Minister of Commerce Genshics. in an in
terview said he considered that II there
was any republican tendency in the cabi-
net It was insurgent The election of
ruler, he thought could not occur before
Tuesday, but It was almost certain Prince
Peter Karageorgevitch would be elected.

whatever.
Alexander Constantly ErrinG.
NJ Genshics was reticent as to the events
| at the palace early on Thursday morning.
He did not consider It expedient to publish
an official account of what had transpired
until matters had settled down. The min
lister added that since his accession the
late King Alexander committed constant
errors and lost his hold on the public by
| his marriage TO Queen Draga and the
comedy played In connection with the
| preparations for the birth of an alleged
| heir.
The coup de'etat was fixed for June II
because on that day Queen Draga wished
| to proclaim her brother, Nikodem, heir to
| the throne.
NJ. Genshics concluded with endorsing
| Prince Peter as an honorable man and
earnest well wisher OF Servia.
The chief interest centers In the ap-
preaching session OF the skupshtna. The
election of Prince Peter as king of Servia
is regarded as certain, although Prince
Mirko of Montenegro may have some votes.
Here and there republican tendency is
noticeable
Notices have been placarded on the walls
of Belgrade enjoining the people TO OBJ
serve the laws and reminding them that
meetings of any kind on the day preced-
ing the assembling of the Skupshtina. or
during It's session, are strictly prohibited.
Mingled with the satisfaction felt at the
success of the coup detat there is some
sense OF depression and anxiety at the
possibility of foreign Intervention.
The war minister has issued a decree
dsmissing several military commanders
and appointing successors to their posts.
