ROYAL CRIME FORETOLD.
LATE MR. STEAD AND THE SERVIAN ASSASSINATIONS. A volume of reminiscences of the late Mr. William T. Stead is to be published shorty in Paris 'by M. Jean Finot, who describes Mr. Stead as the ''King of Journalists." The two writers were close friends for many years, and M. Finot lias ?. rich store of anecdotes concerning his lamented colleague. Referring to Mr. Stead's spiritualistic experiments, M. Finot relates how on one occasion a medium, in the presence of a number of witnesses, predicted the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servia. Mr. Stead was so convinced of the veracity of the prediction that he went to the Servian Minister in London and finally induced him to send a warning to his Sovereign. The warning was not heeded by the young King, and several months later the terrible Belgrade tragedy was enacted with details absolutely identical with those described ,by Mr. Stead's medium.
