BELGRADE, June 24. Although the en trj' of King Peter Into Belgrade today was distinguished by a diplomatic- boy cott, his reception by the people was ev erywhere marked by heartiness which ap proached genuine enthusiasm, In which all classes participated. Tho officials were In -uniform and wore all their decorations. Workmen were en gaged all night long in flnlshlng the erec tion of Venetian masts and triumphal arches, and some of ihe latter were only completed as the firing of guns announced King Peter's entry Into his realm, when the train traversed the bridge connecting Servia with Austria. The King arrived at 10 o'clock. The Ministers, government officials. Judges, municipal and military authorities and leading citizens were asssmbled on the platform of the railroad station, which was profusely decorated. The only for eign representatives who participated in the reception were the Russian Minister, M. Tscharikotr, and the Austrian Minis ter, Herr Dumba, with the members of their respective legations. The royal train consisted of a dining- j car, with two sleepers. The parliament ary and military deputations which went to Geneva arrived on the same train. IClng's Answer to Welcome. The King, who wore the uniform of a Servian General, with a grave and almost nervous look descended from his car amid a fanfare of trumpets. He shook hands with Premier Avakumovlcs, who ended a pow erful speech of welcome with calling for cheers for King Peter, to which the crowd responded with great enthusiasm. The King read his answer to the Pre mier's welcome In somewhat low tones, thanking him, and promising to do his utmost for the good of the kingdom. Ho expressed his pleasure at again coming to Servia, after 45 years' absence from his beloved fatherland, and added that his soul was filled with gratitude to God and with a consciousness of the duties that awaited him as King. He then thanked tho Ministers for having fulfilled their duties to the fatherland as the Interests of the country demanded. He was happy to have this opportunity of renewing the expression of his deep gratitude for their services. Replying an address of welcome, de livered by M. Paulovlcs. a member of the Communal Council. King Peter said he would see to it that Belgrade became a worthy center of Servian life. The con clusion of the King's speech was marked by a renewal of cheering. Assassin In Full Uniform. The presentation of the Ministers fol lowed. Colonel Maschln wore full uniform and all his decorations. King Peter throughout was extremely grave. He did not speak a word and did not smile, but simply shook hands with those who were presented to him. The introductions were followed by the traditional picturesque ceremony of the offering of bread and salt by the Mayor of Belgrade. ' A guard of honor with a" band saluted as King Peter descended from his car and greeted the Cabinet Ministers. The Pre mier, M. Avakumovlcs, introduced M. TscharlkofC to the King, and the Russian Minister presented the Austrian Minister. Thus the Austrian Minister had inter course with the provisional government, with which, previously, he had no rela tions. A procession was then formed, and the King proceeded to tho cathedral. The streets were lined with troops and crowded with people who had been pouring Into Belgrade from the provinces during the last day or two. King Peter drove in state to the new palace. On leaving the cathedral. King Peter was again welcomed with shouts of "Long live the King." After his arrival at the new palace the King received an address of welcome from tho Skupshtina. In the procession to the cathedral the King occupied a state coach. Along the entire route were deputations from various Servian towna, and bodies of students. Tho occupants of the windows and bal conies threw bouquets into the King's carriage. The number of peasants- in the streets was remarkable. Many of them came from distant provinces. At the Cathedral. The ceremony -at the cathedral lasted half an hour. The building was crowded. Just previous to the arrival of the King the doors of tho high altar were closed. and not a single priest was visible. Sud 'denly from outside tht cathedral came the sound of cheering, signaling the ap proach of the King. The doors of the high altar were then opened. and a proces Blon of gorgeously robed priests and mem bers of the choir emerged, preceded by Incense-bearers and followed by the ven erable metropolitan In brilliant apparel The procession halted at the main en trance of the