The Liberals Recovering From tho Young
Kings Coup ID 'Etat, and Have Issued
Manifesto to the People.

BELGRADE, April 17.-Trouble has al
ready begun for ex-Regents Ristich and
Belimarkovitch and their late ministry.
The new government, as a result or the
investigations already made concerning the
finances OF the country since King Alex

mand that the ex-regents and ex-min-
listers shall reimburse the government for
the sum OF two million four hundred
thousand dinars, or francs. misappro-
priatcd during the regency under the pre-
text of having been used in the secret
srvfce OF the State.
The general acquiescence, II not ap-
proval, with which King Alexander's coup
d'etat was hailed, has been already in
terrupted. The Liberals have gathered
courage since Thursday night, and now
apparently propose TO excite the people
against the government. The Liberals

describe the new ministry. composed OF
NJ. Dokitch and his colleagues, appointed
by King Alexander since he seized the
royal authority, as usurpers Of political
power, and as having melted the King

constitution and laws of Servia The
Liberals state that they make their stand
upon the rights of the people. which they
claim have been outraged and ignored by
the alleged usurpation.

Move 10 Leave the Province Under I'm
perial Rule-WIlI Gladstone Assent2

LONDON, April 1L-An important
statement is made to-day in regard to
the Irish Home Rule bill. It is to the
effect that when the bill reaches the COM
mittee stage large section Of Radicals
will support "A proposal to leave the
counties OF Londonderry, Antrim, Down
and Armagh. in the province Of Ulster
under imperial rule.
These being the counties in which the
Unionist element is strongest. and an
tagonism TO the Irish Home Rule bill
therefore pronounced. 1t is considered
doubtful that Mr.. Gladstone would assent
10 such a scheme, even If the Irish Ma
tionalist members are willing 10 do so.
The proposition means a division OF Ire
land, and the Irish Legislature created
under it would represent only a portion
Of the country.
