TAKEN BY FORCE.
Queen Natalie's Defenders Suc-
cumb to the Military.
TROOPS IN HER BED CHAMBER.


They Compel the Exiled Monarch to
Arise and Prepare for Her Expul.
sion from Servian Territory-The
Queen Herself Urges Her Defend.
ers to Avoid Bloodshed.
BELGRADE, May 20.-After consul
tation Of the ministers and regents it
was decided, coute qui coute, to expel
Natalie from Servia, and instructions to
that effect were given to the police.
Consequently strong force Of gend-
armes made a fresh attack upon the
queens palace and succeeded in break
ing through the Gordon of citizens who
were guarding Natalie.
After a sharp fight with the queens
defenders the gendarmes succeeded in
forcing their way through the Gordon
and in entering the palace. The gen.
darmes then forced their way into
Natalie's bedroom and summoned her to
arise, as she must instantly leave Ser
Wan territory.
The Queen Soothes Her Defenders.
The queen calmly replied that she
would yield to force, and requested the
students who had SO gallantly defended
her, and who were even then prepared
to lay down their lives for her, to make
no further resistance, SO as to prevent
any more bloodshed.
The queen was then allowed to dress
herself and, after bidding farewell to
the leaders of her defenders, during
which most touching scene was wit
messed, the exiled queen was escorted to
private carriage which was in waiting
NJ l,a MI hautiltr
driven to the railroad station, followed
by the cheers of the students and cit
izens of Belgrade, whose enthusiasm
had to be kept within bounds by the
display of an overwhelming force of
troops, who lined the entire route to the
railroad station.
Farewell to Scrvia.
At this station special train was in
waiting, and the queen was Immediately
conveyed on board. No sooner was the
queen and her personal baggage on
board than the train left the station for
the Hungarian frontier, and Natalie, of
Servia, calm, pale, but evidently suffer-
ing from intense emotion, left Belgrade,
the scene of SO many of her troubles and
triumphs.
There is no denying that the popular
ity of the exiled queen has be9n greatly
increased by the recent action of the au-
thorities, and, on the other hand, there
is no doubt that the popularity of the
ministry has decreased in proportion to
the increase of the queens popularity.
The populace is especially enraged
against The minister of war, Col. Mile
tics, who is understood to have been the
most active of the ministers in insisting
that Natalie should be expelled.
In fact the popular feeling against the
probable that he will be compelled to
tender his resignation.

YOUNG RAUM ExpLAlNs
His Reply to a Charge of Crooked
Financiering.


WASHINGTON, May 90 = Green B.
Raum, Jr., who recently resigned his
position as assistant chief clerk of the
pension Office, was charged among
other things with appropriating to his
own use $72 of government funds which
had been left in his charge. The COM
missioner Of pensions has obtained from
his son and made public the following
written statement explanatory of his
connection with the money:
About the latter part of March last one of
the clerks Of the law division came to the
room occupied by me In tho pension Office
and stated that the law clerk wished to leave
with me sum of money for cafe keeping. He
handed me SI2 In three bills. II happened that
my assistant was away on a leave and didn't
have the combination of the safe which was
kept in my room. therefore put the money
In my pocket, where kept II for several days
waiting for tho law clerk TO decide what he
would do with 1t. Finally placed the money
In a drawer of desk at my house.
On Saturday afternoon, May 0, when was
about leaving the pension Office to catch a
train for Philadelphia, clerk from the law
division came 10 my room and stated that tho
chief of the Inv division sent for the sf2 Which
he had left with me. / replied that would
see him at once. / Immediately called upon
the CnlcI OF INC INV ulNlSlOn, anu stated tnat
would not have time to go home and return
with the money without missing the train. l
offered to give him acheck for the amount II
he wished to deposit IL that day. lie stated
that the following Monday would be time
enough, and that he preferred the money.
returned from Philadelphia on Monday, but
the train was delayed by an accident to the
engine. When / reached Washington was
unwell, and went direct to my home and gave
no attention to the money mattSr.
On Tuesday evening was informed that the
law clerk had inquired for the money. The
next morning took the S72 from the drawer
of the desk, where it was kept with safety
and the same was delivered to the chief of the
law division by my assistant, who took u re-
ceipt therefor
1t Is proper to state that 1t was not In any
wise my duty to handle money refunded to
the pension bureau. In this instance | became
the custodian of the S12 for the accommoda-
tion Of the clerk. 1t was safely kept, and was
ready to be delivered to him at any time.
When the law clerk requested the return of
tho S72 II was In q drawer of my desk at home,
locked up separate and apart from any other
funds, and was there for the express purpose
of being delivered to him. 1t Is false and
cruel statement TO charge that have been
guilty of any misconduct in connection with
this matter.
The above, Commissioner Raum says,
covers everything his son has to say in
relation to this matter. He believes it
is true, but thought it best that his son
should resign from the position.

Jewelry Store Of william DeNormandie
Gutted by Fire This Morning

Jewelry Store OF William DeNormandie
Gutted b. Fire This Morning
Fire broke out in the jewelry store cf
William DeNormandie, No. S05 Shipley
street. shortly before noon to-day, and
did $3.50 damage. Mr.. DeNormandie left
the store at 1120 o'clock, and left a card
ON the door announcing that he would re.
turn st noon. At II As o'clock Sergeant
Blackburn and Special Officer Whann
discovered smoke issuing from the store,
and they at once effected an entrance by
forcing the door The whole interior
was found to be in flames. An alarm of
fire was at once struck from box No. T.,
at the Masonic Temple, and the entire
Fire Department responded.
The officers worked with the flames
until they had them under control and
before the engines reached the scene the
FIRE was out. The building was but
slightly damaged, the principal loss
being TO the stock, The FIRE occurred in
the midst Of the tools and watches
and these were nearly all ruined
Two large show cases and their contents,
consisting of spectacles. ornaments and
silverware. were badly damaged. All
the clocks in the store were damaged by
smoke and the eye glasses, which were
in the show case, wers trampled to
pieces while the Ere was being con-
quered.
The origin of the Ere is complets
mystery 1t was at first thought
to have been caused by the ex-
plosion of an oil lamp, but Mr.
DeNormandie left no lamps burning and,
on his return, all of the lamps were In
sound condition. The general belief is
that it was the work of an incendiary,
who entered the store through side
window, poured the contents of an
oil can, which was found to be empty,
over the floor. and then fred IT, The
loss is partially covered by insurance.
