CHOSEN KING OF SERvIA.
Entire Vote in Skupshtina and Senate
Was for karageorgevitch.

Semlin, Hungary, June 1.-THE
skupshtina and senate of Servia met
in joint session precisely at noon and
within Is minutes had elected Prince
Peter Karageorgevitch as king of
Servia.
Long conferences were held between
the ministers and deputies. These re-
suited in cut and dried program
which went through without hitch.
The parliamentary gathering was
held in the white and gold ballroom, in
the new wing of the palace, within a
few yards of the spot where King Alex
ander and Queen Draga's bodies were
thrown from the window. Not the
slightest reference was made to the re-
cent tragedy. The ministers of the
provisional government sat at the min.
isters' table. the prominent figure
among them being the chief of con-
sprators. Colonel Machn, Queen
Draga's brother in law, who was re-
splendent in his full army uniform.
The members of the skupshtina and
senate entered the hall and took their
seats informally.
President Velimirovotics rose and
Immediately began speaking amid
breathless silence. He said the nation
al assembly had met to elect king of
the fatherland, having already agreed
upon the principles Of the new con-
stitution. Immediately the whole as
semblage rose and shouted: Long live
Karageorgevitch." The roll call fol-
lowed. each member rising quietly in
his place and saying peter Karageor-
gevitch."
There was no dissenting vote and
the proceedings closed with brief
speeches. delivered by the premier and
president, congratulating the assembly
upon it's days work. which, it was
hoped, meant better days for Servia.
Directly afterwards the soldiers out
side took the oath Of allegiance to
the new king, the late Queen Draga's
regiment being the first to do so.
The inhabitants of Belgrade are re-
markably quiet and apparently uncon-
cerned.. The cafes are filled with peo-
pie reading the newspapers and play
ing cards or chess and there Is little
to indicate that the nation has been
engaged in the election of new
sovereign.
The election closely follows that of
1888, and Is even more democratic. 1t
is described as making Servia virtual
ly a republic with king at its head.

Saloon Robbery at Butte.

Butte, Mont, June 17.-Three daring
holdups with guns in each hand held
up six men in Nick Balkovitz's saloon,
near Silver Bow park, lined them all
up against the wall and while two men
stood guard the third rified the cash
register OF its contents, amounting to
about 5000 The pockets of the CIV
tins were then gone through by the
highwaymen and three watches Sc
cured. One, a gold timepiece, belong
ing to the proprietor Of the saloon, was
worth $50, while the other two were
silver watches. The robbers proceeded
with coolness and dispatch and every
drawer in the saloon was inspected.
While the robbers were preparing
to take their departure the mask of the
leader slipped from his face. and for
moment the mans features were ex-
posed to view. A good description OF
the robber was given to the police and
soon after an arrest was made OF a
suspect in the Butte Concert hall, who
was later identified as one Of the hold

KING AND QUEEN MURDERED
SERvlAN RULERS AND MEMBERS
OF COURT SHOT DOWN.
Prince Peter karaeeorgevitch Pro.
claimed King Of Servia-PeopIe Ae.
cept Him Without Murmur-Par-
ticulars Of the Crime Related by
Leader Of the Criminals.

The assassination of King Alexan
der and Queen Draga, the latter's two
brothers, the Servian premier, minister
of war and former minister of war, per
petrated in the dark hours of the night
by band of officers, and the procla
nation by the army Of Prince Kara
georgevitch, pretender to the throne
as king Of Servia, have apparently, II
may be said, been accepted by the
capital and the Servian people without
a murmur.
The only new element in the situa.
tion is a feeling among the intelli.
gent classes in favor of the abolition
of a Servian monarchy altogether, and
the creation Of republic, and this sen,
timent is shared by at least one mem.
ber of the provisional government.
Story From Berlin.
The Belgrade correspondent of the
Lokal Anzeiger sends number of par
ticulars of the assassinations, which
were given him by Lieutenant Colonel
Mischitch, the actual leader of the con.
spiracy. The cOnspirators, he says,
were exclusively junior army officers
and included no generals among them.
King Alexander received several warn.
ing letters, one appointing Whitsunday
for the tragedy. When that day passed
Queen Draga remarked to her maid
of honor:
"You see, these towards write and
write, but no one ventures to act"
During the evening before the as.
sassination the conspiring officers as
sembled in cafes adjacent to the palace
and created an impression Of loyalty
by frequently demanding that the mu.
sicians play certain piece named af
ter Queen Draga. In the fight at the
Palace gates, according to Colonel Mis-
chitch, 10 men were killed and 20
wounded
When they discovered the king and
queen in their hiding place in the al
cove Colonel Mischitch demanded King
Alexander's abdication. The king re.
piled in loud voice:
81 am not King Milan. l will not
allow myself to be frightened by few
officers. Do you understand that?"
Then the colonel demanded that the
king Danish Queen Draga. The mon
arch replied by embracing and kissing
his queen. Both were then shot.
Coming into the palace under a
cloud of suspicion, and disliked by the
people over which she was to rule, the

WEIGHING IN THE CLERKS.
Form of HazinE That Is I'm Vogue in

at Washington.

"We weighed in one of our clerks a
few days ago." remarked an official of

Washington Star. Weighing in is not
exactly form of hazing, but it is a
process designed to take the starch
out of employees of our department.
who are inclined to get too gay.
Zone Of our young men-who, by the
way, is the SON of an officer of the de-
partment of high rank-recently grew
altogether too festive. He began by
shooting rubber bands at the rest OF
us and next took to playing practical
jokes. We submitted patiently until
he acquired the habit of visiting an
adjoining room for the purpose Of pay
ing rather devoted attentions to an
other fellows sweetheart. Then it
was that we determined to put the
weighing in process into execution.
"One of the schemers remarked to
the gay young man that the latter
seemed to be gaining in weight. It
was suggested that Smith was an ex-
pert in guessing the weights of persons
and Smith offered to bet that he could
come within two pounds of the
weight of the festive youth. In order
to test the matter the youth consented
to be lifted. Smith reached back over
his shoulders and raised the youth
clear off the ground, whereupon the
assembled group of clerks produced
slap-sticks and rulers and proceeded
to paddle the victim in hearty fashion
To add to his discontinue the young
lady referred to appeared in the door
way and was a decidedly amused wit

any signs of freshness since" added

ably the most subdued employe in the
