NEITHER filS VII E NOR SON THERE He Retained Possesion of (lis faculties Until Within Quarter of sn Hour of Hli Death Body to be Interred In Slavonla. Vleuoa, Feb. IS.-Kx-Klng Milan, of Servia Is dead, lie passed ft sleep night and was suable to take suffi cient nourishment. Tbe remain will be interred at Kronchol, a sacred iiionaslio shriue Iu Syruila, Slavonla, with the honors due a member of the reigning dynasty. The illness began with inftueusa. Milan left his bed too quick lj, aud tbe result was pneumonia. The doctor also found laty degeneration of tbe heart, which was tbe actual cause of death, as tbe danger immediately at la ing from tbe luug trouble bad been overcome, rearlug a latal Issue, the doctors caused messages to le aent King Alexander and ex (Juren Natalie, but although Milan desired to see them aud himself sut messages re questing their pretence, neither came. Natalie's reply, which was to the ef fect that she would come If her pres ence was really desired, reached hint just before death. Kmperor Frauds Joepb, who sent an aid-de-camp to the deathbed, has ordered a military funeral, as Milan was formerly the colouel of an Austrian regiment. It was Milan's written wish that he should be buried a Hvr mia. lie said be had been greatly disappointed at the absence of bis son, whose ingratitude bas provoked much comment in Vienua. According to the Neue Freie I'resse, he said to hie ' physician: "1 feel that 1 must die, but it is very sad to be coin pel ld to die at 47." Kx-KIng Milan, who was ,born In 1854, abdicated the throne in lavor of bis ton, Alexander I, March 6, 1889. The tdrcumstanree that coin jxi limit be king to abdicate arose from tbe policy that be bad pursued at tbe beginning of bis reign, both in domestic and for eign affairs. The new Seivlan consti tution was adopted by the grand kop slitiua January 2, 1899, bv a majority of 491 votes against 75. The miuUtry of Nlkol Cristlcb resigned. The king was unwilling to appoint a radical cabinet, and, applied first to, Jovii Itlstlcb, but could not induce that statesman to form ft cabinet. Ihe radicals refused to take Olllce unless Tuschnovicli. revolutionist, who bad been condemned to death for participa tion iu tbe llmok valley tprisln , should bo given the portfolio of the in terior. The king's throne was at stake. He determined to appoint liberal pre fects aud sub-prefeuts, and attempted by pressure on the people to bric in a liberal majority in tne elections in tbe autumn. The radicals became en raged at the determination to exclude them, from cilice. Cristich was un willing to play so dangerous a gamo, and told King Milan that it was im possible for him to remain m office. Milan abdicated the throne in the pres ence of the miulsters and chief digni taries, and the members of the diplo matic body assembled In the konah to celebrate the anniversary of the elec tion of Servia into a kingdom in 1882. On being promised a liberal yearly al lowance, he jrood In 1888 to go into perpetual cdiu. It was decidod that tjueen Natalie should likewise live abroad.