cathedral, where the soldiers at a word of command greeted the King with loud che-rrs. The King, on descending from the coach. mounted the steps and halted at the en trance of the cathedral, while the metro polltan. in the presence of the assembled crowds, addressed a few words of welcome to His Majesty. The procession then slowly marched up the aisle, the King bowing on either side in response to the profound obeisances of the congregation. It was remarked, how ever, that the King favored the military men with more bows than the civilians. The celebration of the mass followed. with the brilliant observances of the Greek ritual, the King standing erect and Im passive with a cool, brave demeanor which marked his movements throughout. After the mass the metropolitan made a short address. He said God's guidance would be visible in everything, and prayed God to grant King Peter the power to rule wisely and welL A special prayer for the King was then offered and tho splendid chorus chanted te old Gregorian "Kyrie Ellison." Tho King then approached the metropolitan ai il kissed his hand as a tribute of the temroral to the spiritual power, and the congregation liurst into hearty cries of "Ix ng live the King." His Fnee Becomes Sad and Stern. The officials thereupon moved down the aisle, opening the way for the King, who , slowly marched out of the cathedral. gravely bowing to the people, his sallow face having become sadder and more stern since his -entry. On leaving the cathedral the Klng3 pro cession moved at a brisk trot to the new palace, which is situated only a few paces from the old palace, which was the scene of the assassinations. King Peter, when he descended from his carriage here, entered the state ballroom, where the members of the Skupshtina pre sented him with an address of welcome. The scene was extremely picturesque, the homely garb of the peasants who had been allowed to enter the rooms and the sim ple attire of the military officers present contrasting with the white and gold dec orations of the ballroom and the splendor of the uniforms of the members of the King's staff. In reply to the address, King Peter gravely remarked that he could only re peat what he had said at the railroad station, that he would do his best to rule in accordance with the constitution. Pro longed applause and shouts of "Long live the King" greet d the close of His Majes ty's remarks. Shalce.n Hands, hat Utters ,o Word. King Peter then shpok hands with each of the deputies, but uttered not a word. When he had finished greeting the depu ties, the King left the room and ascended to his own apartments. Outside the palace a vast crowd shouted for the King, who, however, did not ap pear, and the crowd gradually melted away and spent the rest of the day In the streets through which the procession had passed. Inspecting the decorations and resting themselves. One of the most striking Impressions of the whole day's proceedings was the evi dent relief caused by the arrival of the King. There was an entire absence of dis turbance, and apparently the only thought given to the tragedies which had changed the dynasty was by King Peter, who, when passing the old palace, momentarily ceased his salutations to the cheering crowds to gaze on the scene of the murder of his predecessor. After lunch the King held a conference with the Ministers and discussed the sit uation. Torchlight Procession at Nljcitt. An immense torchlight procession was the feature of tonight's illumination of the city. When the procession reached the Konak, the King's appearance on the bal cony, surrounded by tho Ministers, was greeted with a tremendous outburst of cheering from a, dense mass of people gathered in front of the palace. His Majesty then read a speech, in which he said that, in accordance with the tradi tions of the Karageorgevlches, and helped by the experience he had gathered dur ing the 45 years he had spent abroad, he would try to give the people the govern ment they required. After patriotic songs had been rendered by choral societies, the King retired and the crowd dispersed. There Is no lack of people conversant with the Inner life of the Servian capital who declare that the apparently universal entnusiasm was a cleverly "stage-man aged" demonstration; that many expres sions of regret were uttered privately, and that but for the mounted officers who circulated among the crowds, command ing the people to cheer for King Peter, much of the outward signs of rejoicing wouia nave been absent.

