HORROR IS NOW IN OREGON! Town Whelmed by Cloudburst and Hundreds Find Watery Grave. VOL. XVIII. HORROR IS NO Town Whelmed b Hundreds Find MAY REACH FIVE HUNDRED Gigantic Avalanche of Water Swooped Down Upon Victims Without Warning. One-Third of Population of Little Vill age of Heppner Sent to Their Doom—Besides the Dead, Over Two Hundred are Injured—A Diro Calamity. Following a cloudburst, a wall of water 20 feet high rushed down the gulch of Willow creek at dusk Sunday and urowned nearly half of 1,250 inhabitants of the little village of Heppner, Oregon. The furious water carried the residence part of Heppner away. So great was the force of the water that bewilders weighing a ton were rolled along the gulch, crushing everything in their path. Wires, bridges and railroads were swept away and complete reports have not been received. The most reliable reports, however, say that the loss of life at Heppner will be at least 500, though the number of dead probably is larger. A report from June, 17 miles from Heppner, says that 300 bodies carried there by the flood have been recovered. The flood came with such suddenness that the inhabitants were unable to seek places of safety and were carried down to death by the awful rush of water. Some of the business part of Heppner, which is on the high ground, escaped. Early in the afternoon a thunder storm occurred, covering a wide region of country, and later a heavy rainstorm set in, many of the small streams overflowing their banks in a short time. Bridges were swept away like straw, and the darkness of the night soon made the situation more appalling. As soon as possible after the flood subsided the work of relief was begun by the surviving residents. Dozens of bodies were found lodged along the bends of the stream, and in several places they were piled two or three deep. Up to 2 o'clock Monday afternoon 200 bodies had been recovered within the town. Many of the buildings which were not carried away were moved from their foundations or toned over. Hundreds of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, that had gone into the creek bottoms for water, perished. As soon as possible news was sent by courier to the nearby town asking relief for the stricken people. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company started a relief train, with doctors and supplies, from The Dalles shortly after noon with a party of 100, including three doctors, four nurses and supplies of all kinds. At 1:30 o'clock Monday afternoon a relief train, with doctors and supplies, started for the scene from Portland. The citizens of Portland started a relief fund as soon as the news of the disaster spread over the city, and within a few hours $5,000 was raised. Supplies will be rushed to Heppner. Fifteen buildings in Lexington, 9 miles below Heppner, on Willow creek, were washed away, but no loss of life, the inhabitants having time to save themselves from the surging torrent. At Ione, 17 miles away, damage was done to buildings, though no loss of life is reported. All Houses Swept Away. Heppner is situated in the narrow valley of Willows creek. Advices to The Portland Chronicle stated that a great storm was raging Sunday afternoon at 5:30 and a cloudburst occurred a short distance above Hepp- TERROR REIGNS IN JACKSON. People of the Town New Fear Flames as Well as Bullets. The second wee kof court in Breathitt county, Kentucky, opened at Jackson, Monday, with a reign of terror. One term of court was overlapping another. While the petit jury continued hearing testimony in the murder, cases of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, the grand jury was hearing evidence in the cases of Josepr Crawford and Edward Tharpe, teamsters for the Hargis brothers, who are held on the charge of arson for burning the Ewen hotel. The Savannah ner and a wall of water like the Columbia river rushed down the valley. Had No Warning. The roar of the storm desensed the roar of the water and the people had no warning of the oncoming flood. Suddenly it rushed through the town, sweeping houses from their foundation and drowning the people in the wrecks of their own homes, the dead bodies and wreckage being borne down the valley. Scores are still unaccounted for. The food subsided quickly. The railway, telegraph and telephone lines were badly damaged in the valley. At Heppner the residents suffered most, though the business section was flooded. The county authorities are taking care of the sufferers. Besides the dead from 100 to 200 people are reported injured. JEWS CRY TO ROOSEVEL. Prominent Delegates from the B'Nal Brith Call at White House and Present Grievances. Through their representative association, B'Nal Brith, the Jews of America, Monday morning, laid the case before President Roosovelt and Secretary Hay. By appointment at half past 10 o'clock, the executive council of the association called at the state department. They were Leo N. Levy, president, of New York; Jacob Furt, vice president and treasurer, of Cleveland; Solomon Sulzberger, honorary secretary, New York; Joseph D. Coons, Wilkesbarre, Pa.; Adolph Moses, Chicago, and Simon Wolf, of Washington. Secretary Hay received the council and spent three-quarters of an hour listening to their representations and commenting upon