ity elected Prince Peter Karageorge-
witch king of Servia and had notified
him by telegraph of the fact.
Directly afterwards the soldiers out
side took the oath of allegiance to the
new king, the late Queen Draga's regi-
ment being the first to do so.
The new constitution closely follows
that Of 1858, and is even more demo-
cratic. 1t is described as making Servia
virtually republic with the king at
its head.
The resolutions adopted by the ma
tional assembly at Mondays session
have practically granted immunity to
all concerned in the coup d'etat. The
attitude of the army has been recog-
nized and approved, and gratitude has
been extended to the government for
the patriotism displayed in such fatal
crisis. All government measures have
been indOrsed.

THE TULLOCH CHARGES.
Postmaster General Makes Public
Bristow's RepIy-Some Sensa-
tiOnaI Statements.

Washington, June 1S.-Postmaste
General Payne has made public the re-
ply of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow to the charges Of
Seymour w. Tulloch, former cashier
Of the Washington city post office, re-
garding the irregularities in the postal
administration and also reports of in
spection and investigation of the
Washington post office by inspectors
between June 80, 1899, and July 81,
1900, together with the transcript of
the THlloch charges made some years
ago and the conclusions thereon then
reached by Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith. These papers
constitute by far the most significant
documents yet made public as result
of the sweeping postal investigation.
The reports show the existence of
many irregularities during the period
involved.
In a summary of the several reports
the postmaster general says: 'The
charge of Mr. Tulloch is, in its essence,
against President Mckinley and Post
master General Smith. President Nc
Kinley is no longer living; Postmaster
General Smith, who carried out Presi-
dent McKinley's policy, has answered
for himself. With regard to the pres
ent management of the Washington
post Office and the conduct of any and
all men charged with wrongdoing who
have been in the postal service under
the present administration. a thorough
and searching investigation is now be-
ing made and when it is ended all the
facts in the case will be made public.
as also whatever action may be taken
in view of such facts"
Washington, June 1S.-As result of
alleged indiscretion in matters per-
tanning to the award of contracts for
printing the money order forms of the
government. James T. Metcalf for
many years superintendent of the
money order system of the post Office
department, was on Wednesday re-
moved from office by the postmaster
general. A full investigation Of the
case will be made later.

WILL NOT STRIKE.
Miners and Operators in Anthrac e
Coal Region Reach an
Agreement.

Scranton Pa. June 17.-There will be
no strike in the anthracite region
growing out Of the refusal of the oper-
ators to recognize the credentials of
District Presidents Nichols, Fahy and
Dettrey, instructed by the joint eXecu-
tive board of the United Mine Work
ers as the miners representatives on
the board of Cancellation. The con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
on Tuesday elected the three district
presidents by districts as their repre-
sentatives and the operators, through
President George F. Baer, of the Read
ing company, announced that this ac-
ton was satisfactory.
In answer to an inquiry by one of the
delegates, President Mitchell stated
that no increase had been forthcom-
ing for May, under the provisions of
the sliding scale, because the average
price" of coal had not advanced to
"a 55, although the circular price was
$500. He had seen the figures, he said,
and presumed they were correct. The
average price had only gone up to s452
The June price, he thought, would
reach $4.62, and the miners would have
a two per cent. increase coming to
them

TWO DESPERADOES KILLED.
One Slain After Desperate Battle
While Trying to Escape and
Other Is Lynched.

Hardee, the condemned murderer,
who, with three other prisoners, es-

weeks ago, after killing one guard and
beating almost to death two others, was

the Bad Lands, rs miles from this city,
after a desperate battle with the
posse under Sheriff Gosner. Charles
r. Hill. one Of the posse, received
wounds from which he died in short
time. Fred Mckinney, Hardee's out
law companion, succeeded in escaping
after the battle, but his capture is be-
iieved to be certain.

