largest firms in the Kensington district
had this morning conceded the demands
OF the strikers for a 55-hour working week
One of the firms conceding was a prom
inent upholstery manufacturer, who made
the request of the committee that the
name Of his firm should be withheld for
the present. This mill is said to be one
Of The largest of its class I'm the city, and
when the news was taken to the meeting
of the Executive Committee that st would
resume at once on the 55-hour basis the
cheering was so loud that It was heard on
the street.
The other concession was made by the
Brown Knitting Company, located al

cessions make the total number Of firms

King Had Many Enemies.

The assassination of the Servian
monarch is the not unexpected result
of the coup d'etat of King Alexander on
the 7th of last April when he, by proc
lamation, suspended the constitution,
adopted IN 1901, retired Objectionable
councillors Of State. dissolved The leg
islative assembly and re-enacted the
laws as they existed prior to 1901. The
country has. however been on the point
of revolution for several years an ac-
count OF the Kings marriage TO Queen
Draga Maschin. who was formerly
lady-in-waiting to to Queen Nathalie,
former King Milan's wife. At the time
Of her marriage to Alexander. in 1905,
she was a widow and she was much
older than the King.
Alexander, who was twenty seven
years old, succeeded to the throne of
Servia in 1889, on the abdication of his
father, King Milan. Recently there
have been strange stories coming from
Belgrade regarding the relations of
King Alexander and his wife.
The announcement of the Kings be-
trOthal caused a great sensation. The
Servian Ministry promptly resigned, de-
claring the proposed marriage prepos-
ferrous and a menace to the State. For
mer King Milan heard the news at
Carlsbad and Immediately telegraphed
his resignation as commander of the
Servian army. II also started at once
for Belgrade, but the young King again
showed his spirit He sent officers to
the frontier to prevent his fathers re-
turlt and organized a new ministry.
King Alexander married Nine. Mas
chin in Belgrade on August 5, 1900.
Though the marriage had been SO Wig
orously opposed officially, the people
seemed to have no objection and the
bridal party was heartily cheered. The
King had taken the precaution, how
ever, to have the streets lined with
troops.
It is rumored that all of King Alex
ander's ministers were also murdered.
This is stated to have occurred be-
tween the hours Of IL and o'clock this
morning.

WHO WILL Be CHAIRMAN
OF FINANCE COMMITTEE?
An Interesting Fight Pre-
dicted in New Council for
This Question

Little business was discussed at the
usual meeting of the various commit
tees Of city Council last night. Many
candidates for offices within the gift
of Council were present, and numerous
confidential talks we-e held between
the councilmen and aspirants for pub
lie positions.
A lively fight for chairmanship OF
the Finance Committee is predicted.
Councilman Kane, who holds the posi-
ton at present. desires to succeed him
self. but has opposition TO overcome
IN order to land the job. Michael
Cannon, the Second ward member, has
his eye on the position, and friends are
pulling every political wire In order TO
secure his appointment.
Another candidate for this important
office is Joseph E. McCanerty, of the
Tenth ward. He is at present chairman
Of the Fire Committee, and, although a
young man. is capable according TO his
friends of filling any position Of trust
in Council.
Has Not Considered Appointments.
In speaking of the appointment OF a
Water Commissioner this morning,
Mayor-elect Bird said:
Il have not even considered the mat
ter, and viii not until until / am sworn

Gil But Vetoed by Mayor
Fisher

Matter Has Since Been Lying
Dormant-lt is the Opinion Of
Many That Something Should Be
Done.

City Solicitor Reinhard. will appear
before City Council toni sht TO urge ac-
tion upon the proposed cocaine law.
An ordinance was passed some time
ago by Council prohibiting the sale OF
this poisonous drug, but Mayor Fisher
did not approve of certain things In the
measure. and returned il without his
signature.
Since that time the ordinance has
been i'm the possession OF City Council.
but for some reason nothing has been
done toward arriving az satisfactory
conclusion I'm reference TO the subject.
some say that Council was mifed at
the Mayors action in returning the
proposed ordinance without his ap-
proval, and on that account allowed the
matter to lie dormant.
That something should be done to-
ward creating law restricting the
sale of this particular drug" said an
official this morning, lis without Ques-
tion. The number of people addicted
TO the habit in the city is appalling, and
If something is not done shortly TO
break uD the vice, serious crime may
result from the use of the poison.
within two weeks past several coll
ored people, among whom the habit
has the greatest hold, have been found
upon the streets In an unconscious con-
diiton under the effects of the drug,
and others have become partially in
sane from the constant shifting Of the
