London, June 26-King Edwards
condition last night was even more
satisfactory than was indicated by the
HOO p. IN. bulletin. He had made a
decided improvement, and the feeling
at buckingham palace was very hope
full. His majesty was able to take
nourishment, he had scrambled eggs
and a little hook and soda last even
ing. and with his own hands he opened
several kilograms. The bulletin issued
at II p. IN. was regarded as intense
~ satisfactory. This bulletin was gen.
orally taken as being the first occasion
upon which the kings doctors have
allowed themselves to express, even
to a small degree, the hopeful feelings
they acknowledgement though priv
ately-entertain. Thirty-six hours
have now elapsed since the operation
was performed and the absence Of
complications creates hopefulness in
all quarters.
Unseemly Mirtb Was Absent.
The scenes witnessed on the streets
last night were III marked and pleas
ant contrast with those of Tuesday
evening The reckless rejoicing which
was then so disgracefully prominent
was quite unheard last night. Traffic
pursued its way unimpeded. and even
the most popular thOrOughfares were
comparatively deserted. No illumina-
lions dispelled the natural s;lOOm which
settled over the metropolis. Quiet and
depressed. the crowds waited outside
Buckingham palace for the night 5
final news of the sovereign. For sew
eral hours they kept their patient vigil
wandering aimlessly. but with palpa-
bic anxiety. over the open space which
fronts the royal residence.

For some reason or other a feeling
pervaded the crowds that if the king
lived until last night he would live tc
be crowned. Inside the palace all was
quiet. Queen Alexandra, who had beer
in the vicinity of the sick room the
entire day. dined with few members
of the royal family. Lord Grey, a di
rector of the British South Africs
company. who recently visited the
United States, is among those having
entree to the court. He said to q rep
reSentative of the Associated Press
last night that he had good hope fol
the kings recovery and that he was
sure that every Englishman was deep
1y touched with the sympathy of TIT
United States in the present calamity
Expected To Be Hearty in August.
