| All the royal princes called personally
on the Prince of Wales and babe him
goodbye. The majority of them will
! leave London, tomorrow morning, for
| their respective countries.
| An order issued. tonight, by the
archbishop of Canterbury and the
archbishop of York, appointed special
forms for the intercession services to
be held next Thursday.
The best-informed opinion places the
date of the coronation in about three
months, provided King Edward pro
crosses we'll in the meantime.
In spite of the royal wish that the
provincial celebration be carried out as
arranged. many towns have abandoned
the festivities which were to be held.
Among the hundreds Of postpone
ments caused by the sudden illness of
the King is that of the publication of
the list of coronation honors.
The harvest Portsmouth expected to
reap from the naval review will now
be lost.
Queen Alexandra has borne the
strain Of the past week with the brav-
est spirit. She was always fearful of
what might happen. Her Majesty took
her part i'm the festivities at Ascot and
elsewhere without revealing any sign
of her inward anxiety, and when she
was told. today that an operation was
imperative and that the coronation
would have to be postponed. she quietly
answered: Have | not felt that this
would happen?" and asked: How does
the King bear it?" Upon receiving an
assuring reply the Queen exerted her
self to appear cheerful and to devise
means to lessen the Kings grief and
disappointment.
The idea was mooted in some quar-
ters. today, that with a view of pre-
venting the disappointment of the pub
lie, Queen Alexandra should be crowned
alone. next Thursday, and the King
should be crowned in a comparatively
private manner, upon his recovery.
This idea was discussed, but it was re-
jected as proceeding calculated to
mslead the public mind as to the pure
" relative importance of the Queen
ConSort.
The Pope and the King of Italy and
inquiries concerning King Edwards
progress, and dispatches received from
all parts of the world reflect the in
tensity of feeling occasioned by the un
expected news Of His Majesty's illness
and sympathy with the British nation.
The Daily Telegraph says that when

feared His Majesty's present physical
and nervous condition would prove UNI
equal to the strain involved. There is
consequently intense anxiety as to the
outcome.
The Kings doctors believe that His
Majesty would have been dead before
now except for the operation. His con-
dition became 50 alarming. last night,
that at one time it was feared death
might ensue before the surgeons knife
could afford him relief. Intense swell
ing of the eXtremities, accompanied by
alarming symptoms of modification,
constituted the emergency which de-
manded an immediate operation.
To the last the King tried to avoid
this, and he was willing to be carried
10 the Abbey for the coronation cere-
mony in order that it should occur as
arranged. The influence of Queen Alex
andra was enlisted, and at an early
hour, this morning, the royal patient
was prepared for the operation. which,
even in the skillful hands of England's
best surgeons, was fraught with grave
danger.

MR.. WRITINGS RECITAL.

Ii is one Of the contradictions with which the
music reviewer comes in contact that while he
must recognize the unwisdom of artist giving a
concert devoted exclusively TO the music of single
classic composer, even a Beethoven he must also
view with an suspicious eye the devotion OF an en-
tire concert programme to the work OF a young
composer OF to-day, especially If he be an Amerl-

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBJNEl
Albany. Nov. Estate Engineer Bond has just
issued circular letter addressed to the chairmen
OF the boards of supervisors of the State, calling
their attention to the fact that for the three
years an annual session of the Supervisors High
way Convention has been held in Albany, and that
a fourth will be held in January next Mr. Bond
asks the Supervisors to bring this matter TO the
attention of their various boards. and invite the
appointment Of at least three delegates to the
vention.
In his letter the State Engineer says that the acts
OF the legislature may surely be taken as evidence
OF the feeling of the people. He points that
the increase in the appropriations for good roads
from $4,000 in 1895 the OF Ss2OOO last winter
is the best evidence of the growth Of the good
roads Improvement.
He also states that in addition TO the roads al
ready completed and those which now under
construction the boards of supervisors through
out the State have approved the plans and appro-
prlated one-nalf Of the cost OF about three hun
dred and forty miles Of roads. These counties have
thus promised their one-half share Of a grand
