Discovery of a Plot 20 Overthrow Him and
Place a Pretender on the Throne.
VIENNA, Feb. IA widespread con-
spiracy to dsposs King Milan and to place
Prince Karageargevitch upons the throne of
Servia has been discovered at Belgrade, and
many arrests have been made. The plot to
overthrow the Obrenoyitch dynasty and re-
store that of the Karageargevitches has long
been fostered, almost publicly by the czar
of Russia and by Prince Nikita of Monte
negro, who is the father-in law Of the pre-
tender The movement contemplates the fu-
tlIre union of ServN and Montenegro, and
the eventual absorption of Bosnia and Herze-
govina. This would countarbalance the re-
cent territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Bulgaria
and make a strong Slavonic state domnat-
ing the western half of the Balkan peninsula.
Such union would also be a standing
menace to Austria Hungary, which includes
slice of old Servia, having population
almost entirely Slav, as it would be the con-
slant ambition of the consolidated state to
restore that territory to Servia. The
fact that the maturing of the plot
Is coincident with the return of
Prince Nikita to Cettinge from
ST petersburg, where he mas Teen enter
tanned with phenomenal honors, Is proof
positive to the Austrian and Servian official
mind OF the connivan>e OF both the Russian
and Monetenegren rulers Count Won Khe-
venhueller, the Austrian minister to Servia,
has just returned to Vienna to report to his
government his suspicious of an intrigue
now in progress in Belgrade between the Serv-
ian prime minister and the Russian minister
to Servis. Various meetings have.taken place
between these diplomats during the past few
days. The Austrian representative has
been able neither TO print the meetings, to
be present at them, or to ascertain their
purpose or result He is convinced, how
ever, if any intrigue is on foot between
Servia and Russia, it is surely inimical to
Austria, and he seeks instructions as to
what representations lie should make TO

The Early History of Horsesteak.

1t is natural that France should have led

to this particular fieshpot: for, though for
long centuries tabooed in England, Ger

flesh has always tacitly survived in Paris, at
all events After many efforts to put it
down the police forbade its sale in 1853, again
in 1862, 1879, and 1854, when the preamble of
the police ordinance sought "to prevent the
diseases which the use of such meat can not
but occasion" 1t is on record that during
the revolution all Paris lived once for six
months on horseflesh. In 1903 il was Off
