PENDLETON, Ore., June 16.—Three
men who survived the flood at Hepp
ner, B* D. Hall, J. J. Kelly and A. P.
Bradbury, have arrived here, after hav
ing witnessed the destruction of the
town and assisted in the work of res
cue. Mr. Kelly said:
"The rain was not falling in Heppner,
but could be teen some distance away.
Sharp flashes of lightning were accom
panied by tbe howling thunder. Then
suddenly the thunder died away, and
n loud noise was heard, very faint at
first, but growing louder. The city Is
situated on Willow creek, which makes
a sharp turn above the city. An the
noise grew louder and louder the peo
ple became frantic. Then In a moment
the van of the fVxxi burst Into view
around the curve of the creek, carry
ing on its'crest the cabins and bouses
which stood In Its path. The people
made a rush to the hills, but were
too late. The flood was upon them. The
little river in five minutes wnn trans
formed Into a roaring torrent 400 feet
wide and twenty feet deep. Houses
were lifted from their foundations and
carried on the swirling waters. Peo
ple were carried In their homes and
forced to crawl out on the roofs. Then
ss the houses moved down the stream
they caught on to the trees nnd hung
there until morning, when they were
rescued.”

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va.. June 13.
—President Roosevelt today wound up
his tour of the continent in a visit to
the University of Virginia. This was
alumni day at the university, nnd the
occasion was made memorable by th**
presence of the president and many
men distinguished In public life, some
of them graduates of the university.
The reception accorded the president
was a particularly warm one, nnd he
was greeted with ringing cheers when
he arose to speak before the nlumnl
In the public hall and the student body
at the luncheon tendered him In the
gymnasium, and they were renewed
several times during his two speeches.
The president when he arrived hfere
at 11:20 o'clock this morning was es
corted direct to the university grounds,
nnd In the famous rotunda bulldlpg.
standing near the statue of Thomas Jef

BELQRADE, Juno 16.—Tho position
of King Fetor I. promises to bo little
more than that of n royal captive; the
real government of the country will be

Extremely forcible arguments were
found necessary to suppress the radi

of the creation of a re
publican form of government was LJu-
bomlr SchlokoVlcs, the editor of the
Belgrade Odjek. Finding him imper
vious to arguments Iho conspirators In
vited him to a dinner nt the officers'
club Inst Saturday. During the dinner
his host told him that unless lie agreed
to support Prince l’eter Karngeorge-
vitch there would be one head less In
Belgrade that night. M. Schlokovlca
yielded to tho force of this reasoning
and accepted the situation. lie Ih now

ment.
The deliberations of the members of
the senate nnd skupshtlna on the re
publican question were materially has
tened by the attendance of one of the
leaders of the revolution, Col. MUh-
chltch. The colonel took no part In
tho proceedings but bis presence was
significant enough to Induce the mem
bers to accept the army’s choice.
Inquiries in official circles everywhere

two houses, left Belgrade by special
train last night to Inform King Peter
of Ills election to the throne. The of
ficers who have been appointed to at

The deputation Is expected to return
here with the king on Monday or Tuea-
day next.
The chamber met at ten o’clock this
morning and adjourned for the pur
pose of going to the cathedral, where
a great thanksgiving service, Including
a Te Deurn was celebrated. The min- *
latent attended the service, which was
carried out with all the stately cere
monial of the Greek church.
The cathedrul presented a plctur-
esquo scene. The aged metropolitan,
in gorgeous vestments of purple and
cloth of gold and with Jeweled mitre,
was surrounded by the bishops and
priests of the cathedral chapter. Hair
the congiegatlon was composed or
tinny officers In full uniform. The
ministers wore dress suits and all their
orders. The metropolitan In a brief ad-
dr ss, congratulated the nation on tho
restoration of Karugeorgevltch dynas
ty, a dynasty which had included so
many bravo and hoble men. While de
ploring the necessity for recent events
he thanked the army for what It had
done and praised Its behavior.
The offlccri# audibly expressed their
pleasure at these remarks from tho
prelate who concluded with Invoking
