 LONDON TODAY Edwards Return VIII Be Marked by Great Demonstration SINISTER RUMORS DENIED 
Reports That Another Operation Is Impending Are False--Rehearsal of Coronation Ceremony Eiab-
 crate and Largely Attended.

London, August 5.-All preparations King Edward to London tomorrow. The Victoria station has been brilliantly decorated. It is expected that his majes- tvs return to the capital will be marked by a great demonstration en route to Buckingham palace. The trip to London will be made on a royal special train, but there will be no invalid chair or other special arrangements, as it is felt that his majesty is fully equal to the fatigue of the journey
 story afoat for several days that a second operation for appendicitis will be performed upon the King after the coro- nation, is denied here.
 Making Excellent Recovery.
 According to all authoritative reports the King is making an excellent recov- cry and it is considered unlikely that his physicians would allow him to endure the fatigue of the coronation ceremonies If another operation was impending. The emphatic denial of the sinister rumors of King Edwards condition are confirm ed by all persons who have recently vis- tied his majesty.
 The King will land at Portsmouth and tntrain for London at 3:30 o'clock tomor- row afternoon and his train is due to arrive in London at 5:30 o'clock. His drive to Buckingham Palace will be by an ex- tended route instead of the direct way in order that the public may have an opportunity to see and congratulate the sovereign. The King has commanded that coronation day and the anniversary of his coronation be observed as collar day, a day of ceremony at the English court when the courtiers wear collars of their orders.
 Volunteers Training.
 On account of the approaching corona ton most of the volunteers are at present undergoing their annual training at Sails bury. It has been decided that they are to leave their camps August 8 instead of August g.
 The rehearsal of the coronation cere- mony in Westminster Abbey was the most largely attended and elaborate one that has yet been held. The King and the Queen and other prominent personages who were not present were represented at the proceedings by substitutes. Colonel Brocklehurst, equerry to her majesty, impersonated King Edward, and Lady Suffield, one of the ladies of the British chamber, took the part of the Queen. Even the servants were drilled in their duties connected with the robing arrange ments and the pages carried out their functions of cornet carrying and train bearing.
 Although the religious and musical fea- lures of the ceremonies was omitted this afternoon, the instructions and repeti- tions by those who are not perfect in their parts caused the rehearsal to oc- cupy about the full time planned for Sat urday's ceremonies.

observed with respectful compassion by one
of the students OF the college who had wit
messed the catastrophe, and offered his own
headgear. The president, however seemed
reluctant to accept it, saying: IF l take
yours, what will you do" "Oh, sir" said
