MAY INVOLVE EUROPE.

VIENNA, April 15.-The situation in
Servia affords ground for the greatest
anxiety. \ revolution there would
make breach for Russia. who, as
everyone knows, has always wished to
re-establish her influence in Servia.
Austria, on the other hand, could
not look on such change un-
moved. She holds Milan in reserve
as a last card. IL the Russophiles
were to overthrow the reigning child
king, and Russia hurled her troops into
Servia on pretense of restoring order,
Austria would be forced to make a
counter stroke, war would be declared
and from Servia it would spread all
over Europe. France. too, would be
dragged into the quarrel, for it would
be impossible to prevent her from help
ing Russia.

KING ALEXANDER. mark. the regents,
and all the ministers of state were pres
ent as were also large number of the
friends and supporters of the regents.
For many months past the situation
in Servia has been critical owing to the
abuse of power by the regents and state
officials. Affairs had become so bad
that the king determined to take the
reins in his own hands. In accordance
with this determination, plans were Sc
cretly laid by means of which the
regents and the ministry would be
ousted without opportunity for oppos-
ing. Unsuspectingly the regents aud
ministers attended the banquet and
while they were enjoying themselves
at the place detachments of soldiers
and bodies of police took possession of
their houses and occupied the govern
ment buildings.
At midnight, while the festivities
were in progress, King Alexander pro-
claimed that he had attained his ma ior
ity and that he assumed with the skupts-
china the government of the country.
As a matter of fact he had not attained
his majority. According to Servian
law he does not become of age until he
is 1S years old, and he will not be Is for
over a year.
When the deposed regents and minis
ters heard the proclamatiO they were
dumbfounded. The king and his ad-
visers acted with great promptitude,
and soldiers, who were in waiting. at
once placed the ministers and regents
under arrest and they We're sent to
rooms which had been prepared for
them in the palace, where they are un-
der guard.
The Servian army is loyal to the
king. Had it not been the coup d'etat
would not have been possible. After
the issuance of the proclamation and
before daybreak the king proceeded to
the barracks where the troops were
under arms and was received with
many expressions of loyalty.
The proclamation which was issued
everywhere in the country to-day bears
the kings signature. In it Alexander
declares that the constitution has been
in sore jeopardy, the rights of citizens
imperiled and the constitutional posi-
ton of parliament SO abused that the
king must end the unhappy condition
of affairs. He therefore declares that
he has come of age and has assumed
kingly power. Henceforth the Servian
constitution acquires its full signif-
canoe.
The regents have been deposed. the
cabinet dismissed and new ministry
appointed. NJ. Dokitch is the new
prime minister.

Woman Suffrage.

Those who are battling for woman
suffrage have recently gained one
point en- this side of the Atlantic and
lost one on the other side. At the
election in Colorado, on November Z,
an amendment to the constition Of
the State was voted on, giving wo-
men precisely the same rights Of suf-
frage as men. The amendment was
adopted by a majority which, it is
said, viii reach at least 5000. In
the House of Commans, on Noyem-
Der 10, while the Parish Councils, or
Local Government Bill, was under
consideration an amendment was
offered by Mr.. McLaren, enfran-
chising women who would be en-
titled, if they were men, to vote in
local government and parliamentary
elections. The amendment, on the
motion Of Mr. Fowler, was defeated
by a vote OF 147 to 1876. During the
week, has been held the twenty-ffth
annual convention Of the New Yew
State Woman Suffragists.