them. Then the secretary escorted his callers to the white house, where they were received by President Roosevelt and again set out their views and listened to what he had to say in reply. The interviews with both the president and Secretary Hay were extremely satisfactory to the council, although it soon became apparent that positive action could not immediately be had upon the betterment of the condition of Jews in Russia. HAD PISTOL DURING TRIALS. Surprised Jailer at Elizabeth City. A special from Elizabeth City, N.C., says: Jim Wilcox, twice convicted of the murder of Nellie Cropsy, left the city Monday in charge of Sheriff F. T. Winslow, to begin his thirty years' sentence in the penitentiary at Raleigh. Previous to the arrival of the officers at the jail, he offered to sell the jailer a pistol, and, to the latter's amazement, took a thirty-eight caliber revolver from his pocket and fired three shots, then gave it to the jailer. He claims that he carried this pistol during both trials. It was fastened to his leg by his garter. SERVIANS ELECT NEW KING. Without a Ripple of Excitement, Peter of Jaw-Breaking Name, installed. With scarcely the excitement which marsk an ordinary fete day in the capital, Servia Monday instituted a new dynasty. Within less than two hours from the time of meeting in the wing of the royal palace where King Alexander and his queen were shot down, the senate and skupstina, in joint session, had legally and with due formality elected Prince Peter Karageorgeovitch king of Servia. Reward Offered for Cornwall The governor of Alabama has offered a reward of $300 for the arrest and delivery to Jefferson county jail of the defaulting Bessemer bank president, T. J. Cornwall, of Bessemer. WANT FRANCHISE LAW PROBED New York Republican Club Asks Congress to Make Investigation. At a meeting Monday night the Republican Club of New York took up the negro question and adopted resolutions urging congress to make speedy and thorough investigation into the conditions in the south where suffrage is abridged in violation of the amendments to the constitution of the United States and demanding that measures be taken at once to render these amendments effective. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1903. MRS. TANNER BOUND OVER. Young Woman Must Answer to Charge of Poisoning Husband The commitment trial of Mrs. Onie Tanner occupied the entire day at Galnesville, Ga., Saturday, in justice court, and the room was packed from the opening at 9 o'clock until the conclusion of the hearing at 5:30 in the afternoon, when the defendant was bound over to the superior court to answer to the charge of poisoning her husband on May 23 at their home in Clinchem district. A majority of the citizens of Clinchem district were present, either as witnesses or as interested spectators, and every word of the vast amount of testimony was cagely listened to. Especially was the testimony of State Chemist McCandless given close attention, as he went into details of the analysis he made of the stomach and vessels from which milk was poured. John Tanner, father of the young man who died, was the first witness, and he was put through an examination lasting for two hours. His testimony recited the details of his son's death, the conversation with Mrs. Onie Tanner relating thereto, and the investigations made by him into the cause of his son's death. He reiterated the confession Mrs. Tanner is alleged to have made to him and went into details as to when and how the alleged confession was made. Various other witnesses testified, but no new sensational evidence was brought out. At the conclusion of the argument in the case, Justice Dorsey bound Mrs. Tanner over to the superior court, holding that she was either guilty of murder or was as innocent as a babe, there being no middle ground upon which a compromise verdict could be reached and he deemed this the proper course for the case to take. Mrs. Tanner was taken to the county jail soon after the case was concluded. She was not placed in a cell, but was allowed the privilege of one of the rooms down stairs, in the building occupied by the sheriff's family. SUICIDED WITH DYNAMITE. Love-Lorn Crane Blows Himself to Quilty Breeding Rescue Scratch Quick Doom in a Passenger Coach. Joseph L. Crane, who resides at Rossville, Ga., committed suicide on a Central of Georgia train near Lafayette, Ga., Saturay afternoon about four o'clock in a most unusual manner. He went into the toilet room and there exploded a stick of dynamite, which frightfully mangled his body and blew out the rear end of the train. There was no one sitting near at the time and Crane was the only person on the train that suffered. Crane boarded the train at Cedartown, and was seemingly all right until Trion was reached. Here he was heard to say: "I am going to blow this train up and kill everybody." No particular attention was paid to him and in a few moments the man retired to the gentlemen's closet with a small satchel in his hand. Soon a deafening report was heard and for a few moments the most intense excitement prevailed. Investigation disclosed the fact that the man had exploded a dynamite shell in the closet, fearfully mangling his body and shattering the sides of the closet and a portion of a side of the car.

