The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-06-12

Arsene. is now in Paris. The latter receiv- ed dispatch today advising him that his brother had been proclaimed King. Prince Arsene said he probably would join his brother and take part in the events connected with his assuming the sovereignty of Servia.
 Former Queen Natalie. mother of the late King Alexander. Is living at the Ho- tel Reservoir. Versailles. with her sister. Princess Ghika, wife of the Roumaniaif Minister. Queen Natalie received the first news from Belgrade this afternoon by telephone from the Foreign once. She immediately retired to her private apart ments, declining to see any, one except members of the family or intimate friends.
 During the afternoon the Servian lega- ton received an official dispatch in cipher, signed by a member of the new govern ment, which confirmed the deaths of the King and Queen and specially emphasized the fact that perfect quiet prevailed at Belgrade and throughout Servia. Foreign Minister Delcasse called at the Serv.an legation and presented the condolences of the French government. The legation Was besieged during the day by resident Ser vians.
 The presentation of any message of coincidence brought out the peculiar status of the present Servian government which is receiving condolences on the success of It's own acts.
 The tragedy at Belgrade was the uni versai theme for discussion in the lob bies of the Senate chamber and general horror or surprise were expressed at he unforeseen events, which, it is believed, will not have a serious effect on European politics.
 The Paris manager of one of the lead ing American life insurance companies taF he of the ciated Press that a number of efforts were made to insure the lives of the Servian sovereigns, but that the company de- clined to accept the risks, knowing of the dynastic intrigues. Similar efforts were made with another American company which also declined the applications One reason for the refusal was the persstency of the applications.
 A leading official of the company who visited Belgrade three weeks ago, said he was not surprised at the tragedies. During his visit he had formed the i'm pression that the then existing political situation could not last and that catas- trophe wa smminent. The King and Queen remained in the palace and did not dare to go out. An army officer informed the official that neither the army nor the police were obedient. When a crowd on one occasion gathered before the palace at Belgrade, the Kings order to disperse them was not executed. The universal sentiment of both high and low classes was antagonistic to the King and his con- sort and the Servians generally were anx- ious to rid the country of them at any cost.
 Public sentiment is intensely wrought up over the bloody event in Servia. Throughout the day the tragedy was dis cussed at the foreign office, in govern mental circles generally on the Bourse. at the clubs and in the cafes and public thoroughfares. As the details of the atrocity became known a feeling of in- dignation arose over the calm, systematic method of carrying out the murders.
 A few of the newspapers seemingly jus tif1ed the radical measures adopted against the late Queen Draga, holding her chiefly responsible, but the more se- rious papers. like The Temps and The Journal des Debats sound note of warn ing. The Des Debats particularly voiced the widespread feeling of indignation. saying there was No parallel for such drama except in the days of barbarian or among barbarians."
 The belief Is rapidly gaining ground here tha tthe new dynasty will have a dangerous task In attempting to over come the recollections of it's bloody en- trance into power. The Debats charac- terizes the dominant Servian element as "the party of regicdes'
