Schardt. defaulting cashier of the Mechan-
ics' Savings Bank & Trust Company, died

the property Of the bank was conveyed
and assigned. and the officers express con-
fidence that the assets will pay all the
debts.

surance policies amounting to $4,000 and
certain notes and real estate, and the as
sets, exclusive of those transferred by
Schardt, amount to $16l 900. The largest

Merchants and Labor Loaders.
LONDON. April 1z.-The threatened gen.
eral strike Of dock laborsrs in sympathy
with the Hull strikers did not take place
this morning. The leaders decided that
it would be best not to take definite
action until conference Of watsrside dele
gates from all parts Of the kingdom was
held to thoroughly canvass the situation
and the chances for and against success.

Hull strike was drafted BY A J. Mundella,
president of the Board Of Trade; Charles
Wilson, NJ. p, the presidents Of tho sail
ors and firemens' unions and John Burns,
after prolonged conference today, and

KING ALEXANDER'S ACTION.
Demands Return OF Money Looted Frou
TreasuFy-Forebodin Of Trouble


BELGRADE, April 17-It seems that
young King Alexander is not satisfied to
rest on the laurels of his coup d'etat. but
as result of investigations of thetreasury
has demanded from the ex-regents and
ex-ministers reimbursement to tho GOV.
ernment Of 2.5O0000 francs, misappropri-
ated under the pretext of having been
used in the secret service. The general
acquiescence, if not approval. with which
King Alexander's coup d'stat was hailed.
has already been interrupted.
The Liberals have gathered courage since
Thursday night, and now apparently pro-
pose to excite the people against the gov
ernment The Liberals issued amanifesto.
in which they describe the new ministry
as usurpers Of political power, and a.
having melted the king TO the coup d'stat
in violation Of the constitution and laws
Of Servia. The Liberals state that they
propose to make stand upon the rights
Of the people, which they claim have bssn
outraged and ignored By the alleged usur-
patton.

Zante are helpless. The streets are blocked
with debris of wrecked houses. and 30 far
twenty bodies have been taken from the
ruins. 1t is feared that many more are
stu buried. while hundreds were injured.
Most OF the inhabitants have fled TO the
plains back of the city, where they wander
ABOUT bemoaning the loss of relatives and
property oy recent earthquakes. Tents
were taken from Zante to shelter the
homeless again and were set up as shelter
for the women and children. The city is
scene of utter desolation and it is doubtful
II 1t will ever recover from the series Of
catastrophies which have recently befallcn
IT, There will be great dsstitution and
outside held will urgently be needed.
The church of st. Dionysius and
the government offices were thrown
down. Advices from the interior
show that the whole island is de.
vastated. Many villages were DESTROYED.
though the loss Of life was not very great.
News of the disaster comes in SLOWLY. as
communication with the interior of the is.
land has been greatly interrupted by the
destruction of many telegraph lines. Tho
full extent of the calamity cannot be esti.
mated at present. A warship will be de.
spatched from Piraeus with clothing and
medicines for the sufferers. 1t is pointed
ont here that the disaster was confirms
ton OF the prediction made q few days ago
by Prof. Falb. who predicted the former
earthquake, that disturbances more seri-
oss than the recent ones would occur on
April 16 or IL. His prediction proved
true. for this mornings shock vas the
worst that ever visited Zante, which is
noted for earthquakes.
Since 7:3O O'Clock this morning two more
heavy shocks have shaken the whole is-
land OF Zante, and the people are fleeing
from all the towns to find safety on the
plains and hil!sides. All are terror
stricken and thousands are without shell
ter, while but few have sufficient food.