I am willing to die, perfectly willing, and hope I will meet my dear grandmothers and fathers and my dear mother and father in heaven. God bless and be with you all row and forever is my hearty prayer. JOSEPH M. CRANE." LEVEE GUARD KILLED. Riot Occurs In East St. Louis and Soldier Loses His Life. Shortly before midnight Saturday night a riot occurred in the eastern portion of East St. Louis, resulting in the killing of Clifford Hanley, of St. Louis, a member of the naval reserves, and in the arrest of John S. Bratton, a breeder of fine horses. Word was received in East St. Louis that a bang was at work cutting the levee near the Bratton stock farm. A crowd rushed to the scene and a riot followed. A company of naval reserves was hurried to the spot. Oyer a hundred shots were fired. GOD IS GIVEN PRAISE In Church of Servian Capital for Work of Assassins. A "TE DEUM" RENDERED Words of Prelate Gives Pleasure to Assassins Present—Deputation of Officials Go to Geneva After King Peter. Tuesday's advices from Belgrade, Servia, were as follows: The town is perfectly calm and quiet is apparently assured. Guns boomed frequently during the day in honor of King Peter, and the church bells rang merrily. The portraits of the late King Alexander are being removed from the walls of public places. Workmen have been busy at the palace removing all signs of the tragedy and repairing the damages caused by flying bullets, preparatory to the installation of the new ruler. It appears very unlikely that any official account of the crime will be published. The absence of all expression of regret among the educated classes is most striking, and leads to the conclusion that either the assassinations were extremely popular or the Servians are the most impassive people in the world. As a matter of fact, the whole country is governed by a few men and in general the peasantry are ignorant of the cause of the change. A deputation of the two chambers, composed of four senators and twenty deputies, headed by the presidents of the two houses, left Belgrade by special train Monday night for Geneva to inform King Peter of his election to the throne. The officers who have been appointed to attend the king went on the same train. Te Deum for the Butchery. The chamber met at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and adjourned for the purpose of going to the cathedral, where a great thanksgiving service, including a "Te Deum" was celebrated. The ministers attended the service, which was carried out with all the gorgeous ceremonial of the Greek church. Half of the congregation was composed of army officers in full uniform. The ministers wore dress suits, and all their orders. The metropolitan, in a brief address, congratulated the nation on the restoration of the Karageorgeovitch dynasty, a dynasty which had included so many brave and noble men. While deploring the necessity for recent events, he thanked the army for what it had done and praised its behavior. The officers audibly expressed their pleasure at these remarks from the prelate, who concluded with invoking a blessing on King Peter and expressing the hope that under him Servia would enjoy peace and prosperity. Only a Royal Captive. The position of King Peter promises to be little more than that of a royal captive and the real government of the country will be a military dictatorship under the leaders of the revolution, Colonel Maschin and Colonel Mitschitch. The new king is almost without any personal adherents, and the ruling splits of the army, it is thought probable, would just as readily murder him as they did his predecessor, should he oppose their aims. At the present moment the whole country is under military rule. Minister Jackson Reports. The following cablegram was received at the state department Tuesday from United States Minister Jackson, at Belgrade, Servia: "Prince Karageorgeovitch has been elected king. Delegation to notify him has been selected. Perfect quiet prevails." Mr. Jackson, who went to Belgrade to present his credentials to the late King Alexander, will now be under the necessity of awaiting the arrival of fresh credentials from Washington directed to King Peter. COLLECTOR CRUM NOT IN. Was Called on to Play Host in His Official Capacity. Dr. W. D. Crum, Charleston's negro collector, was called on Tuesday to play host in his official capacity for the first time since he has been in office, but was not present to receive his and the nation's guests. The German cruiser Gazelle is off Charleston. Her commander, Count von Oriola, was paying official visits Tuesday. In person he called on Mayor Smith and he sent Captain Turk, of his staff down to the custom house to call on the collector. Dr. Crum was not in, and Captain Turk left a card. A GREAT PRODUCTION. The Original Paly's Last Days of Pompeil at Atlanta. In the great production of "The Last Days of Pompeil," Mr. H. J. Palh "The Fireworks King," presents all of the magnificent effects, those weirdly beautiful and grandly terrifying features of a volcanic eruption. The clouds of flame, smoke and ashes! The floods of red hot lava which are belched from the volcano's crater and falling form incandescent rivers down its towering sides; the thunderous noise of the mountain, the incessant earthquake shocks and the falling of immense quantities of material completely burying the doomed city, while the gaily dressed