PETER THE FIRST IN BELGRADE,

Kara Georgevitch drove into BELGRADE Yesterday
morning amid the plaudts Of the multitude which was
MADE up lmpartaly of the and the classes of
the civil and the military forces. Repairing first to the
cens1on to the throne, he from there proceeded to the
state palace where he held his first Ievee The enlv
representatives of the foreign powers who were
this reception were the ministers of Russia and Ans
lathe two nations that have formally requested Peter
to punish the murderers of the late king and ieen Of
Serva To be sure the Austrian minister was rAse+
ed to the king by the Russian minister thereby AVOIDING
any appearance of recognizing the provisional govern
ment, but when it is remembered that Peter now repre-
sents the provisional government, the Austrian minis
ters scrupes seem rather puerile
Report has it that the new king of Servia bowed
oftener to the military men than to the civilians bt
those OF the outside world who have followed the
recent events Serva will hardly be DISPOSED
to crlt1cse Peter for this nasmuch as the military bav
ing successfully managed little coup detat is oute
capable of planning another Peters conduct shows to
use homely phrase that he knows on which side his
bread is buttered. ~
Inc tact that he has diplomacy as we'll as Austria
ana Russia to help him in the present crisis of his life
argues something for long and peaceful reign The
greatest danger to the new king seems to lie in the
slbity that Russia may obtain too strong an inAenc
over him.
The Serbs have already demonstrated that thew IN
teho 10 retain TAR degree of liberty But Russia has
SHOWN any mind to grant anybody any degree of
oerty ana II She obtains undue influence over Peter
H. the outlook will be bad both for him and for the
Serbs Indeed should the military become exactno and
Russia domlneerng the king of Serva will find himself
between the devil and the deep sea-
However it is probable that Russia will consider
1t to her own interest to keep peace for time at least
IN the opera boue realm and doubtless the military
disposed to give the king fair trial But no matter
what view he takes of the future the cries Of T on, live
Peter the First yesterday, must have sounded rather
ironical in the new kings ears

progressed they also know that there crying need

about by acts of depreciation by bodily assaults and hys

Between the utterances of the Catholic preate and

were heard in evening however, gives the public
chance to contrast methods of latter day temperance
advocates. Because the hystercal method furnishes
more copy to the newspapers, many have to as
sociate all temperance advocates with the class which
pursues it. But the language of the distinguished repre-
sentative of the other class here in ST. Paul will go far
toward removing that impression. Certainly his words

of the county board whereby provision made for the
diStrain of personal property the liquidation

bankrupt Other cities followed suit. Minneapolis sent
the sheriff on collecting the other day and re-
celved thereby deal of undesirable advertising
Now St Paul is about to into the line of bust
Is there warrant for this action?
10 be sure the condition is eXasperating. There are
a tremendous number of small bills for personal taxes
IN the hands of the sheriff The difficulties that would
stand in the of the collection of these small bills by
means OF suit apparent The would be immense
and the results would scarcely justify the measure But
the county and city need the money The law provides
Tor the seizure of personal property upon which the
taxes have become delinquent and the collection of these
small bills is certain by this method

Chicago may follow the calling out of

cording to President Curran, Of the
Freight Handlers union, unless the

necessary for him to extend the strike
to the other lines to enforce the de-

The freight handlers employed by
the Alton road quit work today be-
cause two union men had been dis
charged. There is no question of
wages in the controversy, as less than
a month ago all the roads signed a new
wage scale granting the freight han
dlers substantial increase in wages.
President Curran asserts that the
two men were discharged because they
were prominent in the Freight Han
dlers' union, and he says these two
men must be refnStated.
The railroad management declares
the men were discharged for neglect of
duty and cannot be taken back

CLAIM ROAD CUT RATE.
st. Paul Chicago Line Is Accused OF
Reducing So Tariff.

1t was claimed yesterday that one
of the st. Paul-Chicago lines had dis
covered that a competitor was cutting
the new So rate to Chicago. This was
denied, however, by the line accused,
and the denial was accepted. The lines
are busily watching each other, as
suspicion is far from removed, and
there is still considerable jealousy.
Just now it looks as though the low
rate will be maintained all summer at
least, unless severe rate war ensues,
and in the readjustment rates are
boosted to the old figure. The rail-
roads do not deny that they can affUrd
to keep in a 2 cents a mile rate if
there is enough travel The travel is
good during the summer season, but
when it falls off there is likely to be a
move for a higher rate.
