Turning them over, King Milan under
took the revision of the constitution.
Many important changes were effected
in the constitution. Individual liberty
and freedom of the press were guaran-
teed: all religious sects were placed on
footing of equality: the suffrage was
extended to all men paving Is francs
a year in taxes, and all classes
OF the community were made eligible
for the position of deputies, only
a fourth of the chamber to consist of ex-
of1icio members. The king, however.
still retained the right of declaring
peace and war and the power of pro-
rOguing and summoning the skupts-
china. MiIan's Austrian views did not
suit the Radicals and they demanded a
further amendment of the constitution
permitting the chamber to meet indie
pendentlY of the royal pleasure, and
vesting the representatives of the peo-
pie with the power of declaring peace
and war. There was not the least
chance of the revision committee adyiS-
ing such sudden and revolutionary
change, but, unfortunately for Austria,
Milan's difficulties with his wife caused
him to be regarded by his subjects with
sentiment of very ill-disguised and
very well deserved contempt. Conse-
ouently at the recent election the Radi-
Gals were returned with fair working
majority. Milan would have abdicated
then but for the want of sufficient
means to support something approach
ing royal state in private life.
But the king was poor and dare not ask
the Servian people for substantial re-
firing allowance, SO he chose the only
alternative and knocked under to the
Radicals. The revised constitution was
crrt,y fn1 To fr,r ,.s,.n
Radical lines and the situation tempo
rarily patched up. Finally this week
MN. Gruitch and Ristics concluded to
grant Milan an allowance out of the
state treasury, so that he might leave
the country, as longer stay would pro-
woke disturbances throughout Servia
and precipitate action on the part of
both Russia and Austria by compelling
both powers to support their party in
Servia.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK In BULGARIA
is also about as black as possible. The
relations between M. Stambouloff, the
prime minister, and Prince Ferdinand.
have become so strained that either
the one or the other must go, and either
event would be favorable to Russian in
terests in the Balkans. Both NJ. STAN
bouloff and the prince are pro-Austrian
politically, but the estrangement lies in
the fact that Ferdinand desires the min
lister of war, Gel. Mutkuroff, removed.
The latter however, is NJ. StambOuloff's
brOther-in-law, of whose vote he is al
ways certain. Prince Ferdinand COM
plains that he is a nonentity, and main
tains that he ought to be the actual
head of the army, instead of be-
ing, as he is, only the nominal
one. nj. Shareholders party has
n I-rO Nh,
and the prime minister declines to ac-
the persecution to which M. Stamboul-
off, the liking MAKER" subjected Maj.
PapOff. one of the best Bulgarian Off
GERS and one of the heroes of the Ser
Wan war, has engendered feelings of
deep irritation throughout the country
against The premier which may result
in his overthrow. If some means of ex-
tricatiOn are not speedily devised for
way out of the difficulty between the
prince and his minister. the conse-
quences will be very important. The
present situation in Roumania is SINH
lar to that of Servia. Pro Russian and
anti-Russian lines are so sharply drawn
that the pro-Russians, who are in the
majority, may at any moment compel
King Charles to abdicate, while the
state OF politics in Hungaria only in
vites Russian ascenancy and assures the
weakness of the Triple Alliance.
Neither Nine. Adam in the Nouvelle
Revue, nor the writer in the Contempt
rary Review gave the origin of the bad
feeling which sprang up between the
Prince of Wales and Count Herbert Bis
marck. at the time of the late Emperor
Frederick's funeral. 1t is learned on
undOubted authority that
THE GOODNESS AROSE
from the cavalier manner in which the
count treated the Prince of Wales when
the latter attempted to fulfill delicate
