HE OMAHA DAILY BEE. ESTABLISHED JU E 19, 1871. e —— KING IN NAME ONLY ‘Pem Will Be Bubservient to Servian Army ot Follow Alexander. MILITARY DECIDE TO KEEP POWER Revolutionary Leaders Really Dicta ors and @uards for Titular Monarch. NO WORD GOES TO NEWLY ELECTED RULER Government Stuts Down on Expenses and Btops Those Reeking Pardons. ANTI-REPUBLICANS ARGUE STRONGLY Give Editor Cholce Between Mon- archieal Views and Star Part in Execution and Then Make Him Minister, LBELGRADE, June 16.~The position of King Peter 1 promises to be little more than that of a royal captive. The real gov- ernment of the country will be a military dictatorship under the leaders of the rev- olution, Colonel Mischin and Colonel Mitechilitsch, The new king Is almost without any personal adherents, and the ruling spirits of the army would just as readily murder him as they did his prede- cessor. At the present moment the whole coun- try is under military rule, and, although no prefects in the country districts have been revoked, each is accompanied by an army officer who attends him wherever he goes, even to the telephone. This policy has led to one good result—not a single case of disorder anywhere has been reported. Forceful Arguments Needed. Extremely forcible arguments were found necessary to repress the radical aspira- tions of & republic. The foremost advocate of a republican form of government was L. Jubomir Schiokovics, editor of the Bel- grade Odjek. Finding him impervious to arguments, the conspirators invited him to a dinner at the Officers’ club last Satur- day. During the dinner his host told him that unless he agreed to support Prince Peter there would be one head less in Bel- grade that night. M. Schiokovics ylelded to the force of this reasoning and accepted the situation. He is now minister of justice in the new government. In spite of semi-officlal statements made this morning that the delegation of the National Assembly elected to offer the crown to the newly chosen king had al- ready started, it is still here. f'he govern- ment declares that the number of its mem- bers, twenty-four, would entall too great a cost on the country in the way of traveling expenses, but the real reason of the delay in that the government found some of its members averse to King Peter. These members sought the opportunity to become reconciled to him at the expense of the country. Now that the ministry has cut off their traveling expenses their desire to make the will . dimin- e Rl ow bers at the most. belleved that the army will try to make secret terms with the new king by which 1t will retain the supremacy it gained by the tragedy, but whether Peter will agree to the conditions is uncertain. The chamber met at 10 o'clock this morn- ing and adjourned to the cathedral, where a great thAnksgiving service, including a Te Deum, Wik oelébrated. Bxtraordinary lack of interest is shown by the majority of the people in the events arising out of the revolution. The notlce issued by the municipal authorities yester- day, calling on the inhabitants to decorate their houses in honor of the new king, has met with scant attention and the town by no means has a festive appearance. The flluminations last evening were not bril- Nant. A military band marched through the town playing lively airs, but a heavy rain soon cleared the streets. Remove Signs of Tragedy. The town is perfectly calm and quiet is apparently assured. Guns boomed in honor of King Peter, the church bells rang merrily, simultaneously along the main street marched a funeral procession. Accompanied by all the pan- oply ot the Greek church, a regiment of soldiers, with its band was carrying to the grave the remains of a young lleuten- ant, to whom had been accorded the title of the “army's hero,” a title which was gained as follows: The commandant of a division encamped in the environs of Belgrade was surprised in the palace by the conspirators on the night of the assassinations and managed to escape. He found a mounted orderly, took his horse and galloped to the encamp- ment of his division to summon some of | the regiments to the assistance of the king. Just betore reaching the camp, the lieuten- ant who was buried today overtook the commandant and In the sangulnary fight which ensued the commandant was killed and the lleutenant was mortally wounded, dying yesterday. The new royal ciphers are reaching the military depots today and will be served out to the army before the arrival of King Peter. The portraits of the late King Alexander are being removed from the walls of pub- llo offices and placed in lumber rooms. Workmen were busy all day and night at the palace removing all signs of the tragedy and repairing the damage caused by fiying bullets preparatory to the instal- lation of the new ruler. It appears very unlikely that an officlal account of the crime will be published. The absence of all regret among the educated class Is most striking and leads to the concl sion 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 & few men and in many cases the peasantry are ignorant of the cause of the change. Prince Nicholas Extols King Peter. CETTINJE, Montenegro, June 16.—The proclamation of Prince Peter as king of Bervia was recelved with the greatest satistaction by Prince Nicholas, King Peter's father-in-law, and the Montene- grins generally. Salutes were fired, which rung abd bands paraded the town, which was beflagged and flluminated at night. Prince Nicholas made a speech to an tmmense crowd, extrolling the virtues and bravery of the flllustrious ancestors of King Peter and at the same time con- demning the manner in which King Alexander was assassinated. flan's Som Not a Claiman CONSTANTINOPLE, June i6—The report published in New York that Madame Chris- tics and son, Milan, whose father was the late King Milan of Servia, had left Con- stantinople for the Servian frontier. is un- founded.

