THRONE SHAKING. ANOTHER TRAGEDY IS ALMOST DUE AT BELGRADE. The Army Not Likely to Move Openly Against the Successor of Alexander, But a Riot May Break Out in the Near Future. Budapest, Feb. 24. —Intrigues which promise toculminate in another sensa- tional climax. will probably soon draw the world's attention again to the tur- bulent little kingdom of Servia. Meet and counter -plots against King Peter are being fomented with even less se- crecy than those which preceded the as- sassination of Alexander and Drage less than three years ago. The same ele- ments are at work and much the same motives are involved. King Peter has the temperary and nominal support of Emperor William and the Czar, but this cannot avail much against the plots and counter -plots, di - looted from abroad which centre against his throne, It need net Ile fear- ed that the nrmy or any of its leaders will again adopt the active role of regi- cides.

The despatches received yesterday from Ponteclera simply an- nounced that Mr. Vunderbilt wee de- tained there °win to an automobile nc- t'cident by whiell a boy was injured, but not seriously. 11 11011' nppears that Mr. Vanderbilt stud his ellen ffeur were mobbed; that the former drew a revolver, and hint both err. vatootbut and the chauffeur vrere arrested and were -taken to the police station. .Mrs. 'Vanderhilt was escorted to the best hotel in the place,, where, according to tbe latest advieee, she was awaiting developments. The Vanderbilt automobile, it eppears, was not going at an exceseive speed, but when turning a sharp street: corner in Pontedera ran down it child, a boy about five year old, aud injured him about tee bead. Though the boy was not seriously hurt, bis face was covered with blood. The automobile, which was stopped as soon as its occupants noticed that an accident had. occurred, was soon sur- rounded by a crowd of excited people, who indignantly and threateningly be- rated its oecupants. In the midst of the excitement the report spread that the child was dead, and the townspeople be- came so enraged that they attacked the chauffeur. In fact, matters reached a very critical stage, and Mr. Vanderbilt, believing that the lives of the party were in danger, dreev a revolver, but, before he could use the weapon, several men jumped into tile automobile, disarmed Mr. Vanderbilt, and kickecl and cuffed him. 13y this time the pollee had become aware that something unusual was hap- pening, and a party of eendarmes hurried to the scene to proteetnthe automobillsts. Owing to the fury of the people the offi- cers took the Vanderbilt party into a neighboring shop for safety, There they were immediately besieger', by it crowd, the most violent of the people urging their companions to take summary ven- geance on the travellers. As a coincidence the shop into which the Vanderbilts 'WM taken was owned bva relit tive of the injerel boy. whleb did not tend to eahn the feelings of the mob. Eventually an officer of the gendarmes with reinforcements advanced on the scene and after the townspeople had somewhat calmed down. succeeded in rescuing the aetomobilists, who were taken to the police station, followed by a crowd of shouting peopie. The leaders protested vigorously against the alleged carelessness of the automobiliets, and said it was time to put a stop to such in- cidents, involving the loss of life, which were constantly increasing in number.
