KING PETER.

They are getting on at Belgrade. The grim
and ghastly comedy moves forward with the
brisk expedition which is the fruit of ample
preparation. The enactments of yesterday were
characteristic and comprehensive. First Of all,
the Senate and Skuptschina went TO church. We
are not informed of the nature of the service,
but may confidently assume it TO have been one
of thanksgiving and general jubilation. Next,
they adopted resolution of amnesty, relieving
the assassns of the late King and Queen OF all
anxiety concerning their precious necks Final
ly, they unanimously elected Peter Karageorge-
witch TO be King in place of the murdered Alex
ander That worthy has been waiting events
at Geneva, and expressing uncertainty as TO his
election and also as to his acceptance in case
of election, but he will now proceed to Belgrade
TO consult with his loyal subjects there and, if
their advice is favorable, to accept the crown
so Unexpectedly urged upon him. These things
have all been done and are being done, with
that preternatural gravity, not to say solemnity,
which is proverbially characteristic of boiled
owl. and which is often the most effective air
that can be assumed in a screaming farce. 1t
is all done just as though Peter Karageorge-
witch did not know in advance that his way to
the throne was TO be cleared by slaughter, and
Just as though it was not foregone conclu-
sion that the Senate and Skuptschina would
elect him King.
Peter is reported to have said the other day
that the Servian nation ought to punish the
assassns of the late King and Queen, and that
"a King who could receive a crown from the
hands OF assassns would be their accom-
'plice' No doubt he did say so. Those were
noble sentiments. But it does not appear that
the utterance of them barred Peters acceptance
of the Servian crown put him in jeopardy OF
inconsistency in so doing. Not at all. Did not
the Senate and Skuptschina decree amnesty for
the assassins before Offering him the crown? OF
course, assassins who have received amnesty
longer assassins. They are honest and
loyal subjects of the Servian crown. It would
be grossly improper now to tax them with hav-
ing done murder. 1t might even be libellous,
though we are not sufficiently conversant with
the Serrian libel laws 10 determine that point
But certainly nobody could have any CON-
FUNCTIONS against accepting crown from men
who have just received a clean bill of moral
health from the Parliament of their nation,
which Parliament itself had just been at church
enjoying the pious ministrations of the Arch
bishop of Belgrade.
Well there is no use in any one getting hot
over It. In other circumstances no fervor of
wrath at such blasphemous infamies could be
too great But why grow angry with Servians?
They know no better. They have not the slight
est conception of the hideousness of their con-
duct. There is no occasion even to be sur.
'prised at their deyiltries- They do these things
because as the old hymn writer said Of the

The latest sufferers from eccentricItles OF the
weather are Montana and Oregon, where de-
structive cloudbursts occurred on SUNDAY anu
Monday By far the most destructive OF these
storms was the one which visited the little
town of Heppner. Ore. The estimates OF the
number of people drowned there vary from one
hundred TO FIVE hundred, and the precise trnth

exceeds that which attended cloudbursts In
South Carolina ten days ago, or the tornado
which Ieveled several cotton mills in the Ylcln-
ity of Gainesville. Heppner had upward OF
twelve hundred inhabitants, being the largest
centre of population in Morrow County. 1t
was situated on stream which ordinarily was
harmless but which was swelled to upprece-
dented proportions by a phenomenal downpour
Cloudbursts are generated under the same
general conditions which produce thunder
showers and tornadoes hut they occur only in
mountainous districts. The manner in which
they are formed is not fully known, because
their origin is usually removed several miles
from human habitatfons- Unquestionably. how
ever an encounter between storm cloud and
rocky elevation causes a precipitation which
has no equal elsewhere. The discharge is al
most as copious and abrupt as the bursting of
a dam. From the steep slopes of the mountain
side the flow is rapid The most available path
is that of some previously existing creek or
river and this is utilized instantaneOuSly

GERMAN ELECTION PROSPECTS.