(Continued front First Pape.) searching Investigation Into the affairs of the Postofflce Department, by direc tion of Postmaster-General Payne. The results of his investigation, so far as it has gone, clearly Justify the higher au thorities in selecting General Brlstow for this distasteful duty, but this Is not the first time such a task has been assigned to him. Therefore, It is not his first success. "General Brlstow Is the kind of a man that would prosecute his own brother. If his brother were guilty," said an Intimate friend of the General. "In the pursuit of his duty he knows no favoritism, he makes no discriminations, he yields to no influence. A better man could not have been chosen for the Herculean task of cleaning up the Postofflce Depart ment, for few men could handle such a task In a perfectly fair way, when so many and so varied Interests and persons were involved. When the Investigation was placed In the hands of General Brls tow, the Administration knew that the facts would be brought out, that a clean exposure would be made, that every guilty man would be shown up In his true light. That Is as far as General Bristow can go. The courts must do the rest." And this Is a very fair statement of the case. He Does Ills Duty Bravely. Early in the first McKlnley adminis tration, J. L. Bristow, of Ottawa, Kan., was brought to Washington to fill the office of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. Brlstow had been a personal friend of the new President, and his qualities were known to him. Without any preliminaries. General Brlstow was thrust into an office that at once brought him in contact with every member of Congress, and most Senators. He was charged with the appointment of all Postmasters, and naturally bis tact and diplomacy were called into play. Had l:ii lacked these two most essential qual ities. General Bristow would never have satisfactorily filled the office to which he was appointed. But his administra tion has been above reproach. While he has yielded to political Influence in the maxing of appointments, General Brlstow has only recognized the right of Congressmen to fill offices in their own districts. There has been no general on slaught on Postmasters who happened to be of Democratic faith, although Dem ocratic Postmasters, when their terms expired, have been replaced by Republi cans. Nevertheless, in all cases, the good of the public fcervlce has been kept in view, and the office of Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General has been conducted In an open, straightforward manner. Unearthed Cuban Frauds. Aside from the appointment of Post masters, and the bonding of Postmasters, General Brlstow has had supervision over the Postofflce Inspectors. It was this fact and the knowledge that he had familiarized, himself with the workings of his subordinate bureaus, that led to the selection of General Brlstow to make the investigation Into the postal affairs of Cuba, and it was under his personal supervision that the exposures of extravagances and frauds were un earthed on the Island. There has been no good feeling for General Bristow on the part of such men as Nceley, Rath bone and others, since that investiga tion, and the political backers of these men have not hesitated to show their hos tility to the man who brought about their downfall, but that hostility has never alarmed General Bristow, nor de terred him from the further pursuit of duty, as it was laid down before him. His Work Sot Hampered. In carrying out the investigation of the affairs of the Postoffice Department, and especially in the free delivery and salaries and allowances divisions. General Bristow has been given free rein. TJndtr his dlrec- tlon the excellent corps of inspectors have been running down the endless charges and following out every plausible clew. Even the Chief Inspector has taken his directions from General Brlstow. Too much credit cannot be given this sturdy official for the success he has attained. The Postmaster-General, while he sanc tioned the investigation and has kept in touch with its progress, has not been ac tive in directing the movements of the Inspectors. First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne deserves much credit for having forced the investigation, but it is not his office, that has ascertained the facts. Mr. Wynne, when he forsook his profession to take up Government office, was thrown In direct contact with Mach en and Beavers. These two officials, unused to subservlance to their superiors, at once tried to Ignore Wynne, and to ride over him rough shod. They simply misjudged their man, and Instead of rid ing over Wynne that official, with some inkling that all was not right in their re spective offices, kept harping upon ap parent irregularities, and. insisting to the Postmaster-General that an investigation should be had until his advice was heed ed. Wynne, as developments have shown, had well-grounded Intimations of the con dition of the affairs of the department. Many