BELGRADE, June 16.—The -position of King Peter I. promises to be little more than that of a royal captive. The real government of the country will be a military dictatorship under the lead ers of the revolution, Col. Maschin'and Col. Mitschitch. The new king is al most without any personal adherents, and the ruling spirits of the army, it Is thought probable, would just as readily murder him as they did his predecessor should he oppose theii aims. The whole country is under mili tary rule, and in the country districts each prefect is accompanied by an army officer, who attends him wher ever he goes, even to the telephone. This policy has led to one good result—■ not a single case of disorder anywhere has been reported. Extremely forcible arguments were found necessary to suppress the radi cal aspirations of a republic. The foremost advocate of the creation of a republican form of government was Ljubomir Schickovies, the editor of the Belgrade Odjek. Finding him imper vious to arguments, the conspirators invited him to a dinner at the Officers' club last Saturday. During the dinner his host told him that unless he agreed to support Prince Peter Kara Georgevitch there would be one head less in Belgrade that night. Schickovics yielded to the force of this reasoning and accepted the situation. He is now minister of justice in the new government. The deliberations of the members of the senate and skupslitina oi» the re publican question were materially has tened by the attendance of one of the leaders of the revolution, Col. Mits chitch. The colonel took no part in the proceedings, but his presence was sig nificant enough to induce the members to accept the army's choice. Premier Avakumovics told the deputies that it was useless to talk of a republic, as neither Russia nor Austria would per mit it. He further urged that the pro posed constitution would give King Peter far less power than that enjoyed by the president of the United States. In spite of the semi-official state ments made this morning that the del egation of twenty-four of the national assembly elected to submit the crown to the newly chosen king, had already started, it is still here. The reason of the delay in its departure is that the governernent found some of Its members to be ad verse to King Peter. These 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 journey will be greatly diminished, and the delegation will probably con sist of a dozen members at the most. Inquiries in official circles every where elicit the assurance that the people are delighted with the action of the government, but conversations overheard in public places indicate that the people, especially those living out side the capital, know little and care little about the trend of national pel itics. One of the features in all the shop windows is the display of large Continued on Sixth Page. THE ST. PAUL GLOBE burying the dead is proceeding as fast as posible.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., June 16.—A long section of the Madison street bridge approach went down under the weight of between 150 and 200 people tonight. Six persons were seriously, probably fatally, injured. Twenty-five or thirty others were seriously hurt. The accident occurred during an illumination of the street carnival booths along the main streets of the city. Hundreds of people had gone to the bridge to watch the illumination from the vantage point. Suddenly, without a moment's warning, a section of approach forty feet in length sank. Instantly all was confusion.- Calls were sent in for doctors and police men to carry away the injured. It was thought for a time that the entire bridge, with Its load of humanity, had gone down, carrying hundreds to death in the waters of the Chippewa river. It was found, however, that the death list would be comparatively small, If any, though two score were hurried to offices of doctors and the WHILE DYING HE SHOOTS TWO HIGHWAYMEN Third Robber Escapes, Carrying Off His Companions.

SOCIALISTS ASTONISHINGLY SUCCESSFUL IN GERMANY They Gain Fifteen Seats in the Elections for the Reichstag—Their Greatest Gains Are in Saxony, Which Is Dubbed "The Red King dom"—Socialist Women Help. BERLIN, June 17.—The leading feature in the reichstag elections which were held today was the success of the Social Democrats, who have probably increased their representation in the reichstag by fifteen seats and their total vote to upward of 2,500,000, or 400,000 more than in 1898. All the parties concede the success of the So cialists, which has been at the expense of them all.

