OPINIONS OF DOCTORS

'It is impossible, of course, to give an opinion of the outcome of the Kings ill., ness without more data. The case Of King Edward bears no resemblance what ever to President McKinley's. The one is an Inflammation, the other was gun shot wound.

 Sir Frederick Treves.
 New York, June 25.--According to Sir Frederick Treyes, who performed the op- eration on King Edward, and himself one of the greatest living surgeons and specialists on abdominal troubles, the chances of death in cases of perityphlitis where abscesses form, as in that Of King Edward, are about one in three.

New Haven, Conn.,. June 2.-Dr. Ros- well Park. director of the New York State Pathological Laboratory. professor of surgery in the medical department of the University of Buffalo and one of the physicians who attended President Mo Kinley at Buffalo, in discussing the na- ture of King Edwards illness, made the following statement.
 ''The only question in regard to the outcome Is whether the disease was taken in time. From the fact that the king was out driving few days ago after the first trace of the disease had been dis- covered, 1t would appear that the dis ease has not got much headway and that the operation was performed in time to prevent serious results.
 Because of the age of the king 1t will be three or four days before the crisis Is passed successfully. 1t win take three or four weeks convalescence. Under the most favorable circumstances 1t will not be possible for the king to take part in the tedious coronation ceremonies within six weeks or two months"
 pr. Mann Talks.
 New York, June 25.-Dr. Matthew Mann. the surgeon who performed the op- eration on President Mckinley here, says a World special from Buffalo. made the following statement
 The operation on King Edward Is one that is performed very frequently and is more frequent in this country than in England. The results are satisfactory In a very large percentage of cases.

WANT THEM ADMITTED,
Democrats SoIldly In Favor of Making
 States Out of Territories,

Washington, June 25.-By an agreement today the divergent interests In the sem ate committee on territories and subse- quently ratified by the sena,e. a terri torial stat ehood bill will be reported to and considered by the senate early in De- cember when congress reconvenes.
 In the meeting that resulted In this agreement ne fact developed that the principal reason for opposing Senator Quay's motion to reconsider the omnibus statehood bill now was the desire to pre- vent the bill going on the calendar in an unamended form.
 Some of the Republican members of the committee are inclined to favor the ad- mission of one or two of the territories, but not all three of them.
 Senator Bate said the Democratic side of the senate was solid in its support of the bill for the admission of all three of the territories. Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.

Negro Was Trying to Pawn It On
 Morris Avenue Yesterday,

Many peculiar charges are entered against prisoners brought into the city jail, but one was sent in yesterday which Is probably one of the most extraordi- nary and the first ever entered on a docket in Birmingham.
 It is the charge of larceny of bear skin. It is against Will Sims a negro. Will was trying to pawn this bear skin yesterday morning on Morris avenue to a dealer in skins. Policeman Vandiver happened along and poor Willie was sent to the jail An effort is being made to locate the owner of the bear skin.
 The skin is very fine specimen. It is large and the hair is very soft and silky. It had evidently been used as a rug. It is worth about $30.
