London. June 24.-The coronation OF
King Edward has been indefinitely
postponed, owing to an operation. The
operation was made necessary by rea-
son of perityphlitis. There is great
gloom throughout the country.
The stock market in the United
States is chilled by the news. His
Maiesty's illness has had a depressing
effect on the market for several days.
1t has been prophesied that King Ed
ward never would be crowned, and
many Of the superstitious are omlnous-
ly shaking their heads over mis- illness.
The operation was performed sue
cessfully. His Majesty did not lose
consciousness and slept peacefully af-
forwards.
Perityphlitis is the Inflammation OF
the tissues surrounding the eaecum, or
blind pouch situated between the large
and small intestines.
The announcement of His Majesty'e
illness was contained in an Official
message signed by his physicians. At
ter stating the nature of the Kings
disease the message read:
The Kings condition on Saturday
was so satisfactory that it was hoped
that with care His Majesty would be
able tc go through the coronation cere-
mony. On Monday evening a recru-
descence became manifest, rendering a
surgical operation necessary today.

Lincoln Neb., June 24.-The absence
of W. ]. Bryan from the Democratic
harmony dinner at New York Is pretty
well explained by a statement given
out by Mr. Bryan last evening. COM
menting on the dinner AT the out
set, Mr. Bryan says there is no such
thing as Democratic harmony where
former President Cleveland is con-
oerned. He says:
THE banquet given on the evening
of June 19 by the Tilden Club of New
York city was advertised as a 'har-
mony meeting, but it turned out to be
what might have been expected of such
a gathering. an ovation to the chief
guest, former Democrat, Grover Cleve-
land. There can be no such thing as
harmony between men like him and
those who believe in Democratic prin-
ciples, and he is frank enough to say
So He not only boasted of his course.
but put his brand upon those who sat
at meat with him. Having asserted
that his Democratic faith compelled
him to leave the party Cor resulted in
his banishment), he deserted the BAN
Queters as sharing in that faith. He
is not only defiant, but he insists that
party success can be secured only by
an open and avowed return to his
ideas Harmony is to be secured not
by the suppression of differences, but
by the elimination of those who differ
from him
'He (Cleveland) secured his nomi-
nation in 1892 by a secret bar
gain with the financiers; he filed his
cabinet with corporation agents and
placed railroad attorneys on the United
States bench, to look after the interests
of their former clients. He turned the
treasury over to a Wall street syndi-
cate, and the financial member Of his
cabinet went from Washington to be-
come the private secretary of the man
who forced CD the treasury department
to sell him government bonds at 1876
and then resold them at 1117. He tried
TO prevent the adoption of the
income tax provision. he refused
to sign the only tariff re-
form measure passed since the war
and while laundering against the
trusts in his messages, did even less
than Knox has done TO interfere with
their high-handed methods
