A QUEEN IN A HURRY

MARIE RUSHES FOR TRAIN BREAKS NECKLACE ON PLATFORM OPERATION ON KING DELAYED I By Telegraph.—Pras* Assn.—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association* , (Received December 2, 7.1(f p.m.) PARIS, December 2. An alarmist report that a state ol siege had been declared in Bucharest, is discredited, but the tact is that yuecu Marie, cut short her stay after a consultation with General Angelesco, Marshal of the Rumanian Court, who brought the latest advices from Bucharest. The Queen departed by ordinary train, without jvaiting for dinner, in such a rush that she broke a pearl necklace on the station platform. 1 Professor Hartmann will not operate on King Ferdinand until after the Queen’s arrival. The operation is expected to remove King Ferdinand’s life frqm danger, but his advisers feel it would be unwise to take risks until he has seen the Queen. It is expected that Marie will be made a member of the Council of Regency, which at present consists of Princess Helen, Prince Nicholas, the head of the Rumanian Church, and the President of the Court of Cassation. In such a -combination the Queen would obviously be the dominating force. General Angelesco informed Prince Carol that he would be permitted to see his father in a private capacity. The possibility of his reinstatement as heir, however, was more remote. The Prince himself shows no disposition to break with Madame Luoesco, or to become reconciled with Princess Helen. THE OTHER WIFE The court hearing tho suit in which Madame Lambrino sued Carol for the school fees of her son Mircea, and, furthermore, demanded that his name should be entered in tho school records as the legitimate son, decided that it was incompetent to pronounce on the case. Lambrino and Carol were absent. Lambrino is appealing. WARNING TO MALCONTENTS (Received December 2, 7.45 p.m.) BUCHAREST, December 1. King Ferdinand’s message to the Prime Minister, containing an appeal to the nation, created a profound impression. It is believed it was intended to impress on the army and other officers sympathetic with Carol that intrigues and adventures on his behalf will not be tolerated.