Others to Go. But when the investigation began Gen eral Brlstow came to the front. While he knew most of the officials of the de partment and numbered some of them among his friends, the Administration knew that he would spare no one. If the fects disclosed his guilt. General Brls tow did not force the investigation, but once the task was assigned him he has labored Incessantly and with perfect sys tem. While it is not so stated, there Is reason to believe that In the end General Brlstow will present a showing that will lead to the removal from m the department of many clerks and minor officials who will not be prosecuted. Many of the acts In violation of law that have been dis closed to date are outlawed; In other cases It has been Impossible to provo va rious employes guilty of any crime that Is punishable by fine or imprisonment. Nev ertheless, their conduct has been such as to indicate that they have been unfaith ful, if nothing more, and on this show ing a list of dismissals will probably be made wlwn the Investigation closes. Some of these persons have been Indirectly con nected with the fraudulent practices that have been brought to light, but there Is some doubt of their criminality. Others have been extremely indiscreet In the dis semination of Information thnt should have been regarded as confidential. Such offenses are not punishable In the sight of the law, but will doubtless be con strued as sufficient justification for the dismissal of the parties participating, and the dismissal "of all such employes will be a further Indication of the thoroughness with which General Brlstow works. WALKING IS A GOOD FAD. Mental and Physical Benefits That Come With This Exercise. Washington Post. Truly this is a day of fads, but none so sensible or beneficial as the walking fad, which society in every degree has now adopted," remarked a prominent physician. "There is nothing like the open air, and people are now beginning to realize this and live in it more and more every dajjj, There are always a number of peo ple wiio seem happiest when they go about with long faces and sour looks and are ever ready to tell you In doleful tones that life 13 not worth the living. If you wi.l observe, these are the people who wear heavy overshoes, wrap up to their eyes Ic woolen clothing and buy a vorlety of patent medicines, much c-f which could be dispensed with by suitable warm cloth ing and a good, brisk walk every day. "Walking is an Ideal exercise, and apart from the great benefit derived from the action of the muscles' brought into play by the movement of the legs and arms, the mind, too, is helped by. this whole some practice. "It Is only natural to suppose that the brain tires of monotonous , surroundings, the same scenery, the awful sameness of things, all soon palls upon one, and the result is frequently fatal, certainly ac countable to a large degree for many nervous disorders, when the antidote for many of the so-called bodily ills could be found In a short walk through a pret ty park. In walking the mind naturally becomes diverted and so interested in things other than one's own misfortunes, and at once the attitude changes to one of cheer. Again walking is one of the greatest stimulants of thought. Take, for instance, our greatest thinkers, orators, actors, in fact, all literary people and you will discover that they were and those of today are all great walkers. In walking one gathers Incident and Illustration fresh and full of actual detail, and when the author or orator pictures a thing In this living fashion he Immediately carries conviction with him, and so furnishes the secret of his success. While from a phys ical standpoint there is nothing that will as quickly Induce a free circulation of the blood nor so effectually reduce flesh as a good walk, and it is much safer than starving, for not infrequently does Mrs. Burden become Mrs. Gray through the means of an unwise and unwholesome diet in her desire to obtain a sylphlike figure. Walk in the fresh, pure nlr, and breathe properly inhaling the air through the nostrils that the lungs may become filled and the panacea will be found for many bodily ills and vexations of the day. Courthouse Men Accept Challenge. In response to the statement of em ployes in the City Engineer's office that the Courthouse clerks cannot play good baseball, the men in the Courthouse eay they can get together a nine strong: enough to defeat the City Engineer's crowd In a match game, notwithstanding the fact that there are several profes sional players In the city building. The clerks employed In the county offices state that, when the game was played with a nine made up of clerks employed by the Federal Government, some of the best players among the Courthouse crowd were unable to take part, on account of being compelled to remain at their desks. A challenge for a game with the City Engineer's force will probably be Issued in a day or two. Killed' Trying? tp Board a Train. PUEBLO. Colo.. June 24. W. K.

