suspense over the condition Of King Ed

shoals OF kilograms from abroad blythe
whole civilized world, hardly viii be
much lessened by the bulletin issued by
the attending physicians at l0;SO o'clock
this morning, as follows:
His majesty was very restless and
had no sleep during the early part of
the night. He obtained some sleep,
however after O'Clock this morning,
IL free from pain, and no untoward
symptoms presented themselves. Con-

Earlier unofficial reports had been
more favorable than the official medi-
cal announcement They spoke OF the
king as having passed good night
with peaceful rest and the announce.

lack OF sleep are regarded by the gen.

ton. The absence Of all mention Of the
patients temperature causes comment,
although, probably, the statement that
up 10 the present, mo untoward symp-
toms presented themselves" Is intended
to indicate that there has been no dan
gerous rise in temperature.
In medical circles, the opinion Is eX-
pressed that in the phrase just quoted,
the surgeons are saying all they pos
siby can In fact, the whole meaning
Of the bulletin Is concentrated therein,
the rest being purely corollary thereto.
Throughout the morning the vicinity
Of the palace was invaded by seekers
after information. A curiously cosmo-
politan crowd gathered about the rail-
lngs awaiting the morning bulletin and
directly after II was posted there was
a great scrambel to read its contents.
The Prince Of Wales arrived pust as
the bulletin was being issued. Lord Lis

apartment after having assisted in
drawing up the bulletin, lert shortly af-
terward and the more cheerful express
sion apparent In his face was taken as
an indication that he was satisfied with
the condition Of the patient. Callers
continued TO arrive In great numbers
throughout the morning Among the
earliest distinguished personages were
Lord Salisbury. who rode upon a trl-
cycle. Archduke Francis OF Austria,
and the Duke Of Norfolk.
The Duke of Cambridge. who arrived
later, had previously presented set
OF colors TO the MiddIesex regiment, adj
dressing which, he said. the kings III
ness was a very grave blow and a very
trying one. But, he added, he was very
glad 10 be able to speak hopefully of
the progress made by his majesty be-
cause he had received favorable news
from those In attendance upon the
king.
Private information from Bucklng-
ham palace substantially bears out the
official bulletin issued at 1890 O'Clock
except that the king had rather worse
night than was indicated therein. HIS
majesty, however, IL resting easier and
was sleeping at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing.
The exodus OF the coronation en-
bassies already has commenced The
next two or three days doubtless win
see the departure Of all but one or two
and these viii close up their official es-
adjustments and remain IN London
merely as private persons.
