"MILAN'S CAREER ENDED. Was One of the Most Picturesque Figures in Europe. ABSOLUTE FAILURE AS A RULER Provoked the War With Bulgaria, in Which in Which Each Accused the Other of Mari- tal Infidelity. Vienna (By Cable). ~Former King Milan of Servia is dead With the death of Ex-King Milan Europe passes from view. The King was not a famous man, and Eu- his life. However, he has been one of the most interesting of those who play- ed their parts on the Continental stage during the Nineteenth Century Milan became King of Servia in 1868, Servia. Before it ended a constitution had been framed placing all real power in the hands of the Princes and a freely elected national assembly of the people. In addition, during Milan's reign, Ser via gained complete independence. This came about as a result the Russo Turkish War, 1877-1878. The wars of Milan's reign were, as a rule, unsuccess ful, however. His country was beaten by Turkey and saved only by the inter ference of Russia, and again beaten by Bulgaria in 1883 Milan's reign will be long remember ed, not because the good that ut- tended it, but because of the evils. The Court of Servia at one time was the most imfamous in Europe, and Milan avoided a revolution, in which he would have been deposed, only by abdicating in favor of his son. This abdication took place in 188g, when the son was only 13 years of age. Servia's present King was born on August 14. 1876. Be fore the abdication Milan made himself most obnoxious to his subjects by his divorce Queen Natalie. He was divorced one year before he abdicated After his abdication the ex-King led an adventurous career. His career of dis sipation in Belgrade had everyone, and divorce from Natalie had h feeling against the abdication departure hi Of ill il Of from diss during There or Monte ( quent.
