A ROYAL SEPARATION.
A cokrf,spo:s t i>t:nt from Belgrade says thab the troubles which havo made life under the same roof impossible for the King and Queen of Servia are very trivial. Now that the long threatened separation is accomplished—a fact hitherto jealously guarded— the secrets of the Servian royal family may be heard mouthed over nightly in every cafiS in Belgrade. The sstoiy bold is the commonplace one of incompatibility of temper, aggravated by the action of doubtful brandy on a weak liver and brain. King 1 'Milan had never recovered from the hl-ato of neivouft depression into which ho fell after Alexander's abduction from Sophia, and his fears have led him to see a nihilist or Russian abductor in every bush, and ho has done his be^t to obscure the bush by early and late application to the bottle. The royal couple have for a long time occupied not only separate rooms butV'p.ualo wings in the palace, and the cm rent of Belgradian small talk is that the final rupture was brought about by the King's foi^etfulncss as to which wing was his.
