The general public appears to feel
no particular sorrow, but rather as
sumes an attitude OF relief. Despite
the comparative quiet, however, an
immense guard has been placed
around the palace to preclude any
possibility of further attacks.
Prince Kara Georgoyitch, the new
king, is a grandson of the famous
Black George, who in 1894 raised the
first insurrection against Turkey. The
new king is 50 years old, and has been
a resident of Geneva for some time
past, where he conducted a prOpO-
ganda in favor of his claims for the
throne
A notable coincidence of the affair
is that on this same date in 1860 Al
exander's great uncle was aSSasslnat-
ed. This mornings tragedy ends an
S0-year contest between the George
witch and ObrenOvitch families Black
George, a Kara peasant, drove the
Turks from the country and ruled
from 1907 until 1917, when the Turks
again came into control. They placed
Milan. the first of the ObrenOvitCheS
on the throne, who ruled until 1899,
when he was depOsed by Black
George. who was forced to flee few
years later Black George was muir
dered. Under the treaty of Paris in
1878 Servia was taken under the col
lective protection OF the European
powers.
Alexander was born in 1876 and be-
came king in 1889. He married,
Draga. Milan's widow then aged 40
in 1900. He was the last Of the OBJ

London, June 11.-A Belgrade, Ser

broke out there at o'clock this morn
ing. King Alexander and Queen
Draga, Of Servia. were assassinated
and Prince KaragyOrgyevitz declared
king by the revOlutiOnists. Three
ministers, a number of aides and a
brother of the queen were also aSSaS-

vate message from Belgrade states
that the Servian troops declared kar-
agyOrgyevitz king and then forced an
entrance to the palace.
Belgrade. Seryia, June liking
Alexander and Queen Draga were as
sassinated during a military revolution
which broke out at O'Clock this
morning in the streets Of Belgrade.
proclamation was posted in the streets
shortly afterward stating that their
majesties had been shot.
This mornings trouble was precipl-
tated by AleXander'S high handedness
under the influence Of the queen. PUB
lie opinion especially in army circles
has been seething for months past and
the kings act in sitting the popular
voice at the recent election by forced
ministerial success was the last straw.
The first intimatiOn OF serious trouDle,
however. was not manifested until
last night. when murmurlngS began

Powers May Take a Hand.

Berlin. June 11.-Official infOrma-
ton has been received that Immediate
~ after the assassination an inter
change of views took place between
the principal European governments.
From this it is evident that serious
steps involving the whole OF Europe
are contemplated. Germany herself
has no direct interest in Servia. but
the tragedy will raise international
problems of universal importance.
The question is can the powers look
on passively while a r"igning sOver-
eign recognized By them and repre-
senting their courts is murdered?
Also can great mOnarchies tolerate
proceedings utterly suversive of mon
archism. The public is wondering
what action the kaiser will take. VIII
he allow a monarch to be thus muir
dered without raising finger to Chas-
tie the impiOus regecides. If the
murder is overlooked it sets a bad pre-
cedent for the Balkan capitals. 1t is
possible that Austrian troops will OC-
cupy Servia in the nominal interest of
public order If so Russia might re-
taliate by occupancy Of or war on the
Rollyopc
