Nothing seems t9 be doing, at
least that is observable to the
public eye, regarding the alleged
refusal of the State Treasurer to
pay out money for institution
bonds, from the school fund. An
article written in Fargo, and ap-
bearing in the Twin CITY papers
asserts that the board in charge
pf the school fund, believes that
it has the say as to what money
shall be used to buy these bonds,
and it has ordered the state audi
tor to issue his warrants for
money for these bonds, and the
treasurer will be mandamused
ifherefuses to cash the warrants.
1t may be that this will be the
way to test the question, and
doubtless this method will suit

Washington, June IA former United

who now occupies high official position
in this city. when apprised of the assassina-
tion of the King and Queen of Servia. re-
marked that he had been expecting some de-
velopment of the sort for months
King Alexander was unpopular, not only
with his people. but with his Minister'S" he
said.
II remember banquet at which the King.
to the surprise of everybody, made speech
in English and proposed a toast to the
United States. After l had responded 1
turned to one of his Ministers. who was sit
ting beside me. and expressed my surprise
that the King could speak English, as had
always conversed with him in French. The
Minister replied:
oh. he does not understand a word. He
just repeats 1t like n parrot
This. 1 afterwards discovered. was not
true. because I talked with the King in
English, but 1t showed the contempt in
which he was held even by his closest ad-
visers.
king Alexander was a weak man intel
lectualiy as we'll as in every other way. He
was one Of the uglst men 1t has ever been
my fortune to meet. But he was a pleasant
sort of chap. I knew Queen Draga before
they We're married. She was quiet pre-

COULD DO WHAT SHE
PLEASED WITH KING.
She was ambitious and of great intel
lectual attachments. woman of that sort
could do practically what she pleased with
a man like the King.
AS to the political effect Of the assassi-
nation of both the King and the Queen,
cannot say. l have been too long away
from there to be thoroughly acquainted
with the situation and all OF Its ramifica-
tons. 1t is apt to bring UP the entire So
called Eastern question. The most inter-
estirg and the most important question
now Is What will Austria do?
Il understand that Prince Kara-George-
vich is strongly pro-Russian In his policy.
while Alexander was anti-RuSSian ana
leaned more toward Austria and England.
1t is hard to tell what the Powers will do
in view of the present developments.
They may decide to do nothing and let
events take their course. Or 1t may result
in the disintegration OF Servia and its d.
vision between Bulgaria and Roumania
Incidentally. 1t might be remarked that

ton in Bulgaria and Servia."
