LONDON. July 3.-Everything points TO
satisfactory If somewhat prolonged con-
valescence of the King. II is expected that
the bulletins regarding his condition will
soon be reduced TO one a day. Only small
crowds haunt the board at Buckingham
Palace, which is an indication that public
confidence has been restored. Only one
physician remains at the palace through
out the night. and all OF the doctors are
able to attend to the more pressing portion
of their private practices. Sir Frederick
Treves absented himself from the palace
to-day to attend the wedding of hts only
daughter TO Maj. Define Radcliffe.
A number of coronation guests left Lon
don to-day, including the Crown Prince OF
Norway and Prince Komatsu of Japan.
Both were seen off by gatherings OF dis
tinguished persons at the station. where
every one seemed TO be in high spirits with
regard to the condition of the King.
Crowds of the soldiers now in London
make daily pilgrimages TO Buckingham
Palace to gaze at the window of his Maj
esty's apartment. while people gather TO
stare at the strange uniforms and stranger
faces of the native soldiers from distant
quarters of the empire.
A striking scene was witnessed to-day.
A big brake loaded with Fijian soldiers
drew UP in front of the palace. The men
were barelegged and bareheaded: their
frizzy hair was long and dyed. and with
their white cotton skirts and quaiut tunics~
they presented a strange spectacle, even
in cosn; opolitan London. In front OF the
palace, and to the amazement Of the as
sembled crowd, the Fijians solemnly in
toned a hymn of intercession in their ma
tive tongue. which mad been composed for
the occasion by one of their number.
The following bulletin was posted at
Buckingham Palace at O'Clock tonight
His Majesty a comfortable day. His
general condition - still further improved
and the wound now causes him compara-
lively little pain"
The first bulletin of the day posted at
lG o'clock this morning. showed the King
had passed good night. II was as fol-
lows:
The King has slept well and nothing
has occurred TO mar the excellent prog
ress his Majesty is now making"
Discussing the Kings uninterrupted prog
ress the Lancet says; II has been neces-
sary TO remove the drainage tubes.
they could not be tolerated and gauze
plugs are now used instead The wound
is granulating satisfactorily; the discharge
has diminished and is perfectly inodorous.
His Majesty's temperature has been nor
NAL since June 26. His excellent condi-
ton is admirable" D"
The British Medical Journal in express
ing a similarly satisfactory view OF the
Kings condition. says: AT no time has Il
been necessary since the operation 10 use
sedatives 10 induce the King 10 sleep. To
medical men who have read the daily bulle-
tins IL has been obvious that the state
mentS therein were entirely frank. There
was great anxiety al first. Sir Frederick
Treves did not go to bed for seven nights.
But the load of anxiety is now lightened.
If IL has not entirely disappeared. The ru-
mors regarding the Kings general health
are altogether unfounded and confidence is
now felt that, thanks in unusual de-
gree TO his sound constitution, the King
will make recovery"
