April 14. The young King Alexander I. , who has heretofore ruled fciorvin through a regency pending the at tainment of his majority , last night executed a bloodless coup d'etat and today rules In his own person. For many months affairs in Servia have * tccn In a critical situation owing to the nbuso of their power by the regents nnd Hta to officials. Young Alexander determined to put an cud to It and accordingly made all arrangements secretly. Last night ho Invited the regents and others to a banquet. \Vhilo it was In progress detachments of oldlcrs and policemen took possession of the government bulldlnir and the ministers houses. Though still more than n year short of his majority , Alexander at midnight rose , declared that ho hail become of ago nnd had assumed the government of the country. The deposed regents and ministers wcro dumtnfoundi'd. The soldiers In waiting at once placed them under arrest and took them to rooms prepared for them In the palace , where they are under guard. The army Is loyal to the young king and received his accession with Joyous acclamations. The Icing has apnolntcd a new ministry. The king this morning Issued a dccreo dis solving the SUuptcluna and issued writs for a now election. He attended the To Doum In honor of his accession to the throne , and was loudly cheered by the populace on the way home. It Win Very Simple. The details of the coup d'etat wcro wired out with remarkable swiftness and sim plicity. The regents and cabinet ministers responded to an invitation to dine In the old palace last evening. Eight were seated at dinner , the king presiding. After the tltird course the king rose and said to the regents : "Gentlemen : For four years you , in my name , have administered the kingly power. I thank you heartily for the trouble you linvo taitcn. I now feel able to administer the power myself , and will exercise it from this moment. I beg .vou , therefore , im mediately to baud mo your resignations. " Si. Kistlca replied that ho could not and , would not comply with the king's request which was contrary to the constitution. The king thereupon left the room and sent nn lUdo-do-camp to demand the resignations of the ministers. As they all remained ob durate , ho ordered them lo leave the palace nnd go to the now palace to pass the night. In the morning they wcro conveyed to their residences under guard. Tonight the king's assumption of power was celebrated with a torchlight procession and general illumina tions. The course taken by the young King Alex ander will generally bo attributed to the in llueiicoofhis father and mother , ex-ICiug Milan and Queen Natalie , who have been reconciled after many years of discord. The coup d'etat Is simply the revival of the roya ! supremacy which iuul been Jirst weakened by the separation of Milan and Natalie and seriously Impaired by the abdication ol Milan and the subsequent troubles In which the country was plunged largely as a result nf the weakness of the crown. U'lll lluvn IIiivo No lluil KITfct. The None Frel I'resso expresses confidence that the Servian coup d'etat will have no tcrious consequences. Austarla , It says , has Ho cause-to disapprove the action of the young king , who was probably Influenced hi Ills parents and not by Kusshi. . A dispatch frani Uelgrado says : "When King Alexander announced the dismissal of the regents nnd ministers , Uegent Ileli markovlch rushed up to the king and pro tested violently against the king's action Colonel Tehirlch , the king's altio , Intornosei nnd a violent passage at urms ensued between twoen the regent and the officer. M. Doklstch , the new prime minister , was King Alexander's tutor. Ho Is a tadlca with moderate views. Ux-ltliiK Milan' * Miivumontft. Buiu PCSTII , April 14.

