1 SOCIALIST VICTORY
German Elections Disclose Heavy
Socialist Gains and Correspond
ing Radical Losses.

I Berlin, June 17.-The socialists victory
at the reichstag elections yesterday was
largely at the expense OF the two radical
parties who acted with the social
lists in the last reichstag on tariff and
military affairs. Hence, on these ques-
tions, the new house is not distinctly diff
ferent from the old one.
Official returns from $50 constituencies
are: socialists So, center party go, conser-
vatives 81, free conservatives A. national
liberals !, Poles 5, other factions IL.
Total OF members elected, 161.
Second elections are required In 1863
constituencies.
The failure of either of the radical
parties to get a single seat does not mean
that they will not get a number of mem :
bers at the second elections, as then
their candidates will be supported by all
the anti-socialist parties.
| The socialists gains, according to their
figures. are twenty-five seats, compared
with the first balIotings of 1893 From
ninety eight second ballotings then they
elected twenty four members.
The socialists now claim fifty sever
members elected and say they expect te
lreach eighty. thru the re-ballots.

ment Espionage.

Washington. June 17.-secretary Root
has issued an order designed to call a halt
upon the proposed opium monopoly in the
Philippines and the placing Of the opium

except Chinese. Sales are to be controlled
by concessionaire, who may acquire the
right to sell opium in the islands by bid

,-, Even Flees.
It has been decided that Mr.. Even
would not be safe here, even In camp with
the soldiers, as sharpshooters might pick
him out sometime when he was not in
the tent. Accordingly he took the s
o'clock train this morning, boarding 1t at
a point across the river, which he reached
by way Of the foot bridge on the Pan
Handle. guard of soldiers accompanied
him and saw him safely aboard the train.
The camp is located on the river bank
and he did not have to expose himself to
the part of the town controlled by the
dominant faction. He sent several OF his
children away yesterday to relatives and
friends at different places and secured a
place for his wife and younger children
here until he can make other arrange
ments.
For the first time in eight months Police
Judge CardweH tried an offender this NOR
ming. Cardwell Is a Cardwell- -Cockrell
partizan like the late J. B. Marcum. Up
to the time the militia took possession of
the town he had been a prisoner In his
own house, having received threats of as
sassinat1on. The men brought before him
by the militia were Lee Gay and Lewis
Johnson, known as henchmen from Perry
county Of the dominant faction. They
were charged with assaulting Gray Had
dicks, who had been witness before the
grand jury against Crawford and Tharpe,
charged with having set fire to Ewens
hotel. Judge Cardwell fined Gay SO and
costs and johnson $25 and gave him ten
days in Jail for carrying concealed wea-
pons. -.r...
When court convened this morning
Judge H. r. French, the lawyer of the
French faction Of the French -Eversole
feud, and who is the leading attorney fol
the defense Of Jett and White, began the
opening argument for the defense befors
Judge Redwine. He declared that County
Judge Blanton, who had said that Wit
ness Crawford had been arrested, had lied
Judge -Blanton sprang to his feet and ap.
preached Judge French, but Elizor Jones
threw himself between the men and Judge
Redwine finally secured quiet in the court
room Judge Redwine then threatened tt
send Judge Blanton to Jail for contempt
of court, and admonished Judge French
to be more temperate in his language.

It is said that Hill and Morgan agree to
the main features Of this plan, but object
to having them carried out until the court
has finally pronounced the present merger
illegal. The Northern Securities company,
as company, being legal, and orders OF
the court being directed at its ownership
of the Northern Pacific and Great North

The Hartman bankers, being positive Of

stock that may be issued for the North

road, are understood to be willing to com
promise and leave the Northern Securities
company in existence, if Hill and Nor
gan will release the original Northern

New York, June 17.-Ten thousand en-

to-day by order Of the company, thus
making the lockout in the building trades
complete.
While not member of the employers
association, the Fuller company took this

