SOMETHING ABOUT DRAeA
Her Advent at the court Resulted In Many
Il Troubles

Belgrade, June 12.-Draga, whom King
Alexander married in 1900, was the widow
of a Servian officer and was twelve years
older than the king. She was introduced
at the court by King Milan and Queen
Natalie took such a liking to her that she
made her a dy-in-waiting.
Z She was well educated, an accomplished
linguist and well known for her wit and
social diplomacy. King Alexander's lik-
ing for Mrs. Maschin was we'll known for
a long time in court circles but the an
nouncement of his betrothal to her in 1900
came as a great sensation The Servian
ministry declared the proposed marriage
preposterous and menace to the state
and promptly resigned.
Ex-King Milan heard the news in Carls-
bad and Immediately resigned his post
as commander in-chief of the army He
also started at once for Belgrade, but the
young king showed his spirit and ssent an
officer to the frontier to prevent his
fathers return. He also organized new
ministry.
King Alexander paid no attention to OBJ.
position and married Nine. Maschin ir
Belgrade on Aug. S, 1900. Tho the mar.
riage had been violently opposed by off.
Gals Of the government, the people an.
parently had no objection and heartily
cheered the bridal party. The king tool
the precaution, however, to line the
streets with troops.
The marriage Of King Alexander anc
Queen Drega led to many0 scandals ant
quarrels in the royal household. For &
while the domestic affairs of the kins
dropped from public attention until earl,
in 1901 it was rumored that an heir wa:
| expected to the Servian throne In Ma,
| Of the same year it was announced tina
| the report was without foundation. Thi.
was a scandal and the queen was ac
| cused Of wilful deception. 1t was alst
| said that she had attempted to foist upor
the country bogus heir, but this wa.
officially denied.
It was said that the king was furiou.
with his wife and public opinion was di
| vided as to whether she had attempted
| to dupe the king. It was also said that tn,
| king intended to apply to the holy SYNOD
\ for a divorce, but he did nothing, and tn,
| scandal was forgotten.
| There have also been numerous storie
| Of quarrels between King Alexander ant
| Queen Draga in which the queen as
/ saulted the king and acted scandalousl,
before the courtiers.
Foreign dispatches have said that tn
4 king, after q quarrel once stopped TIN
| queens pin money, for which she boxe,
! his ears in the presence Of the court, an,
| accused him Of a liason with her siste

/ gave rise to many rumors that she ha,

Appeal Against |. c. G. Ruling Upheld
by the Courts.

~
New York, June 12.-Judge Lacombe
to-day handed down a decision in the
matter of the appeal of the oalcarry-
ing railroads against the ruling Of the
Interstate commerce commission. The
coal roads win on every point. The ques-
ton at issue was the admissibility as evil
dence of the coal-carrying contracts be-
tween the roads and the coal companies.
In his opinion Judge Lacombe sustains
the position of the railway companies in
every particular except in one instance.
President Baer of the Reading is di-
rected to answer certain questions re-
garding the details of general expense.
Judge Laconbe holds as reason for this
that documents regarding the items of
expense were already in evidence. He
holds that any contract referring to coal
transportation alone should be produced
but no such contracts were called for

Baltimore, Md. June 12.-Judge Peter

"What is the best and most feasible
solution of the trust question:"
THE stupendous profits derived from a
few conspicuous monopolies by their own
ers have excited greedy emulation In al
most every line of industry and trade. The
corporations should be forced to organize
and to capitalize honestly. The federal
government then should use one Of its de-
partments as a sort Of trustee for the
small stockholders to look after their in
terests and to protect their investments. u

THE BRUTAL TRUST

How the Government Proposes to Flight
RockerfeIIerIzation Of Mexico. "
New York Sun Special Service.
Mexico City, June lei Impartial
publishes an article which is attracting
much attention as developing the policy
Of the federal government towards rail-
ways. It deals especially with the gov
ernment's recent purchase Of a controlling
interest in the Mexican National railway
in order to prevent railroads having I'M
due power in the nation In conjunction
with its control Of the Interoceanic rail-
way these two lines, extending from the
Rio Grande to the Gulf Of Mexico at Vera
Cruz, become a part of one great unified
system.
Ell Impartial declares that trusts are
the brutal concentrators of capital against
the immense legion of the defenseless.'
1t says the Standard Oil Company, which
1T asserts now owns the Mexican Central
system, has assured it's continued pre-
dominance In the United States by the
acquisition of the principal railways Civ
ing outlet to the oil produced In petroleum
yielding regions and it claims that this
monopoly, If extended into Mexico, might
inf1ict great injury to Mexican interests.
