 Opinion of Majorfiy-EIection of New
 King To-day-Former Queen Natalie Asks if She Will be Allowed to Return and Visit Sou's Grave.
 Belgrade, June 14.-Complete order prevailed in Belgrade last night and ab- sUlute quiet is still reported this after noon throughout Servia. The streets | of this capital bear an animated ap- pearance, being crowded with officers, l ladies and large numbers of students | who have arrived from abroad, it is be- lieved with the object of demonstrating in favor of Prince Peter Karageorge- witch as king. Some republican ten dencies are noticeable among the stu dents who have studied in France and 1 Switzerland. These latter, however, are quite overshadowed by the opinion of the majority and there seems to be no doubt that the national assembly | will tomorrow pronounce in favor of a monarchy and elect Prince Kara kgeorgevitch. The newspapers continue to point out the irnpossibility of the es- tablishment of republic and advocate the election of Prince Karageorgevitch in order to assure a brighter epoch in Servian politics.
 The foreign diplomatists in Belgrade continue to maintain an attitude of strict reserve.
 Peter Velimirovitch, one of the oldest and most prominent members of the Radical party and a former minister of state, has been appointed president of the senate in succession to M. Marinko- witch, who has resigned. M. Velimiro- witch will take the chair at the joint meeting of the senate and the Skup- schtina to-norrow on the occasion of the election of the new king.
 After the election of the king to-mor- row, the Skupschtina will draw up a programme of procedure for the new sovereign and will then adjourn until the arrival of the king at Belgrade. The sovereign will then form a new minis | try and dissolve the Skupschtina. l The provisional government yester- | day pardoned all persons imprisoned | for political and press offenses and or | dered their immediate release. No ar rests have occurred, nor have any sem tences been passed since the tragic events of last Thursday. The court of | cessation and the appeal court sus- pended their sittings from that time. Prince Karageergevitch, althogh lit tie is known of him among the people generally here, even his photographs are not exhibited in the shop windows, seems to have cought the public fancy, and his election will evidently be a popular one. | Former Queen Natalie has telegraph ed to her former lady-in-waiting to make inquiries whether she will be per- mitted to come to Servia and visit her sons grave.
 i Lieutenant Colonel Milislav Zivano- vics of the general staff committed sui eide by shooting himself on Friday. It is understood that the officer took his fife because among the late kings pa pers was found letter from Zivano- ! Ix-;o inf nf y1lp 1af his life. The newspapers, however, at- tempt to make out the suicide to be the result of money troubles.
 Various reports are in circulation re- garding the value of the late queens estate, which was said to amount to $2,- 100000 chiefly invested in her sisters name in Switzerland and Belgium A commission is now engaged making an | inventory of the property of the royal couple and it is thought probable that
 the total private estates of both will
 be found to exceed half the sum men,
 toned.
 | The autopsy on the kings body show ed that he had skull of extraordinary thickness of eleven millimetres, whereas the skulls of the strongest men usually measures only six millimetres. The
 brain was found to be in catarrhal state, and the liver unusually large and surrounded with fat, indicating that the king was an excessive eater, and drink CT.
 | Belgrade, June 14--At conference of senators and deputies held here late to-
 night it was unanimously resolved that the constitution voted by the great na- tional assembly in 1888 should be put in
 force, and that Prince Peter Kara georgevitch should be unanimously elected king at to-morrow's joint meet ing of the Skupshtina and senate. Af- ter the election a deputation of the as- l sembly will be sent to wait upon Prince Peter and communicate to him the de- cision of the national assembly. The Servian constitution of 1888 was a more liberal one than any granted previously and provided that all taxpaying citizens should become electors, by whose votes I the Skupshtina was elected.