maintained by the association
To-day the 15e, 900 laboring men who
are idle because they are members of the
building trades unions, have been served
with an ultimatun Of the combined con-
tracing constructors to the effect that
they will have to remain idle as long as
the Individual unions refuse to sign the
plan or agreement of arbitration and con-
ciliation proposed by the employers as
ISOLATION.
Settlement In Sight.
Chicago, June 1.-THE settlement Of
the hotel and restaurant strike appears
to-day to hinge upon technicalities. The
exact construction to be put upon the
term 'union recognition" is the stumbling
block to a speedy adjustment. The joint
board of the strikers unions is inclined
to hold out for an agreement to employ
union men and women only, While the
hotel and restaurant owners declare they
can do not better than promise not to
discriminate.
The Joint board in conference early to-
day was unable to agree upon the accept
ance Of the employers terms and decided
to submit the matter to President Comp
| ers. The resumption Of business by the
large downtown restaurants precipitated
several incipient fights, the pickets gen
orally selecting women for their victims.
On the whole, however, regular service
with almost q full complement of help In
| the kitchens and dining rooms was eff
| fected by all Of the strike-bound estab-
| lishments.
President Gonpers is said to have de.
! clared that the strike must not go on II
! the face of the fair offers made by the
hotel and restaurant owners. He is not II
favor Of continuing the fight for the ex
| elusive employment OF unionists, holding

And Is Shown Thru the Apartments
Where King Alexander Met
His Death.
King Peter Exchanges kilograms
With the sovereigns of Vari-
Gus European Powers.
Belgrade Is Quiet and the People
Apparently Are Paying No At
tention to Politics.

Belgrade, June 17.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press to-day was al
lowed to inspect the palace in which King
Alexander and Queen Draga were mur-E
dered. The bedroom, which is furnished
in Empire style, remains in the same
condition as when the king and queen
fed from it on the approach of the as
sassins. French novels lie on the king
table and the queens toilet articles, per-
fumes and cosmetics cover her dressing
table. The costly silk draperies are full
Of bullet holes, the conspirators having
shot wildly in all directions thru and un-
der the bed, chairs and tables, in their
efforts to reach their victims.
A simple wardrobe room,. leading di-
rectly from the bedroom, was the scene
of the final act in the drama. The apart
ment is lofty but scarcely seven feet
wide and fifteen feet long and is fur
nished only with three great wardrobes.
The officers who attended the corre-
spondent showed the latter the blood
stained floor at one. end Of the room,
broken Venetian window thru which the
bodies We're thrown to the floor below.
Cannon Were In Place.
A secret stairway leads from this floor
to rooms in the southern end of the pal
ace BY this stairway the hapless' couple
might have attempted to escape, but they,
were unable to do so because the stairway
was covered by heavy chest Escape
in any event would have been impossible.
as the soldiers who had surrounded the
palace were so determined to kill the king
and queen that they had even placed can
non In front of the palace and were pre-
pared to destroy the building in the event
of falling to find their. prey.
Each of the three rooms between fha
tvestibule and the bed chamber showed
| marks of the tragedy. Mirrors were shat.
tered, pictures were shot thru furniture
| was broken, there were bullet holes In the
door and in the oil portraits of the king,
| which were in every ROOM and most Of the
latter were otherwise mutilated But lit
| tie effort had been made to renovate the
| apartments.
Rooms Simply Furnished
The royal apartments were simply and
tastefully furnished, chiefly in oriental
ance. The interior Of the palace might
have been thatSof country house be-
longing to a prosperous American The
house of the adjutant, Lasar Petrovich
/ which was the first attacked, is even a
i greater wreck than the royal apartments.
i The entrance was completely destroyed by
dynamite. The adjutant then escaped
lunhurt, but he was killed later in the
vestibule of the palace. A large blood
stain marks the spot where he died.
! It was in a bare, whitewashed room of
1 the commandments quarters, adjoining the
palace, that Queen Draga's two brothers
were shot while sitting on wooden chairs,
which bear marks Of the bullets The
proceedings in the palace to-day showed
the same absolute callousness which has
characterized the actions and demeanor
of everybody in Belgrade since the trag-
edy.

Hamilton, N. D., June 17.-With her
graduation flowers still fragrant and still
wearing the gown in which she received
her diploma from the Hamilton high
school, Mabel Collins, daughter Of Mayor
Collins and one Of the most popular young
ladies in this city, is the wife Of Eph
Armstrong, a young farmer near here,
who stole her away Sunday morning, and
altho both young folks knew the wrath
Of the girls parents would be fierce, they
hurried to Cavalier and were married.
Now the bride is imprisoned at the home
Of the bridegroom's father, fearful Of the
vengeance Of her infuriated father. The
girls mother is sick in bed as a result
Of her daughters hasty marriage.
1t is alleged the young man who planned
the elopement slept the night before the
wedding in an old barn here. The young
people say they were driven to despera-
tion by the act of her father, who, II
is said, caught them together Saturday
evening after the graduation exercises
and, unable to control himself, struck
both Armstrong and his daughter, ba6
black eye resulting in each instance.
