(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. July i.-t8peclal.-Ths
Slate department ha not yet taken any
slept toward the recognition of the new
king of Servla. and It If not at all likely
that anything In this direction will be done
for seme time, Eventually diplomatic re
latione will be resumed for the reason that
about all of Servla's kings nave been In
stalled after an Insurrection or an aasasln
atlon. ...
There have been eight Servian monarch
since the country separated Itself from
Turkey in the early part of the last cen
tury. Peter I, the new king! Is the third
sovereign of the house of Karageorgevltch.
and the late King Alexander was the' fifth
or the rival house of Obrenovltch. A
glance at the list of the rulers of Bervia
will well exhibit the turbulent character
of the people of that country, and the un
certain tenure of , the throne. Seven of
iliem. Including the new one. have suffered
execution, assassination or exile. The only
exception Is the cane of the first Milan,
who resigned after a few months, and ap
parently did not give his subjects time to
got disgusted with him. - Nearly every up
heaval In the country has been due to the
century-old rlvalrjs between the contesting
royal house founded by a pair of brave
but brutal barbarians, George Petrovttch,
better known In history as Kara or Oxerny
(black) George, and Mllosh Obrenovltch,
Tlje .following chronological table gives the
Servian rulers and their fate:

Pstaefcs xAr' Ftarbarona and Despotic.
There! were many risings and' conspiracies
In the relgha of all the princes, which were
put down and punished with barbaric cru
elty. All the princes were men of the
severfly despotic type and true successors
of the famous founders of the rlvsl dynaa-
Knrageorge. the first leader of Servian
Independeace. called by the new king his
Illustrious sncestor, was a man of great
bravery, but stern and - relentless. H la
. said to have shot his own father (great
grandfather of Peter) because the latter
would not, Join his revolution. He after
wards exeouted one of his own sons for
crime, and. forbade the mother to mourn
for him. He was raised a mountain peas
ant. and Is said- to have begun active life
by murdering a Mussulman and becoming
a leader of a band of outlaw, who pillaged
and murdered Turks. He raiaed the banner
of revolt in 1804 and fought with barbaric
ability and cruelty until he became ruler
of his country. He Is, said , to have first
refused to become' the leader' of his people,
fearing his Ignorance, for he could neither
read nor rlto.
"We'll assist you with our advice," was
the reply of his followers.
' But I am- of a violent spirit." he said;
Instesd of Judging I shall order men . to
death." .
"Well, In .our-, circumstances we want
rigor." was the nnswer, and he Warns
their leader and secured Independence, un
der nominal Turkish sovereignty, and the
rulerahlp of his country. He was aban
doned bv the csar Just before the Napol
eonic; invasion of Russia, and after, a vain
effort to. secure peace on. any bonis with
the Turks, was compelled to flee the coun
try. He returned In , secret four years
later. . but Obrenovltch, rapidly rising to
Influence among the people, and desiring
Tin rivals, betrayed him to the Turks, who
first strangled him, then beheaded him and
displayed his head at Constantinople, "for
men who he had many times made tremble
to gape etl";
Karageorg-e'a C haraeterlstlrs.
Karageorge Is described as having been
gloomy and taciturn, but wine would make
Mm talk and even dance. He waa simple
In his habits and performed the hardest
kind of work. He was a "barbarian hero,
but cruelty and avarice stained his char
acter.". Mllosh ' Obrenovltch was ten year's his
rival's Junior. He was also humbly born,
but at the outbreak of the war for Inde
pendence he exchanged his farming Imple
ments for the sword and followed Kara
george. ' He was for some time high In the
latter'a favor. Mllosh soon gained great
renown, and when Karageorge Med the
ountry he still persisted In the field. He
had great opportunities for the display of
courage. His most renowned feat was de
fending a village' for seventeen days. He
finally, In 1816. secured a favorable peace
with autonomy In southern Servla. Bel
grade' being still held by Turkey. Then
followed the betrayal and death of Kara
george. His rival disposed of, Mllosh waa
solemnly proclaimed hospodar In Novem
ber, 1817. He ruled with energy, putting
down several Insurrections and conspira
cies with great cruelty. Turkey recognised
Mm as hereditary prince In 1829. But in
1839, 'after much trouble with the senate
(which was headed by his own brother,
Yereml) and the army, he was made pris
oner by the army and compelled to resign,
and then exiled. He was out of the country
for many years, during the short reigns of
his two sons and that of Alexander Kara
georgevltch. But in ISM. when almost 80,
he was recalled, after an armed rebellion,
and died on the throne In I860.
The best of the Una of Servian princes
was undoubtedly Michael, aaaassinated In
1868, and the worst was undoubtedly Alex
ander, assassinated la the same . , blood
stained city of Belgrade Just thirty-five
years later to day.
Treaty IMaaila Some Chance.'
The latest Information from Bogota, capi
tal of the T'nlted States of Colombia. Is
much more favorable to the ultimate ratifi
cation of the Colombian canal treaty thun
