his people by lis sterling orth and simple manliless of character. He was not an exrravagant king. His lifo and the life )f his family were on the plainest Hues. Louise died September 29, 1S98. BOMB WRECKS A HOUSE.

D. C.?Several important bills designed to increase (be efficiency of I ho army, submitted by Secretary Taft. were introduced by Representative Hull, chairman of the Mouse Committee on Military Affairs. One is designed to provide a partial reserve for coast defense in case of actual or impending war. The bill provides for 50.000 men who have served at least one complete enlistment in the army. They are to be enlisted for five years, and may live where they please in tlie United States, but subject to a call by the President of ien days each year for instruction, and on the outbreak of a foreign war are to be called into active service. Secretary Taft explaius that the bill provides means of enabling the President lo comply with the act of February 2, 1901. lo increase the army to 100./JO men in case of an emergency. The total cost is estimated at about $2,000,000 a year. The Secretary says: 'The necessity for a reserve of trained men was shown at the outbreak of the Spanish War, when it was found to be impossible to obtain men for the regular army who had had previous training, which necessitated regiments going into battle at their peace strength. The purpose is to have available a trained force to immediately bring the regular army to the strength now authorized by law, which would practically double its efficiency, and Ihu annual increased expenditure for that purpose would only be about three per cent, of the present cost cf the permaueut military establishment." Another measure provides for a separation of fleld and coast artillery.' retaining the corps organization for the I rtM.? ??!,! io Killer. j.nr neiu iuiiuci,* 10 by six batteries, with regimental organization. The total increase in both arms provided for is 5000 men. and the estimated cost for the first year is $2,000,000, besides an estimated expense of So,000.000 for barracks, gun sheds, etc.. for five years. The Secretary strongly vrges a bill increasing the pay of non-commissioned officers in accordance with the principles followed iu inuropcan armies. One bill provides for a system of retirement by selection, with a view to pro* mote advancement "by weeding out the least efficient-officers." The othei bills provide for a service corps of 7000 attached to the supply department for work heretofore performed by soldiers, and for the 'eorgani/.atioc of the veterinary cc.ps of th x army.

PRISONERS TALL INTO SlA Seven Training Structures >*re Destroyed ? Damage, 8100,000 ? 01?l Problem of tlie Naval Department Solved by tl?e Catastrophe?Shift I lnc AVI ml e Save Constellation. Newport, R. I.?Seven buildings connected. with the United States Naval Training Station at Coaster's Harbor Island, in this city, were destroyed by fire, the estimated loss being $100,000. The buildings destroyed were tho detention building, machine shop, paint shop, paymaster's storehouse, carpeu ter's shop and two small storehouses. The fire was discovered at about 9.3() o'clock p. in. by a sentry who, in passing the machine shop, adjoining 4he detention building, smelled smoke. Investigation showed that tbe fire was making rapid headway. The alarm was given, and all the apprentice boy8, 1500 in number, with the members of the detachment of ma-! vines and the enlisted men, answered the call to quarters. By the time a bucket brigade had been formed the llames had leaped to the detention building, a brick structure two stories high and about j.20 by fifty feet dimensions. The work of the bucket brigade was of no avail against the fire, as a strong I northwest wind sprang up and threatened to carry the flames to nearly every quarter of the reservation. Aid from the Newport Fire Departtnent was then asked. All tbe smaller storehouses and shops about the deteutiou building were of wooden construction and fell an easy prey to the fire. The apprentices, marines and enlist1 ed men, under tbe command' of Commander Sawyer, the Commandaut of the station, gave (he firemen great assistance. When it was discovered that the bucket brigade could not cope with the flames the men were ordered to devote their energies to saving property. At this time the paymaster'.? office and storehouse were burning fiercely, but tlie men and boys managed to make their way Into the building and to save a portion of the stores. The safe was opened by the paymaster and all the money and official documents were removed and placed under a guard of marines. One of the burned buildings con-, tained ah the small boat9 and cutters * " " ? *4. ofo. | useu lor practice put puses m iuv.- om tion. These boats had been hauled from the water when winter set iu, and had been stored in the building. AH were destroyed. Several apprentices in single irons were confined in tho detention building at the time the tire broke out. Physical Instructor Joseph Jvirby liberated them by a heroic effort. When he reached the detention building he could not see the young prisoners because of smoke, but they answered his call. Supported by a line of men, Kirby made his way to the spot where the boys' were in confinement, and passed tbem back, one by one, to the men behind him, and so out upon the sea wall. In passing over the sea wall two of the manacied boys fell overboard, but were immediately rescued. They were sent to the barracks for the rest of the nigUL For a "time the famous old frigate Constellation, which is used as a practice ship at thi station, .was in danger of destruction, but prompt work on the part of the firemen saved the ship. A shift of the wind a few minutes later removed all danger. The origin of the fire is not known, j At 1J.30 o'clock it was still burning, but under control. A large quantity of naval stores was destroyed. The fire-fighting forces were increased by details from the torpedo station and irom the Naval War College. T'.ie destruction of the detention building has solved a problem at (he station. One naval board condemned the structure, and recommended that it be destroyed. Later another board recommended that it be used as a machine shop. It has been used but little recently. During the recent epidemic of spinal meningitis it served as a hospital.
