Press applied at the palace after midnlght last

assuring sign that the II o'clock bulletin mao

Of the result of his majesty's Illness. The doc
tors had the case of the late President McIlin-
ley in mind. and in view Of the fact that the
crisis has not yet passed, they were determined
TO couch the bulletins in the most guarded lam
guage, so that the hopes of the public should
not be unduly buoyed up

anxiety concerning the King received from all
parts Of the world is the extremely sympathetic
tone of the Irish Nationalist press in express

LIST OF HONORS PLEASES ALL.
GENERAL SATISFACTION WITH THE KINGS
SELECTIONS.
London. June 25-The list of honors. which
covers every field OF public life, is necessarily
enormous one. and it gives entire satisfac-
ton. It has two features which distinguish It
from the customary lists Of this kind, and which
betray the tactful hand of the King himself
The first is its essentially non-partisan char
acter. the honors being distributed among MEM
bers Of both political parties. The second is
the creation of the Order Of Merit which is ac-
ceptable to such men George Watts and John
Morley, who declined the honors previously in
the sovereign power 10 Ofter the.n. Inc new
order conveys neither title nor precedence, and
its value will lie in the intrinsic merits of its
recipients, who, this occasion limited
twelve. Sir Henry Keppel. Admiral of the
Fleet and Sir William Higgins. the astronomer,
completing the list
Among the notable persons who have been
created knights Charles Niliers Stanford,
professor of music. Cambridge University. and
Ernest Albert Waterlow, president Of the Royal
Society of Painters in Water Colors.
Referring this morning to the Order of Merit,
the newspapers express the hope that the re
cpents of the order will always thus be
limited so that the order will become a really
coveted honor.
The order consists of single division Of or
binary members, restricted to British subjects.
but foreigners may be appointed honorary mem
hers at the discretion Of the sovereign of the
order, who is the King. The badge of the order
is a cross of red and blue enamel. with the in
scription, For Merit" with wreath Of laurel
The reverse Of the badge will show the Kings
cipher. The whole is surmounted by the i'm
perial crown in colored enamel, and the badge
will be suspended by a two-inch ribbon of
garter blue and crimson.