ny which had been received previous, al
though It Is by no means certain that the
convention will secure the support of a
majority of the Colombian congress with
out material amendments, which will make
It neoeeaary to delay the final payment of
the 150,000,000 provided for In the agreement.
This vast sum la to be divided at the rate
of four-fifths to the French company and
one-fifth to the Colombian government. The
Treasury department has the money avail
able, and should the treaty be ratified
without . amendment the necessary steps
will be taken within thirty days to close
the incident and transfer the gold. It has
been asserted that Secretary Shaw de
clares his thorough preparation to pay out
the entire amount without calling upon the
banks for any of the deposits which have
been made of public funds In those Institu
tions, but of course ay amendment to the
treaty whatever will necessitate further
ction by the United States senate, and
this cannot be secured before the special
session meets, which, as now -understood,
will be November.9. Those who have been
most closely Identified with the negotiations
now nearlng a close for a transfer of the
rights of the French company to the
Panama ditch are far more confident than
they have been at any previous period ns
to the outcome, and, in fact, the gentlemen
now here do not hesitate to predict that
the special session of the Colombian con
gress which adjourns by law on July 20
will complete the work for which they were
called together, and that they will au
thorise the exchange of ratifications with
out any amendments whatever.
Mlllloaa for flalldlaa; Work.
An indication of what may be expected
in the way of changes' In the physical char
acteristics of the city of Washington may
be gathered from the knowledge that at
the present time the municipal officers of
the government are Issuing building per
mits at the rate of 11,250,000 a month. These
permits are for buildings not included in
the general list of great works which have
been authorized, and which will Insure the
expenditure of many millions through tho
building trades In the capital within the
next ten years. Tho work to be done by
tbe Pennsylvania Railroad company end
the roads which are to be associated with
it In the union depot will cost. It Is now
estimated, at least 115,000,000, and besides
new buildings for .the Department of Agri
culture, the National museum, the office
building for the house of representatives
and the municipal Dulldlng for the district
government congress will without question
during the coming session authorize for the
completion of the east front of the capitol
according to the Walters plan. These plans
are the basin for a model now being made
of the capitol. This model .will be one of
ihe most beautiful works of the kind ever
attempted' In this country and It Is be
lieved that Its exhibition next winter will
result In practically a unanimous endorse
ment of the extension scheme. The model
Is still under way and the 17,000 appropri
ated for It will probably not all be ex
pended. The work Is being done under the super
vision of Mr. Elliott Woods, superintendent
of the capitol bul'dlng, and grounds, who
has a faculty; not exhibited to any large
extent by government officials generally, of
completing any . work assigned to him
largely within the. appropriation, thus en
abling him to cover back Into the treasury
a considerable portion of almost every
fund placed to his credit for federal works,
Carolina's .New Jblstlllery Lavr.
Officials of the Internal revenue bureau of
the treasury are witching the results of the
attempt of the state authorities of North
Carolina to enforce what Is known as "the
Watts law," which went Into effect on
Julyi. This law provides that no distil
lery shall be carried on anywhere within
the state of North Carolina except within
an incorporated municipality. There are In
the state something like GOO distilleries lo
cated In the mountains and many rural
communities generally, - in each of which a
comparatively small quantity is annually
produced. These distilleries are almost all
the result of the enforcement of the rev
enue laws since the early '70s. Up to the
close of the war and for several years
thereafter North Carolina was dotted all
over with moonshine stills. In which Illicit
whisky was produced, and-hundreds of lives
of government agents were sacrificed In
trying to break up the business. Finally
a compromise agreement was reached
whereby the distilleries registered , and
thereafter paid the regular tax upon their
product. In return for this concession on
their part they were given Immunity for
past crimes against the revenue laws. The
system has been very satisfactory to the
government' for-the last thlry years and,
while Illicit or moonshine distilling is still
produced to some extent In North Carolina
It Is by no means as troublesome to the
federal authorities as.it formerly was.: it
la believed that If this Watts law Is rigidly
enforced by the state the result will be a
multiplication of illicit stills throughout
the 'state and the consequent great annoy
ance to the federal authorities and prob
ably the sacrifice of many more lives. The
North Carol I nm will insist upon drinking
new corn whisky and If he cannot get it
from a barrel '.hat has the government
stamp he will take-It from a Jug which has
never borne the gase of the eye of the rev
enue officer.

