has reference to smonarchial changes
looming in the political horizon" of
Greece. The present dynasty is held to
have finished itself-King Ohio being
childless, and his brother refusing to COM
ply with the conditions of the succession
in becoming member of the Greek
Church. A new settlement is therefore
imminent; and the Count of Flanders,
the second son of the King of the Belgians
(who was talked of as sovereign of the
once-projected kingdom Of Moldo-Wal
lachia) is a candidate for the throne of
Greece.
King Ohio of Greece had a grand re-
ception at Vienna on the 26th of June, at
which the great dignitaries of the Court
and the military authorities were present.
Later in the day the Emperor Of Austria
and the Grand Dukes paid his Majesty
a visit. 1t is said that the question of the
succession to the throne of Greece viii be
fully discussed at Vienna during the stay
of King Ohio. The subject appears to
be difficult one. One of the fundamen-
tai clauses of the Greek constitution en-
acts that the King shall belong to the
Greek Church but the heir presumptive,
Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, has a strong
repugnance to embrace the Greek reli-
gion, and his repugnance is heightened
by that of the Infanta Amelia, with whom
he is afianced. King Ohio and his Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, however, think
that the difficulty may be easily overcome.
:sIf the heir presumptive refuse to adopt
this clause, nothing will remain but to re-
move it from the constitution" OF course
why should constitution stand in the
way of a King expectant?
