BELGRADE. Servla, June 14.—Com
plete quiet prevailed In Belgrade last
right and absolute quiet is et!U reported
thts afternoon throughout Servla. The
streets here bear an animated appear
ance. being crowded with officers, ladles
and large numbers of studenta who
have arrived from abroad, it Is believed
with the object of demonstrating In
favor of Prince Peter Karageorgevltch
ns king.
Some republican tendencies are no
ticeable among the students who have
studied In France and Switzerland.
These latter, however, are quite over
shadowed by the opinion of the major
ity and there seems to be no doubt that
the national assembly tomorrow will
pronounce In favor of a monarchy and
elect Prince Karageorgevltch. The
newspapers continue to point out the
impossibility of the qntnhllshment of a
republic and advocate the election of
Prince Karageorgevltch In order to as
sure a brighter epoch In Servian poli
tics.
The foreign diplomats In' Belgrade
continue to maintain an attitude of
strict reserve.
Peter Vellmlrovltch, one of the old
est and moat prominent members of the
radical party and a former minister of
etate, hat been appointed president of
the senate in succession to M. Mnrlnko-
vttch, who has resigned. M. Vellmlro-
vltch will take the chair at the Joint
meeting of the senate and the Skup
shtina tomorrow on the occasion of the
election of the new king.
After the election of the king tomor
row, the Skupshtina will draw up a
progr imme of procedure for the nr.v
sovereign and will then adjourn until
the arrival of the king at Belgrade.
The sovereign will then form n new
ministry and dlaaolvs the skupshtlna.

of minor differences, the election of
Prince Karageorgevltch appears abso
lutely assured.

Immediately proceed to elect the king
by acclamation. The members of the
renste and the skupshtlna. however,
would prefer that a new constitution be
adopted first. The radical leaders have
prepared a platform for the new con
stitution upon the lines of that of lltl
The chief points are: 'fhe king shall
not be the commander of the army, the
civil and military authorities mus)
swear allegiance to the constitution and
pot to the king; universal suffrage, and
the abolition of the senate.
The constitution of 1V48 is of very
liberal character and Its adoption was
approved at a conference held today
of. ministers and thosa deputies who are
already In Belgrade.
The provisional government has re
ceived reports from all parts of the
country stating that order prevails.
Congratulatory addresses have been
‘received by the ot'/htry from a lari.-
number of country districts expressing
in the warmest terms thanks for Us
patriotic action at such a critical mo-
charge of lesc mnjeste or disturbing
public order. M. Markovlca did not op*
pose the arrest of these men but ob
jected to the after procedure and,
therefore resigned. On returning home
he told his wife that he brought good
news; that he had resigned his post.
Many persons visited the cemeteflc-s
and the royal vault this afternoon.and
at the grave persons were heard saying
that what had happened was good and
necessary for the nation. Twenty
graves were dug by the troops Imme
diately after the assassinations, but
only the bodies of two officers and that
of Gen. Petrovlcs were burled therein.
At his widow's request, the remains of
Gen. Petrovlcs afterward were removed
by night to his family vault. The bodies
of the late' premier. Gen. Mnmkovlcn
and his eon-ln-lnw, Capt. Mllkovlcs,
were also burled In their own graves.
The widow of the latter was accouched
nf a son almost at the moment that her
husband was murdered.
It transpires that-Queen Drnga In an
audience with the foreign minister a
few weeks ago. said she lived In deadly
f»-ar. not knowing'what the day or night
might bring forth. She knew, she add
ed. that she wns hated by the people,
and that King Alexander also wns de
tested by his subjects, and she wns
convinced that the country would prove
too strong for both ol tnem.
Various reports are in circulation
regarding the value of the late queen's
estate, which was said to amount to
12.100.000, chiefly invested In her sister's
name. In Switzerland and Belgium. A
commission Is now engaged In making
an inventory of the property of the
royal couple, and It Is thought probable
that the total private estate of both
will be found not to exceed hnlf the
sum mentioned.
Tho autopsy on ths king’s body
showed that he hod a skull of the ex
traordinary thickness of eleven millime
tres, whereas the skull of the strong
est men usually measure only s'x milli
metres. The brain was found to be In
a catarrhal state, and th** liver unu
sually large and surrounded with fat.

