MURDERED MONARCH.
WEALTH OF THE LATE KING OF GREECE. Copenhagen, March 26. The deepest sorrow is felt here over the death of King George of Greece, who was very popular throughout Denmark. For the past 50 years he had been accustomed to spend six or eight weeks' holiday in Copenhagen, living like an ordinary citizen and taking interest in eyery.r thing that concerned the life of his native country. • . ( . The Royal family learned of the 'assassination through a press despatch. They were deeply moved, particularly King George's brother, Prince Valdemar, with whom he liad always maintained the closest companionship when here. Most of the King's property, to the value of possibly £4,000,000, is in Denmark. He was an excellent business man, and made a fortune dealing in real estate. He had a palace anu several houses in Copenhagen, which he bought cheap and afterwards increased in value. He also had many houses in Paris. His money and securities were all kept in banks in Paris, Vienna and London, as the stability of the Greek throne was not firm enough at times to encourage him in keeping his wealth in Greece.