R. G. Dunn & Co. report 6.631 commercial
failures during the first half of 1903 for
$W.797,?fiO In amount of liabilities, compared
with 6.1fi6 bankruptcies in the correspond
ing months Inst year, when the defaulted
indebtedness amounted to fi0,374,R6. While
the decrease In number was about 9 per
cent, the sum Involved Increased a similar
percentage. This Is due to several large
failures.
Separating the half-yearly record Into the
three chief divisions, U Is found that there
occurred 1.280 defaults In manufacturing,
with a total loss of S3U.1o.144. as compared
with 1,418 last year for J24. 940.020. Traders
suspended to the number of 4.038. against
4,410 a year ago, and liabilities were $30,64.
448, against 13,145,822. The third commer
cial subdivision contains brokers, trans

concerns thst cannot properly be Included
In either of the two principal classes. Of
these firms 310 failed with debts aggregat
ing $10,117,673. as compared with 306 In 1302
with liabilities of $9,249,435. Banks and
other fiduciary Institutions suspended with
defaulted indebtedness of $fi.495,716, a most
gratifying return when compared with sim
ilar liabilities of $lti,797.763 last year or
$15,839,389 In 1901. There was an Increase of
ten In number, over the banking defaults
last year. Failures for the half year:

Conditions Improved.
The statistics of commercial and financial
mortality are most encouraging, for the
events of the past six months were not
such as to encourage expectation of a small
numner of Insolvencies. On the contrary,
while no great crisis or widespread calam
ity menaced the nation's business, there
were many exceedingly unfortunate occur
rences, some of sufficiently disturbing
character to produce extreme conservatism.
Doubtless this very caution Is responsible
for the comparatively light Insolvency re
turns. Disasters due to the elementa were
more numerous than usual, floods devastat
ing many sections, while tornadoes, fires
and drouth caused havoc at other points.
Industrial wars were frequent and costly,
a vast army of wage earners voluntarily
reducing their purchasing power, and of
necessity curtailing the consumption of all
products except the bare necessaries of
life. Sensational manipulation of the sta
ple commodities, notably cotton, exerted
much Influence beyond the Immediate vicin
ity of the leading exchanges. Liquidation
of securities, averaging $15 per share for
the sixty active railways during the half
year, followed a fall of about $10 a share
during the closing months of 1902, yet this
enormous shrinkage In the market value
of stocks brought no such failures as would
have occurred under similar circumstances
In preceding years.
I.esann of the Flsrores.
Consequently the lesson taught by the
economic factors In evidence for the first
half of the current year Is that the coun
try's trade and finances were too strongly
established , during the extremely favorable
years pre-edlng to react under influences
calculated 'to produce a crvere strain. s
the turning point appears to be almost
reached, there is reason for Sanguine feel
ings regarding the future, and the business
community has good cause for congratula
tion that there is so little wreckage to be
removed or financial house cleaning to' be
done at the opening of a new fiscal year.
In so far as failure statistics are evidence
of the situation there Is warrant for In
creasing confidence, especially In view of
the fact that the June liabilities were
mucn smaller than any earlier month of
1903.
In the following table liabilities of strict
ly commercial failures are given by months

Failures by Sections.
Examination of the failure returns by
states discloses a somewhat puzzling sit
uation In New England, where liabilities
increased, although the number of defaults
was 215 leas. Almost every state shared
the decrease, but the change waa most
Striking in Massachusetts. It Is also worthy
or note that last year's bankruptcies in
the "Bay state showed a corresponding de
crease compared with 19JL Numerically
there was little alteration in the Middle
states, but liabilities Increased in New
York moderately, and doubled In New Jer
sey, but Pennsylvania made a much more
satisfactory return.
' At the south and southeast an improve
ment Is found, although liabilities were
much larger in Maryland. A correspond
ing decrease In Georgia restored the equili
brium, while South Carolina and Kentucky
also reported smaller liabilities by $300,0uo
or more. Insolvency returns from the
southwest are remarkably favorable in
comparison with lust year, considering, the
great floods, but this Is mainly due to the
exceptionally heavy losses a year ago ow
ing to crop, failures. Making comparison
with the returns of two years ago, it ap
pears liabilities Increased $16J,uu0 in Ar
kansas, $300,000 in Missouri and nearly
$1,000,000 in Texas, while an increase of 200
In number of failures is found for the three
states.
An Increase of over $6,000,000 liabilities la
recorded for the Central states, due chiefly
to a few very large manufacturing defaults
in Ohio, and several prominent trading and
brokerage loases In Illinois. As to number,
there was a decrease of over luO in the lat
ter state.' Michigan reported double the
number, but only $400,000 more liabilities
than last year. Little net change appears
at the west as to number, while liabilities
diminished over $1,000,000. This was mainly
due, however, to abnormally large losses
a year ago in Colorado. . The only other
noteworthy change in this section was the
increase in number In Knnsus with no cor
responding expansion of liabilities. On the
Pacific slope the failure statistics were re
markably uniform with last year's. Utah
decreasing about as much as California
increased.

