False Reports Denied.
Recently the Scandinavian press has pub
ished various rumors to the effect that
the abdication OF the king of Greece il
about to be announced. 1t was added that
his majesty's palace at Copenhagen was
being prepared for his reception.
From an authoritative source I learn
that these reports are entirely devoid OF
! foundation. AS matter of fact, the king
palace is let for the next three years, and
his relatives and friends here all deny that
he has any intention of abdicatinR.
