THE ARGUMEST CONCLUDED,

EI'GoV. Wilson Appears for Hlmself-A
DeClsiou Expected This Week.
CHARLESTON, W. vAr March lO,-The
argument in the Gubernatorial contest
was resumed yesterday morning In the
Court ot'Appeals by Ex-Governor vii.
son, After speaking two hours and fifty
minutes, time was called on him by the
Court, and the case was submitted. II
there was any argument In the speech
1t was hardly dlsCernible. To call Il
logical would be libel upon the
memory OF Archbishop Whately.
To assert that II partook OF the
character Of constitutional argument
would be an insult to the memory Of
Chief Justice Marshall and his illustrious
successors. 1t is but characterized as an
abundance OF words strung together
illogically, and uttered with much sound
and fury, accompanied with Contortions
that would have done credit TO aground
tumbler. 1t made no perCepti6le i'm.
preston on the assemblage or Court,
except that feeling OF lassitudo which
overComes the listener who is bored by
the speaker.
The court adjourned till Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock, when it is ex.
peCted lhata decision will be handed
down.
Now that the argument is concluded
and the case submitted, It is apparent
that the public feeling Is with Governor
GoG, and being pronounced that he Is
entitled to tho office. This feeling Is
growing day by day, and Democrats are
more pronounced In their utteranCes rs
the time passes.

LONDON, March l0,-King Milan, o
servia, has wound up his shameless ant
erratic reign by an exhibition Of rank
cowardice. After tormenting Europe fol
years with his enigmatical vagaries, he
has capped the climax Of his crimes by
rendering up his l3-year.old son to hi
enemies. There Is no luck in l3, The
x.Kings most Cogent reason for abdi,
eating his throne would seem to be that
his back hair was falling out, He with
stood the proddings OF Austria, the af.
fronts Of Russia, the antagonism OF his
people, the sarcasm OF his Queen, whom
he had put away from him, and the
jibes and jeers Of all Europe; but when
his hair grew too thin 1t was too much,
He wrote to q friend In Vienna: "No.
body knows what suffer- Ihave turn.
cd gray aud my hair Is parting from me.
/ suffer terribly from nervousness"
The question was whether the King
should stand by his son and lose his
hair, or renounce his son aud kingdom
so as to retain the hirsute thatch. Milan
deserted his country at a critical hour.
Russia's victory Is notable and distinct.
Alexander OF Bulgaria went first, and
now II is the King Of Servia. The next
victim OF the implaCable and tireless
diplomacy Of st. Petersburg will be King
Charles OF Roumania.
HIS CAREER.
Milan l., ex.King OF Serviu, was born
August %, 1854, He was the son Of
MiloS 0brenovic aud succeeded to the
throne as Prince Milan Obrenovic w.,
and was confirmed by the election of the
Servian National Assembly, after the as.
sassination OF his uncle, Prince Mlchail
Obrenovic Ill, on June 10, 1868. He
was crowned Prince OF Belgrade aud as.
sumed the government on August 90,
1872, and was proclaimed King on
March 0, 1882.
King Milan was married on October
II, 1875, to Natalie, daughter Of Colonel
Keschko, OF the Russian Imperial Guard.
The Queen was born in 1850 and was
divorced from her royal husband on 0c.
tober "a, 1885. The accession OF Alexan.
der l, her son, involves her return from
exile. Their only offspring Is a son,
Alexander, the new King, who was
born on August "A, 1875. Two wars
make Milan's reign memorable. Twelve
years ago he attacked Turkey, when the
Intervention OF Russia saved his PrinCi.
pality from being reabsorbed by the vic.
torious power. Hardly three years have
passed since Milan was defeated in Q
war with Bulgaria.
A PROPAGATE KING.
For years the life OF King Milan has
been one Of proaigacy and violent ex
cesses. He shared with Prince Rudolf
the honor OF being the most dissolute
man in Europe, and the violent death o.
the Crown Prince OF Austria, at the cul
mination OF career OF debauChery, un
doubtedly affected the King Of Servia.
Milan leaves his throne 10 20 of with
Madame Christich. She has a lot OIL
money from her father, who Is banker
in Constantinople. Tie pair will settle
down in some quiet spot In Greece
There is Mr.. Christich, but he is Of Q
shadowy, nebulous and mystic character
and that part OF him which has n tangi
bic existence is understood 10 be quite
ready for divorce.
