ALEXANDER AUTOCRAT.
SERVIAN KINGS ACTION.
Suspends Constitution IN Order to
Change Ld1Cs.

Belgrade, Servia, April liking Alexander
to-day issued two proclamations the first de-
creetng a suspension of the constitution, adopted
on April 10, 1901. repeating Objectionable laws
passed under its provisions, retiring the Sen
ators and the Councillors of State. dissolving
the Skupshtina. and re-enacting the laws as
they existed previous to the constitution of
1901. The second proclamation restores this
constitution to its former validity.
In the first proclamation the King says the
Senate and the Skupshtina. created under the
constitution, granted by him in 1901. passed
laws which proved impracticable. Furthermore
the constitution by tending to fan political
passions, prejudiced the interests of the faith
erland and hindered its development as a State
and nation.
Affairs in the Balkans. the King adds,
very serious. and Servia needs order. unity and
peace She ought to offer bright example Of
q peace loving State. and at the same time al
ways be ready to defend her own true interests
should this become necessary for the purpose
of restoring the unity. strength and order of
the country.
The King then suspends the constitution Of
1901 and declares the mandates Of the Senators
to be null and void. and the proclamation goes
on TO announce that the Councillors of State
are retired and that the Skupshtina is dis
solved. Several of the laws, including the Press
law, the Communal law and the act governing
the electoral system. are annulled and replaced
by laws previously existing.
Immediately after this proclamation ordf-
nances appointing new Senators and Councillors
of State were issued and the King issued
second proclamation. by which the const1tu-
ton of April 49, 1901, was restored to its fun
validity.
All the ministers, who resigned simultaneous
" with the suspension of the constitution
were reinstated. with the exception Of the FOR
eien Minister Lozanico who will be succeeded
bv NJ Denios Minister of Public Works.

which resulted. by & of PSI to DDS. in the
invalidation Of the election of the Nationalist
Deputy, NJ. Syveton, is almost certain to lead
to the reopening of the Dreyfus case, and per-
haps to the rehabilitation of the former pris-
oner of DEVILS Island This is mainly due to
two facts brought out by the Socialist leader.
NJ. Jaures. in the of the debate. One is
a falsifed document bearing alleged annotations
by the German Emperor which forgertes
and which helped convict Dreyfus. and the
other is that the letter written by General Pei
licux NJ Cavaignac when the latter was War
Minister in 1895, suppressed This letter
was written just after the discovery of Colonel
Henry's forgery, and reads as follows:
Duped by men without honor. unable any
longer to count on the confidence of my subor-
dinates, without which it is impossible TO COM
mand and on my side being unable to feel con-
fdence in those of my chiefs who have made me
work with forgeries, ask to be retired.
NJ Jaures's speech in the Chamber to-day con-
stantIy aroused the Nationalists to high pitch
of fury. the Chamber resounding with cries of
Traitor" Liar Go to Berln." and other
shouts drowning the speakers voice. NJ
Jaures concluded with the assertion that
the Republicans had the right TO condemn this
abominable campaign against the republic and to
that it's attitude to-day could not excuse its
evil deeds of yesterday If the Chamber fol-
Grated it. it would be a stigma OH its conscience
end the shame of the cOuntrys rule
NJ Jaures had hardly left the tribune before
the War Minister General Andre, plunged into
the bitter debate then proceeding. and an
nounced that the government vas ready to open
an administrative inquiry and aid in the widest
investigation of the truth regarding the Dreyfus
case General Andre declared that the honor of

not wish to take sides. and was ready to pro-

The remainder Of the debate was mainly
taken I'D by the former Minister of War. N.
Cavaignac. who attempted to explain the sup
pression OF General Pollieux's letter This gave
the Socialists an opportunity, of which they
fuIlv availed themselves, to adopt the tactics
Of the Nationalist and drown the speakers

After the invalidation of NJ. Syveton's election
had been voted, the debate continued on
the various orders of the day which were pro-
posed Finally one adopted by $50 votes to

Deriment but does not occasion any great surprise,

the move was effected partakes of the nature of a
comedy In the few-some say fve-minutes that

ests of all sections of the country. One
noticeable fact is the good condition OF
the buildings which cover the lumber,
which insures the best of protection
for this carefully selected stock, the
closest scrutiny of which will disclose
but very few pieces showing a blemish
or any sign of an inferior grade.
Among the varieties of lumber to be
found in these yards are specimens
from Southern California, Washington,
Michigan and our own state. To show
the magnitude of the investments in
lumber we might state that just one
shipment of red cedar shingles recent
ly received from California amounted
to over $500 and that like shipment
of short time ago cost nearly $500.
Among the fine grades of lumber are
the red wood produced in California.
This variety is stored in the sheds
south of the Office. Here are also the
porch posts and maple flooring. This
red wood is 20 feet long Is inches
wide and l to Ii inches thick. One
tree of this variety in California has
been known to cut 5000 feet. The
wood is OF rare variety and very
pretty. Above this shed is another
floor or deck, where the Western
spruce used for interior fnishings. is
stored. This is IA feet long and "a
inches wide and is as fine a grade of

In 1865 he received an honorable dis
charge from the service and returned
to the arts of peace in Wisconsin.
About 20 years ago he came to this
city and engaged in the lumber busi-

street, between Sixth and Seventh
streets. He continued there for
years when he sold out his stock.
About year later he entered into
partnership with Mr., NARROW at Ixonia
which business he still continues in
connection with the Watertown bust
ness. Mr.. Needham is living proof
that man of over SO years Is not nec-
essarily old. He will be 70 years OF

of the city. In fact since coming here
