will, the provisional government, with
which thus f ir he had no relations.
A procession was then formed and the
king proceeded to the cathedral The
streets were lined with troops and crowd
ed with people who had been pouring
into Belgrade from the provinces during
the last day or two.
After the celebration of mass, which
was attended with all the splendor of the
Eastern church. King Peter drove in
state to the new palace.
Boycotted by Diplomats.
Although the king's entry Into Bel
grade was distinguished by a diplomatic
boycott, his reception by the people was
everywhere marked by heartiness which
approached genuine enthusiasm, In which
all classes participated. The officials
were In uniform and wore all their deco
rations.
Workmen were engaged all night long
in finishing the erection of Venetian
masts and triumphal arches, and some
of the latter were only completed as the
tiring of guns announced King Peter’s
entry into his realm when the train
traversed the bridge connecting Servia
with Austria.
The king's arrival hag awakened the
people out of the attitude of Indifference
which they had assumed since the as
sassinations of King Alexander and
Queen Draga. From the moment King
Peter left the train and the band wel
comed him with playing the Servian
national anthem his progress was fol
lowed by prolonged cheers and exultant
shouts of “Long live Peter the First”
wherever lie appeared.
In the procession to the cathedral the
king occupied a state coach. He was
accompanied by Premier Avakumovlcs.
Along tho entire route were deputations
from various towns and bodies of stu
dents Tiie occupants of the windows
and balconies threw bouquets at the
king's carriage. The number of peas
ants in the streets was remarkable. Many
of 'them came from far distant prov
inces to attend the festivities and en
joyed the free entertainments provided
by the government.
Ceremony at Cathedral.
The ceremony at the cathedral lasted
half an hour. The edifice was crowded.
One portion of it was set apart for the
military and another was allotted to the
civilians. Only a few women were pres
ent.
Just previous to the arrival of the king
the doors of the high altar were closed
and not a single priest was visible. Sud
denly from the outside of the cathedral
came the sound of cheering, signaling
the approach of King Peter, lhe doors
of the high altar were then opened and
a solemn procession of gorgeously robed
priests and members of the choir
emerged, preceded by Incense bearers and
followed by the venerable metropolitan
in brilliant apparel. The procession hall
ed at the main entrance of the cathedral,
while the soldiers drawn up outside the
front of the building at a word of com
mand greeted the king with loud cheers.
The celebration of the mass followed
with tho brilliant observances ot the
Greek ritual, the king standing erect and
impassive.
On leaving the cathedral the king’s
procession moved at a brisk trot to the
new palace, which is situated only a few
paces from the old palace, which was
the scene of tiie assassinations. The
king’s carriage, which was drawn by four
horses, swept in between the palace,
amid the cheers of the crowds, showing
that they had no thought of the recent
tragedy.

.■■pent by Pel.'r Karageorgeovltch in the
Servian capital was marked by his form:.'
accession to the throne. The. now king
tooK the oath of office and later in the
day reviewed the troops, a large part of
the Servian t-rmy having been drawn to

dayj the city was in holiday attire and
tbw rassage of the monarch through tho
streets was eagerly watched for by large
crowds. •

bare, barnlike structure, with flimsy deco
rations, was crowded with representa
tives, officials, clergy and civilian spec
tators, who loudly cried “Long live the
king’’ as he appeared. The king glanced
sharply, almost sternly, at tho deputies,
some of whom were in peasants' garb,
while others were dressed in the height
of western fashion.
During tho day the had several
conferences with the ministers and a
royal proclamation was issued and was
well received. It was announced that the
appointment of the ministers had been
confirmed and that tho provisional cabi
net will be retained.
It is believed that the question of the
punishment of the assassins of King
Alexander and Queen Draga will be al
lowed to lapse. Jt was remarked today
that Colonel Maschln, minister of public
works who took a leading part in the as
sassinations, kept in the background dur
ing the ceremony at the parliament build
ing.

“Long live tho hope of the Servian peo
ple, the army.”
