LONDON, June 30-In view of the
kings continued improvement no bulletins
were issued tonight At noon the follow
ing official statement was given out:
There is no cause for alarm in the
distress caused by dressing the wound.
This occurs at least twice daily. The
wound, which is of considerable depth, is
dressed from the bottom, as it is essential
that it should heal from within outwards.
The dressing causes his majesty consider
able pain, which he has borne with great
fortitude. In fact his majestys courage
ana patience call for the greatest admiral
tlon. The king was much benefited by the
change to the couch yesterday, on which
ne stayed for a few hours. The electric
rams have proved of great value in keep
ing down the temperature of the apart
ment The queen is in constant attend
ance in the sick room, but the utmost
quiet is enforced. The king occasionally
sees his children, but the interviews are
OF snort duration. No matters of state or
business are allowed to be submitted TO
the king, who is also debarred from read
ing his correspondence. Neither Drs.
Laking, Barlow nor Treves has left the
palace since the operation, except for All
occasional hour
Three Thousand BOnfres.
The general feeling of telief as a result
OF the favorable reports of the condition
OF the king vented itself tonight by the
touching off of the 1900 bonfires through
out the United Kingdom, which were orig
lnally prepared to celebrate coronation
night
Inc signal to light the fires was given
at five minutes past o'clock A rocket
was sent up from the top of the gigantic
wheel in Earl's court and burst in
cloud of stars 1000 feet overhead In
response to this signal bonfires rose from
every elevation of any consequence from
the Lizard to the Orkneys The celebra-
lions were unfortunately somewhat
! dampened by a downfall of rain
London was not officially illuminated.
1t had been hoped that the Mansion
house, the Bank of England and MARI
borough house would join in the celebra-
ton, all their Illuminating stands being
| intact, but none of the official decora-
lions were lit up. The display in Lon
don in this line was confined to the thea
ters, the hotels and the business houses
on the Strand, Fleet street and other
thoroughfares.
Celebrate at Spithead.
There was quite a celebration at Spit
head today, when the nearest approach to
d review OIL the great Meet Jnere was sc m
in the trip of sveraI transports loaded
with volunteers and colonial troops and
number of distinguished Lersons, who
inspected the empires first line of de-
fenseS''
The arrangements for King Edwards
dinner to the poor of London, to be held
July 8, are being rapidly completed. The
Prince and Princess of Wales have ar
ranged to visit number of the localities
where the poor are to be entertained, and
if King Edwards condition continues to
improve, Queen Alexandra will probably
make the rounds with them.
The only royal guest who left London
today was the Chinese representative ap-
pointed to attend the coronation, Prince
Chen, who left for Ostend.
