Servia's King.

By a unanimous vote of the Servian
Senate and Skupstchina yesterday morn
ing, Prince PETER KARAGEoRGEvITcH
has been elected King of Servia with right
of succession to his son GEORGE. The
election has been untrammelled by in
reference on the part of Great Britain,
France, Germany and Italy, and with
out protest on the part Of Russia or
Austria, from whom some such action
might have been expected on account OF
the circumstances connected with the
vacating Of the Servian throne.
For the first time in its history, Servia
has been permitted to surmount a seri-
GUS crisis without European interview
ton. This may be due perhaps to
the personal character of the new King,
who is man of mature age and serious
disposition and has had the advantage
of military training, having been edu-
Gated at the French military college of
st. Cyr, and having served in the French
Army.
These qualities naturally commend
him to the Servian people and army
and, coupled with the fact that he Is
a Servian and descended from one
of the two most distinguished leaders in
the wars of Servian liberation from the
Turk, have obviated the necessity of
sending abroad for q ruler, as the Greeks
and Bulgarians were obliged to send, or
of having one imposed on them by the
European Powers, as in the case OF Rou-
mania. 1t only remains now for Prince
PETER to accept the crown offered him
to secure the recognition of all the Pow
ers, for there is no reason for believing
that he was in any way party to the
tragedy through which he comes to the
throne; and there is no desire on the part
of any of the European Governments
to make it cause Of war in the event Of
the regicides going UNPUBLISHED, as it is
reported they will. The Servian Gov
eminent and people can in many ways be
made to feel the influence of the opinion
of the civilized world in this matter. In
the nature of things, the new King can
not long permit the regicides to remain
in or about the capital, and when the new
order Is established most Of those con-
nected with the recent conspiracy will
drop out OF sight.
1t is said that there have been republic
can manifestations in different parts of
Servia, but, if so, they have been Of
little account. There could be no curer
way of bringing about foreign in
tervention than the proclamation Of
a Servian republic, and the Servans
are politically too intelligent and pa
triotic to desire that. The unforeseen
is, of course, always to be looked for
in such a crisis as Servia is passing
through, but the sagacity that has been
shown by the political leaders and the
order that appears to prevail through
out the country are Of good augury for
the future. King PETER will ascend
the throne amid popular approval and
with the prestige, that counts for so
much with the Servian race. Of being
allied by. marriage with the princey
family of Montenegro, the only indie
pendent survivor Of the Slavonic States
that perished at the time Of the Turkish
conquest. The sympathy Of America

The Improved Prospects OF tho Brit.
ish Liberal Party.

Scarcely twenty-four hours had elapsed
after the defeat of Mr.. CHAPLIN's protec-
zionist amendment to the budget in tho
House of Commons when Lord ROSE
Berry, speaking in London, announced
that he had been invited to reassume the
leadership of the Liberal party. He did
not say whether he would accept or reject
the offer, but intimated that his previous
experience of the leadership had not been
a pleasant one. This means, apparently,
that while many influential Liberals who,
hitherto, have declined to follow Mr.. AS
ou1TH and Sir EDWARD GREY into the
Rosebery camp, are now disposed to
look with favor on the eX-Premier,
satisfactory assurances of loyalty have
not, az vet, been received from Sir Will
LIAM HARcoURT 1t was Sir WILLIAM

RosEBERY to regard the Premiership as
anything but bed of roses. Although
no longer leading his party in the House.
that function having been assumed by
Sir HENRY CAMPBELL BANNERMAN, Sir
WILLIAM might still give great deal Of
trouble to n chief whom he regarded as
the usurper Of place to which he once
looked forward If he would but accept
a peerage, the way to a reunion Of the
Liberal party would be smoothed
In any event, Sir WILLIAM HARcoURT,
who seems to be the only serious obstacle
to consolidation Of the Liberals, will
have to renounce his antagonism to Lord
RosEBERY, or he will be left behind. The
bright chance of victory at the ballot-box
opened by Mr.. BALFoUR's retention Of
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN in the Cabinet-which
viewed in conjunction with Mr.. BAL
FouRs recent speeches, will be regarded
as a practical Endorsement Of Mr.. CHAM
BERLAIN's prote ctionist aims-has nat
urally had the effect of unifying the Lib
cral party. Instead of going to the coun-
try, AS they did at the last four general
elections, with an issue which, 80 far as
England was concerned, did not COM
mend them to the mass Of the voters, the
Liberals can now present an issue on
which they seem almost certain to sweep
large majority Of the constituencies in

HALIFAX, N. s.. juno 1s.-The expensive
experiment made by the Dominion Govern
