COMMONS DID NOT ADJOURN.
Leader BaIfOur Advised Against II
ms Likely TO Create False Impress


London, June 24-The House of
Commons was crowded to-day by
members and others who were anx-
ious to hear the expected statement
of the government leader, A. ]. Bal
four, on the subject of the Kings ILL
ness. After reading the early bulle-
tin referring to his majesty's Illness,
Mr.. Balfour said he had intense graft
fication in saying that a successful
operation had been performed on the
King and that his majesty was pro-
crossing as well as possible.
That announcement" continued Mr..
Balfour removes a great load Of
anxiety from our minds. My first in
clination on hearing the melancholy
news this morning was to suggest the
House mark it's sense of the disaster
which has befallen the whole commu-
nifty. by adjourning. But on more
careful reflection, l have come to the
conclusion that such a course is ill-ad-
vised. l have come to the conclusion
that If the House was to take the ex-
ceptional course TO which / have adj
verted. that which is now anxiety in
the public mind might become
panic and wholly exaggerated
idea of the present state of things

status of Affairs Is Grave.
1.-THE status of things is undoubtedly
grave, but we ought not to use strong
er epithets in regard to IL than those
have used. and | am convinced that IL
we were to consider the Kings condi-
ton to be such that 1t would be i'm
proper to carry on the business of the
country we should produce a wholly
false impression"
The Liberal leader Sir Henry Camp
bell-BanneTman, expressed his entire
approval of the course taken by Mr..
Balfour and the House resumed its Or
binary business.
Just before the adjournment of the
House Mr.. Balfour announced that the
condition of King Edward had not
changed and that His Majesty was
progressing satisfactorily.
Salisbury to the Peers.
London, June 24--Lord. Salisbury, in
the House of Lords, said:
"All we can do at present is to hope
and pray for the best. and console
ourselves with the knowledge that the
surgeons entertain a most satisfactory
view In regard to the progress of the
distinguished patient. More definite
language than this is impossible An
operation of singular severity has been
performed and leaves behind it every
hope of prosperous issue
Some weeks will in the
best event elapse before his Majesty is
restored to his usual health. No ac-
ton can be taken by the House while
matters are in a state of transition.
but / think we have every ground to
hope that the issue will be q favora-
BILE one, and that we shall be able
to return to our ordinary avocations
at an early period"

ing palace lights is now more bent on
celebrating than sympathizing. Wagon
loads of rowdies are on the streets.
they are driving all sorts OF vehicles
and waving flags and hugging demi-
johns of liquors. They make their
noisy way from the West End to
Whitechapel. They represent that Sec
ton CT the British public which no
tragedy can sober into decency. They
have tasted license unrestrained by
law in the celebrations in connection
with the war, and King or no King,
they will celebrate the coronation.
1t must be admitted that the jewellers
have been misled by the technical Ian
guage of the bulletins; they seem TO
have no conception of the gravity OF
King Edwards condition. The thinking
portion of the city, however have gone
home numbed with what the day has
brought forth.

HIS EYES DANCE
When His Good Drink Comes.

A coffee that will nourish and furnish
all the food required to rear baby is
evidently easy food for an adult to di-
gest and is especially applicable where
ordinary coffee does not agree.
The wife of a Congregational minister
gives an experience: 1T is rather curl
Gus, the manner in which / came to
adopt Postum for my baby. My hus-
band used to be troubled greatly with
bilious headaches and extreme nervous
ness. This was about five years ago.
We concluded that coffee and tea were
the cause of his troubles and so gave
Postum Food Coffee trial At first we
did not like 1t because 1t was not boiled
long enough, and seemed weak and
tasteless, but after preparing 1t prop
erly, and that is easy, we became very
fond of it. and now can honestly say
we prefer it to any coffee or tea.
The old headaches and nervousness
have disappeared and we both enjoy
very much better health.
When one of our children was year
old he would not drink milk so we tried
him on Postum Coffee, and from the
first he liked it and it agreed with him
perfectly so Postum has been his drink
now for over four years.
About ten months ago DdDy boy
came to our house. / was, of course,
anxious to have good nourishment for
him and so drank from five to eight
cups of Postum during the day. This
with little Grape-Nuts Food each day
was all the nourishment / took, and al
though the baby weighed only five
pounds at birth he weighed twelve and
one-half pounds at three months and at
four months fifteen pounds. Now he
weighs twenty-three pounds.
About three weeks ago the little fell
low suddenly weaned himself much TO
our surprise. / tried him on cows milk
but he would not have IT. then tried
a certain baby food, then another, but
he would have neither / felt very
anxious about him, but remembering
experimenting with another boy with
Postum ! gave him some. which he
drank with the greatest relish. IL
agreed with him perfectly. so he lived
on II for one week. Since then he has
learned 10 eat a little other food but he
prefers Postum Coffee 10 anything else.
and looks perfectly delighted when he
sees me coming with A. ! said the
other morning. i wish the Postum
Company could see baby baby drink

THE KANSAS P0PULISTS.
Deal With Democrats for Fusion
scheme Goes Through.

