the addition of the laws existing be-
fore the coup d'etat March 2l last.
I'm opening parliament the govern
ment recalls to the peoples represen-
tatives their first duty to the father
land, namely, to elect king and a
constitution.
THE government hopes the coun-
try will achieve happiness and pros
perity."

church, returning little later to the
palace. The ceremony of electing
the king was conducted in the Sale
Des Fetes, which had been specially
arranged for the occasion. The met
ropolitan of Belgrade and the bishop
of Nish in their full robes of office
lent the sanction of their presence.
The members of the provisional gov
ernment and the presidents of the
chamber and senate sat at the head
of the white and gold decorated hall,
while below them were grouped the
members of the senate and the
sllupshtina.
The formal motion that Prince
Karageorgevitch be elected king of
servia was moved by a radical deputy
named Neschics, who was attired in
the national costume. Immediately
about arose from the assembly of
Long live Karageorgevitch." Each
member was then called by name and
rose quietly from his seat and gave
his vote of peter Karageorgevitch." !"
There was absolute unanimity, no
other name but that of Prince Kara
georgevitch being pronounced. The
result was greeted with loud cheers
and to the minister of justice, NJ.
Schiokoyich, hastened to the balcony
overlooking the street and announced
to the people: Peter the first of
the dynasty of Karageorgevitch is
your new king"
At Z o'clock last evening tele-
gram to the government arrived from
the new king. 1t ran: "The splen-
did proofs of devotion for my be-
loved people, my faithful army and
patriotic government have deeply
touched me. From the bottom of n
true Servian heart, / thank provi-
dence, which has vouchsafed me, by
Gods mercy and through his will to
ascend the throne of my famous an
cestors. ! beg you, the premier and
your colleagues in the government to

TROUBLE AVERTED.
Anthracite Miners Select Representa-
tives on Board OF fCOnciiiatio o n-Kaer
Satisfied with Their Action.

Scranton, Pa, June 17.-There was
no strike in the anthracite region
growing out of the refusal of the OPP
orators to recognize the credentials
of District Presidents Nichols, Fahy
and Dettrey, selected by the joint eX-
ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers as the miners representa-
tives on the board of conciliation.
The convention of the United Mine
Workers yesterday elected the three
district presidents by districts as
their Representatives and the opera
tors through President George r.
Baer, of the Reading Co., announced
that this action was satisfactory.
When the miners convention adj
.journed Monday afternoon it was for
the ostensible purpose of giving the
committee on resolutions opportu-
nifty to frame report embodying the
sentiment of the convention as ex-
pressed in the motions and speeches
of Monday afternoons session. Dur
ing the night and early yesterday
morning Mr.. Connell, of the concilia-
tion board on the one hand and Pres
ident Mitchell on the other commu
nicated with one another through
DR.. Charles p. SELL, who was sent
here as a peace envoy by some mem
bers of the strike commission. and
the result was a tentative agreement
that if the miners in the three sep
arat district conventions elected rep
resentatives, those representatives
would not be objected to by the OPP
orators. When the convention open
ed yesterday morning President
Mitchell read the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions providing for
the election of concilators by sepa-
rate district conventions.
The report was adopted unani-
mously, but with absolutely no show
of enthusiasm.
President Mitchell then announced
that the three districts would next
vote separately on the selection of
representatives on the board of con-
ciliation. While the delegates of one
district were voting, he explained,
those of the other two districts
would remain silent.
Nominating resolutions similarly
worded, except as to nominee and To-
cality were presented in turn by
delegates previously selected from
each district and with rousing and
unanimous "ayes" the three district
presidents were duly elected as con-
ciliators.
In answer to an inquiry to one of
the delegates, President Mitchell
stated that no increase had been
forthcoming for May under the pro-
visions of the sliding scale because
the average price" of coal had not
advanced to $4.55, although the circu-
lar price was $4.60. He had seen the
figures, he said, and presumed they
were correct. The average price had
only gone up to 1852. The June
price, he thought, would reach $4.62
and the miners would have a 2 per
cent. increase coming to them.

tion restraining Lieuts. Thesis and

Washington, June 20.-EXcept to
announce that 'The Galveston mat
ter is in the hands of the attorney
general ana nothing on the subject
will be said at this department"
Secretary Moody refused TO discuss
yesterdays cabinet meeting or the
probable action of the department in
view of the revised opinion of Attor-
ney General Knox. He desired to be
PidNth III iIIC dllltDlc Vi lllS
ing on the subject and he requested
Rear Admiral Bowles, who advanced
the contention regarding the rights
of the government to be equally
mindful of the presidents wishes as
to silence on the subject.
Modification of the attorney gen
erals opinion which, in its unrevised
form already had been communicated
to Secretary Moody, somewhat dis
arranges for the moment the pro-
gram of the department as to show
of force. He thinks show of force
under the circumstances will be mex
pedient and the navy department
therefore must content itself with
waiting for the advice of the depart
ment of justice in the matter Mean
while it has instructed its agents at
Richmond not to interfere with the
order of the court until officially in
structed by the department.
Secretary Moody yesterday request
ed the attorney general to instruct
the proper district attorney to enter
into a stipulation regarding the
cruiser Chattanooga, which has been
attached by creditors of the New
