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 determine ton. 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 and
ministers attended the banquet and
while they were enjoying themselves
at the place attachments of soldiers
and bodies of police took possession of
their houses and occupied the govern
ment buildings.
At midnight. Vile the festivities
were in progress, King Alexander pro
claimed that he had attained his ma jor
ity and that he assumed with the skupts-
china the government of the country.
AS matter of fact he had not attained
his majority. According to Servian
law he does not become of age until he
is IS years old. and he will not be Is for
over year
The regents have been deposed. the
cabinet dismissed and a new ministry
appointed. NJ. Dokitch is the new

Earthquake.


ATHENS, April 1s.-The island OF
Zante. one of the principal Ionian isl
ands, known to commerce of the whole
world as the home of the finest cur.
rants. was visited by destructive
earthquake. resulting in great loss Of
life and property. The shock appears
to have been most violent in the city OF
Zante. the greater part of which was
destroyed.
The people are panic stricken and the
authorities helpless. The streets are
impassa BILE. being filed with masses of
stone and timber, the wreckage of
houses thrown down by the earthquake.
Up to 10 o'clock the bodies of twenty
persons killed by falling walls had been
removed from the debris and it is said
that scores more dead are still in the
ruins. The number of persons injured
runs up into the hundreds.
Advices from the interior show that
the whole island has been devastated.
Many villages have been destroyed and
it is certain that the loss of life hat
been very great.

TAKEN DOWN.
Commissioner BlOunt Takes the American
Flag Down at Honolulu.

Commissioner BlOunt Takes the American
Flag Down at Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The news
from Honolulu of the hauling down of
the United States flag, it is said, was
the subject of animated discussion at
the cabinet meeting. Before going into
the cabinet room, Secretary Gresham
said to reporter that he had received
no information whatever aside from the
newspapers.
There is diplomatic reticence around
the White house concerning the nature
of the instructions given Blount in his
mission to Hawaii, but it is stated with
some positiveness that he was given
authority for hauling down the
stars and stripes at Honolulu
prior to his departure from Washing
ton. 1t is understood that Mr.. Blount
was given definite instructions
to withdraw the protectorate of the
United States over Hawaii in order that
this government might find itself freer
in dealing with the main question of
annexation. but on the day of his de-
parture for San Francisco, he was eau
toned to contide this information to no
person whatever. in order that the mo-
tives and the intentions of the admin
istration might not be construed so as
to cause trouble among the Hawaiians.
Mr. Blount followed his instructions
to the letter. He waited until the ex-
element incident to his arrival had
completely died out and affairs were in
a tranquil state before making known
that the protectorate was at an end.
He also made it known at the same
time that the United States would still
consider Hawaii and the HawHiians I'M
der its guardianship. SO far as outside
interference was concerned. and in this
also showed the caution which Mr..
Cleveland and Secretary Gresham had
impressed on him to deprive the an
nouneement of any tinge of sensation
alism. These are said to be the facts
in the matter with reference to the in
structions of Mr.. Blount.

ANOTHER STRIKE.

three Thousand Machinists on the UnioE
Pacific Road Walk Out-The Cause Some
what Mystified.
OMAHA, Neb.. April 1S.-When the
noon whistle blew yesterday 500 EN-
ployes of the Union Pacific shops in this
city quietly gathered their tools. blous
es, overalls and dinner buckets togeth
er and left the employ of the Union
Pacific in vindication of what they
believe to be an inherent principle of
right, the right to voice as to who
should be employed in the depart
ments of the shops and the time when
such employment should take place.
As the several departments. including
the machinists. boiler-makers, black
smiths. molders and pattern-makers.
mingled in the swarm of workers going
to their dinners, there was little or no
demonstration except that now and
then some over-zealous striker would
let out a yell which might have been
taken for a pRan of victory or exulta-
ton that a day off had been ordered by
those who were high in authority
among them.
At l o'clock work about the yards
was resumed in the other departments
as if nothing had occurred, but the iron
departments were deserted.
The strike affects about 5000 men on
the system and only interests the work
ers of iron, or those men who are work
ing eight hours instead of nine. as they
alleged they were promised on January
Is. The towns to be the most affected
by the strike in addition to Omaha are
Denver, Cheyenne, Salt Lake, Rawlins,
Kansas City, Procatello, Evanston. Lar
annie, Lagrande and Shoshone. From
conversations with officials the concen-
sus of opinion was that the road has
never oeen in better condition to under
go IA strike than at this time.
Mr.. Mcconnell. superintendent Of
motive power. said that the difficulty
was not a matter of wages or of hours,
but sim ply the refusal of the company
to sign new contracts submitted by the
the men regulating the conditions
under which they should work. The
first proposition made was submitted to
him, whibh he refused to sign. 1t was
then taken to Mr.. Clark. who also de-
clined. One of the primary objec-
tions to the proposed contract was
that, when it was necessary to reduce
expenses and the men were obliged to
work eight hours, the company should
not employ any new bOiler-makers,
machinists, blacksmiths or molders.
The men finally withdrew this PROPOSE
ton and presented another which pro-
vided that when working eight hours
day the company should not employ
any of the above named craftsmen
until after 10 per cent of the force had
been discharged.

