 Some republican tendencies are no- hceable among the students who have studied in France and Switzerland These latter however, are quite over- shadewed by the opinion of the ma 1 jor1ty, and there seems to be no doubt 1 that the national assembly will pro- nounce today in favor of a monarchy and elect Prince Karageorgevitch. The newspapers continue to point out the irnpossibility of the establishment of republic and advocate the election of Prince Karageorgevitch in order. to o h1.io sr, politics.

 Peter Velimirovitch, one of the old est and most prominent members of the Radical party and former minis ter of state, has been appointed presi- dent of the senate in succession to M. Marinkovitch, who has resigned. M. Velimirovitch will take the chair at the joint meeting of the senate and the skupshttna today on the occasion of the election of the new king.
 After the election of the king the skupshtina will draw up programme of procedure for the new sovereign and will then adjourn until the arrival of the king at Belgrade. The sovereign will then form a new ministry and dis solve the skupshtina.
 The provisional government has par doned all persons imprisoned for po- iitical and press ofeenses and ordered their immediate release. No arrests have occurred, nor have any sentences been passed since the royal tragedy.
 Prince Karageorgevitch, although lit tie is known of him among the people generally here, seems to have caught the public fancy, and his election will evidently be a popular one.
 Queen Natalie has telegraphed in- quiFing whether she will be permitted to come to Servia and visit her sons gSave.
 Lieutenant Colonel Milislav Zivano- vics of the general staff has committed suicide by shooting himself. It is un- derstood that the officer took his life because among the late kings papers was found letter from Mvanovics in- forming him of the plot against his life
 Prince Karageorgevitch will remain at Geneva until notified of the action taken by the skupshtina.
 The princess cousin, Nanatomtch, is expected in Geneva from Belgrade. It is believed that he is the secret leader of the Karageorgevitch movement in Servia. He was imprisoned during the lifetime of King Milan for an attempt to assassinate that monarch.
