Was an Imperative Necessity.

He Antagonized the Gear and His Retirement
Was an Imperative Necessity.
ST. PETERSBURG, March THE Novoe
Vremya says: THE abdication of King
Milan is a natural sequence of his estrange-
ment with Russia, which rendered his rule
impossible. King Milan's turn arrived
after that of Alexander, late Prince of Bull
garia. Roumania's turn may come sOOn."
LONDON, March THE news of King
Milan's abdicatlon from the Servian throne
does not cause much comment in London.
This act of the dissolute king has been long
fOreshadOwed, and the chief interest
the abdicatiOn excites is found in the
speculation as to what recent event
or chain of events caused Milan to relin-
quish.th throne at this particular time.
The Pail Mall Gazette congratulates Russia
on the abdicatiOn, and boldly asserts hat
Milan's principal object in thus abandon
ing his rights was that he might with more
freedom indulge his unhOly passion for
Madame Christitch, the wife of the Servian
minister at Berlin. Milan's intrigues with
this woman are well known, and ave been
related in every European capital. 1t was
because of his disgraceful connection with
Madame Christitch that the friends of
Queen Natalie sought to prevent Milan
from obtaining a divorce last year.
Alexander sent a telegram to his mother
announcing his accession, addressing her
as "Queen NATALIE He received a long
telegram in reply.
