between the eX-King and ex-Queen, which not only
disturb the interior economy and welfare of the
Kingdom, but which have made the name OF
Servia a perfect byword and term of reproach in
all foreign countries The inhabitants arc anxious
that clean sweep should be made Of The Obreno-
witch dynasty, and that both Natalie with her
theatrical displays of maternal affection. and
Milan, with his seraglio, should be driven out of
country which their shameful conduct has
brought into such disrepute.
An extremely significant sign ia the refusal
of the Metropolitan of Servia, the venerable
EXarch Michael, to call upon the ex-Qucen. or to
take the slightest notice of her arrival at Bel grade
He is in constant communication with the Court Of
St Petersburg, is regarded with the highest es-
TEEN and veneration by the Car, and is 1ecog-
nized one of the leading lights of the Pam
slavist movement. In his eyes Natalie is merely
the daughter of comparatively unimportant
Muscovite Boyard, of the name of Colonel Ketch-
ko, while Prince Peter Karageorgewitch is near
and dear relative of the Imperial family of Rus
sa, and who, on the occasion of his recent visits
TO the Court Of the Gar, has been received with
royal honors. Just what will become of the Boy
King Alexander no one exactly knows. Several
attempts have already been made to assassinate
him, notably on one occasion with a dynamite
cartridge at the Royal Rid Dg School But il is
most likely that kidnapping Will be resOrted TO.
and that the crime will be laid to Mlans desire
to get him away from his mother. An old proph-
ccy exists in Servia, according to which the eighth
annontcd King of Servia is destined to reign but
for brief period 1t is for this reason that Milan
would never permit himself TO be annOinted. His
son, however, has been annointed and is the
eighth King Of Servia who has undergone the
function.
OF Prince Peter Kamgeorgewitch it is impos-
sible 10 say much beyond that he is lineally de-
scended from parricide, that his father was con-
Nlcted by the Supreme Court Of Hungary of hav-
ing instigated the brutal assassination in 1868 Of
Milan's uncle and predecessor on the throne OF
Seryia, and that ne was educated at the Military
College of IT. Cyr, in France He served as n
captain in the French Army during the Franco
German War, and in sS3 contracted a marriage
with the eldest daughter of tn reigning Prince of
Montenegro. lie is wealthy and INSCRIPTIONS,
but differs from Milan in possessing great per-
sOnal courage.
Meanwhile Milan, after spending several weeks
at Carlsbad, where he disuSted all dec en minded
people by his relations with Madame Artems'a
CrStics the wife Of his former Plenipotentiary at
Berlin, is now travelling through Switzerland and
Will shortly arrive in Paris, where he proposes TO
make long stay. For tie winter months he has
hird villa near COnstsntnOple, and in the i'm
mediate proximity of the residence Of Madame

The loan contracted by Prince Ferdinand, as
mentioned above, Is for the purpose of pleung
the line Of railway from Jamboh 10 BurgaS, the
Bulgarian port on the Black Sea. The Bulgarians
are an agricultural people and raise enormous
quantities of grain. Hitherto however, the farm
ers in the southern portion Of Bulgaria, and espe-
cally in eastern Rumelia, have been unable 20 find
any foreign market for their produce. Tha only
railroad which traversed the country, and which
afforded means OF transport, the trunk line

Baron Hirsch. The rates for freight from the
Bulgarian frontier TO the terminus on the BOs-
phOruS were so enormous that il was found alto

main trunk line. The country traversed by the
branch line is exceedingly fertile, and The enter
