PRINCE CONSTANTINE. Her period of the war, had been at'Sa foniki since December, when the Turk Esh fortress was occupied by the Greeks after a short siege.
 King George in December had q meeting at Saloniki with King Ferdi nand of Bulgaria, and it is supposed that they discussed the fate of the cap tured Turkish territory after the war
 A previous attempt to assassinate him was made in 1898, but was frus- trated.
 Grown Prince Constantine, who has been in active command of the Greek troops throughout the hostilities in the eastern part of Turkey, in Europe, and whon was at the head of the army whieh recently captured the Turkish fortress of Janina with its garrison of 32,0OO men, will be the successor of his father. He is married to Prin- cess. Sophia, a sister of the German Emperor William II.
 Apart from being king, King George of Greece, was remarkable parsonage kn many respects. He was both grave and segious and at the same time gay and hmlable. When he presided over the cabinet councils held at the palace he .astonished the ministers by the elearness of his judgment, his great perspicacity and good humor which never left him.
 When he was midshipman in the Danish navy he never dreamed that he would be the successor of King Dtho of Bavaria The national assem- bly proclaimed him king of the Hell lenes on March 30, 1863. He was then seventeen years old. having been born on Dec. A, 1845. On Oct 30 of the same year he arrived at Athens, and mounted the throne.
 Next to the emperor Of Austria he was the oldest of the sovereigns of Europe His figure was well known in Paris, where he was seen every year. He was the most "Parisian' monarch to be found in the world. Of medium stature and martial bearing. with eyes soft and expressive, he pre- served the Danish type almost intact, in spite of the fact that in Greece he was an Athenian of Athenians.
 King George as the father of fam lily served as a model. The first thing he thought of was the education and welfare of his children. At the time ef the departure of King George for Erete, about a year ago, there was a painful sceue at the palace.
 Ha was connected with the English royal family.

 Attorney Maxey contended that his conviction was frame up on the part of Federal Attorney Whipple and Secret Service Officer Pierce.