multitude rush hither and thither in a mad but ineffective effort to escape. "The Last Days of Pompeii," as given by Pain, has been witnessed by millions of people in Europe, and hundreds of thousands in America. The gay, rich city of A. D. 79 is beautifully pictured on thousands of square yards of scenery; actual buildings of ancient style of architecture occupy the foreground, while Vesuvius towers above in the distance; the many people on the picturesque streets of Pompeii, await the arrival of the grand procession and the commencement of the day's sports in honor of Isis, their favorite goddess. Vesuvius frowns placidly on the scene below; now and then a little smoke emerges, but the sight is too common for serious thought from the people, who are wholly given to pleasure. A trumpet sounds the approach of the grand pageantry, marching Roman soldiers, followed by slaves with banners and trophies; dancing girls, senators, noblemen under canopies, fan-bearers and slaves, gladiators, big circus acts and musicians; the whole forming one of the most beautiful pictures ever presented. A big military band will render the incidental and other music. At the conclusion of each exhibit, Pain, the king of all pyrotechnics, will make a special display of his celebrated Manhattan Beach Fireworks, introducing the latest novelties and effects, both aerial and aquatic. Special excursions have been arranged on all railroads, and cheap rates have been made whereby all may avail themselves of the opportunities thus offered to visit Atlanta and witness this great spectacle. SON PROTECTED HIS MOTHER. Dg. T. J. Buchan, a prominent citizen and physician of Eastman, Ga., was shot and killed by his son, Ogletree, Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The coroner held an inquest and the jury brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide. In his statement the son said he was in an adjoining room and heard his father threaten to shoot his mother. A moment later he heard a scuffle. He looked up and saw his father and mother scuffling for a pistol that was in his mother's hand, she seemingly trying to get the pistol out of the way. He said when he first saw them his father had one arm around his mother's neck and was reaching for the weapon. She called to him for help, and when he got in about three feet of them his father succeeded in getting the weapon and pressed it to his mother's breast. Quick as a flash the boy drew his revolver and fired at his father, the bal entering the heart and causing instant death. RAILROADS ARE HARD HIT. Mississippi Commission Makes Enor- ginal License to Acquire mous increase in Assessment. The Mississippi railroad commission, Monday, made a three-million Collar increase in the assessment of railroads operating in the state. The railroad assessment last year was $30,709,611 and the increase in mileage during the past year has been 137.8 miles. All of the roads are expected to protest against the raises made. The main lines of the trunk systems were increased from $13,000 to $15, 000 per mile, and the increase on branch lines and minor roads average from $500 to $2,000 per mile. BODIES FOUND IN MUD. Receding Waters at, Topeka Reveniling Corpses at All Points. The dead in the Topeka flood now number seventy-eight. A boatman Friday afternoon reported that seven bodies had been found near the north end of Harrison street. The unfortunates were: Mrs Jesse Shaw and four children; a man and woman named Shunkwerter, all from Sherry. The body of a man named Edwarda was picked up by a party near Soldier creek. Other bodies found during the day were those of Mrs. Nellie Watson, Mrs. Minnie Prayers and George McDougal. ONLY PRIVATE SNAP Proctor Reports on Crookedness in Postal Department. PUBLIC INTEREST WAS NIT Chairman of the Civil Service Commission Gives Some Hard Raps to High Officials of the Department. A Washington special says: Chairman Proctor, of the civil service commission, on last Saturday, submitted to Postmaster General Payne the report made by the commission, at the request of the postmaster general, with reference to the charge of violation of the civil service regulations in the Washington postoffice. The inquiry covered the following points: (1) Whether all of the employees outside the force of carriers were regularly in the service and entitled to their positions; (2) whether the civil service rules had been observed in the employment and assignment of laborers, and (3) whether there had been a general observance of the civil service law and rules in the administration of the Washington postoffice during the incumbency of the present postmaster. In addition to the report proper, a transcript of the testimony taken, Mr. Proctor presented a summary of the findings. This summary conclude, in part, as follows: "A departure from the observance of the civil service rules appears in the promotion of certain employees in the Washington postoffice which have been directed by the department, although reports of efficiency are neither requested nor received by the department. "The information disclosed by the investigation seems to warrant the statement that appointments to classified positions in the Washington postoffice without examination, by the method of appointment in small unclassified offices, or in offices about to be consolidated, and subsequent transfer, and the