INVOLVES ALL EUROPE,

BERLIN, June 11.-Oficial infor-
nation has been received that i'm
mediately after the assassination an
interchange Of views took place be-
tween the principal European govern
ments. From this it is evident that
serious steps involving the whole Of
Europe are contemplated. Germany
herself has no direct interest in Ser
via. but the tragedy has raised an
international problem of universal
Importance
The. question is can the powers
look on passively while a reigning
sovereign recognized by them and rep
resented in their courts is murdered.
Also, can the great monarchs tolerate
proceedings utterly subversive to
monarchism.
The public is wondering what ac-
ton the kaiser will take; If he will
allow a monarch to do thus without
raising a finger to chastise the i'm
pious regecides.
IL the murder is overlooked 1t sets
a ban on a precedent for the Balkan
capitals. 1t is possible that Austrian
troops will occupy Servia in the NOM
inal interest of public, order. If so,
Russia might retaliate by occupancy
of or war on the Balkans.

BELGRADE, June liking Alex

mated during a military revolution
which broke out at 2 o'clock this
morning in the. streets Of Belgrade.
"A proclamation was posted in the
streets shortly afterward stating that
their majesties had been shot.
This morning trouble was precipi-
tated by King Alexander's high hand
edness under the influence OF the
queen. Public opinion, especially in
the army circles, has been seething
for months past. and the kings act
in sitting the popular voice at the
recent election by forced minis
terial success was the last straw.
The first intimation of serious
trouble, however, was not manifest
until last night. when murmurings
began to be heard. until with roar

Prince Kara Georgovitch, the new
king. Is the grandson Of the famous
Black George" who in 1894 raised
the first insurrection against the
Turks. The new king is 60.years old
and has resided in Geneva for some
time past, where he conducted the
propaganda in favor of his claims
for the throne.
A notable coincidence in the affair
is that on this date, 1858. Alexander's
great uncle was assassinated. This
mornings tragedy ends the s0-year
contest between the Georgeovitch and
Obrenovitch families. Black Kara
George, a peasant, drove the Turks
from the country and ruled from 1907
until 1917, when the Turks again
gained control.
They placed Miloch, the first of the
Obrenovitches on the throne. He
ruled until 1899 and was deposed by
Black George and forced to flee.