building owned by Capt. E. j. Even
the principal witness against Jet and
White, now on trial there for the as
sassinat ton of Lawyer j. B. Marcum.
was burned to the ground early Sun
day morning. There were Is guests in
the hotel, but all escaped without in
jury. There was no insurance on the
structure and the hotel, together with
its furnishings and the effects of the
guests, is a total loss. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but the belief is
general that the fire was of incendiary
origin. Capt. Even had recently put
up an addition to the hotel. This was
just completed and was as yet unoccu-
pied.
The hotel and furniture had been
insured, but only week ago Capt.
Even was notified that on account of
threatening conditions, the company
had decided to cancel his policy The
house and fixtures were valued at
about $4,000.

papers throughout Kentucky have
started a movement to reimburse B.

scription for his loss of $4,000 sus-
tanned through the burning of his
hotel by incendiaries. The general
belief that Even is suffering for do

of strange places and he has finally
gathered everything he has bought in
one big collection in London-there to
await the time when he can bring the
whole, lot to the United States and de-
vote it to the service of the public.
The obstacle in the way just now is
the high duty on work Of art, the
owners of which are expected by the
Dingley tariff to pay handsomely for
the privilege of bringing their luxuries
into the United States. If he should
bring his whole collection in now and
pay duty on it the cost would be nearly
doubled before the goods were un-
packed in New York. But a way ont
has been suggested by an ingenious
body who is anxious to see this museum
established in Washington. 1t is pro-
posed to admit the priceless collection
Under the defnation ''household eff
fects" without paying any duty at all
just as if it consisted of pokers,
tongs and kitchen utensils. 1t is de-
clared that this would be quite within
the law, otherwise congress will be
asked next winter to pass special act
suspending the tariff in this particular
case on the ground that such suspen-
sion is for the public good.

to enable the deaf to hear, those two
discoveries must yield preference to
the man who transforms the air into
medium of transportation and COM
xnerce, overcomes the limitations OF
ygravityand enables men to fly.
It has been known among Prof Bells
friends in Washington that for several
years he has been working on the prob
lem of the flying machine. Hehas SAID
little about it even among his fntl-
mates; for he knows better than most
men how to keep his own counsel.
With the spirit of a true scientist he
mas been experimenting at his north
ern summer home with kites Of differ
emit plan and shape until he has at last
discovered form which he is confident
will work. The striking thing about it
IS that starting out with the ordinary
form of boys toy kite composed of
two cross bars and experimenting sue
cessively with box kites and oriental
devices he has, through mathematical
calculations as to lifting and motive
power and stability, hit upon device
which exactly resembles the outspread
wings of bird. This kite, with it's
four triangular sides in the shape of
a tetrahedron, he finds can be COM
bined almost indefinitely with kites of
similar shape and size until together
they form mammoth kite, the weight
of which in relation to the wing sur
face is such that one of them is capa-
BILE of moving through the air in
breeze no stronger than is needed for
boys toy. Such a flying machine
Prof. Bell believes can carry sufficient
anotive power together with human
freight without weighing itself down.
lie believes that under the guidance of
a helm it can be made to rise and glide
and gently fall without regard to the
direction of the wind-providing
means Of rapid transit swifter than a
railroad or steamboat, and more Sc
cure.

but he has in addition-what WI
lacked-nob1e birth and aristocratic
training. He has also-what WI
1aeked-an American education;
though IS is hard to see how even
with this advantage he can hope to
excel the late minister in delicate ap-
probation of American traditions
and habits of thought.
Chen-tung is only 40 years old, but
he has seven children, three of whom
are now in Washington with him.
His wife died two years ago, and his
mother superintends the household
quite after the fashion of Ameri-
Gan widowers.
He has weathered one little dip
1omatic squall already. He was
sChina's special ambassador at the
queens jubilee in London, and Vic
toria knighted him. 1t pleases him
to use the prefix "Sir," which she be-
slowed upon him, and so he is en-
tered in the diplomatic list. Some Of
the other diplomats objected on the
ground that this was not according
to precedent, as "Sir" was not a
title of his own government, but the
Chinese knight kept his lance poised,
and he has won.
