PARIS EXCITED AT NEWS.
Assassination Creates Sensation In
French Capital.


Paris, June 11.-TheS startling an
nouncement Of the assassination of the
king and queen of Servia caused a
great sensation here. particularly in
governmental circles The foreign
office received early advices from the
French minister at Belgrade, confirm
Ing the Belgrade press dispatches, and
adding that the city was comparative
ly quiet this morning, the people
seeming to accept the proclamation
Of Prince Karageorgevitch as king.
Foreign Minister Delcasse communi-
Gated his advices to President Loubet.
Officials OF the foreign office say 1t
IS too soon to indicate clearly the ef-
feet Of the situation of the Servian
people.
Servia's dynastic troubles have been
long impending, the present uprising
being due to the trouble growing out
OF the propaganda of the pretender,
Karageorgevitch. 1t is recalled that
when the Karageorgewitch dynasty Sc
cured brief rules in 1858 the European
powers interviewed and established a
protectorate and thus terminated that
dynasty. Whether there will be simi-
lar action of the powers at this time
officials are unwilling to predict.

FLOOD SITUATION
Muddy Mississippi Still High

Thousands Of Homeless on the East

Comparative Comfort in Tents and
Other Modes of Shelter.

st. Louis, June 1.-THE situation
in East st. Louis remains about the
same as last might. The flood on the
south Is still being held back at Mis-
souri, avenue, where the Ievee is
watched INCREASINGLY as elsewhere by
thousands of workers with bags of
sand to stop any break that may oc-

to fall. The stage at the dam was
379. This may relieve the situation
generally during the day if the fall
continues, but until there is a decided
decline in the flood the city will be
at the mercy Of the wall Of water that
surrounds 1t on three sides.
The night was cold for this time of
the year and there was considerable
suffering as result among the thou.
sands of homeless persons on the east
side, most of whom, however, were
taken care of in comparative comfort
in tents and other modes of shelter
Lack of drinking water is one of

caught in the second stories of their
dwellings, by the food Many are
compelled to drink the water that sur.
rounds them on all sides and much
sickness is likely to result if this con.

Congressman w. A. Rodenburg, who

submerged district, taking off people
from the second stories and roofs OF
houses and removing them to places

CAUSES LEADING TO REVOLT.
People Dissatisfied With AIexander's
Actions-Queen DisIiked.


London, June 1.-THE Servian min.
lister said there were many causes
leading to the revolution. A large
section of the people were greatly dis
satisfied with the tendency of King
Alexander to eliminate the radical ell
ement and the contention to appoint
Queen Draga's brother, Lunjevitza,
heir apparent. In addition to this the
queen was disiked by the people who
were also intensely outraged at the
recent suspension of the constitution
The minister did not anticipate that
the changes would result in internec.
inc strife or in any real dangers to
the country. He pointed out that the
original Karagorvitch was not a
prince. He was a rich swine owner.
The father of the new king was made
a prince in 1912
The minister also related a curious
incident. He said that month ago
he was present at clarivoyant's Sc.
ance at which a letter written by the
murdered king was handed to the
clairyoyant, who Immediately became
violently agitated, proclaimed that
King Alexander would be assassinated
very shortly and even depicted the
scene which appears to have been en-.
acted at the palace at Belgrade dur.
Ing the night.
The tragedy of the palace at Bel.
grade, marking the latest Of the revo.
lutions which have convulsed Servia
from time to time during the past cen.
tury, is not regarded in diplomatic
circles in London as likely to lead to
civil war. Stress is laid on the un.
popularity of King Alexander since his
marriage to Queen Draga. King Alex
ander's successor, Peter Karagorge
witch, is a son-in-law of the Prince oil
Montenegro and is regarded as being
Nost acceptable to the people
The universal anxiety of the govern
ments of Europe for peace is advanced
as a reason why the Servlan situation
is not likely to lead to complications
Should, however, these unexpectedly
arise, official circles think an Austro
Hungarian army will Immediately
march into Servia and restore order
This eVentuality, however, is consid
cred improbable.
