STORY OF THE ASSASSINATION
AS TOLD BY THE ARMY OFFICERS

Belgrade, June 13.-Following is a
narrative of the revolution by men who
took an active part in 1t:
Army officers to the number of
ninety having formed the PROJECT of a
revolt, among them being delegates
from almost every garrison in Servia,
and a majority of the officers of the
Sixth regiment. Lieutenant Colonel
MI,schich invited his comrades We'd
nesday evening at IL O'Clock to meet in
the kalimagden garden and there the
immediate carrying t,of the intended
deed was organized.
AT lao a. m the officers, in eight
groups. went to Konak, the royal pal
ace. Each had cue, and especial di-
rections regarding his part. In the
Konak palace the revolutionaries had
two important partisans in the kings
bodyguard-Colonel Alexander Masch-
in, Queen Dragas cousin, not brother
in-law, and the Kings personal ad-
jutant, Lieut.. Naumokis. Two officers
of the High Military Academy ap-
peared at the appointed hour-2 a. IN.
at the gate of the Konak. where the
kings adjutant. Panajotvic, who was
in the conspiracy, handed to them the
keys to the garden gate, which is al
ways kept locked. First, stepping be-
fore the guards of the Konak, one of
tho two officers called, Throw down
your arms"
A fight ensued, with shots from both
sides, in which several persons were
wounded.
In breathless haste the conspirators
ran through the rooms, opened ward
robes and looked behind curtains in
vain. In the anteroom connecting with
the corridor between the old and new
Konak, the sergeant of the gendarmes
was stopping. Awakening, he stepped
before the revolutionists. who felled
him.
At last Queen Draga's servant was
found. He wounded Captain Dimitre-

GREAT VALUE OF TIME.
Eager and Costly Search for one-six
teenth CT Second.

If one grain of sand on the shore OF
the ocean were lost and scientists were
to spend years in trying to find it they
would be attempting task resembling
that to which the leading astronomers
of England and France are now devot-
ing themselves. says London cable
gram to the Chicago Chronicle. One
sixteenth of second is missing and
no one can tell where it has gone. Be-
tween the suns time as recorded at
Greenwich and as understood at Paris
there is that brief and seemingly unim-
portant discrepancy.
No expense is being spared to trace
the missing fraction. A special build
ing has been erected at Paris, costly
instruments installed, a corps of math-
ematicians engaged and a process
that may take years to complete
has been commenced. The inaccuracy
is more important than will appear to
the lay mind. Longitude is calculated
on the basis of Greenwich time. 1t de-
termines the boundaries of many coun-
tries. A slight variation of time may
change the nationality of thousands of
people. The pursuit of the missing frac-
tion of second is therefore of world
wide importance. When it is found
not grain of the sands OF time will be
missing.

London Police System.

Josiah Flynt, whose studies of the
under world" are so well known, has
been devoting attention to the police
system OF London, England. The
most striking facts. from the American
point OF view, that his observations re-
veal are: /. That the force is com
posed mainly of honest and conscien-
tious men. 2. That politics is not al
lowed TO play any part in the manage
ment and direction of the organization.
3. That London is one of the safest
cities in the world. AS to police cor
ruption in London there is very little
to report. Mr.. Flint found no corrup-
ton which could be compared with the
blackmailing system for which the
New York police have been SO long
notorious. Gambling is punished
speedily

viii Not Seek the Throne.

Vienna. June 13-Prince Alexis Ksr-
ageorgevitch. nephew of the newly
proclaimed King of Servia. who has
himself been pretender to the throne,
during the course of an interview here
to-day, announced that he had .aban-
doned all claim thereto and welcomed
the advent of his uncle as the hest So
luton. " -'7s.
The prince, like other well informed
persons, attributes the revolution to
dissatisfaction at the late King Alex
ander's marriage to Draga. and the
Kings hostility to the Radicals.

vic severely. but was spared because
he was needed in finding the fleeing
couple. Indeed, this servant showed
the officers where Alexander and
Queen Draga had gone TO secrete
themselves. When he had told this he
was shot
Colonel Maschin then joined the rev.
olutionists and led them back to the
sleeping apartment. where the kings
adjutant tried to hinder the march. He
shot Lieutenant Naumokis, who fell
dead. The others killed the adiutant.
After a long search small door
leading into the alcove was discovered,
but it was found locked 1t was broken
in with an axe, and here the royal
couple were found in undrcss.
The older officers first intended fore
ing the king to abdicate, but the young
officers shot the royal couple, Nobody
knows who shot first, but 1t is said it
was Lieutenant Kistics.
After the murder. King AleNanders
body was found entirely covered with
blood. That of Queen Draga was badly
torn by bullets. The report that the
bodies we're thrown out of the window
into the garden is untrue The young
officers intended to do so, but Colonel
Maschin prevented It. eXclaiming:
That would be barbarous.'
All the servants of the royal couple
fed when the first shot was heard ex-
cept Queen Draga's servant who was
found dead. At twelve minutes past 2
o'clock, all was over.
Colonel Maschin issued from the gate
of the Konak. around which crowds
had collected. and made speech. say
ing:
1--WE have now destroyed the dy-
nasty of the Obrenovitch, and have got
rid of the dishonorable woman who
was the kings evil spirit. Long live
Servia.
The people responded:
Long live the army!

there now be any need of the Fowler bill,
