the crown from his head and pierce
him with their swords, even if it were
in the sanctuary while the Archbishop
Of Belgrade was amounting him King
of Servia by divine right. The unfor-
tunate King Peter. who like the whole
Of Servia suffers from the unbearable
tyranny Of the military clique which
murdered his predecessor, feared to
disobey them and at the same time
was reluctant TO offend the great pow
ers of Europe, and to extricate him
self from the difficulty he postponed
the coronation.
LOOKING FOR A LOAN.
Subsequently when he had con-
trived 10 find means of satisfying both
the powerful assassins and the great
powers of Europe, King Peter made
the unpleasant and belated discovery
that he had no crown wherewith to
be crowned and no money to cover the
expenses of the coronation ceremony.
He had been under the impression that
he would be crowned with the crown
which King Alexander wore, but it
transpired that this symbol of regal
authority had been smashed to bits
by the rebel officers on the fatal night
of June II, 1903. King Peter had also
been under the impression that the
Servian Legislature would vote the
necessary sum TO cover the cost of the
coronation, but he was given to under
stand in terms more forcible than
they were loyal and polite that the
elected representatives of the people
had no intention whatever of squan-
dering national money on the purchase
of such a bauble as a crown or on the
arrangement of costly fetes in honor
of his Majesty's coronation.
A more ludicrous situation never
existed in all history. On the one side
a King pining to be crowned; on the
other side the Legislature which
summoned him to ascend the throne
refusing to buy him a crown or pay
the expenses of his coronation In
this extraordinary Dredicament King
Peter dispatched a personal emissary
to various European capitals to raise
a personal loan which would enable
him TO buy a golden crown decorated
with diamonds and to pay the ex-
penses of the coronation festivities.
This emissary journeyed in succession
to st. Petersburg, Berlin, Brussels.
London, Paris and Rome. but in all
these cities the financiers turned
deaf ear to the royal appeal for money
on the ground that they saw little
chance of securing it's repayment, and
the Kings special messenger returned

less harshly than the other monarchs-
The English Government gave Mr..
Sinitch clearly to understand that It
was quite out of the question for any
Prince Of the royal blood to represent
England at the coronation He was
further informed that King Edward
and the English Government regarded
King Peters subservience to King
Alexander,s assassins with such con-
tempt and suspicion that England
would refuse to have any diplomatic
intercourse whatever with Servia un-
til the criminals were utterly banisned
from court and from positions or in
fiuence.
Another appeal addressed to the aged
and benevolent Emperor OF Austria
ELECTED the emphatic reply that the
honor of the house Of Hapsburg could
not be soiled by the presence Of one Of
its members at the coronation Of a
King whose hands are stained with
blood. Rebuffed and rebuked on all
sides. King Peter cannot contemplate
his coronation in a happy frame of
mind.

Never change without cause, if your
, condition under existing circum-
stances is fairly good. There was a
| time when we stood here and plead
with you to change-but it wasn't
from Republican conditions. 1t was
when this country was down in the
| very depths of poverty and discour-
agement; when labor was unemployed
| and capital was lille and people Were
up there in the mountains and you
distress. We asked you to change it
then, we stood here and pleaded with
you, we analysed the conditions as
| they existed and showed you that re-
lief lay not in going deeper down into
the pool, but rather in coming out
from it. Unfortunately in this state
you needed not this cry. You voted
to stay where you We're. But the PEG
pie of the United States throughout
the entire country, in their conserva-
tive wisdom, voted to lift you in
spite of yourselves out of these con-
ditions, and they did. (Applause.)
They said in effect to YOU We have
learned the lessons of life out in this
larger world, and we are capable OF
knowing what is for the best interests
of the people, but If you are obdurate
up there in the mountains, and you
insist on staying as you are, We will
take you by the hand and We will
lead you up out of Democratic dark
ness into the sun light of Republican
prosperity" (Applause.) And they
led you in spite of yourselves, they
led you out and when you found

shine of prosperity once again, as you
did before 1892, your hearts went out
with shout for the Republican
party, and two years ago you made
