Crown Prince George .

Belgrade, Msrch 26.--The belief is
practically universal In Belgrade today
that King Peter will sccep! the resigoa-
tIon of his 500, Grown Prince George,
now that the Cabinet has decided that
Premier Noyakoyitch has no authority
to consider the crown princess letter of
resignation. There Is q story current
that the Cabinet advised the king not to
accept the resignation, but this Is dis.
credited, as it Is known that the king
has long sought some way of getting his
Degenerate son out Of national politics.
The leaders of the wsr party declare
that the crown prince is the victim OF a
plot, the purpose Of which is to
strengthen the position Of those who are
clamoriug for peace. Threats Of depos-
Jog the king and even hints that bis life
s in danger, are being spread broad
cast. The bitterness of the war party is
so great tina. Alexander, the kings
second son, hss declared that he will
not accept the successorship.
The situation is so serious that the
government is calling 10 troops from
the frontier to guard to Capital against
riotiDg. The crown prince Is still 10
the city.
The story OF the crown princes fatal
assault on his valet, is still in an in-
definite form, but Is undoubtedly true.
The young mans friends are charging
that the story was concocted merely to
furnish 40 excuse to force bis retirement.

the Anti Saloon Lesgue, elsted with
past successes 10 the temperance crusade,
Is now inaugursting scheme aud says
he would rather carry the principal
cities "dry" then precipitste a campaign
for state. wide prohibition. Ninety per
cent OF the couIties of the state are al.
ready dry and the recent decision of the
Court If Appeals, sustaining the legality
of the Ward law, has greatly simph6ed
The situation 10 the cities. This deci-
sion disposed Of all the cities in which
elections have already been held with
the exception OF Roanoke, where other
points In connection with the payment
of poll taxes are involved. The next
elections will be held 10 Harrisonburg,
Stanton snd Norfolk. The Portsmouth
contest will probably be on about the
same time IS that Of Norfolk. DIR. Nc
Allister promises to have an election 10
Richmond aud Manchester within 3
year. After these are held Alexandra
and Newport News will be the only
cities in which contest has not been
made. The secretary says the league
will keep up the fight until the people
10 every place in Virginia in which
liquor Is sold will have chance to vote

In THE House yesterday MIR. Under
wood. of Alabama, one Of the democratic
members Of the ways sud means COM
mittee. bat who had nothing to do With
the framing Of the Payne tariff bill, had
this to say of the tariff.
The true Issue between the two great
psrties 10 the preparation Of tariff bill
ia thai one desires to write protective
tariff that leans toward prohibition OF
imports and the other revenue tarlfi
that favors fair competition. Ii there
Vas a more general understanding that
the tariff Ia a tax 10 which private In
lerests share the proceeds with the gov
arnment there would be more rigorous
questioning OF the various duties imposed
by Congress than hiss yet been manifest
Mr. Underwood proposed three ways
in which to avoid the deficit In the
'treasnry-either by reducing expendi-
lures by levying Unconstitutional to those
now imposed on the people, OF by re-
ducing "lhe present. PrOhibitiVe duties
Of the Dlugley bill 10 a competitive
basis, where they will produce sufficient
revenue to meet the demands Of the
treasury" Nh Underwood has stated
the matter tersely and properly, but will
his advice be followed?

lumber combination and expressed the
opinion that q mill owned BY Fordney

THAT'S all buncombe. Yon don u

Mr.. Forduey.
Mr.. Byrd pulled of bis coat and made
a dash down the aisle for Mr. Fordney

Baltimore, was practically given over to
the discussion Of the liquor question yes
terdsy, although some time after the

of resolutions regarding the ownership
OF Randolph Macon College claimed the
attention Of the delegates. Prof. Denny
offered the resolution, which requested
the trustees OF the institution to have
the charter Of the college amended, 90 az
to give the church absolute ownership,
Instead of the moral interest which it
has heretofore claimed. When The vote
was about to be taken on the matter,
Mr.. Charles Pfe.tyman, OF Rockville,
Nd, one OF the trustees of Randolph
Macon, jumped to his feet and took a
stand against the resolution as read BY
Prof Denny.
"The board OF trustees of Randolph
Macon College," he said, "are all Meth
odists and have the interests OF the
church at heart. There need be no fear
that We will not do our duty. Prof.
Denny, 10 bis resolution, ha, suggested
that the board might not always deal
properly with the affairs Of the church.
Such q sIatemsnt consider unfsir, and
deeply resent It."
Bsfore the excitement which these re.
marks caused bad died sway, Prof. Den
ny arose aud remarked that he bad not
made such an inpulatioD, nor did be
wish to cast tho slightest reflection upon
the characters Of the memberd of the
present board. Three other members OF
the board oftrustees OF the college, Judge
John w. Woods, OF Roanoke; Former
Judge E. d. Newman, and William
Armstrong, who had previously been &C
corded the right OF the floor, spoke In
turn on the RESOLUTION, and either sug-
gested that 1t be taken up later or re-
ferred to a special committee, which
should investigate the matter thoroughly
before taking action. The main ques'
ton Was then pat 10 vote and was
passed by 1875 10 10.

persnce was then read, aud a resolution