There wcro renewed conflicts with the strikers hero this morning They throw stones and bottles at the polici nnd several were hurt. The strikers an gaining ground. In the district of Mons tin ultuatlon is assuming a serious aspect. The strikers are going about looting houses , j detachment of soldiers have been sent t suppress the rioters. The | Klico made a vain attempt this evening ing to disperse an enormous crowd outside the Peoples hall , The crowd resisted stub "Uornly and many workingmen were wounded Great crowds afterwards gathered in vari ous parts of the city. Tradesmen becam panty stricken and closed their shops. Mounted gendarmes made repeated charges on the crowds. Many persons were seriousli injured by being trampled under horses' feet , A mob In the Hue do la Vloluttoextlnguishei all the street lamps and attacked the polio in the dark. A number of shots were ex changed and some blood was shed. Sovera newspapers have been compelled to suspcm publication because of their compositor ! having Joined the strikers. Most of tin theaters have closed their doors. Tlio enttn civic guard has been ordered under arms an the regular troops are confined to their bar racks in readiness for any emergency. A fooling of dread prevails everywhere. It is somewhat lessened , however , by the belief that the rioters would have no chance against an armed force. UojKjrts of disorders continue to come In from the provinces. A veritable baltlo was fought in Ixmvalu today. Tno gendarmes became powerless to cone with the strikers and the authorities had to call on the troops to preserve order. The Knights of Labor of Charleroi have ordered an immediate general strike. Dur ing the rioting in one of the streets of this city tonight , the occupants of a certain shop polled the gendarmes with wino glasses and bottles. A detachment of gendarmes ordered to arrest the inmates forced an entrance into the shop , dealing out blows indis criminately with their rlllcs , while other gendarmes stood at the door and struck with their swords these who tried to escape. Many of the Inmates received serious wounds and nine wcro taken to the hospital. A dispatch received from Llego this evenIng - Ing says that the strike there has ended and that all the mines are fully manned. > A desperate encounter took place tonight between strikers and the police at Wasmul. IVenty-soven of thu strikers were arrested. OAIM'KK'S AKJU.UiXl' ( . lie Continue MU ' ' * I'roiuntutlou of America' * Sldo ( if the llerlnc St'lt Clle. PAUIS , April 14. Carter continued his argument in behalf of the United States this morning before the Bering sea arbitration court. After quoting the ukase of I SSI , Mr. Car ter contended that practically no limit of protection existed , and that seizures could not bo effected. The three mlle limit , ho said , was not observed as absolutely in the tlmo of peace as in , war. As necessary for the protection of the seal industry he main tained the search and seizure of vessels are Justified. Mr. Carter then preceeded to quote from the decision of Chief Justice Marshall , to the Affect that the right of seizure and search ras not limited to three miles. Mr. Carter r ld he had no doubt that Great Britain ad mitted this theory. Sir Charles Hussoll , counsel for Great Britain , Intimated that Great Britain hold a contrary opinion. Niff.

Ahlwardt failed to pre sent In the Uolchstag , as ho promised , doc uments implicating high German officials In fraud against the government. Subsequently Ahlwardt offered to present the documents if a special committee bo ap pointed to examine them. The president replied that Ahlwardt must bring the matter before the house cither by motion or petition. Ahlwardt then went around among the so cialist numbers , endeavoring to secure their support to a motion for tlio appointment of a special committee to examine Ills alleged In criminating documents. It Is the general opinion among the mem bers of the house that the documents Ahl- wardt says will prove his charges will con tain as little proof as did these recently pre sented , and it is highly probable that ho will fail to get the house to waste time look ing over them. _ Predict * uu Awful DilJ' .

TAKES THE BIT IN HIS TEETH Mr StulilH Will Ilnvo Ills Own \Vny or I > u- cliiro VA'ur. * The muddle in railroad rates has been further complicated by the action of J. C. Stubbs , third vlco president of the Southern Pacific , who has asked permission of the freight rate committee to make a further re duction on the old rates on account of ocean competition. If his request is not granted he says ho will make the rates anyhow ana let the other companies look out for them selves. Of course , this can only bo construed in one way , a declaration of war on the part of the Southern Pacific against the water line and if inaugurated promises to bo one of the bitterest fought freight wars in the history of transcontinental railroads. The report made current by the Chicago Herald that the Southern Paclllc and Santa Fe had effected an arrangement whereby the former was to control thu westbound business and the latter road the castbound , is too visionary to be credited by railroad men understanding the situation. While the two roads have many points in common the Santa Fo has the added advantage of a di rect line to Chicago , and as It has promul gated the tariff as agreed upon at Santa Bar bara , Gil. , the likelihood of such a combina tion Is hardly within the ranuo of possibili ties. ties.On On the other baud , the Southern Pacific is greatly handicapped by tlio ocean lines and rather than go out of the freight rate business to eastern points almost entirely means to light and the other roads , having little sympathy with the water lins , will undoubtedly give the Southern Pacific privilege to go ahead and "to" ! the steam ship company. At the suggestion of the Southern Pacific , which has always been con servative so far as freight rates are concerned , a meeting of all' the transcontin ental lines has been called to meet at St. Paul April 19 , when it. 'is ' thought the southern and northern lines bidding for transcontinental business will finally agree upon one tariff covering the whole country instead of a di vided sheet as now. World's I'nlr Kiitn * . The committee of the Western Passenger association which was considering the ques tion of World's fair rates agreed upon rates and will report in favor of one faro for the round trip of the regu lar rate , less 20 per cent , and nothing to be sold at less than 'J cents per mllo. This is the same faro adopted by the Central Traftlc and other associations. This rate , however , will have no bearing upon the tariff from points west of the Missouri river , applying only to the old Western Passenger association territory. Hallway Notes. A message from Mr. Dickinson states that ho is very much better , having had an at tack of the grip. The transcontinental lines and these of the Western Freight association have not reached an agreement and have about given up all hope of ever doing so. A meeting to consult the Northern Pacific coast lines will bo held in St. Paul April 1'J. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Chicago & Grand Trunk road in Chi- cairo it was decided to execute a third mortgage upon the company's road and other property to secure an issue of bonds to the amount of f(5,000,000 ( to cover indebtedness already created in equipping and completing the road. Although the through passenger business on the Missouri Pacific is 20 per cent less than the corresponding time last year , the local business has largely in creased , duo to the Nebraska train which was put on last fall from Nebraska City and Auburn to Omaha. It meets the want of a largo section of the country and Omaha Is brought into closer relationship with the country than over before through this train.