MISSOITLa, Mont., June 16.—Trou ble of a serious nature is imminent on the Flathead Indian reservation. The reds have donned their war paint, and, as they are well armed, it is possible that United States troops will be call ed on. On the Flathead Indian reservation . are a large number of Indian cattle men, whose herds are large and con stantly growing. The government has decreed that each animal shall be tax ed $1, and this has aroused the anger of the red men. Maj. Smead, Indian agent, called the wards of the govern ment together a few days ago and told them of the tax. There were deep murmurs of discontent, and the In dians declined to pay, saying the gov ernment had already robbed them of nearly all they had. Accompanied by deputies, the agent went to the grazing grounds and at tempted to seize a large number of cattle, just to show, that he meant business. He was met by a party of the red men. each armed with a rifle, who told him they would resist the taking of the cattle to the death, if need be. Several conferences have been held without result. The Indians are de termined not to pay, while the agent declares they must. The Indians have been for several days preparing for a clash at arms, and as they have an un limited number of rifles and are de termined to resist the authority of the government, a battle is feared before the end of the week, when the time set for the payment of the $1 tax expires. FOES OF STOCKMEN ARE DISPATCHED Indians Killed a Bear and Wolf After a Desperate Battle. Special to The Globe. RED LODGE, ]Mont., June 16.—A re ward of $250 has been paid to three Crow Indians for the killing of two wild animals that had for a long time been making a burden of the lives of of stoekmeri living in this sec tion. The two animals we.re a big wolf and a black bear, which had been run ning together for the last two years, making almost nightly visits to the ranches, where they killed and mangled many sheep and cattle. The killing was done, apparently, for the mere lust lust of blood, and at a re cent meeting of the stockmen a reward of $250 was offered for the bodies of the marauders. Yesterday three of the Indians who belong on the reservation came on the brutes in a little ravine a few miles from here. The reds opened fire on the animals, which showed fight, contrary to their usual custom when discovered in the daytime. One of the Indians was badly torn by the bear, while another was bitten severely by the wolf. The animals were dis patched after a hard fight.

As a last resort the objectors to the proposed new down-town baseball park have applied to the courts for an injunction, restraining George E. Len non from proceeding with the construc tion of the park and the playing of baseball and other games there. A dozen or more property owner? in the vicinity of the new park, through an .attorney, appeared before Judga Orr, of the district court, yesterday, and secured an order citing Mr. Len non and his colleagues to appear In, court Saturday and show cause why a temporary injunction should not issue, restraining them from continuing with the construction of the park. At the some time suit was com menced for the purpose of securing a temporary injunction against the pro- ' posed park. The objectors to the new park are James D. Humphrew, John Kirwin, John Klein. A. A. Ballard. Anna D. Sa bin, the William Lindeke Land com pany, William C. Pope, Charles Butts, Warren Upham, Ella G. Hardenbergh, Clara G. Blood. Elizabeth Troy. Katrine Bantle and Emma A. Miller. The. complainants allege that they own property in the immediate vicinity of the proposed new ball park, which they say is to be located in a quiet and se cluded residence district of the city, which is thickly settled and inhabited by persons of refinement and culture. They contend that the establishment of a public baseball park on the site selected will cause the residence pror erty in that vicinity to decrease in value, and that it will be a nuisance in the neighborhood in which it is lo cated. They charge that the players and spectators will, at frequent inter vals, indulge in loud and deafening shouts, cheering, ringing of bells, blow ing of horns, whistling, cat-calls and . other noises, which will disturb the j plaintiffs and their families and Beri ously injure their health. The plaintiffs impart to Mr. Lennod the consoling information that I. ington park is a much better loca tion than the one selected by him down town, and attention is called to fact that from 1,000 to 15,000 people have attended the ball games held :.t that place. In conclusion the plaintiff asks the court to grant a permanent injur.ot: restraining the construction of a - ball park on the down-town site, ami also that he be permanently restrained from having any baseball, football or other games played there. On account of this being the last term of court before the summer vaca tion, the action for a permanent in junction cannot be heard before the September term, and for this reason the plaintiffs seek to secure a tempo rary Injunction, restraining the defend ants from completing the park and playing ball there this summer. The hearing on the application for a temporary Injunction will come up be fore Judge Orr at a special term of the district court Saturday morning, at which time the plaintiffs will argue for an injunction restraining the plaintiffs from farther action until the suit for a temporary injunction can be heard. The plaintiffs to the suit are tha Continued on Fourth Page. Continued on Sixth Page.
