He issued two proclamations, the hrst
suspending the constitution adopted April

hereunder by retiring the senators and
councillors Of state, dissolving the skupsh-
tina and re-enacting the laws as they ex-
listed previous to the constitution Of 1901.
The second proclamation restored the con-

experiment, but does not occasion any
great surprise, as the kings desire to curb
The power OF the radicals has long been
manifest.
The manner In which the coup d'etet
was effected partakes Of the nature of a
comedy. During the few minutes that the
constitution was suspended King Alex
ander was an absolute monarch. These
moments suficed him to dissolve the
skupshtina and abolish half a dozen laws
which, he said, undermined the authority
Of the crown. The obnoxious laws relate
chiefly to the suffrage and will be replaced
by measures calculated to render the cleo
ton Of the radicals extremely dif1cult
The press law of 1901 gives place to the
more stringent measure enacted in 1882.
