LONDON, 12th June, The Army bas proclaimed the pretender Peter Karageorgevitel, King of Servia; the pretender is at present at Geneva and pro- fesses astonishment at the events in Belgrade. Au official statement from Belgrade" states that besides the King and Queen, two of the

Queen's brothers, the Premier, the Minister for War and four officers were assassinated and the Minister for the Interior and General severely wounded, The National Convention called for the 15th inst, will elect a King, and the election will be subject to the recognition of Russia and Austria. The British press is horrified and exhorts the Pavers not to recognize a successor who is not able to prove his innocence of complicity.

THE STRATIN CURRENCY.

The statement made by Mr. William

Adamson, C.M . the chairman of the Straits Association and the delegate nominated by the Association as its representative on the Straits Currency Commission, places us in possession of all the essential facts of the 'report of that Commission. Mr. Adamson confirmed what was already briefly known on this side, with amplifications on some of the points. The knowledge we now have confirms the rpinia "we gave in nur last issue that the report has the very considerable recommendation being xtremely simple. Perhaps in a senset is not final, but the ultimate end to be achieved to fixity of value, and this is at least in sight The report, however, purposely leaves the question of ratio to be fixed hier. Not having a coin of its own which in the hands of a strong gove nment can be made, The Powers have evidently resolved to within the limits of ordinary business resor acquiesce in the situation especially in vier vations, an effe tive and a stable rate a new of the attitude of the Servians, who loudlyne is essential to the scheme. This is the end that it is desired to achieve. We should abuse the late regime, especially execrating imagine that when the ratio comes to be fixed Queen Draga,

which point is left to the Government of the Straits Set:lemants un settie, that a nominal 25. rate would pirsbably be fund the best to adopt. Leving out the fractions, this would coincide with the Japanese yen, with the new Philippine peso, and with the gold standard adopted by Siami. There is, the efnie, much to be said in favour of such a figure. It will be gathered that the new scheme does not neces- sitte the establishment of a Customs I use in the col ny, which would have been a fatal objection to it in free trade ports.

His M jesty's Government h've been in nego- liation with the authorities of that line, but, as Mr Austen Chamberlain stated, they had not been able to come to any agreement-which being translated means that the Russian authorities are asking far too much.