NEED OF RELIEF
IN KANSAS CITY, KAN.
An Area Including a Population of

Kuiued by the Long Submersion.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 14.—The
relief committee of Kansas City has
given out the following:
“In connection with tho relief for the*
flood sufferers In Kansas City. Kan.,
It Is very important that the people of
the United States should understand
that there are two Kansas Cities -Kan
sas City, In Missouri, with about 280,000
people, and Kansas City, In Kansas,
with over 60,000 people, adjoining tho
former city on the west, and separated
from it by the state line; that each city
has a separate organisation for the re
lief of Its sufferers, and that In Kansas
City, Kan., nn area Including 23^000
people, has been swept by a rushing
1 from ten to thirty feot In depth,
which has carried away more than one-
third of the houses In this district, has
almost ruined another third, and that
in the entire district the merchandise,
household goods and clothing have
either been washed away or are almost
totally ruined by the ten days' submer
sion and a deposit In nil buildings of
from two to four feet of mud.
•’With tho falling of the water, em
ployment for a large number has been
given, and the condition thereby much
Improved. Thero remain, however,
many thousands dependent on charity
for shelter, food, clothing and the
meagre outfit of cooking utensil
furniture. These ennnot be supplied
without outside aid, and unless it Is
furnished to a large amount the most
dire suffering and widespread (sickness
and even death must result. No more
worthy or urgent cause can be present

Kansas City, Kan . and we appeal to
the generous people of the country to
aid In supplying these pressing needs

NEW YORK. Juno 14.—Bafe and
sound, nft'-r a rough passage from
Gourock, Scotland of sixteen days and
twenty-two hours, Sir Thomas Upton’s
latest challenger for tho America’s cup,
the Shamrock III., Is now lying at an
chor off Tonflpalnsvllle, Staten Island,
where she arrived nt 10:20 this mbrnlng.
In company with the steam yacht Erin
that had towed hor most of tho wny
across the Atlantic, and by tho Sham
rock I., towed by the British tug
Cruiser. The !.**♦] men ,whlch manned
the yachts ntpl their convoys nro all
well, and there were no accidents to
mar the passage.
Tho yachts passed Sandy Hook light
ship soon after 6 o'clock this morning.
1 j They wore saluted by every vessel that
p assed thorn, nil the way to quarantine.
When they arrived there the crews of
the yachts gave throe cheers for each
other ns they stood lined up on deck.
Both yachts flow the pennant of the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club.
The new challenger is a far hand
somer craft than eltheB the Shamrock
I. or II. She looks not unlike fhe Co
lumbia above the water line, and her
beam seems greater than either of those
yachts. She tows easily, making very
little broken water at the bow, and
leaving a clean wake. Her captain,
Robert Wrlnge, says she behaved
splendidly under all ^conditions of
weather during the passage across tho
Atlantic. She Is rigged ns a sloop with
a short bowsprit nnd a topmast over
n short, stout lower mast. The Sham
rock I. has the same rig. with the ad
dition of n Jigger mast aft. The latter
steers with a tiller and the former with

Commencement week at the University
of Pennsylvania began today with the
baccalaureate sermon, which was
preached by Rev. Dr. Kerr Boyce Tup-

edifice was crowded with graduutes ana
their friends. Dr. Tuppcr's subject was
"Independence nnd Interdependence."
lie said thnt Independence Is more pop

while this Is true, It Is equally true
that absolute Independence Is an impos

connection nnd mutunl dependence
binds the wifdle human family In ah
Inseparable unity.
Continuing, he said;
"We nre recognizing today, ns never

assassination of Lawyer J. u. Marcum,

There was no Insurance on the struc