Insolvency returns from the Dominion of
Canada were most strikingly satisfactory.
In number 492, . compared with 610 last year
and still more in most earlier years, while
liabilities of $3.395i$7r were much lighter
than the $5,739,461 i r 1002. and an average of

Manufacturing failures numbered 107, with
liabilities of $1,045,843, against 109 last year
for $1,281,866. There, were 376 trading fail
ures with liabilities of $2,227,691, against 491
for $4,065,648 a year ago, and other commer
cial defaults were ten for $122,103, compared
with ten for $102,037, The only unfavorable
comparison waa made by banking defaults,
owing to two large suspensions in Ontario.

VALENTINE. Neb.. July 5.-(Speclal Tel

this year would 'do justice to a much larger
city. A largo balloon exploded by being
overcharged with gas and seven people
were more or leas seriously burned by the
sheet of flame1 that enveloped them. That
the result was not morj serious Is con
sidered a miracle. Frank Day, a cowboy,
was also Bertously injured in a roping steer

was a smuggler, threatened that he would
go to Rome and have the young governor
recalled. To which the latter replied that
the marquis might go to Rome, but he
would, In doing so, flrst pass through the
doors of a prison. While suppressing
brigandage Father Pccci also rebuilt the
roads, reduced the tuxes, encouraged agri
culture and in reality transformed his
small dominion.
His Work Endorsed.
Such work did not escape the notice of
Gregory nor Of the cardinals then high I
power in the church, and Mgr. Peccl
was recalled to Rome nnd thence cent as
governor to Spoleto. Perugia was then the
hotbed of tha secret tocleties, relics left by
the Napoleonic wars. But he ruled and
conquered In Perugia as he had in Bene
vento he won the people and practically
abolished the political secret societies by
giving the people the reforms of which they
only talked. He reformed the town coun
cils, opened schools, established ravings
banns, and lawlessness was put down,
seemingly without mercy, but in fact only
with simple justice.
' Again came the summons to repair to
Rome, this time to receive the episcopal
ring and the piolntn;ent at Si years of ago
of nuncio, or papal ambassador, to the
kingdom of Belgium. No longer a governor,
but an accomplished scholar, a wit, a
gentleman In every serse of the word, he
again successfully accomplished, his mis
sion and at the same time made such an
extremely favorable impression upon the
Belgian court that Leopold Jn a letter to
Gregory spoke strongly of Mgr. Pecel's
ability as a diplomat and urged that he be
made a cardinal. In Belgium he over
came the opposltlcn to Catholics in the
I'arllpmerit by reforming the Catholic
schools until more and better work was
done in them than in the non-Catholic in
stitutions. - He next visited England. Ireland End
France, In which countries he met all the
important and Influential personages, and
was recognized not alone for what he had
done, but for what the future seemed to
hold fof him. In England he was pre
sented to Queen Victoria. Again to Rome
and so. far as the great world was con
cerned to retirement a retirement possibly
foreordained to better flt him for the still
greater work to come. The i;lty magistrates,
the nobility snd the clergy petitioned the
Holy See In 1846, upon the. death of their
bishop, that Mgr. Peccl be sent to Perugia.
The petition was granted end (here, first
ss bishop and as archbishop, and after
February 26, 1854, as cardinal, the future
pope remained for thirty-two years. But
they were by no means years of Idleness,
for not only was the troublesome diocese
of Perugia governed In such a manner as
to-make Its bishop the most popular one,
both among Catholics and non-Catholics, of
any who had occupied the see. but during
them appeared Mgr. Pecel's numerous let
ters and papers which were of material
benefit to the church snd which brought to
him added fnme.
His Last Call to none,
In 1877 ror the last time Mgr. peocl was
called to Rome, for It waa to receive at the
hands of Plua IX the appointment of cam
ei lingo, which office gives its occupant
charge of the temporalities of the cl iiroh,
and special and peculiar offices and duties
upon the death of the reigning pontiff.
And Cardinal ' Peccl waa soon called upon
to perform them, for on February 7, 1878,
Plus' IX died, and twelve days ' later
Joachim Peccl was elected to the highest
office possible to be reached In the spirit
ual or religious world of which he had been ,
so conspicuous a part; a world which to
him was always a living, breathing world,
one of which he said: "The Church of
Christ la tied to no corpse but the Corpse
on the cross."
On February 18, 1878, the conclave as
sembled to elect a supreme pontiff, and at
noon two days later, February 20, the third
ballot showed 44 out of 62 votes In favor of
Cardinal Peoci. Cardinal Francl, the de
feated candidate for the office, at once
threw hlmaelf on his knees before Cardinal
Peccl, proclaiming him pope and asking
his blessing. All the other members of the
conclave did ths same, so that he was
elected both by ballot and acclamation,
lie at once took the name of Leo XIII.