appointments of those laborers who were appointed and separated during the administration of the present postmaster, show a wide departure in policy from a strict regard for the public interest and afford indications that the department used the Washington office for political and personal purposes to an extent which left the authority of the postmaster in transfers and appointments of this sort but little more than nominal and placed the office in many respects in the relation of a bureau to the department. Directed by High Officials. "The investigation seems to show clearly that most of the irregularities herein mentioned were directed by the department, or requested or suggested by high departmental officials, and in either case came to the postmaster with all the force of a direction. "The investigation indicates that the employees who entered the service by transfer and without examination are, in general, inferior to those appointed through competition. Rural Free Delivery Service. Rural Free Delivery Service. "Nearly all of the clerks and messengers in the rural free delivery service who were covered into the classified service were in positions in Washington, D. C. One hundred and thirty-three of them were appointed prior to July 1, 1901; twenty-six were appointed in the four months immediately preceding the classification and fifty-six were appointed in the twenty-six days preceding classification. How many of these were appointed for reasons other than the needs of the service, it is, of course, impossible for the commission to determine, but that the service was packed with employees in the interests of the individuals is indicated by the fact that the number of appointments in the month of the classification was more than twice as great as for the preceding four months. "The appointments made under the circumstances above set forth resulted in a congestion of the service, and when a reduction is to be made the employees appointed for political or personal considerations are cared for, sometimes at the expense of persons appointed upon merit and without influence. In relieving the branches of the service thus crowded with employees, transfers are made to other parts of the service, to the injury, of eligibles in line for appointment by reason of their ascertained fitness." Three men, three boys and a woman were killed and a number of persons were injured as the result of a fire at a whisky distillery in Glasgow, Scotland. Thousands of casks of spirits exploded, bringing down a wall adjoining. The victims were hurled beneath the debris. are HIGH HEELS IN FASHION, he craze ‘for hygiene and athletics done much toward the suppression be high heel, which, according to iy Joctors, not only: deforms th: rec’s fect, but ts bad for the zen. health by reason of the unnatural Ha on the body caused by the ht being thrown on to the ball of ‘oot.

The Hotel and Restaurant Employees Alliance No. 238, composed of employees of the hotels of this city, declared a strike on last Saturday night after supper. There seemed to be some hitch in the strike as some of the members failed to walk out with the strikers. A prominent member of the local was seen by a TRIBUNE representative and after being pressed for a statement said: "It is a case in which a permanently organized body of men decided to ask for an increase of pay not because they have formed a union but because $20 per month the highest wages paid to walters, you know, is not enough for a man with a family. It is true that we have made out with this, but it was under the most adverse circumstances. Well, in a meeting held for this purpose, we drew up a scale of wages only asking for a small increase of pay and a readjusting of the extra time system, officially signed it and sent it to the different proprietors. They held a meeting and just as the daily papers said, paid but little attention to the demand. We notified them that unless an agreement we would walk out Saturday night. They would not come to an agreement with us and according to notice we walked our. We were surprise that so many of our members went back on their promises, but as far as the head waiters are concerned they are always less to be depended upon in a case of this kind. If the strike is a failure we have nothing of great importance to loose, because we can only simply say that our jobs were better than no job at all." Locals. After a most successful term the private school of Mrs. M. A. Cole closed on Friday. Recitations dialogues and singing constituted the program which was much enjoyed.

The public is invited to the Conference and to take a part. James, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Clark, was injured by an automobile while going up Drayton street one day last week. To avoid collision with another vehicle, the automobile was suddenly turned on the crossing and struck young Clark. At the time it was thought that the injury was slight, but since then much swelling has developed around the ankle which prevents the doctor from ascertaining whether there are any broken bones. Next week the opening services of St. Paul C. M. E., church will be held in its newly purchased building on West Broad and Maple streets. On Wednesday night there will be preaching by Rev. J. J. Durham; Thursday night preaching by Rev. J. A. Hadley and Friday night by Rev R Kemp. On Sunday, Bishop L. H.

