Owing to Mr. Chamberlain's speech, Sir Henry Campbell-Bauneriman has withdrawn his motion. This is regarded as another instance of weakness, and has divided the counsels of the Liberals who, it is understood, strongly objected to Bir Charles Dilke's motion, as taking the wind out of the sails. An official resolution says that Sir Charles Dilke has refused to yield, and that a Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman

TAB SERVIAN REVOLUTION—ANOTHER
VERSION,
Berlio, 11th June. A military enspiracy has broken out in Belgrade. The conspirators forced, with the assistance of the troops, the entrance of the Kozak, where the King's bodyguard offered only very little 'resistance. The conspirators found King Alexander and Queen Draga with out clothes in their bods. The King, seeing that be was surprised, shot himself, whereupon the Queen followed his oxample. A number of aides de-camp, the president of the cabinet, Mr. Velimirogitoh, the minister of war, General Pavlovitch, and the brothers, sisters and rela- tives of the Queen were murdered, the other ministers arrested. Then the old pretender Peter Karageorgevitch was proclaimed King He published at ones & proclamation, thoroby re-establishing the old constitution and calling back the dissolved parliament. A new cabinet was formed. The popalase is very quiet and received the new cabinet in a sympathetic way. The European oxolanges are not alarmed by
these events.
Later.
The cause of the outbreak. in Belgrade was the proposed return of the half-brother of Queen Draga, named Lutzonewitz, who the King intended to nominato Relr-Apparent, The old Pretender feared that the Slapstchins would agree to this. Hence he made his coy, killing the King and Queen many of their followers, and proclaiming himself King. The populacs take the change very joyfully. The streofs of Belgrade were gaily decorated all day to-day, and there was much rejoicing at the fall of the old regims.-0. Lloyd. :

THE ABANDONMENT OF VLADIVOSTOCK,
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 17тă, 1903
Vladivostook, the Lord of the East," upon which a cool million has been spout by Russia, is no more; the great terminus of the line, as originally planned, has become a branch station, and in a few months the enormously expensive railway between Vladivostock and Khabarovak will be in a fair way to justify the famous defini tion "two streaks of rust and a right of way.' Dalny is king now. It is necessary to look at the largest atlas you possess. Otherwise the significance of the change of intention will be

AN JOE-VES PORT,
The trabound Russian Empire, like a bugo plant in the dark, bas sent out a creeper to the one speck of light there was, and has thought the huge expense of the Siberian Railway as nothing compared to the blessings of an open port, Until this year, for four months of the twelve, a Bossian might only leave his country or export his goods by courtesy of another nation. On the north crushed by an icecap, to the south barrod by other countries, the end and
of her policy has been nothing but this an ice-free port, an ice-free port! The money she line wasted on Vladivostock is of interest because it prores, os no offcial assurance of hers old perhaps prove, that she originally had no intention of annexing Manchuria. Vladi vestock was a compromise, and nothing else It was merely less bad than other places. From two to three months of each year it is frozen aver, and if Russia had ever deliberately planned her present bold over Manchuris she would never have thrown away the teus of millions of roubles that are represented by the line from the port to Khabarovsk and the line from Telite to Stratensk, fragments (joined together by the Amur) of an all-Siberiau route to Vladivostock from the west. The occupation of Manchuria have years ago enabled the Russians to cut off the huge corner involved by this Siberian route, and yet almost at the same moment destroyed the value of Vladivostock by giving them at last their long-coveted ice-free port in Daly, which is a few miles north of Port Arthur, ·
THE FUTURE OF DALNT.

But in two years time Vladivostock, with its great railway station and raw new wharves and warehouses houses and strests, will be relegated to the pages of geography books, and Dalby-the "Far" port-will have thrust itself among the falers and the points of anxiety of the world. It is the entering, of such an appearance on the part of Rusais among the Powers of the