THE DOODLE INVESTIGATION.
The Senate Investigation Committee Held
Session at Kansas City. Kan.


Session at kansas City. Kan.
KANSAS CITY. Kan, April 12.-The
senate investigation committee resumed
its work in this city yesterday. All the
witnesses were present except Repre-
sentative Burgard. p. W. Kline and
Nelson f. Acres. Probate Judge Mona
han was examined and stated that he
knew of no money being used to defeat
the Wyandotte county fee bill.
AL Baker. proprietor of one of the pol.
icy shops near the state line in Kansas
City. Kan. was the next witness. His
statement produced a sensation. In re-
ply to the question as to what
knowledge he had of money being used
by the gamblers. lottery and policy
men to defeat Senator Taylor's bills
Baker proceeded to tell of the meet
ing of policy men held at P. w. kline's
office in the Heist building in Kansas
City. Mo-, to devise plans and to raise
funds to defeat the bills. He was not
present at the meeting. but his partner.
Carey. was there and by Carey the wit
ness had been told that Kline had asked
the firm to put up 800. Baker said
that so far as he knew all the gambling
house prOprietors, the owners of policy
shops and lottery offices were in the
scheme. probably thirty or thirty-five
in all.
Baker further testified that Kline
told him that something would have to
be done and that they would all have
to put up" He met mysterious
stranger at Kline's policy shop who
stated that he had had much experience
in such matters and that it would take
more than $4,000 to grease the ma
chinery."
On crOss-examination by j. A. Hale,
Baker stated that Kline used an express
sion to the effect that he had paid for
the police commissioners and that he
wanted to use them, and that no other
policy man could run in Kansas City,
Kan. He could not afford to put up
$3.50 month. but Kline. with an in
come of $4,000 day from the sales of
policy tickets. could well afford it.
George Gruble testified that he was
an inn-keeper 1t was expected to
prove by the witness that he was a
jointist, who had paid $50 to fund to
be used in the Kansas legislature. He
said he did not know of any money
having been raised for any purpose
whatever.
A. L. Burger, auditor of Wyandotte
county, denied that he had been solic-
tied to contribute money to defeat the
fees and salaries bill. He did not
know of money being contributed, but
heard some of the officers say that they
would be willing to contribute money
to defeat it. The probate judge, district
clerk, sheriff and county clerk went to
Topeka to lobby against the bill. One
afternoon the witness was in the coun-
ty clerks Office and there was con-
sultation of the county officers. II was
agreed that they should not pay any
money to defeat the bill. 1t was COM
mon talk among them that the bill
had been introduced to make the
officers come down and they were very
mad"

Spectator 2lst Octbr.}

The New York correspondent Of the Daily
News, who is usually light, announcer (Octo-
Der 19th) that President Cleveland has come
to a most important resolution. He Lac re-
solved to set the Senate, and possibly the
law, aside altogether. That is to say, he will
send a message 10 Congress announcing that
his Government has suspended the act
requiring the purchase of silver. The reason
for this higE-handed proceeding is. that the
Treasury receipts for the quarter are
"a 200 600 below the estimate; aud that, il
the purchases continue, the deficit by the end
Of the year will be &1O. 600, OG0. It is said
that the people will approve this action, and
there may be a clause in the Sherman Act
sufficiently doubtful tn allow of protractrd
argument; but the blow to the influence Of
the Senate will be a tremendous ole. If the
President can oxeicise a dispensing power
whenever the public safety requires it, the
ultimate authority in the nation vests in him.
The conflict, If it arlsts, will bs watched with
intense interest, oil the more, perhaps. be-
cause it has arisen Oh a 6nancial question