IRISH LAND BILL IN DANGER with Redmond and Government May Go Down to Defeat. Wyndham Quarrels LONDON, June 16.—A deadlock has arisen between Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham and the Irish leader, John Redmond, as a result of today's debate in the House of Commons, in which John Redmond's amendment to the Irish land bill abolishing the minimum price at which the landlord may sell, was opposed by Mr. Wyndham and rejected by the House. This dead- lock imperils not only the Irish land bill, but the existence of the government. During the present, session the ministry has more than once escaped defeat because of the support of the natlonallsts, and while Mr. Chamberlain's fiscal policy ren- ders the government's position precarious, the support of the Irish members is more than ever necessary to the ministers. Sev- eral unjonists supported John Redmond in the division lobby after having in the course of the debate vainly advised Mr. Wyndham to agree to a compromise. As a matter of fact, had the Irish leader challenged a division earlier in the even- ing the government would then have been defeated and Mr. Redmond's omssion to thus snatch an advantage from the ab- sence of many unionist members seems to Indicate his desire to do everything possi- ble to ensure the passage of the bill and endeavor to induce the government to re- consider its position. The whole body of natlonalists voted in support of John Redmond's amendment, with the result that the government's ma- Jority was reduced to 41. HUNGARIAN CABINET IS OUT Resignation Offered by Premier is Quickly Accepted by the Emperor, BUDA-PEST, June 16.—Premler Deszell announced today In the lower house of theé | Hungarfan Diet that he had tendered his resignation to Emperor Francis Joseph on Sunday last and that his majesty has accepted it. Report that the cabinet Intended resign- ing had been in cireulation prior to the essembling of Parliament, so there was considerable tension in the house when it assembled. The entrance of the premier was the slgnal for.an outburst of cheers from his supporters, while the opposition retorted | with scoffing shouts of “What & happy funeral. The premier, rising, sald: | I have repeatedly set forth the principles and views which have guided my policy in | regard to the opposition manifested by ob- structionists to the army bill. On those occasions 1 said my policy could only be followed as long as harmonious views prevalled among all the factions | concerned. As such harmony no longer exists, I tendered my resignation to the king on Sunday and his majesty has been pleased | to accept it. 1 beg the house to adjourn pending the formation of a new cabinet. The emperor has directed M. Stefan Tisza, & member of the lower house, to form a cabinet. FATAL CHURCH CELEBRATION Man Killed Christi Procession. NEW YORK, June 16.—In a church pro- cesslon of Corpus Christl the temporary | shrine has been burped and one man killed | by a cannon shot, says a Herald dispatch | from Point Paitrie, Guadaloupe.

FRANCIS, Kan.,, June 16.—With an tween them and the curious public, Chauncey Dewey, W. J. McBride and Clyde Wilson faced Justice Hall for thelr pre- liminary hearing this morning. They are charged with the murder of Danlel Berry and his three sons two weeks ranch. No one was allowed to enter the court house until he had been searched for weapons and the strictest watch was kept on all The soldiers sat with their backs to the opportunity to view everyone who en- tered the room. The line extended clear across the room from wall to wall. The array of legal talent here is probably the hearing in Kansas The state is represented by Prosecuting Attorney Hotchkiss, Attorney General Cole- man and Attorneys Murphy, Noble and Colby of Beatrice, Neb. The defense is represented by Senator Hessing and Attor- neys Harvey, Scott and Moreland 1t was not until nearly 10 o'clock that the prisoners were brought into court. They appeared indifferent to the gaze of the crowd. State Designates the Charge. Attorney General Coleman announced | that the prisoners would first be given a hearing on the charge of murdering Bruce Berry. The witnesses were then called and all answered. The Dewey cowboys, although in town, had not been served with the state's sutpoenaes and another long walt followed. Ed Tucker, one of Dewey's cowboys, the first witness called, created 4 sensation by refusing to answer any of the questions put to him by Attorney General Coleman | for the state. Tucker sald he would refuse | to answer questions because he understood there was a warrant out for his arrest, and State Senator Hessing, attorney for the defense, volunteered that the witness | was acting under counsel's advice on the ground that his answer might incriminate him. The Dewey cowboys have, it is stated, re- fused to testity and this has successfully blocked the purpose for which the state had subpoenaed them. Tucker, continuing to refuse to reply to questions, Attorney General Coleman ap- pealed to the court and asked that he be committed to jall until he would answer. Justice Hull agreed and Tucker went to Jall, where he was followed a minute later by. Al Winship, another.cowboy who re- fused to. talk. Birch Berry was then called. He told his story and accused. Chauncey Dewey of firing the first ‘shot, which struck Roy Berry. McBride, he said, fired the second shot, which struck Bruce Berry. Roy Berry was the next witness. He was shot through the face during the -assault on the Berry ranch and was brought into the courtroom on a stretcher. Asked by Attorney Genera! Coleman who shot him he replied in a weak volce that it was Chauncey Dewey. He insisted that he and Qs father had no trouble with the Deweys of a serlous nature before the kill- ing, although there had been a number of disputes about minor matters. Attorney Hossin for the defense asked Berry it he was armed on the day of the tragedy. He replied that he was, but that none of the Berrys had made any effort to use thelr arms. Mrs. Alpheus Berry sald on the after- noon of the murder Will McRride and an- other man, whose name she did not know. called at the house and asked if the Berrys were at home. Afterward she heard the shooting and saw the finish of the tragedy, but 3id not know who fired the shots. Dr. G. Pogg of Bird City sald he was called to the Berry house after the mur- der. He made an examination, but could nut te'l whether the bullets entered from behind or in front. George Shafer, P. E. Waldin and L. L. ‘apron, neighbors of the Berrys, did not see the shooting, but immediately after hearing the reports of the guns went to the ranch and found the bodies of the unfor- | tunate men lying on the ground.

