A NEW KING
FOR SERVIA
The Servian Senate and Skups-
htina Unanimously Elect
Him as New Ruler.
KING ANNOUNCES
HIS ACCEPTANCE
Town is Remarkably Quit and
People Apparently Very
UnCOnCerned.

Semlin, Hungary, June Is. - The
skupshtina and senate of Servia met
in joint session precisely at noon Mon
day and within Is minutes had elected
Prince Peter Karageorgevitcha as king
OF Servia. :
Long conferences were held be-
tween the ministers and deputies on
Sunday night and all Monday morning.
These resulted in a cut and dried pro-
gramme which went through without a
hitch.
The parliamentary gathering was
held in the white and gold ballroom in
the new wing of the palace within a
few yards of the spot where King Alex
ander and Queen Draga's bodies were
thrown from the window. Not the
slightest referencewas made to Wednes-
days tragedy The ministers of the
provisional government sat at a table
al the top of the hall, the prominent
figure among them being the chief of
the conspirators, Col. Machin, Queen
ORA ga s brother--in-law, who was re-
splendent in his full army uniform.
The members of the skupshtina and
senate entered the hall and took their
seats informally.
President Velimirovitcs rose imme-
diately and began speaking amid
breathless silence. He said the ma
tional assembly had met to elect a king
of the fatherland, having already
agreed upon the principles of the new
constitution.

Gen, McCOok Buried.

Dayton, O., June 15.-Extreme sim.
plicity marked the funeral services
over the remains of the late Gen. Al
exander Mcdowell McCook, at the res.
idence of his daughter, Mrs. Charles
A. Craighead, Monday morning. There
were present only members of the fam
lily, close friends and members of the
Loyal Legion. The service by Rev
Maurice E. Wilson, of the First Pres.
byterian church, consisted of reading
Scripture lessons, prayer and appro-
pirate hymns. This was in accordance
with the wishes of Gen. McCook, who
although military man, was in pri-
vate most modest, and did not desire
display. The remains were taken to
Spring Grove cemetery, Cincinnati, for
interment.

King Is Elected.

Immediately the whole assemblage
rose and shouted: Long live Kara
georgeyitch" The roll call followed,
each member rising quietly inhis place
and saying: "Peter Karageorge-
witch"
There were no dissentient votes
and the proceedings closed with brief
speechesde delivered by the president and
premier, congratulat ting the assembly
upon it's days work, which, it was
hoped, foreboded better days for Ser
via.
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 dose.
The inha bitants of Belgrade were re-
markedly quiet and apparently uncon-
cerned. The cafes were filed with peo-
pie reading the newspapers and play
ing cards or chess, the shops were open
and there was little to indicate that
the nation has been engaged in the
election of a new sovereign.
The new constitution closely follows
that of 1888, and is even more demo
cratic. 1t is describedas making Servia
virtually republic with the king at
its head

Railroads Resumfng,

st. Louis, June 15.-The river has so
far receded that several of the eastern
roads that have been cut off from st.
Louis since Monday last are now enter
ing Union station, and it is expected
that the others will also be enabled to
do so, either over their own tracks or
the rails of competitors, by Tuesday or
Wednesday. Monday mornings read
ing of the official gauge showed stage
of 35.3 feet, decline of 1.3 fset during
the past "a hours. Continued dry
weather and falling rivers above lead
the weather officials to predict a steady
decline from now on until normal con-
ditions are reached. The Baltimore &c
Ohio Southwestern, Vandalia and
that, have resumed passenger service
from Union station. The Vandalia was
the first to do so, it's fast New York
train departing over Eads bridge Sun
day. The Illinois Central attempted
Sunday to run a train from this side,
but it was stalled at the Relay station,
East ST. Louis, by high water. Service
to the west and over the other eastern
roads is about the same as for several
days past.
1t is expected that the railroads will
be able to resume shipments to the ma
tional stockyards, East st. Louis, by

New King Accepts Throne.

Geneva, June 15.-Prince Peter Kara
georgevitch has telegraphed his ac-
ceptance of the Servian throne. King
Peter also telegraphed to the emper
ors of Russia and Austria and to the
king of Italy, announcing his election
and adding that he hoped to work for
the good of Servia.

Will Recognize New King.

Paris, June 15.-It is said in official
quarters that official action between
the powers regarding their attitude
towards Servia has now eventuated in
an agreement that the ministers of the
various powers shall remain at Bel
grade in order to look after the cur
rent interests of their governments,
each minister receiving practically
Identical instructions to recognize the
decision of the Servian parliament, if
the latter has full liberty of action
during the choice of king.
The agreement to retain the minis
tiers at Belgrade appears to have met
with strong objections on the part of
some of the powers.
The British government first made
known its desire to withdraw the Brit
ish minister from Belgrade, but later
concurred with the other powers. The
ministers. however, will not be con-
sidered to have relations with the
present Servian regime until the par
lament at Belgrade freely expresses
its will
The French foreign Office considered
that the skupshtina's selection of
Prince Peter Karageorgevitch as king
was practically certain, SO the agree
ment of the powers to accept the de-
cision of the skupshtina appears to as
sure in advance the powers recogni-
ton of King Peter. The officials say
the agreement did not include any con-
ditions relating to the punishment of
the parties responsible for the assas-
sinations. AZ

London, June 15.-The Servian min
lister in London Monday afternoon re-
ceived official notification of the cleo
ton of King Peter. The telegram was
signed by NJ. Kalievics, foreign minis
ter in the provisional cabinet, and said:
1.-The skupshtina and senate, meeting
together in joint congress, unanimous
ly proclaimed Peter Karageorgevitch
king of Servia.'
The telegram instructed the minis
ter to announce the fact to the British
foreign office. The officials said that
before taking definite action they
would await King Peters assumption
of the throne and the constitution of
the new cabinet. 1t was frankly add
ed that if the new kings cabinet in

sinations it would be impossible for
