mercantile spirit, business demands
preponderating over all other consid-
erations and controlling legal princi
pies, ruling the moral view, not leav-
ing the situation to reason of any
kind unless conducting a splendid and
brilliant business.
But this also forms portion of our
campaign and constitutes one of Our
principal arguments. The American
people would like to purchase cur Co
fee, because it is better and cheaper.
and because it would rapidly increase
the production and the buying of it ia
the metropolitan market and admins
ter to the needs of this people.
And, agriculture prospering, this
country might soon get out of its grave
economical crisis, and then would
also increase our importations of Ame-
rican products into this Island. and
they receive greater benefits there
from than they now receive.
If our American colleague does not
think that what we have said in sup
port of our defense is sufficient; if the
| y. S. Government thinks that it is un-
der no sacred obligation to restore to
this people what they have lost, then
it shall see, in the same proportion, the
inevitable liquida tion of this colony,
the gradual reduction of American i'm
portations, and the products from the
States suffer as ours now do.
Still there is more due US.
Nevertheless, our American col
league has not cared to reply fully to
what we have said on different occa
sions-that is. if they do not wish to
purchase Our coffee at least we should
be nabled to sell to foreign countries.
What reply will the opposers of Our
people, the Government and that most
brilliant of American institutions, the
Press, make to that?

HEIR TO SERyiAN THRONE
Jons BoYS. FARMER, RECOGNISED
As RiGaTrUL KING.
This Fact directs Attention. 10 she min
nssosn DEFENDANT ofthe Head OF
Present Dynasty

London (Eng.l speclal.

London (Eng.> Special.
The announcement that the king OF
Servia would like to abdicate has revived
the story Of the American heir to the
throne, in the person of John Boyn, Q
Minnesota farmer. whose father. Au-
gust Boyn, was said TO be an heir to the
throne Of that country, and who, IL IL
claimed. died in that country many years
ago by the hand OF an assassin.
A writer In the st. James Gazette, IN
discussing the rumors that King Peter
would like to let go because he is disap-
pointed with his people, says the world
contains lot Of pretenders to the throne
who do not really pretend because they
prefer to keep off that dangerous eleya-
ton. The most interesting Of these pre-
tenders, says the writer, is the Minnesota
farmer, John Boyn, believed to be de.
scended from Milos Obrenovitch, and
through him connected with the Servian
ruler.
The mother OF John Boyn lives in o
modest little cottage among the ever.
greens and jackpines near Rum river, o
few miles from Princeton, MINI. She II
81 years old, but for one of her age Is
apparently hale and hearty Small OF
stature and with her shrunken form bent
with inflrmities Of old age, she still shows
that she was in her youth comedy wo-
man for one Of her race. and had Dame
Fortune made her queen Of Servia she
would have graced the throne of that
country of social and political volcanoes
with as much dignity as many Of the
happy and unhappy rulers of Europe.
She did not know much about her hus-
bands kingly Inheritance which 1t has
been claimed he went to Servia to seek.
He told his folks he had large inheri-
lance awaiting him in Servia, and de-
cided to go over to that country in 1887
to secure the wealth. His wife and chill
dren begged him not to leave them. but
he promised to return soon with money
enough to make them all rich.
He had no idea of attempting to regain
his royal rights other than portion OF
the fortune which was due him. He
wrote his wife from Belgrade after his
arrival. In few weeks she received
word through the American consul that
her husband was dead. Subsequent

events proved that he had been assas-
sinated.
Residents of Princeton will remem-
Der Boyn. He had a common education,
and was by trade cabinetmaker The
farm his wife now occupies was pre-
empted by him. The son of old John
Boyn, whom the writer in the ST. James
rect heir to the throne than all other
pretenders, lives a short distance from
Princeton and near the home of his
mother. Though he stoutly maintains
his heirship to the throne now held by
Peter Karageorgevitch, he is not worry
ing over the situation.
According to authentic accounts,
was rescued during an invasion OF the
Turks by being carried by his nurse into
a field and hidden, he being the only
member of the family to escape. The
child was taken to Saxony. where be was
brought up and in time married and
raised family, August Johns fatherl
being the only.son. 1t appears that the
Turks wiped out the royal family from
which the Boyns descended, and Johns
grandfather preferred to remain in
peace in Saxony rather than try sitting
on the insecure throne Of his native
country.
The nurse who rescued the GRANDPA
Their also carried with her the family
Bible and records. and when the child
grew up he received the family record,
which in time went to August, who kept
1t inviolate. When he returned to Servia
he took the Bible with him, but the
book and all the records were lost, as
they disappeared when he died In Bel
