PETER LEAVES FOR BELGRADE.
Where He'll Find shaken Ministry and a
Divided People.
(By the Associated Press. }

Geneva, June 22.-King Peter |, OF
Servia, lefte Geneva on his way to Bel
grade today. The Geneva people made
quite a holiday of the Kings departure.
All of the afternoon the Kings house IN
the Rue Belot was surrounded by good
natured crowd which increased IN num-
beers along the route to the railroad sta
ton where several thousand persons were
congregated The station was strongly
guarded by gendarmes and detectives IN
order to prevent any untoward incident.
On the platform was gathered deputation
of Geneva women who presented the
King with magnificent bouquets of flowers
and many other flowers were thrown in
the carriage The Russian consul was
among the last to shake the Kings hand
as the train pulled out OF the station
amid loud cheering, in response to which
King Peter cried give la Suisse
Belgrade, June 22.-The position Of the
ministry is becoming more unenyiable
daily in consequence of the Russian and
Austrian demands for the punishment OF
the assassins of King Alexander and
Queen Draga. The terms of the Russian
note. almost caused a panic among the
Cabinet ministers who are anxiously
awaiting the arrival Of King Peter to
extricate them from the dilemma. Inc
War Minister is the paramount power IN
the ministry as he is backed by the entire
army and he threatens severe resentment
in the case of any hint by a member OF
the Cabinet of the punishment of the
conspirators. The promotions of officers
sent from Geneva are variously explained
as either intended as an open defiance or
as being the resul. of alarm caused by
the attitude of the armv.
A remarkable change is occurring in the
tone of some of the papers. The Nation
alst urges the people not to participate
in the reioicings on the occasion of King
Peters arrival and suggests instead that
the people should mourn the late King,
who fell a victim to political complica-
items Another journal reproaches the
Servians with slandering their dead King,
whom they once pretended to love. Those
expressions are taken to indicate the re-
vival of party intrigues. heretofore sup
pressed by the military terrorism.

Cunard Line Withdraws.
CBy the Associated Press

New York, June 2c.-Yarious reports
having been circulated as to the attitude
of the Cunard Steamship Line toward the
International Mercantile Marine Company
an official statement as to the Cunard
Lines position was obtained today. II
says in part:
February last the Cunard Steamship
Company gave the necessary three
months notice to the North Atlantic Con
ference at Liverpool. as provided in the
agreement of its withdrawal OF its pas
senger service from the continental and
British agreement. Three months having
expired and nothing having been done to
meet the demands of the Cunard Line,
nothing further remains but to make the
withdrawal final.
THE company reefs that there are too
many ships IN the trade. In other words
the supply exceeds the demand and there
can be no relief from the existing stua-
ton without the withdrawal of the extra
tonnage which had been put into the
trade by our competitors and further the
Cunard Company demands re-adjust-
ment to correct the requallties Which
now exist in the classification of some of
its steamers so far as passenger rates are
concerned.
'The object of the Cunard Company
in withdrawing from the agreement is
simply a desire to place itself In posi-
ton where it can protect its share OF the
trade.
I'VE have no desire to e a fight
or inaugurate a cut in rates and all we
want is a reasonable share IN the pusl-
ness without being unreasona"Ay nandl-
capped and we take are ehutled TO
