Rumors in London That Edward

AILMENT LUMBAGO.

London, Oct. 4.-The coincidence of
the announcement of King Edwards
indisposition with the publication of
revived rumorS regarding cancer, in
the newspapers of Copenhagen, from
which city his majesty has just re-
turned and where secrets of the Brit
ish court are more likely to leak out
than elsewhere. is causing some COM
motion here and the fact that the Gus
tomary court circular does not appear
in this mornings papers adds to the
uneasy feeling, which is not allaysd by
the explanation of the kings .ndispo-
sition given by Sir Francis Laking. his
majesty's physician.
Sir Francis is in no way a specialist
and is paying merely a social visit at
Balmoral. A story is in circulation
among the clubs, purpurting 20 come
from titled member of the late
Queen Victorias household, giving
color to the cancer story and saying
that court circles are discussing the
possibility of no coronation taking place
next year. 1t is impossible, however,
to obtain tangible cOrrOborative evil
dence of this report.
1t was ascertained this evening that
King Edwards complaint is lumbago,
but the attack is not at all serious.
Aberdeen, Oct. 4.-Sir James Reid,
the distinguished physician who is
staying in this vicinity has been sum-
moned to Balmoral. The Aberdeen
Evening News says King Edward is
suffering from lumbago.

ENGLAND DISAPPOINTED
OVER RESULT OF RACE.

London, Oct 5.-There is a feeling Of
supreme disappointment in London
over the failure of the Shamrock II to
win even a single race. Those who de-
nOunced Sir Thomas Lipton's ambition.
asserting that he was using his yacht
to advance his business interests. now
realize that his sportsmanlike efforts
deserve a better result.
The question is raised here whether
the defeat Of the challenger was due
to the superiority Of American seaman
ship or the better constructive ability
of the Americans. With a view of set
Ting the question the Daily Express
has CO bled Commodore Morgan and Sir
Thomas Upton suggesting that they
should arrange a race with the Column
bias crew on board the Shamrock II
and the crew of the challenge on board
the defender.
Tha morning papers are unanimous
in admitting that the challenger was
fairly and squarelg beaten by a better
boat. Most of the papers are gratified
tht Sir Thomas LiptCn's public spirited
action should have stimulated interna-
tionsl good will beside resulting in the
finest and c osest race ever witnessed
in the history OF yachting.
The Daily Chronicle says far more
Importance than the result of the con-
test itself is the friendly spirit in which
il was waged from the start to the
finish. "Sir Thomas Upton says he
would rather win American good will
than the cup, and we cannot doubt
that. though he has missed the latter
he has gone far to attest the former
and infinitely more important purpose. -
Sir Thomas Upton" observes the
STANDARD, has shown himself a thor
OUgh sportsman. He deserves the graf
itude Of the English people for the
splendid front he has made"
