At the National Assembly he took the oath of office last week, listened to a great funeral oration from Premier Uzunovitch while Deputies roared out "Slavu Mu! Glory to Him!" at every mention of the dead King. Eyes kept turning from the pale Prince Regent to another figure behind him. grizzled, bristling General Pera Zivkovitch, by tradition the man who let the murderers of Alexander Obrenovitch into the royal palace, virtual dictator for three years under...