A meeting of south sldo citizens was held at Mctz hall last nlirht to protest against the action of the council in taking the . ' 0,000 from the south sldo park fund and placing that amount to the fund for the improve ment of parks. After a long debate the following resolu tion was passed : That "It is the sense of this meeting of south side citizens that the park commissioners should select a site for a parit substantially as follows : Commencing with the boulevard on Bancroft street at a point between Sixth and Ninth streets and extending in a southerly direction to a point between the Sautcr and Murray tracts , a distance of about a quarter of a mile , to a iiark site to bo taken by acquiring a tract of land of Sauter , Pontag nnd Sack , together with another four-acre tract adjoining , and I that portion of the Clark tract west of the i railway tracks and any portion of the Mur . ray land deemed necessary to complete the park , along with a boulevard connecting with Thirteenth street , near Garfield street. " CD In compliance with a resolution the chair appointed the following committee to press the South end claims : Messrs. Schroder , Kasper , Hanchott , Stuht. Bortrand , Butler , O'Kcofoand Brcnnan. This same committee will look after the South park fund which they think has been unlawfully transferred to the general park fund. Sewers and grading in that part of town were also talked over , but no action taken. Piles of people have piles , but Do Witt's Witchllazcl Salvo will cure them lona't ICicnrtlnc IMItori.

' SOME PENSION STATISTICS. InterpntlnKT OotnlM of the SyHtcin us Ile- latuil by n Spi-e-liil Kznmlnor. Mr. J. Stiles , special pension examiner for Nebraska , was in Omaha yesterday and in conversation with a reporter disclosed some interesting facts in regard to pensions and pensioners. * "It would probably surpiiso you , " he said "to know that wo are still carrying on the pension list pensioners of the war of 1813. Two or three years ago the department made an effort to examine all these pensions with a view to finding out if there were not some of them that were not legitimate , as the list seemed to bo unreasonably large. We found that , lu the main , they were all right , but most of the pensioners were the widows and the children of the votcr/ans. Many of the veterans of that war , and of all our wars , married a second and some a third time , leaving widows much younger than they were and they have been drawing the pen sions since the death of their husbands. "How soon do you think there will begin to bo a decided falling off in the amount of money paid out for pensions ! " "Well , within the next tlfteen to twenty years there is sure to come a great reduction in the pension expenditures , The death rate among veterans is becoming very heavy and the widows also are passing away at a rapid rate. Of course the children of some of them will continue to draw the pensions of their fathers for a long timn , but many of them have no children and the list of pen sioners will soon begin to fade rapidly away. " "How many cases do you look up in Ne braska in a year ; " "I average about ISO cases a year. The cases that wo are called upon to examine are mostly those where there seem to lie good and Just grounds for the issuance of a pension but the parties are unable to furnish the necessary proof. In many cases they are too poor to pay the expense of hunting up the necessary proofs , and as many of the parties have died who know the facts boar- upon the cases it becomes a difllciilt matter for them to establish their claims , although they may bo very deserving. Then wo look into some cases wliero fraud is suspected ana occasionally wo detect fraud and save the government from imposition. The cases of attempted fraud are not so frequent , however , as many people suspect. There are a great many more cases where worthy parties are unable to produce the necessary proof of their claims'than where there is on attempt to perpetrate fraud. " .
