1t is reported that the .S&uptchima, or assem-
bly, of deputies in Seryia, have decided, By larry,
majority, that Alexander Carogcorgievic couid
not any longer govern the country. The coul'
Gil Of ministers met Immediately, 10 deliberate
on the course to be taken by the Ser'i!sn gov
ernment, on such an occurrence. They rcsoiv'
ed unanimously that prince Alexander ought
to abdicate. This was approved OF by The
Senate, but the Prince refused to abdicitc, ana
sought for Il refuge in the fortress, under inc
protection ofthc Turkish garrison. On the I'D
of December, ! decree of forfeiture was signed
against the Prince Milosch Oerenovitch, a. a
sovereign. The day following, this measure was
counteracted BY the Senate, who, at the same
time, protested against the using Of the EXecu'
tive powers by the assembly. The Senate, now
ever. did not adhere to its own resolution, and
even recalled its protest against the election Of
! Miloscli, for whom the army had declared. 81

Servia's political condition not out OF place
This territory formerly belonged partly to Aus
tria and partly to Turkey, under the treaty Of
Passarovitz. Ever since the peace OF Belgrade,
in 1879, it has been given up entirely to thc
Porte. In 1904, Czeni-gcorgc shook oil the
