Resignation of Serylsu Cabinet.

Belgrade, JsU. l6.-The thra'ened
sbdicalion by King Peter 10 favor OF
Crown Prince George was brought MIA or
today by The resignation Of the Seivian
Cabinet.
The Cabinet insists that lie resigua'
ton, the third within the last two
weeks, be accepted without delay. Should
1t carry out its intention despite the
kings protests, it is believed Peter will
give up the crown to his SOD.
The Cabinets resignation Is believed
10 be for no other purpose than to force
this change. King Peters weak policy
toward Austria Is again given as the
cause of the Cabinets resignation.
George ObreneyiIcb, the Ssrvlau pre-
tender, Is taking advantage Of the pres

Thaw to Have Another TrIaI.

Mack, N. Y, Jan. 16.-Harry K.
Tbaw's long fight for freedom from
Malteawan reached Its first stage OF sue
cess today, when Supreme Court Justice
TompkIns decided that the slayer of
Stanford White shall have a new trial as
to bis sanity. The trial is to take place
10 New York county, where the shoot
ing occurred. No date was set by Jus-
lice TOmpklps for the opening OF the
case.
Justice Tompkins held that the only
questions involved 10 ThsW's petition
we're the validity of the commitment
aud the present mental condition OF the
prisoper. The frs. question, the court
held, had been already decided by
Justices Mills aud Morschauser, and
Justice Tompkins would not pass upon it,
A, to the question Of ThsW's present
mental condition, Justice Tompsins de.
cided the prisoner entitled to have it
fairly tried aud determined. Justice
Tompkins refused trial by jury on the
ground that Justice Mills had already
decided adversely 90 this point.
The transfer of the case back to New
York county, as argued for BY District
Attorney Jerome, was made because OF
Je1ome's familiarity with the case and
for the additional reason that the cost Of
the trial, which will be heavy, should
10 the opinion Of the justice, be borne
by The county in which the trial OF the
murder was he'd.
Justice Tompkins decided The trial
should be by the court OF q judge thereof
with or without a referee or commission,
according as the Judge shall see TT to sp-
point such a commission or referee OF
not.
