At th name mutant that Jhe attack waa made upon the royal palace the other vic tim were assassinated In their homes. There were no fewer than 150 officer In the plot, more than enough for the murders. In addition the whole of the Sixth Infantry was detailed to act as a guard against In terruption. When It waa alt over offlcera rode through the Streets proclaiming that the king and queen had been killed, but few of the peo ple were about and few knew anything of the tragedy, till thin morning, when they received the news quietly, many accepting It with Joy. Intmrnse crowdi gathered about the paUce and In the principal squares, notwithstanding- 'the pouring rain, but there waa really little exjftement considering the Importance of the event and the tragedy of It. Crowds of students ran through the afreets shoutirg, "Long live King Karageorgevitch!" The soldier took the king's monogram from their caps and replaced it with flowers and sprigs of green. There seemed to be neither sorrow nor opposition on the part of the people. Major Luka Lasarewics proudly claims to have fired the bullet that killed his queen, while Captain Jwkowll and Captain Gltochltck Claim equal honors for killing the king.. King Alexander had looked upon his assassins unafraid, and the queen, too, had summoned courage to support her in the face of death. But when she saw the leader of the party, Colonel Michln, the brother Of her' first husband, whom she had married when she was 17, and who had divorced her because of her relations with Alexander, she turned her head away. In an -Incredibly -short- time after the tragedy, so quickly, indeed, that it seemed part of a machine-made plan, a new gov ernment, was" formed -And the " following proclamation was' Issued: Te the Servian People: Last night the king and queen were shot. In this grave and fateful movement friends of the Fatherland have combined to form a new government. While the government makes this announcement to. the people, It Is convinced that tne Servian people will gather around it and lend It their aid to maintain ordei and aecurlty throughout th land. The government hereby makes known that from today the constitution of April t,t 1901, comes In force.

Prince Karageorgevitch, has wired from Geneva saying that he Is greatly astoniahed at the news, which he learned from a private dispatch, but not Indicating whether he will accept the pre ferred throne, although he ' has been a pretender for years. .The immediate cause of the revolution was the return to Belgrade of Lieutenant LUnjevlta, brother of the queen, and a apposed candidate for the throne. The surviving ministers have been arrested. The obsequies of the king and queen will be held on June 14. .Intense Joy prevails. ,The career of the Obrenovltch dynasty wm closed on the same day of the year on which Prince Michael was murdered thirty-five years ago In the park of Toph scolder, near Belgrade.

An uprising led by a relative In March of lost year was abortive. ' Recently the dissatisfaction of the army, whose pay was In arrears, and the personal unpopularity of the king and queen, gave the opening long sought. The first active step ' Was revealed on June 3, when the Freij''h cook attached to the palace com mitted suicide after declaring that he had teen forced under threats of assassination to promise to poison, the king and queen. It took little to turn the army, against the reigning dynasty, as neither officers nor men had received any pay for a long time. The populace, too, had been made hostile by Alexander's marriage to Draga. EMBRACES QUEEN IN DEATH Ofllrlal Blory Says Alexander Died Clasping Draga to Hint. (Copyright. 190. by Press Publishing Co.)

We should regard the subservance of the Servians to the old Karageoi gevltoh dy nasty as quite natural and would approve It under the present circumstances, as this step oftqrs the most promising solution for the peace and crder of the country.. . A prominent Austrian war offfbial is re ported as saying, that, Austria will only have to Intervene lit Servia If the disor ders extend over the border Into Bosnia and Herxgovnla. While the murders at Belgrade,, continued the official, must be regretted, it is probable the diplomats of eaatern Europe i have cause to feel easier in their minds,', as, King Alexander's po sition hod become untenable and the days of his reign were numbered. As there Is now .no pretender to the throne from the Obrenovltch family, it may be expected that Servia will have an op portunity to recover from the disorders whloh have troubled- It recently and h. come a less tlkquletmg factor In the uaiKan situation. A dispatch received by the Austrian for elgn office this afternoon announcta that tho Servian' parliament, which has been summoned for June' 13, will' only elect Prince Peter Karageorgevitch king in the event -of Austria and Russia not opposing such a step. Austria would not 'object, for although the prince was the avowed enemv cf Austria, he has recently given' repeated assurances that lit the: event of his Coming to the throne of Servia he was desirous of living amicably with Austria.

Ordnance Sergeant William I Allison, stationed at Fort Crook, Neb., has applied for retirement, having complete! forty years' continuous service on the 9th lnt. Eergeant Allison Is a well known soldier about Omaha, where h has been stationed for more than twenty years. Ho enlisted June 9, 1863, In the First California volunteers. On being mustered out after the close of th war he discovered that life in the army suited him better than follow ing a plow, which he left to serve his coun try. He re-enllsted seventeen days later and became a member of Company K, Ninth Infantry. In this organization he remained, without the loss of a single day's duty, until May 8, 1S85, when his appoint ment as ordnance sergeant followed. In this grade he has since served. He held every noncommissioned rank In his com pany, being appointed, from first sergeant. He was never on the sick list report for a single day of his service, never tried by court-martial. It is doubtful whether this record can be excelled by any man now in the army. Seargeant Allison was recently ordered to the Philippines, but he preferred retirement. He very much dislikes to sever his connection with the army, with which he has teen Identified for forty years. HYMENEAL Schur man-Carroll. FREMONT. Neb., June 11. (Special.)
