the condition of the king:
"The king had good night and his
improved condition is maintained We

danger and his general condition salts
factory The operation wound, how
ever still needs constant attention and
such concern at attaches to his maj
esty's condition is connected with the
wound Under the most favorable cir
cumstances the kings recoverey must
of necessity, be protracted.
"The p. m. bulletin will be con-
tinued.'
.sThe king is now out of immediate
DANGER This announcement spread
quickly thruout the metropolis and
caused general rejoicing. The verdict
upon which the nation had so anXiously
waited caused longer consultation
than usual. Lord Lister, Sir Frederick
Treves and other doctors discussed the
patients condition for nearly an hour
before they committed themselves to
the important pronouncement. 1t was
read at Buckingham palace by only a
small crowd, the public being practic-
ally assured by yesterdays evenings
reports that everything was going we'll.
Yet, to use the words of the Westmin-
ster GazetteS bulletin was Full of in
tense relief" The underlying suspicion
that the doctors might fear more than
they wrote, SENSATIONAL rumors of his
majesty';s death which continued even
so late as yesterday, and lack of definite
unofficial news all combined to create
intense nervousness. Such hopeful
statements as the Associated Press had
been able to make We're not available to
the British public who, however, We're
spared the sensational reports, now so
ralpably absurd, which were cabled to
America The reference to the wound

tatively set forth can be regarded with
out any disauietude. BY June 3oth the
doctors are expected to announce all
danger OF any complications has passed.
The king was very cheerful this
morning, after four or five hours sleep
and his temperature was normal. On
Sunday his majesty will probably be
transferred from his bed to couch.
where he will be able to recline. He is
already able to slightly raise himself by
the aid OF a pulley. When he first made
the attempt to do so the queen adjusted
the pillows so as to form a bach

king exclaimed; "oh that's better"
Prince Henry of Prussia and suite
left London this morning to join the
German flag ship at Portsmouth. The
Prince of Wales bid farewell to his
cousin at the station. A large crowd of
people gave the prince a hearty send
off Princess Henry will leave London
tonight.
AT 2:30 p. m. 1T was officially stated
at Buckingham Palace that the kings
progress was fully maintained, he was
quite comfortable and had seen several
members of the royal family during the
day.
The week which has witnessed emo
tions of such a conflicting and intense
character as to be without parallel in
the nations history is ending at is be-
gan, In rejoicing. Englishmen them
selves can scarcely realize that i'll the
brief space of five days the country has
gone thru the most ncute stages of ju-
bilation fear, doubt and hope. Now
with today's bulletin. they are all talk
ing of festivities, many of which will |
occur as planned.
Crystal Palace, July 2, will be the !
scene of brillian hospital ball in which |
SO many Americans are taking part On |
July 4 the India Office will be trans
formed, with oriental decorations, |
plants 9nd flowers, for an Asiatic re- |
ception, when the rrince of Wales is |
expected to welcome the visitors, and |
London's poor are eagerly looking for

Among the disappointed stand own
ers and other sections of the public |
there is strong desire to have a parade
with Lord Kitchener as the central fig

quite ready to go wild over Kitchener.

any public shows.