Problems for His Holiness.
A new day had dawned for the Catholic
church, and with it a new, virile and vital
fores had been projected into the affairs
of the world. Nowhere can be found a
more Interesting page of the church's his
tory than the one the writing .of which
was finished yesterday. Not less a priest,
but all a man, Leo XIII immediately grap
pled with the problems confronting him
and with the hand and mind of a trained
master solved them.
First camethe struggle with G rmany,
and Bismarck found it to his advantage to
cultivate the friendship and yield to ths

demands of this new force, which In unmis
takable words and with undoubted power
denounced socialism, which at that time
was almost menacing the new German em
pire, and the almost autocratic power given
it by the Iron Chancellor.
An Important Incident early In Leo's
pontificate was the reception. In February,
1879, of deputations representing Catholic
journals and newspapers all over tho world.
To them he outlined his policy and ttl
course which should be pursued by them
on behalf of the church. A short time aft
erwards he threw open to the world tho
Vatican library, thoussnds of the manu
scripts and books of which ars not dupli
cated In any collection In ths world. Tha
same year, during the famine In Ireland,
he further endeared ths people of that
country to Rome by the position hs took
in their behalf.
In 1880 Leo reopened relations with the
Russian court and not only thereby greatly
benefited his fellow church people In the
czar's dominions, but brought about . a
better understanding between the schis
matics and the church. In Turkey, and In
Japan, his influence wss also felt about
this time, and always to the advantage of
the church. '

Fee of Anarchy, Frlead of Freedom.
As a consistent and unrelenting foe of
anarchy, wherever !t might be found, and as
a powerful end constant idvocate of peace,
Leo XIII was probably as greatly admired
and loved by those not of his communion
as those acknowledging his spiritual fath
erhood. His position on governments waa
well and plainly sh.iwn by his letter to the
o'sl-ops of France about fifteen years ago,
in which he said: "The church should hold
Itself aloof from all militant politics and
should occupy Itself exclusively with, sub
jects of lofty morality and with ths task of
spreading morality among the masses or
the people. Moreover, It is our duty to
recognize established forms of government,
especially when they have been established
by the free consent of a majority of 'the
citizens." , -, '
In all his dealings with governments pf
tho world Leo XITI maintained the position
above outlined. His admiration and Inter
est In the United States, a government "es
tnl'lished by the free consent of a majority
of the citizens," was undisguised and won
for him the title of "the great democrat of
the agfc. That he believed In republican
forms of government and that ths people
of the world have been advancing, and
rightly so. toward self-government was
shown by him on numerous occasions.
Personal Appearance aad Habits. V
In person Leo XIII was tall and Slender,
with snow white hair. Of late years, owing
to extreme age. his face was the hue of
wax and his hands trembled so that he
could scsrcely affix his signature to official
papers. His expression was always kindly,
though his eyes were piercing and he could,
If need be, make men juall with a glance.
His wit. In both youth and age, was always
quick and keen, but rarely, out of consid
eration for those about him, did It wound
But probably his most pronounced personal
characteristic, and one which remained with
him all during life, was a charming
j courtesy to which all those who came In
contact with him hore witness.
In his own habits Leo XIII was almost
more than rugal, while with ether, or In
any -cause which appealed to him, he was
generous snd open-handed. Examples of
this were his large contrinutions ior me
suDprtssIon of slavery In Africa, for Slav
ery In any form or In any country he ab
horred and denounced, and his contributions
to countries where ths thurch Is not self-
supporting.
His chief recreation for many years wss
ths composition of poems in Lstln and of
them It may be said that they alone would
have won him fame among scholars. From
an autobiography In Latin verse some of
the acts here given of his early life, were
talren.
February 19. 1893. Leo XIII celebrated
the fiftieth, or golden, anniversary of his
consecration as a bishop of the church. It
was a celebration In which not only the en
tire Catho'lc world Joined, but which waa
recognized all ovef the world, and by the
great powers of t. In the form or messages
of congratulation and presents, without re
