people are becoming impatient, and
every day has become a virtual June
18th and the dread OF assassination
Is peril that never leaves the mind
Of the King.
That his fears are most real is
well illustrated by the fact that
comparatively unimportant matter,
a lone bill involving only small
sum, was sufficient to stir Belgrade
TO revolt. Peter, placed between
two fires. dare neither approve nor
veto the bill. and while it lay on his
desk the citizens gathered In the
courtyard Of the palace crying,
"Long live Alexander Long i've
the Republicl Down with PeterI
King Peter might have succeeded
in the position to which he was
called but for his unfortunate alli-
ance with the regicides who had
made his accession to the throne
possible. If Peter had been limo
cent of any completely in the taking
off of the unhappy king and queen,
he could have made an suspicious
start by vigorously visiting Justice
OIL the guilty.
But unfortunately for the new
monarch, it is established beyond a
chance of doubt that be knew in adj
vance of the contemplated descent
on the palace, and promised full
immunity should he become king,
to all who were concerned in the
deed of blood.
1t is said that the military com
mander who led the assault, forced
him to sign a paper to this effect.
Thus at the very start OF his reign
he was compelled to permit leaders
of the regicides to hold prominent
and ostentatious place at his court.
Peters close association with this
regicide quickly alienated from him
all the thrones of Europe. Punish
the murderers,' said the powers In
effect. And we will uphold YOU"
Unable to do this. Peter saw him
self alone. During the year before
the murder of Alexander and Draga,
the Servian exports to England we're
valued at 100000, and amount
which fell in the year OF the tragedy
to some $4,000, while IN the year
following the diplomatic rupture
and the evidence that King Potter
was unable to deal out Justice. the
exports finally fell down to psstry
$500.
The chance of his son, Prince
George, ever mounting the throne is
small. There are several pTetenders.
This son has been indirectly the
cause of much of the abuse cast upon
the ruler. A doctor who examined
the lad pronounced him weakling,
who would be an easy victim fer a
forceful woman. The woman in
the case was not long n appearing

abroad. Shortly after this she was

VALUE TEN BILLIONS
RAILWAYS DECLARED TO BE NOT
OVER CAPITALIZED.

Senator Elkins of West Virginia has just
compIetcd and filed in the Senate his mi
noritv report on the railroad rate Law. The
report was nominaily submitted June q
last but Immediately withdrawn for further
elaboration. 1t now presents compre-
hensive history of the economic develop
ment of American railroads, together with
exhaustive tables which tend to show a
constantly decreased freight and passenger
rate and the relation between such rates
and the price of commodities and cost Oh
labor. As TO the decrease in rates the re-
port says:

slightly from 1870 TO 1880. During the next

The invitations were issued In the
usual way for an evening party. When
the guests had arrived they were in
formed that so articles had been lost
within the confines of three rooms. A
list of the missing objects was fur
nished each person. A reward was
offered for four different things; sill
yer spoon, gold thimble, brass tray
and lace handkerchief.
A half hour was allowed for the
search, and such fun-finally every
thing was brought to light except the
lace handkerchief which was at last
traced to the folds of the white lace
curtains. Some of the articles hidden
were tiny wooden boxes filled with
bon-bons, toys, an orange, apple,
piano (toy one), baby (dolD, clothes

Future Generations Will Thus Be AS
sured of 6ehoIding the Wonders
of Natures Strange
Moods.

Future generations who will visit
the Yosemite valley and marvel at
the wonderful beauty and grandeur
Of this garden spot will be grateful
to the federal government, by whose
act in the year 1905 this spot in the
great state of California was preserv-
ed as a perpetual government reser-
walton. With the taking over of the
mysterious valley" as it used to
be called, new boundary lines have
been surveyed, and within three
months the hitherto tedious stage
journey over the mountains will have
given place to the trolley line which
enters the valley through canyon
at its western end, and next spring
the tourists who visit the wonderful
place will be able to make the trip
comfortably by trolley-the requisite
electricity for which will be furnished
by water power.
The reservation. as now officially
outlined, is 80 miles in width. from
east to west, and 40 miles long from
north to south. But the valley itself
is only SIX miles long by half mile
In width. 1t is sunk just about one
mile vertically below the general
level of the adjacent region, resem-
bling a gigantic trough of irregular
shape, followed out in the mountains.
Nearly in the center of the state of
California, the Yosemite is 155 miles
from San Francisco. as the crow flies
"a little south of east.
In early days the whites in that
part of California had good deal
of trouble with the Indians, settlers
being murdered occasionally, and va
rious outrages committed. 1t was
learned that the savages had some
sort of retreat far up in the noun
tains-a natural stronghold, in which
they deemed themselves safe from
pursuit or attack-and, curiosity on
the subject being excited, military
expedition was organized to explore
the region and drive out the Indians.
Under the guidance of an old chief,
Tenaya, whose name is perpetuated
in beautiful lake between Mount
