THEO US REU ABLE WERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE KING AND QUEEN ASSASSINATED; .lievolution in Kingdom of Scrvia. ARMY REVOLTED. Many Others Were Aiso Slain. Poter Knrngeorgevltch was Proclaimed to Succeed tho Dead Sovereign. Holgrado, June, 11.?King Alexander of Servla, his queen, Draga Maschin, three of his ministers nud the queen's brother and sisters were assassinated early this morning by Servian troops, who, after accomplishing the murders, proclaimed the pretender to the throne, Poier Ivarageor?evltch, king. A com mittee of army ofllcers called upon the king at tho palace and asked him to abdicate in favor of Karageorgevltch. He refused and shot the officer who made the demand. The latest reports indicate that twenty-two were massa cred in the palace and the ministers' houses. One general, ono aide-de-camp and twolvo members of the guard were slain. PLANNED WEEKS AGO. r Tho revolution was planned weeks ago. Colonel Naumovlcs, the king's adjutant, was named to carry out the plot. He visited the king and queen at night, after b' )wing open the door of their chamber, and gave tho king a paper to sign, abdicating tho throne. The paper referred to tho queen as a "notorious woman." The king's an swer was to shoot. Naumovlcs. The royal couplo then fled in their night clothes to tho roof, but were pursued by the usurpers. There is every indi cation that tho change will be accepted by the people. No further bloodshed is expected. Tbo military headed the revolution . After killing the king and queen, the troops slew the queen's sis ters and her brother. Then they at tacked the houses of the ministers, killing three and a number of the royal guard. The new government an nounced the restoration of the con stitution abrogated by King Alexan der. ARMY Hi STILE. Dispatches from Belgrade say that a.uce 'ho late king suspended the Ser vian Constitution tho army had been N - animated by hostile feelings toward both the king end queen. Committees were organizod in the country and worked in co-operation with the army. The leaders of the revolution are said to havo been the new ministers of jus tice and finance, and the sixth regi ment of infantry, garrisoned at Bel grade, was designated to carry out the plot, It was originally intended that the plot should be executed later, but the fears that the Servian parliament would settle tho question of succession to the throne, hastened the matter. The streets were througed with people ' whose actions seem to approve the deed of the revolutionists. The bodies of the king and queen remain In the palace, which is surrounded by a strong cordon of troops. Bands of young men are parading the streets, waving flags and shouting, "Long live Karageorge vitch." Flags are flying all over the city and there is absolutely no display whatever of crepe or other eigns of morning. MERCHANTS NEWS.

COLONEL TRIBBLE ASKS FOR ROLLS. Circular to Veterans of the Confederacy. NEEDED AT ONCE. Request of the National War Department. Circular from Ucncral Ainsworlh on the Subject?Care of Rolls Loaned is Promised. The following letter is published at the request of Col. M . P. Trlbblo who has chargo of compiling the rolls of Confederate veterans of South Carolina, to bo published by the War Depart ment, and following it is a lotter on the subject from General Ainsworth: K?ster of Confederate Soldiers. All persons, either as individuals or societies, who may have In their pos session any of the original rolls or re cords of any kind pertaining to the Confederate Sjldiers who served in the Army or Navy from this State will please send such rol's or records to me at Columbia, S. C. Tho War Department at Washing ton, 1). C.| wants the use of these rolls and records In order to compile a ros ter and history of the men who served from South Carolina in the Confeder ate Army and Navy dur ing the war be tween the States. Tho Department will take good o.\re of all rolls or records and return them as early as possible. I am authorized by the War Department to collect theso rolls, etc.,, and I will give a receipt for them if desired. The utmost care will be takeu of them and they will bo returned promptly when the Depart ment has finished with them. Most Respectfully, M. P. Tribble, Com. of Confederate Rolls. Record and Pension Olllce, War De partment, Washington City, March, 28, 19011. Col. M. P. Tribble, Auderson, S. C. Dear Sir: Tbo Department having been advised by Governor lleyword on the 26lh instant that he will be glad to cooperate with it in tho compilation of the recently authorized roster of the officers and men of tho Union and Con federate Armies, and that he has de signated you to confer with me relative to the details of tho work, I beg loavo to submit the following for your con sideration: A considerable collection of South Carolina Confederate organizations Is now in the possession of this Depart ment. While that collec'ion does not by any means show all the names of the officers and men who wore in the Confederate service from South Caro lina, and whllo it dees not show the complete military histories of those whose names It does show, It is hoped that the list of names and the histories of individual officers and men can be made much more nearly conipleto by record ovidenco obtainable from other original rolls that may now be in tho possession of the St*lo of South Caro lina, or of historloi' violettes, memo rial associations, and individuals of South Carolina and other States. The legislation authorising the com pilation of the roster Is construed by the Department to restrict it, In mak ing tho compilation, to tho ueo of or iginal records made during the war period, and to preclude tho usm of printod or manuscript copies or com pilations made subsequently. For this reason, and in order that there shall be no ground for doubt a.^ to tho ac curacy of the proposed rrster, tho De partment will be unable to use In tho compilation any of tho rosters that have heretofore been published, but must in all cases seek tho original re cords upon which those ro?tora wore based. You will readily see that, in order that the pompiiation now in progress shall be as nearly complete as it 19 pos sible lo make it, it is essential that tho War Department shall obtain the tem porary loan, for the purpose of copj ing, of any original official rolls, lists or othor decumonts that show the names of Confederate olllcors aud mon that aro now in tho custody of State of flcla's, historical or memorial associa tions, pnhlio or priyato libraries, or that aro In the poseesiop of private citizens. Jt Is Impracticable for the War De partment to coramunlcato with tho va rious holders of these scattered rocords and consequently the Department must rely upon eaoh S'alo to colloct, by loan or otherwise, such records of its own or other Confederate organizations as may bo obtainable within the State, and to forward tho collection when completed to this Department, by which the reoords will be coplod and returned to the Stato with the least possible delay. Of course, the express charges Incident to and from tho State will bo defrayed by the Slate. If It opeurs to you tba*. a dlfforent plan from that indicated herein should be adopted, or If during the progress of the work you can mako any sugges tion tending to facilitate or improve it, you will ponfer * favor upon the De partment and myself by advising me freely and fully with regard to your views.
