BELGRADE. Servia, June A.-King Peter
arrived from Vienna at 10 o'clock this MORN
ing. Great crowds we're at the station to
meet him and cheered him enthusiastically.
Premier Avakumovits presented the Rus
sian Minister to the King and the Russian
Minister in turn presented his Austrian
colleague
The King proceeded to the cathedral upon
the conclusion Of the reception at the railway
station.
After the mass, which was attended
with all the splendor Of the Eastern Church.
the King drove in state to the royal palace.
The reception Of King Peter was re-
markable for the number and gorgeousness
Of the Generals. the tawdry military uni
forms and the obvious poverty Of the
peasantry. who formed the civilian part
Of the onlookers. They and the towns
people stood by coldly. while the military
started spasmodic cheering to welcome
his Majesty. The new King looks like an
old man. He has lean, sharp, swarthy
features OF a distinctly Servian type. He
wore a gaudy uniform similar TO that Of
his Generals.
His Majesty read from a typewriter
paper his reply to the Prime Minister'S
welcome. He expressed no regret for
what had happened or Measure at enter
ing Belgrade. He merely made q cold and
formal statement that he intended to rule
by constitutional methods. and concluded
by saying: with Gods help, shall give
you peace and prosperity
Upon the conclusion OF his address he
shook hands with the Ministers and Colonels
Misohits and Masohin. the chief oonspira-
tors against King Alexander. and Col.
Gentschics, who saw King Alexander
married. Then the ladies Of the Ministers
families offered him bread and salt. The
King afterward entered a State carriage
with the Prime Minister. and drove to the
Cathedral, where ladies Of honor, consist
ing OF the prettiest girls Of Belgrade. re-
ceived him.
They were somewhat saddened by the
fact that he brought none Of the members
OF his family with him. He evidently
means to look over the field himself be-
fore trusting them. His Majesty knelt
before the altar while the old Metropolitan
told the people that it was Gods will that
everything happened as 1t had.
Later in the day King Peter had to re-
peatedly reappear to respond to the ap-
plause Of the crowds before the new Konak
The enthusiasm Of the people seemed to
grow more genuine at the sight Of the new
monarch.
In his reply to the Prime Minister'S ad-
dress at the railway station the King said
that his soul was filled with gratitude to
God and consciousness Of the duties that
awaited him as King.
He then expressed his thanks to tho
Ministers for having fulfilled their duties
toward the fatherland as the interests Of
the country demanded. He was happy
to renew his expression of deepest gratitude
to them, and to express the royal recogni-
ton Of their services.
