London, June %, midnight.-King
Edwards condition tonight is even
more satisfactory than has been indi-
Gated by the last bulletin He has
made a decided improvement and the
feeling at Buckingham Palace is very
hopeful. His Majesty is able to take
nourishment, he had scrambled eggs
and a little hook and soda this even
Ing and with his own hands he open ed
several kilograms. The bulletin issued
at II o'clock tonight is regarded as
intensely satisfactory This bulletin is
generally taken as being the first &C.
casion upon which the Kings doctors
have allowed themselves to express,
even to a small degree, the hopeful
feelings they undoubtedly, though pri-
vately, entertain.
Thirty-six hours have now elapsed
since the operation was performed,
and the absence of complications Gre
ates hopefulness in all quarters, all
though, as has been frequently said
in these dispatches, several days must
pass before the possibility of danger
can be eliminated.
Notwithstanding that this is the eve
that London is now even more crowd
ed with people than it was yesterday,
the scenes witnessed on the streets
tonight were in marked and pleasant
contrast with those of Tuesday even
ing. The reckless rejoicing which was
then so disgracefully prominent, was
quite unheard of tonight. Traffic
pursued its way unimpeded and even
the most popular thoroughfares were
comparatively deserted. No illumina-
tons dispelled the natural gloom
which settled over the metropolis.
The moon failed to penetrate the dark
ness over the city, and a rather cold
wind was blowing.
ciiet and depressed, the crowds walt
ed outside Buckingham Palace for the
nights final news of the sovereign.
For several hours they kept their pa
tent vigil wandering aimlessly, but
with palpable anxiety, about the open
space which fronts the royal residence.
For some reason or another feeling
pervaded the crowds that if the King
lived until tonight he would live to be
crowned.
Within the Palace.
Inside the palace all was still. Queen
Alexandra. who had been in the vicini-
ty of the sick room the entire day, dined
with a few members of the royal fami-
w. The callers who came to the palace
in the course of the evening contented
themselves with driving up to the outer
gates, where they alighted and walked
in to inquire at the equerries entrance
for the latest news. There they met
only liveried servants and small knots
of reporters. With the exception OF
these callers and the noblemen who
have the entree to the court verybody
was rigidly excluded from the palace
by the police. Lord Grey, a director OF
the British South Africa Company, and
who recently visited the United States
is among those having entree to the
court. He said to a representative OF
the Associated Press tonight that he
had good hopes for the Kings recovery
