BREAKS OFF RELATIONS.
Great Britain Withdraws Her Minis
ter From servia.

Belgrade, June 2O.-Great Britain has
practically broken off diplomatic rela-
tions with Servia. The British minis
ter, Sir G. f, Bonham, win leave here
Monday for England. The consul of
Great Britain, w. G.. Thesiger, will
take charge of British interests.
Unless King Peter is prepared to al
together ignore the foreign demands
for the punishment of the assassins of
King Alexander and Queen Draga, his
only means of satisfying any require
ments appears to be to persuade the
criminals to absent themselves until
quiet is restored, when they will be
permitted to resume their places in the
army.
1t is suggested in official quarters
that Russia may possibly advise the
officers concerned to so absent them
selves.
Col. Mischief, who took a prominent
part in the assassination at the palace
has been gazetted commandant of the
military district of Belgrade.

ANOTHER DECISION
IN THE TRlGG CASE

Richmond. Va. June 20.-In the mat
ter of creditors asking that the Will
liam r. Trigg Shipbuilding Company
be adjudged a bankrupt, Judge Wad-
dell rendered a decisionNto- day that the
appointment of a receiver by the
Chancery Court of the City of Rich
mond, Dec. %, 1902, which was the act
of bankruptcy complained of in the
petition, could not be taken advantage
of under the amendment of Feb. S,
1903
Judge Wa6dill holds that the amend
ment of Feb. 5, 1903, is not retroactive,
and could not extend to the appoint
ment of a receiver prior to Feb. 5,
1908, as was the case in the appoint
ment of receiver for the Trigg Com
pany.
1t is thought probable that this de-
cision may further complicate the sit
uation in respect TO the cruiser Gal
weston.