After the welcoming address, to which Lieutenant Governor Northeott of Illinols responded, the convention took up the regu- lar order of business. At the last national convention a de- termined effort was made to secure the admission to the soclety's jurisdiction of several large citles, including St. Louls and San Francisco. The soclety's law bars all cities having 200,000 or more popu- lation. 5 The committee submits an amendment to the Woodmen iaw providing that the executive council may, in its discretion, establish and maintain leeal camps in any part of the excepted eitles, if upon in- vestigation it finds it safe and desirable territory.

The per capita expense of management for the year 1001 was 74 cents and for the year 1902 88 cents. Touching on the admission of large cities to the Woodmen jurisdiction the head con- sul says: The chief objection to the admission of large cities heretofore has been the diffi- culty in selecting the proper risks. There in no question but there are lots of eplendid risks in these cities whose membership would be of great advantage.

CHICAGO, June 16.—Indications tonight are thut the hotel and restaurant strike begun last week will be settled by arbitra- tion, and that the strikers will return to work on Thursday morning. Such strong pressure from outside labor organizations was brought to bear on the joint board of the striking unions it has at last consented to a proposition which virtually ends the | strike. The strikers have held out all along against submitting their grievances to ar- bitration, but they now ask that arbitra- tion be adopted to bring about a peaceable adjustment of the difficulty. The Hotel Keepers' assoclation will meet tomorrow to consider this proposition and it is said to- night they will accept it. The restaurant keepers will colncide In any action taken | (jons to include them in an uppropriation by the hotel keepers. "Our assoclation was founded to mettle disputes between employers and employes by arbitration, and we have stood on that ground,” /sald Paul Blatchford, secretary of the Hotel Keepers' assoctation, tonight. “We are not going to stand on any ques- tion of courtesy in *his affair if we can settle it by arbitraton. If the offer of peace from the striking unions is made in writing it will undoubtedly be agreeabls to the hotel men."

At least 160 more are missing and at this time the most rellable estimates place the num- ber of dead at 300. All day long help in the shape of provisions, blankets and men has poured in. The Oregon Rallway and Navigation track was opened as far as Lexington, nine miles away, this afternoon and from now on the work of rellef can proceed more expeditiously, as the wagon road from here to Lexington is good and supplies can be brought in by team In a few hours after they reach the end of the railroad. It will probably be several days before the track is opened all the way, as the roadbed is washed out for almost the entire distance. The scene from the hillside overlooking the town is one of desolation. Huge piles of wreckage, in many places fifty feet high, fll the canyon for half a mile below the y[town. As the debris which is covered many feet deep by mud, is cleared away more bodies are found. Immense boulders welghing tons were rolled along by the flood and deposited in the midst of the town or lodged against bulldings. 1l n t " Crased People Frantie. .| THE DALLES, Ore, June 16.—A tele- - | phone message from Ione says: .| A pall of devastation and death hangs - | over Heppner. Frantic, half crazed people are charging about the rulns hunting for loved ones. Dozens of familles have been wiped ous. t| In the fifty-foot wall of water that e | swept through the town dozens of bodies were carried down Willow canyon for miles. In the rush of subsiding waters during Sunday night cries of Gistress were heard in monumental piles of debris and the first volunteers worked like demons to hunt out and find perishing wounided, but in many cases It was too late by the time the vie- tims were located in the darkness: Among the Incidents of the catastrophe was the saving of three lives by Jullus t | pulled in three people from the flood. Jim Kernan, the Oregon Rallway and Navigation agent, met his death at the telegraph key trying to ralse Portland to inform the outsiae world of the impending calamity. His little davghter, Katle, who was saved by remalining in the uluum‘ house, saw her father and mother lost In the whirl of the mad waters. Katle stood by while her father was calling the Portland office when the flood swept in tho lower floor and curled around him. Mrs. Kernan rushed L |out of the house and started for a high point of ground. Kernan bravely sought to save his wife and both were lost. One of the most thrilling adventures was that of Tom Shuter, who, with his family, were carried down stream In his nouse for a mile and a half. His wife and two child- ren stepped into the upper rooms. Be- low town the house shot across the creek to the west side, where it lodged in the debris, 150 yards from the canyon bank. Shuter then took his two little ones on his shoulder and swam 200 yards In the bolling , | torrent. He landed the children and then struck out for the house and rescued his T | wife. The McBride family, which was lost, 1| went down in their house. A force of seventy-five men nre digging Prompt measures are being taken to prevent a plague.