Soon, hundreds of | people were ‘on the scene. | Herole work on the part of the sol- ters and citizens saved possibly the entire south side of the town, The Ewen hotel is at the end of a long row of miners’ cottages, all of which were in grave danger. When |thoso in the hotel were notified, the fire was under such headway that the [guests who had not arisen had only time to eave part of their clothing. John Carey, of Loulsville, a tele- graph operator, wha was sent by the Postal company to Jackson to handle the matter sent to the newspapers dur- tog the feud trials, was asleep on the second. floor. Im the excitement h¢ ‘Was not awakened until the flames had shyt off escape .from the frout stairway, and he was almost suffocated while coming out of the rear stairway and fell unconscious and half dressed on the ground, when he finally treed himself from the danger. Mrs, Ewen and ‘her’ children were left poorly clad and lost everything. The hotel and furniture had been in- sured, but only a week ago Captain Ewen was notified that on account of the threatening conditions in Jackson the company had decided to cancel his Policy. The house and fixtures were valued at about‘$10,000. ‘rhe property repre- sented the savings of a lifetime, and Ewen and family are homeless and cependent on the hospitality of the troops in camp. > Gray and Jim Haddicks and Jerry Luntz, workmen at the Swann & Day lumber yard, reported having secn Joe Crawford and Ea Tharpe, wagou ers for the Hargis brothers, come across the bridge and return just be- fore the blaze was discovered and Ma-, jor Allen ordered these n.en arrested.- Thex were taken into the military camp by the soldiers and manacled in the guardhouse, Gray Haddicks was detained by:the provost guard as a wit- ness, Soon the Hargis people were active.

Night that King Alexander and Queen Draga, who were assassinated carly Thursday In tho roya! palace, were burfed during the hight in the family vault of the Obernovitches in the chapel of the cemetery of Sz. Mark. ‘ihe interment was carried on with complete secrecy between 1:30 and 3 o'clock Friday morning. ‘The strictest privacy was maintain- ed in order to avoid hostile demon- strations. Two coffins were brought In by servants and carried up to the room where tho bodies of the late king and queen were isizg. ° The corpses were then put in the coffins and the latter were placed in a hearse which was hurriedly driven to the old cemetery, where the other members of the Obernovitch family are Interred. In addition to the at- tendants only two priests were pres- ent at the funeral. ‘The Metropolitan of' Belgrade was absent. The whold ceremony lasted only a few minutes. The ,body of the late Premler Marko- yitch will be burled with military honors., Colonel Naumovics, who was killed while forcing an entrance into the pal- aco with dynamite, is described In the official notice of his death, as “dying on the field of honor for his father- land.” It 1s now confirmed that only Queen Draga’s two brothers were kill- ed. Her sisters were taken to Pana- yosa. by some of the conspirators, Sensational stories, many of which zre undoubtedly sent for the purpose of political effect, are published in Bel- grade, the most revolting of them bo- ing that tle soldiers outraged Queen Draga,and mutilated the body of King Alexander, and that those who were admitted to the palace Friday to view the remains spat and stamped on them. The dispatches sent out have every Indication of having been mutilated and censored. All telegraph lnes and post stations have been seized by the newly declared government and only certain dispatches, such as would put the new ministry in a favorable light, are believed to be sent out. History of Servia. Servia, one of the four Balkan States, was settled by the Serbs in the seventh century. In 1459 Servia was conquered by the Turks. It was ceded to Austria in 1718; reconquered by the Turks in 1739 and its Inde- pendence was practically established in 1829, was. recognized in 1878 and proclaimed,a kingdom in 1882. ‘The population of Servia by the last census was 2,312,484, about 90 per cent Servians., The Slavis population, 3,731; Roumanlans, 159,510; Egyp- tlans, 50,000, and 5,000 Jews. Belgrade. a city, population of 59,000 people, ig the capital. ‘The government of Servia {s admin- istered by a king and council of eight ministers. Military service fs,compul- sory between the ages of 21 and 48. In 1897 the army consisted of 1,248 officers and 21,000 men. The war strength is 353,366 men. The kingdom of Servla occupies twenty thousand -square miles. The surface of the country is very moun- talnous. Almost equally dividing the kingdom is the great river, Morava. The Danube river forms the northern boundary, separating Servia from Aus- triaHungary. ,To the east of Servia is Roumania and Bulgaria. To the south lies Turkey In Europe and the clty of Montenegro. The climate is healthful and invigorating, but inclin- ed to tropleal excesses. Servia is rich in mineral deposits, carries on a large live stock industry and its marketa- ble products are many. It possesses modern railway facilities, telegraph lines and many echool houses. Tho. Te a ga a TWO DANKS ARE CLOSED.
