CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
A. W. Machen Will Probably be
Indicted Again by the Grand Jury,
This Time for FOrEery-Lorenz, of
Toledo. Says Signatures on Check
and Voucher Are Forgeries.

Washington, June lit is believed
that the grand jury will shortly be
asked by the pos stoffice authorities to
find another indictment against A W.
Machen, the former superintendent of
the free delivery system. The charge,
it is said, will be forgery based upon
the cashing of a check for 1869, drawn
office in 1894 in favor of Henry T..
Lorenz, of Toledo, Ohio. 1t is claimed
that the money was to have been sent
to Mr.. Lorenz in care of Mr.. Machen
endorsed by Frank K. Raymond who
says he had the check cashed for Mr.
Ma chen. These facts were brought out
at congressional investigation but
Mr.. ~Machen said at the time that the
signature was that of Lorenz
Mr.. LOrenz has declared that the
signatures both on the check and vouch-
er accompanying it, are forgeries He
declares that he has not received a cent
of the money and has no knowledge of
the transaction.
The general impression about the
court house is that the Indictment will
be returned before the close of the pres
ent week, and it is intimated that other
indictments will be returned at the
same time.

Belgrade, June 1.-THE receipt of the
Cars telegram to King Peter in the
opinion of the best informed persons,
natives and foreigners, terminates all
possibility Of an internal rising against
the provisional government of Servia.
The dispatch has SO strengthened the
hands Of the consp1rators that there is
no chance whatever of opposition to
them. Nothing is now heard but talk
of the approaching reception of the
new king.
The Skupschtina and Senate during
the day apodted a modification Of the
constitution of 1883.
The army regards the Cars telegram
as putting the seal of approval on the
deeds of their officers.
Up to the present the diplomatic
corps has officially ignored the provis-
ional government but the Servian Of
ficialS express the conviction that the
powers generally are bound to follow
RuSSiaS lead.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press today was allowed to inspect the
palace in which King Alexander and
Queen Draga We're murdered. The bed
room, which is furnished in empire
style remains in the same condition as
when the king and queen fed from il
on the approach of the aSSaSSinS.
French novels lie on the kings table
and the queens toilet articles, perfumes
and cosmetics, cover her dressing
table. The costly silk bed coverings
are full of bullet holes, the conSpiratorS
having shot wildly in all directions,
through and under the bed, chairs and
tables, in the efforts to find their vic
civ,
directly from the bed room, was the
scene of the final act In the drama. The
officers who attended the correspondent
showed the latter the blood stained
floor at one end of the room where the
king and queen fell, and the broken
Venetian shutter at the window,
through which their bodies We're thrown
to the ground below.
Each of the three rooms between the
vestibule and the bed chamber showed
marks of the tragedy. Mirrors were
shattered. pictures were shot through,
the furniture was broken, there were
bullet holes in the doors and IN the Or.
portraits of the king which were in
every room. and most of the latter were
otherwise mutilated.
Inside proceedings in the palace to-
| day showed the same absolute callous-
ness which has characterized the ac-
t1onS and demeanor of everybody in
! Belgrade since the tragedy The Ser
| Wan officers, chattering and smiling,
| led their guest to the different rooms,
| eagerly pointing out the bullet holes,
| dynamite marks and blood-stains and
displaying the greatest solicitude that
| none of the traces Of the slaughter
| should be overlooked.
Queen Draga's costly gowns and
| lingerie were ovehauled by the rough
| hands of the soldiers when the Asso-
| ciated Press correspondent was in her
| bed room, and rude jests were made
| concerning the drawer full of clothes
| which was suggested were intended for

says, IS the choice of the family name

cording to DR.. Krak, out of population
