The conference OF senators and
deputies. held at Belgrade. resolved
unanimously, that the constitution of
1883 should be put in force, and that
Prince Peter Karageorgevitch should
he elected king.
II Is not certain that Karageorge-
witch will accept the crown. The
most sensational rumors have been
received from Geneva. One is to the
effect that the prince demands that
before he enters Belgrade all officers
concerned in the murders shall have
left it, requires an increase in his
civil list, and insists that his election
must be unanimous
II is believed that the terms laid
down by the prince will be granted,
that the assassiBs will be banished,
and that amnesty will be extended to
them later.
Prince Karageorgevitch, although
little is known of him among the peo-
pie of Servia generally seems to have
caught the public fancy, and his cleo
ton will be a popular one.

NEW KING DENIES COMPLETELY
Says the Killing Was to Him a Shock
ing Surprise.


Prince Peter Karageorgevitch, the
pretender to the Servian throne, gave
an interview at Geneva, Switzerland,
In which he repeated his disclaimer OF
any completely, direct or indirect, in
the assassination of King Alexander
and Queen Draga. He expressed his
detestation of the crime, and gave a
brief outline of his own political ten
denotes.
Replying to a series of direct ques-
tons. Prince Peter said:
1T is true my partisans have a COM
plete organization in Servia, with
which | am In frequent communica-
ton. know from other sources that
the discomfort of the Servian people
had reached its height, but | could
not possibly have foreseen the events
of the other night. | in no way con-
tributed to their preparation, and l
took no part, direct or indirect, in
them On the contrary, their perpe-
tration surprised me.
MY opinion of the executions Of
the king and queen of Servia is this:
! deeply regret that ii has been
thought necessary to shed streams of
blood | formally disapprove of the
violent measures. and especially de-
plore that the army has had recourse
to such measures-an army which has
nobler tasks TO accomplish than assas'
sination. 1t would have sufiiced to
force King Alexander to sign his abdi'
cation.

His conspicuous bravery in the battle
of Villersexel brought him the badge
Of the legion Of honor. On the con-
clusion of the war he turned his at
tention to Herzegovinas struggle for
liberty and took prominent part In
the rising which was the starting
point of the Russo-Turhish war. He
spent the great part Of his fortune in
aiding the insurgents.