IRISH BILL IS SAFE Britain Makes the Land Meas ure More Liberal. DEBATE PROVES A LOVE. FEAST Government's Hand Is Materially Strengthened, as Its Magnanimity Wins Over the -Nationalists Dissolution of Parliament. LONDON, June 24. The debate on the Irish land bill in the House today and to night was a decided love feast. The even lag was . spent in the submission of amendments by the Nationalist members, which were successively debated in an amicable spirit and then withdrawn with out division. As forecasted in these dispatches, the resumption of the debate today was marked by the introduction by Mr. Wynd ham. Chief Secretary of Ireland, ot an amendment designed to remove the diffi culty In regard to tne retention in clause one of a provision for a minimum price at which tenants may purchase their holu ings, and permitting bargains to be made outside of the judicial zones While only three of the 86 clauses of the bill have been agreed to, a spirit of con cession prevails on both sides, and the crucial points have been passed. The scene in the House of Commons fol lowing Mr. Wyndham s announcement of his amendment regarding the minimum purchase price is described by the press as unique in the history of Parliament, the consequence being that the govern ment's hand is materially strengthened by the winning over of the Nationalists, An other result of Mr. Wyndham's conces sion, It is pointed out, will be the speedy conclusion of the session, and possibly the earlier dissolution of Parliament. The agreement is hailed on all sides as being a great concession. John Redmond declared Mr. wyndham had saved the bill, and the amendment was agreed to amid cheers and general congratulations. Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman. the Lib eral-leader, joined In the congratulations on the spirit of conciliation prevailing, and the dangerous clause of the bill was adopted without a division. Later Mr. Wyndham agreed to an extension of the limit of the advances to be, made to pur chasers of agricultural farms from J15.000 to 135 The House passed the third reading of the finance bill without discussion. As Viewed by the London Press. LONDON, June 5. All this morning's papers, commenting on sir. vynaham s concessions to the Nationalists on the Irish land bill, predict the speedy passage of the measure through the committee stage. The remarkable change in the sit uation is welcomed as good augury for the future peace of Ireland, and It is admitted that the danger of the bill being defeated has now been averted. DEMES PART IX MASSACRE. Russian 'ailnister Received Jfo Re quest for Troops at Kisblnef. LONDON, June 24. Inter-Minister von Plehwe of Russia has sent a communica tion to Arnold White, the writer, relative to the allegation in the London Times that the ex-Governor of Bessarabia telegraphed to M. von Plehwe three times for permis sion to use force against the Kishlnef rioters, without receiving a reply. The Minister declares General von Raaben made no request whatever for such au thorization, and says the only communi cation which passed between the two of- flcials were an urgent telegram sent April 7 by M. von Plehwe to Governor von Raaben, forwarding the Czar's instruc tions to Von Raaben to immediately end the disturbances by any means at his disposal, no matter how harsh, and on the same date a dispatch sent by M. von Plehwe to the Governor, instructing him to declare martial law, so as to enable the Governor to deal with the situation. When he received a report of the cause of the disturbances, the Minister says he wrote to Governor von Raaben, ordering the dismissal of the Chief of Police of Kishlnef, and he followed this up with a telegram informing Von Raaben of his own dismissal by the Czar for his failure to effectively use his power to maintain order.

ERROR OF HANNA'S. Did Not Support the Seating of Quay and Is Paying; for it. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. June 24. "The young man Roose velt." as our President has been styled by some politicians, has been quite a thorn In the flesh' of the Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanra ever since 'the convention of 1500 was called, or perhaps to state the case with more care, from the time the dele gates were elected to that convention. Hanna did not want Roosevelt for Vice President, and made it very plain that he objected most seriously to him. Could he have obtained authority from McKinley, he would have used the power of the Ad ministration and the weight of McKinley's name in the Republican party for the pur pose of preventing Roosevelt's nomination for Vice-President. McKlnley would not grant Hanna that power, and without McKinley's permission Hanna did not dare, to use it. At the same time he would have been very glad to have defeated Roosevelt with that or any other power. The man who did most to help Hanna in that campaign was Theo dore Roosevelt. He was very anxious to avoid the nomination for Vice-President, and It was oily When the nomination was Inevitable that he surrendered, and Hanna with him. It Is just possible that Roose-elt would have prevented the Vice-Presidential nom ination if Piatt and Quay had not been very anxious to have him nominated. Piatt wanted him nominated so that he would be out of New York State, and would not be Governor for another four years. Quay wanted him