NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Future Diplomatic Relations Between
England ard Servia.

London, June 16.-Premier Balfour
announced in the house of commons
during the day that the future diplo-
matte relations between Great Britain
and Servia were under consideration.
The subject was brought up by a
question of Gibson Bowles, Conserva-
tive, who inquired if the government
proposed to continue diplomatic rela-
tions with those concerned in the as
sassination of the king and queen Of
Servia, who had now assumed govern
r1ent of Servia; what attitude the
government intended to assume in
consequence of recent events and
whether any communications were
passing between the powers with
view to concerted action.
Mr.. Balfour replied that he could
only say at present that the matter
was under consideration. So far as
diplomatic relations were concerned
these came to an end with the death
of King Alexander because the British
representative was only accredited to
the late king.
The premier added that his answer
would probably be considered made
quate and intimated that ii Mr.. Bowles
placed his question on paper in the
regular way he might be able to give
additional information.
