Ignores Leopold.

It viii have been noticed that the
King and Queen of italy returned from
England to their dominions without ac-
cepting King LeOpOId's pressing invita-

dispatches from Brussels announced
they were to stay there on their way
back 10 italy, i expressed my doubts
as 10 the authenticity Of the news. King
Leopold having subjected. a year OF 50

anr0nt of visiting Rome and calling at
the Vatican upon Leo XIII without &C
cording any recognition 10 the reigniug

In order that there may be no mIstaLe

King and Queen OF italy TO decline King
L.eOpold's invitation. Ii is announced in
the government press Of Italy that il
was impossible for King Victor En-

SERVIA'S KING WANTS
ENGLAND'S FRIENDSHIP
Appeals to Car to Have Diplomatic
Relations Restored-RecOgnized
by United States.

BELGRADE. Dec At is reported
that King Peter has requested the SER
vices Of the Car TO restore diplomatic
relations between Servia and England.
The immediate cause of this is said
to be the refusal Of the British charge
d affaires at Belgrade to receive the
congratulations Of King Peters court
on the occasion Of King Edwards birth
day. This attitude was due to the
declaration of the British government
declining 10 maintain diplomatic rela-
tons with Servia after the murder of
King Alexander and Queen Draga.
According TO announcements here the
late Queen Draga left property worth
S115O00. Her three sisters. who have
been recognized as her heirs, are try
ing to obtain an indemnity for property,
consisting chiefly of jewelry. stolen on
the night of the murder. The minister
of war has instituted an inquiry. with
the result that some of the stolen arti-
cles have been recovered.
King Peter Of Servia win be recog-
nized by the United States. John b.

tials as minister Of the United States

scented at the Servian court. Mr.. Jack

senator Parks Bill Will BE FierceIy
Fought by Them.

The last bill introduced in the Senate yes
terday, No. AZ. by Senator Parks. of
Marshall county. is one that is liable to
create more excitement around the Hobbies
of the Senate than almost any measure in
troduced in that body during the day. II
is a bill that provides that the state treas
urer and county treasurers shall deposit
public funds in banks selected for the pur-
pose. the funds to draw interest at not less
than per cent.
The result in case the bill should pass
would be that instead of county treasurers
enjoying the interest of public funds the
interest accruing would have to be turned
over to the counties and in the case OF the
State TO the State treasury. 1t is expected
that almost every county treasurer in the
State will make personal appeal to the
senator's to kill the bill, and that banks
generally will fight 1t desperately. While
IL is urged on the one hand that interest
on public money should go rightfully 10 the
county, 1t is pointed out on the other that
since county treasurers have TO assume
the responsibility of getting very heavy
bonds and the constant liability of loss
they should. therefore. enjoy the interest
arising from deposits of county money
Ii happens that the county treasurer of
Marshall county Is one with peculiarly ad-
vanced ideas on that very proposition.
After being In Office one year he found that
the interest arising from money he had on
deposit amounted To several hundred dol
lars. He drew II out and promptly placed

il to the credit of Marshall county. saying
that ii belonged to the county Justly ana
not 10 him. The result was that his salary
amounted to about 1900, but he stated with
almost Spartan resolution that $l,WO was
enough for any man and il satisfied him.
Senator Parks, IL is believed, thinks that
IL the treasurer of Marshall county can
do that every other county treasurer can
do the same thing.
But there a divergence of opinion arises.
Other treasurers come TO the front with
the statement that their election expenses
are much greater than those of the treas
urer of Marshall, and, more than tnat,
their responsibility is much greater. IL
they had to depend upon the mere salary
allowed by law, they say, they would nave
hardly more than enough to pay their once
force. While it is not strictly legal, per-
haps, they make the contention that they
are really entitled to the interest which
comes from depositing public money In
banks since they assume the Liability or
loss.
Last night in the Denison Hotel oliver p.
Ensley, treasurer-elect of Marion county,
was discussing the bill with a few of his
friends. Mr.. Ensley believes that the bill
is pernicious, while on the surface IL looks
like a bit of excellent reform. Unless pro-
vision should be made, he thinks, to in
crease the salary OF treasurers such bill
as the one introduced by Senator Parks
should fail. In addition to the heavy ex-
pense of office employees. which must be
paid out of his salary of $l1 600, the onerous
election expenses must be borne in mind
he believes, and while ii might be argued
that election expenses are no concern OF
the county, yet he thinks that they must
be taken into consideration until the mil
lennium arrives or until election customs
radically changed.
The opinion expressed by senators who
have discussed the proposition Is that there
will be merry fight, but so much opposi-
ton will be brought to bear on the bill that
IL will fail.