The German general election. which is to
take place to-day, is not expected to be at all
revolutionary or even startling in its results
There is hefore the people no proposal TO re
verse the traditional policy of the empire. such
as Mr. Chamberlain means 10 bring before the
British electorate one Of these days There is
no issue upon which the integrity of the empire
depends, as there was in England in Mr.. Glad
stones Home Rule campaign. The existence
of the empire is not at stake. as has been
that of the French Republic in more than one
election IN the last thirty years. Nevertheless.
there are important issues, and it is prob
able that the electoral results viii show tenden-
cies of prime moment TO the empire. and. in
deed. to all Europe
General attention is perhaps most fixed upon
the tariff issue That is what has most vexed
German domestic politics for the last year or
two 4 new tariff law has been formulated, but
it has not yet gone into effect. This election
will probably determine whether that law is 10
be put into effect and, if so, in what spirit Nor
IS that a wholly domestic matter. There are
the commercial treaties with other European
nations 10 be renewed, If they can be renewed
under the new tariff. These affect Germany's
relations with most of the world and they are
largely at stake in to-day's election. Without
venturing any prediction, ii may be said that
the Agrarian party, which is the champion Of
the highest possible tariff, has been gaining
ground and influence TO a marked degree, and
IN the present campaign has been particularly
active, aggressive and confident, and there is
general expectation that il will show consider
able gains at the polls and in the new Reichstag.
There are also the Socialists. Their party, in
spite of all repression and in spite of what
looks like gross injustice, has been gaining
ground more steadily and more rapidly than
any other, and in the last election polled con-
sidersbly more votes than any other party.
There is ample reason to expect that its gains
viii be continued in to-day's election. and that
II viii rank as by far the most numerous of all
parties at the polls and have a materially in
creased representation in the new Reichstag
That representation viii not. however be any
thing like proportionate 10 its popular strength,
because OF the injustice referred to- The Ger
man principle is that electoral districts shall
be about equal in population, so that each Dep
ufy shall represent the same number of voters
That was true when the present constitution
was adopted. But I'm these thirty odd years the
urban districts, which chiefly Socialist, have

PLINhITT AND NAGLE.

1t is rumored among local politicians that If
by any mischance Tammany should carry the
local election in November Plunkitt, the well
known dispenser of Wigwam patronage, whose
chief Office and headquarters are in the halls of
the County Court House. where he has been a
souatter for years without the least warrant Of
law or equity and where he summons his asso-
ciates for consultation, will be appointed Street
Cleaning Commissioner.
We're there no other reasons for opposing
Tammany, that alone would be sufficient. Our
street cleaning is admirably done at present.
Plunkitt at the head of the department would
accomplish no more than the Tammany district
leader Nagle accomplished; and everybody
knows that Nagles failure was complete.

No party ever has had such majority, but the
government has had to form for its OVID pur-
noses a composite majority of several parties

France has at times suffered much from siml-

tion of minor factions into two or three greaI
parties one of which shall have clear ma

States No such tendency is, however, percepl
ible in Germany, and it is probable that To-Day s
polling will fill the Reichstag with a dozen OF
more parties no one of which, and no TWO To-
gether, will have a majority of that body. Such
an assemblage is evidently not the most ehec-
tive for profitable legislation But IL serves

be right to suspend it here If one lndlVluuai
or firm complies with the ordinances no other
should be permitted to ignore them for an IN
definite period. In the present instance elther
hard coal should be used, or soft coal should De
burned in such a manner as TO avoid the emls-
sion of smoke.
To the many convincing proofs that this COM
munity already has that the latter alternative
is practicable fresh one was added last week
by Engineering News" In the columns Oh tnaI
periodical appears an address recently denV-
cred at the University of Illinois by PROFESSOR
L. P. Breckenridge on a special study of the art
of burning Illinois coal. This, he points ouf con-
tans a larger percentage of volatile material
than the semi -bituminouS coal of pennsylvania,
and consequently presents greater embarrass-
ments These problems have been solved, how
ever: and it is self-evident that if satisfactory
results can be had with Western soft coal, they
are equally attanabe with any other fuel In
which there is not larger proportion or vola-
tile substances.
Professor Breckenridge considers two con-
tingencies-the designing of new plants and the
utilization of existing facilities. For the former
he recommends automatic stokers, uniformity
in the size of the coal, provision for strong
draught, and the introduction of enough boilers
and furnaces to permit the occasional laying OIL
of one or more units for repairs. Where no I'M
portant change is to be made in the installation
extra care in firing will quickly reduce the
smoke to an almost imperceptible minimum.
Again, by means of steam jets completeness of
combustion may be promoted. The latter plan
involves the consumption of a little mere fuel,
and sometimes is attended with objectiona BILE
noise For small plants, though, it is deemed
the simplest and most effective remedy Where
there's will there's a way" the proverb says.
According TO the Chicago expert there are sew
eral ways out of the predicament in which New
York smoke producers find themselves. If the
latter adopt none of these it would seem to be
their own fault