because Hanna did not want him, and that was enough for the wily Pennsylvania politician. Vote That Cost Hanna Much. To perpetrate an Irish bull, about the most costly vote that Hanna ever cast in the United States Senate, he did not cast at all. But his vote counted be cause he was paired against the seating of Matthew Stanley Quay on the ap pointment of the Governor o Pennsyl vania. Hanna was supposed to have a liberal view on the seating of Senators, and had never taken a position antagon istic to seating a Senator on a Govern or's appointment where a Legislature had failed to elect. He was counted upon to vote for Quay, but being absent It was found that he had authorized a pair which would stand as voting the other way. Quay has never forgiven that vote. The first time he got a chance he made Hanna feel his power. That was at the Philadelphia convention, when he cast the Pennsylvania delegation solid for Roosevelt from the very beginning, and continued to work up sentiment in favor of the then Governor of New York for the Vice-Presidential nomination. Quay went at the matter with a great deal of care. He wrote a letter to Presi dent McKlnley just before the Philadel phia convention met, stating that the state was enthusiastically in favor of the renomlnation of the president, that its del egates would be for him. and in any other particulars would be willing to carry out his wishes both as to platform and as to a Vice-Presidential candidate. He told the President that he did not expect him to reply with a letter, as It waB on polit ical matters. He himself would not be in Washington before the convention met. but Senator Penrose would call to see him and receive any instructions. Quay's Delicate 3Ianeuvers. He (Quay) was particularly sollcltlous In the letter to Inquire whether Presi dent McKinley had any preference In the matter of Vice-Presidential candidates, and If he desired the Pennsylvania" dele gation to favor any particular man for the Vice-Presidency. This question he would desire answered before the conT ventlon met, In order that It might take action in accordance with the President's wishes. Penrose called, and McKinley assured him that ho had no choice what ever as to the Vice-Presidency, and that Senator Quay and tho Pennsylvania del egation were at liberty to favor any can didate they pleased. Armed with this authority. Quay began the campaign for Roosevelt. Hanna was with the National committee In Philadel phia some days before the convention met. It Is said that when he found out what Quay was doing, he had a conference with the Pennsylvania Senator and asked what It all meant, and in the course of the con versation took occasion to declare that McKinley did not want Roosevelt for a running mate. This Quay denied. Hanna still maintained that Roosevelt would not be a satisfactory candidate with McKin ley. He doubted Quay's authority for say ing that McKlnley was absolutely un biased, and had no choice whatever for the Vice-Presidency. Then, accoramg to the story. Penrose was called Into the conference, and verified what Quay had said, and stated that ne had aicKinieys authority for declaring that any man that the convention might choose would be sat isfactory to him as a Vice-Presidential running mate- Mr. Hanna Saw the Point. Hanna was, of course; enough of a poli tician to know that, unless a subsequent declaration could be obtained from Mc Klnley authoritatively stating that he wanted this man that man, or did not want this man or that man. the power of the Administration and the McKlnley Influence could not be used against the declaration which Quay was using. He knew that Quay would use the Presiifnt's statement unless it was revoked. - Mc Klnley was enough of a politician to know that he could not revoke It, and probably would not have made any state ment favoring any candidate, even If he had not made his statement to Penrose. McKlnley was a better politician than Hanna. Hanna desired to defeat Roose velt and was willing to uss any kind of means. McKlnley understood that it would not be well to thwart the will of the dele gates in the matter of the Vlce-Presf-d"ntlal nomination, and in the end Hanna Hair Vigor Probably you know how it always re stores color to gray hair, stops falling, and makes the hair grow.

The probabilities are that if Hanna had voted for Quay, which would have seated him, these two men would have worked together Instead of at cross purposes. When Quay was in the Senate before Hanna's time, he held much of the posi tion that Hanna holds now. His defeat for re-election and failure to be seated on the Governor's appointment put him out of the running, left him off a number of commutes, and in several ways gave him a back seat. Hanna quickly succeeded to the political place that Quay had held, and Quay has apparently been resentful ever since. A year ago Quay was early In the field with an indorsement of Roosevelt for re election, and Pennsylvania, acting under his direction, declared for the re-election of Roosevelt. Hanna did not like It at the time, especially as Pennsylvania's ac tion was followed by Indorsements from other states. Quay has also taken con siderable delight In assuming a position antagonistic to Hanna In the Senate, and upon the whole has made the Ohio Sena tor feel that the vote against the seating of Quay was rather expensive.
