Md. u2i-3u | turned a deaf ear to Ex-King Milan Returns to Servia's Capital. The Former Ruler Welcomed Joy- fully by His Son—s: ry of Hin Stormy Career. Ex-King Milian of Servia left Saturday evening for the Servian capital. The Serv- jan cabinet ministers were informed of his plan as soon as he started from Buda Pesth. At midnight the council was con- vened in haste, and the radical leaders re- solved to resign forthwith. Gen. Gruitch tendered their resignations to King Alex- ander yesterday morning, saying that he and his colleagues were unwilling to retain the responsibilities of offices after the ar- rival of Milan. The ex-king reached Belgrade yesterday afternoon, and was welcomed joyfully by his son. The skuptschina will meet today, and some decisive step is likely to be taken at once. Alexander gave assurances of his intention to adhere strictly to the| constitution, but nobody feels sure of his icy, and the excitement and anxiety in igrade run very high. There is a rumor that M. Smitsch, Servian minister to A\ tria-Hungary, has been called to form a cabinet. The radical party committee have decid- ed to expel Gen. Gruitch and his three colleagues from the party, alleging that) they betrayed party secrets to the king. It is rumored that ex-King Milan intends to resume supreme command of the Servian army. The Expul of Milan. The return of ex-King Milan Obrenovich | IV to the Servian capital is another dra-| matic incident in his sensational career. His troubles with his wife, the beautiful Natalie, ending in their separation und di-| vorce, were the gossip in the royal circles | of Europe for months. Natalie was tor years, and more especially since the war between Bulgaria and Servia, the promoter, | if not the actual ringleader, of the innum- | erable Pansiavist plots for the overthrow of | her husband and the succession to the throne of her little boy, with herself as re- gent and the czar of Russia as suzerain. A Widespread Plot. The last of these plots, according to her enemies, was a most widespread one. An/| immense number of officers and several of | ed. the principal commanding generals were at the head of the movement. King Milan / was to be kidnaped and forced to sign an abdication, failing in which he was to be murdered in cold blood, like his predecessor and uncle. The young crown prince, aged twelve, was to be proclaimed king and (Queen Nuibe Tesch. ane Wao vi Lue cabinet inet un power, heaved wy Line prime Muster, Gruitcu, a Aeveicu adhere. va Awussla, Were CopMizuNt vi Lhe pict, ana, in Tact, tacitly sunctuoned it, ana We arcu- bisnop of seigraue wha the olner dervian premies haiea with Gdelignt ie end o1 ese | ly_applicable RENEWING CHARTERS. Mr. Thomas Approves Amending the Laws of the District. House bill 4,950 to amend section 553 of the revised statutes of the United States relating to the District of Columbia, was reported upon by the attorney for the Dis- trict today. The bill proposes to amend the section So as to read as follows: “The term of its existence shall be such number of years, or perpetual, as may be stated in the certificate. “That any corporation heretofore organ- ized under the aforesaid section of the re- vised statutes may renew its charter for any stated number of years, or become perpetual, by filing in the office of the re« corder of deeds of the District of Columbia @ certificate of its trustees to that effect, signed and acknowledged by them.” Mr. Thomas in his opinion on the bill says: “I have carefully considered this matter and have reached the conclusion that the amendment is proper and one that should be favorably recommended to Con- gress. It is undoubtedly true public policy provide for the incorporation ot oncpeee, ‘ions, either public or private, by general statutes enacted for that Judge Dillon in speaking of this policy in refer- ence to corporations for municipal says: a5 It and abuse in preventing extraordinary grants of special powers. 2.

On April 27, two days before the date mxed ior the outbreak, the leater of the opposition im parliament, M. Custics, visited the king and disclosed to him not only the danger threatening his throne, but also the com- plicity of the cabinet ministers in the at- fair. Scared almost to death, Milan sum- moned Herr von uller, the Aus- trian envoy, to the paiace, and after sol- emnly himself under Austrian pro- tection implored him for advice as to what was to be done. At Herr von sengeimui- ler's suggestion he immediately dispatched letters aismissing M. Grultch and nis col- leagues, and appointed at midnight M. Chrisutch as prime minister in his place. The new premier, whose prociivities, like those of tne king, were thoroughly Aus- trian and anti-Russian, immediately took steps to checkmate the conspirators, and the projected revolution degenerated into a few comparatively unimportant though inary It was tne discovery of this plot that was the immediate cause of the definite rupture between Milan and his wife. Austrian by education, relationship and in all his sym- Pathies, Milan was thoroughly out of touch with his subjects, who one and all abhor Austria, and are thoroughly Russian in their proclivities. Both the royal and the national treasuries were empty, as the last three cabinets feared, for political reasons, to force the peasants to pay the heavy ar- rears of taxes due. The ministry, unpop- ular throughout the country on account of its adoption of a pro-Austrian policy, still further incurred popular hatred by the adoption of stringent measures for the re- covery of all unpaid taxes, and its tenure of office was an exceedingly short one. With the army, the clergy and the People against him, Milan would have abandoned his tottering throne long before and retired to the delights of a iSe of pleasure, either at Vienna or Paris, had it not been for the Austrian government, which insisted on his remaining at his perilous post, sorely against his will. The Vienna Landerbank, one of the greatest financial establishments of Austria, has enormous sums of money invested in Servia, and altogether, apart from Austria’s obvious political objections to Belgrade becoming a Russ'an fortress, the more or less direct absorption of King Milan’s dominions by Russia would have involved Austria in a widespread and‘ ter- rible financial disaster. King Milan was extremely anxious to se- but the holy synod his petition, for not Church ex- cure a full divorce, only is the orthodox Greek tremely avérse to the almost to a man. Consequently, the Serv- ian sovereign was obliced to content him- self with a legal separation a mensa et thoro, and the banishment of the queen from Servian territory. She went to Wies- baden, as already stated, taking with her ~ od os Alexander. in July, ‘ing Milan demanded aid of the authorities of Hease-Neseau ne force his wife to surrender to him the crown prince. She was forcibly robbed of her child, and was refused domicile in Wiesbaden and Vienna. The scene that occurred at Wiesbaden was certainly not an edifying spectacle, where her son was taken from her by force by the German police, under orders from Prince Bismarck. The queen was then ordered to leave Ger- man territory within twenty-four hours, and she became throneless and childless and a royal wanderer in the world. It was arranged that the prince should reside with bis father at Belerade. and that Queen Natalie would be allowed to see him once each vear. Milan’s Abdication. The next step in the drama was the ab- dication of King Milan in favor of his son on March 6, 1889. The son was to reign under the regency of MM. Ritstich, Beli- markoviteh and Provitch. The abdication was considered a surrender to the radical party. A strong party demanded Natalie's return, and she went back to Belgrade on October 29, 1889. Various conditions as to the visit had been laid down by Milan, but the government would not allow him to re- move the young sovereign from Belgrade, in order to prevent Natalie from seeing . Natalie to consent to the im- position of any conditions, and finally she was allowed to see her son. A house in was taken by her for a year, and she was allowed to visit the young ‘king on Sundays and saints’ days. Natalie Expelled. “On May 18, 1891, an attempt that at first failed was made by order of the Servian government to expel Natalie from Servia. She was being conveyed in a carriage to- ward a quay in Belgrade, where a vessel was waiting to convey her from the coun- try, when she was rescued by a band of university students, who took her back to her residence and afterward defended it. Soldiers, however, were brought upon the scene, and after severe conflicts, in which many persons were killed and wounded, Natalie was in the early morning of the following day seized and taken to the rail- way station, whence she was sent by train into Austria-Hungary.
