CORONATION OF EDWARD TO oc.
CUR AUG. 9.
MONARCH is STRONGER
Now Able to Walk Little and Restric-
ton on Diet Very SIight-WiII Come
to London From Isle of Wight ana
Review Fleet on Return-Apprehen
sion AIlayed.

London, July 3O.-The latest and
most reliable information indicated
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken in fixing August as the late
upon which his majesty could be
crowned. ne sinister rumors of the
last few days now appear to have lost
that semblance of probability which
made even the members Of the cabinet
nervous lest another postpOnement
might be necesSitated.
The apprehension that the king
would not be upon the stand at The
coronation ceremony was greatly less
ened by the announcement that his
majesty is now permitted to use lis
feet and, with the aid of a stick, mas
Gene a little walking. Nearly all re-
striction ON the kings diet has been
withdrawn. Those who drew inference
from the fact that the invitations to
Westminster abbey are not dated have
had their fears dissipated by procla-
nation published in the Gazette last
night fixing August 9 as the date of the
coronation.
According to the present arrange
ments the king and queen will leave
Cowes on August 6, or August 8, for
Buckingham palace, and will return on
August when the entire fleet will be
reviewed by the king.

yam, where a cock pit was burned, two
soldiers Of the command had been pre-
viously stabbed in the cock pit. 1t was
generally understood that the cock pit
was burned for soldiers revenge. 1t
was brought out in the testimony that
Captain Wild had been requested by
the civil authorities to place a guard
over the property after the first attack
and failed to do so, and a second at
tempt at burning resulted in it's de-
struction. General Chaffee in carry
ing out the sentence of the court said:
''The necessity for this trial is based
on the intention to accentuate to The
accused that the existing order to give
complete and unqualified support to all
branches of the civil government IN
these instances must be complied with,
and to show by example that nothing
short of such support will be accepted
from the officers on duty in this deci-
sion. Capt. Wild's conduct is but mild
~ punished by reprimand 1t is de-
structive to the very foundations of dis
cipline and, when considered in con
nection with the duty which devolves
upon him is in the highest degree Iep-
rehensible."

Office department has advertised for

as to the right of a government officer
