The King of Servia has signed a decree placing upon
the retired list the officers, six in number, who were principally concerned in the murder of the late King and Queen. King Peter and his Prime Minister, M. Pasitch, are to be con- gratulated on at last taking a step which will restore their country to the community of European nations. While the assassins remained in office it was impossible for us to countenance the Government which tolerated and protected them. That difficulty is now removed, and in all likelihood we shall soon see an English representative again at Bel- grade. We sincerely trust that the bloody and useless quarrels between the rival houses of Servia have come to an end, and that that distracted country may have before it a career of peace and prosperity such as Roumania has long enjoyed.