Scheme Goes Through.
Topeka, Kan, June 24.-The Peo-
pies Party state convention tonight
completed the nomination of the fol-
lowing ticket:
Justice of the Supreme Court, four
years, Frank Doster, Marion; six
years, E. 5. Waterbury, Lyons; B. F.
Milton. Ford.
Congressman-at-large, ]. D. Botkin,
Cowley; lieutenant governor, F. B.
Close, Ellis: attorney general, f. NJ.
Pearl, Brown; treasurer, D. w. Hef-
neblower, Miami superintendent Of
public instruction, F. c. Powell, Reno;
superintendent of insurance, d. ].
Hart. Norton.
The convention was the scene of a
lively contest all day over the question
of fusion with the Democrats. There
We're a large number of straight-out
Popullsts in the convention who want
ed g. ticket nominated without reference
TO the wishes of the Democrats. While
THIS element was numerous enough to
put up a strong fight, ii could not
control the policy of the convention.
Fusion accordingly was adopted. The
above ticket was submitted to the
Democratic State convention late to-
night and will become a part of the
Democratic ticket. The Democrats in
their convention at Wichita last night
nominated governor and the other
state officers except those to-day chosen
by the Populists. By this combination
the allied forces hope to overcome the
provisions of the anti-fusion law.
The resolutions reaffirm tine princi-
pies of the last national platform, de-
mand the initiative and referendum, en-
dorse the declarations of the Demo-
cratic state platform on the subjects
of trusts, railway corporation and tax
government ownership of railroads.
The Republican party is denounced for
its subserviency to trusts and COM
bines, it's maintenance of a duty on
trust made goods and its refusal to
provide relief for Cuba.

Not only was the illness of King Ed

The operation is practically the same
as for appendicitis; In fact the physi-
clan said until the operation has been
performed il is impossible to determine
whether the disease is appendicitis or
perityphylitis, the difference is so
slight The danger from the operation
depends largely upon the condition of
the patient. The cause of the disease
is perhaps more remote than in appen-
dicitis, as IL is Inflammation
of the tissues surrounding
the vermiform appendix. Under ordi-
nary conditions the patient should re-
cover from the operation in short
time, a few weeks at the longest.

it, and both of them repeatedly ac-.
knowledged the silent and sympathetic
greetings of the people gathered
around the palace gates and in the
Mall.
Many Fashionable Callers.
At the ambassadors entrance an end
less stream of smart carriages depos-
tied distinguished people of all ma
tons, who struggled to get in and
write their names in the visitors book,
forming a brilliant scene, as the wo-
men wore light summer dresses and
nearly all drove up in state. The small
hall where the visitors book is kept
soon became packed. AS some of the
visitors departed others entered and
the crowd outside steadily increased in
number Until 4 p. m. close vigil was
kept within the palace. Nearly all Of
the members of the royal families,
with whom were Lord Salisbury, Mr..
Balfour Lord Roberts and other lead
ing men of England, anxiously awaited
word from the sick room. After the
o'clock bulletin had been issued, the
watchers, one by one, went out all
looking more cheerful The Duke of
Connaught, who was in full uniform.
seemed to be particularly pleased with
his brothers condition.
The best opinion seems to be that no
less than three months postponement
of the coronation is inevitable, and
even in the event of the Kings recovery
the browning of His Majesty will GER
tainly be shorn of all its arranged for
glories.
Coronation Stands Come Down.
The work of demolishing the stands
the coronation pageant was in full
swing during the latter part of the
afternoon. Hundreds of workmen who
this morning were engaged in putting
finishing touches on the various jobs
were at work tearing down all that
has taken weeks to accomplish. The
barriers in the streets were being
removed, the barricades merchants had
constructed to safeguard their shop
windows were rapidly disappearing,
vans filled with garlands and multi
colored bunting stripped from masts
and house fronts lined the streets and
London promised soon to resume its
usual dullneSs.
VIII BE Many Heavy Losers.
The loss of the insurance companies
commercial companies and private in
dividuals had taken out policies to
cover them from the loss of receipts
from stands and the cost of decorations
in the event of the coronation cere-
money not occurring. Where specula-
tors and householders did not take
such PRECAUTIONS the losses will in
many cases mean an approach to
bankruptcy.
Late in the Afternoon kilograms from
the provinces and abroad commenced
to arrive. They all evnced the pro-
found concern occasioned by the news
of the Kings condition.
In hastily summoned meetings of
public bodies in London and through
out the United Kingdom resolutions
have been passed expressing the most
profound grief coupled with express
ions Of hope that IT may please the
Almighty to speedily restore the King
to health.
The acute anxiety which has natur-
ally seized the United Kingdom has
quite overshadowed all traces of disap-
pcintment at the postponement of the
coronation.
An extraordinary issue Of the Ca
Zette, published this evening, officially
announces the indefinite postponement
of the coronation.
