The ether countries apparently were will inz to recognize Kins Peter, but not the Servian cabinet in which Colonel 3Iichhn. one of the chief conspirators, holds a portfolio.

TO BE A RULER II FACT With Loud Applause the People Greet Him as He Kisses the Holy Soak Is Now the Ruler of All the Ser vians. BELGRADE It was remarked on all sides Thursday that King Peter seemed hourly to assume a more com manding attitude, and that he gains a firmer grasp on affairs. His de meanor when he took the oath and the expression on his face showed masterfulness and his intention to be a""kmg in" fact, "as well as in name, ruling unflinchingly as well as justly. The demonstrations Wednesday even ing apparently convinced him that he is not merely the elect of the military or a civilian faction, but that he had the people at his back. The proceed ings Thursday were marked by solem nity The old parliament building, s. bare, bam-like strucrure, with fiimsy decorations, was crowded with repre sentatives, official, clergy and civilian spectators, who loudly cried. "Long live the King," as he appeared. The king glanced sharply almost sternly, at the deputies, some of whom were in peasant garb, while others were dress ed in the height of western fashion. Taking a seat in front of the throne. over which his own portrait hung, the king watched with calm assurance for the ceremony to begin. Lighted candles had been placed on a table in rront of the king, on which also rested a nchly-bound 3ible, the text of the oath on engrossed parch ment, and the jeweled cross. King Peter stood erect while the metropolitan proceeded with the reli gious ceremony, the responses to which were chanted by the presby ters. When the prayers were ended, the king kissed the Bible, and then took the oath. When he had finished, his majesty advanced amid profound silence cf the assemblage and signed his name to the document. A frenzy of cheers followed. The king again kissed the Bible and the cross proffer ed by the metropolitan and without the slightest relaxation of the stern lines of his face, turned quickly en his heel and walked out to his carriage, amid salvos of cheers, which also greeted him as he passed through the streets to the parade grounds, where the troops were awaiting. !

HURRY THE GASES NOTE TO ATTORNEY GENERAL THE PRESIDENT URGES POST OFFICE PROSECUTIONS. Chief Executive Suggests that if Necessary Special Lawyer Be Named to Probe Scandal and Secure Conviction of the Guilty. WASHINGTON. The president has sent the following letter to the at torney general: "WHITE HOUSE. June 22. 1303. Sir: As you know, the charges in connection with the postoffice depart ment are now being investigated by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bnstow, who has placed at his dis posal by the postmaster general every resource of the department, including the services of Mr. Robb. whom you detailed from the department of jus- uce to the postoffice department im mediately after the removal of Mr. , Tyner. As a result of tnis investigation a number of indictments have already been found and it is probable that other indictments will be hereafter asked for. There can be no greater offense against the government than a breach or trust on the part of a public official or the dishonest man agement of his ofiice. and. of course, every effort must be exerved to bring offenders to punishment by the utmost rigor of the law. "The district attorney cf the Dis trict of Columbia has faithfully and zealously seconded the effo-ts of the postoffice department m this matter, but the amount of work in the office is such as to make it difficult, with out neglecting other important public duties, to devote all the time neces sary to the prosecution of these cases. "I suggest, therefore, that if you cannot detail some of your present staff, you appoint special assistants in these postoffice cases, not only to take up the cases in which indictments have been found or hereafter may be found, but to examine mcu all charges that have been made against officials in the postal service, with a view to the removal and prosecution of all guilty men in the service and the pros ecution of guilty men. whether m the service or not, where the cases are not barrea by the statute of limita tions. Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Carrying out the president's sug gestion. Attorney General Knox has appointed Charles Bonaparte of Bain- mere a special attorney to assist in these prosecutions, and on his return here Mr. Holmes Conrad, former solic itor gsneraL "soil be tendered z like ap pointment. Postmaster Payne has taken official cognizance of Mr. Madden's letter re garding criticisms of the contract for supplying carbon paper to the service. Mr. Payne conferred with his assist ants on the subject. Subsequently he declined to say whether any reply had been seat to Mr Madden and a simi lar reticence was observed by those who were in accord with Mr. Payne. Six Skeletons Washed Up. TOPEKA Six human skeletons were found in a hole washed cut by the water just west cf North Tapeka. They are net the remains cf fiood vic tims, as the evidences wnlch they bear dearly show, and how they came to be there is a mystery to all who have seen them. They were evidently buried there by some one. and un earthed by the water, which washed out a huge hele, in which the bones were found. Unrfeed States Minister Leaves. 1 WASHINGTON, D. C.
