THE EKING'SILLNESS

Many Stories That Have
Been Told.
PROVES THEM ALL TO BE FALSE

HeaIthiness Had They Been
Founded on Fact.

London, July An official bulle
tin at 10 a. m. said: ''The king pass

sleep. He has regained strength and
made substantial Improvement in all
respects
The presence today of Queen Alex
andra at the review of the colonial
troops by the Prince of Wales marks
the end of the period of anxiety
caused by the kings condition. The
queens appearance was greeted with
salvoes of cheers. Upwards of $500
colonials brought in from the iyari-
Gus encampmentS marched through
the great crowds down Constitution
hill, which was lined with troops
past Buckingham palace along the
wall to the horse guards parade. The
contingent represented all parts of
the British empire with the eXcep-
tion of India, whose troops will be
separately reviewed tomorrow.
London, July 1.-Complete If pro-
tracted recovery is now predicted for
the king by those most competent to
pass Judgment on his case. However,
the fact is kept firmly in view that
dangers may still arise and the royal
surgeons feel that public rejoicings
should be tempered with Solicitude.
Three special dangers confronted the
king, which included the general dam
ger arising from his majeSty's corpu-
lence and advanced age. In the first
place there was the danger of the OPP

sia, shock and the possibility of blood
poisoning; second, that of pneumonia
conditions consequent on the kings
rigid confinement to certain bodily
postures; third, the chance that the
root of the difficulty might escape Grad
cation.
Possibility That Is Faint.
While the first danger. which was
by far the greatest, is wholly past, the
second and third remain, but are
deemed remote. The surgeons are
giving their patient gentle exercises in
the reclining position. Touching the
third danger il should be borne in
mind that the operation was not rad
ical, but an operation to relieve acute
disorder. The abdomen was not eX-

JAP ANESE
LABORERS
Planters Now Securing
Large Numbers
of Them.

There IL n movement OF japanese Ia
borers back 20 the plantations. and the
strained conditions In the labor mar
ssst which existed at this time last
year are practically removed. The
agency which the Hawaiian Planters
Association established several months
ago for the purpose OF procuring Japa-
nese for the plantations. has been doing
excellent work. and a large number OF
cos<<rs who would otherwise have re-
NAMED around the city. have been in
duced to- return TO the fields.
A casual investigation OF the num-
Der OF japanese in the Japanese hotels
OF Honolulu does not indicate that
there IS any lack OF bodied labor
ers on hand yet. but the inmates OF
these hotels change from day 10 day.
For instance, In one hotel on Monday
there were about so OF these laborers.
Yesterday the same hotel contained an
entirely different set OF men. The rea-
son for this Is that most % the original
20 have agreed TO go to various planta-
tions and many are now on the way.
Other laborers. returning from various
islands. or from plantations on this
island. have come in and taken their
places. In u few days these latter Ia
borers will probably have found en-
pioyment on other plantations. and so
the change goes on.
One OF the peculiar traits OF the Jap
snese Is that he has distinct liking
for moving from place to place. In
stead of remaining for any length OF
time on one plantation, he sacrifices
time and consequently wages by Civ
ing up one job. coming TO Honolulu and
looking around for another. The friend
ships among the Japanese are strong,
and when n japanese leaves a planta-
ton for another. his bosom friend soon
longs for his companionship and the re-
suit Is another migration until the
friends are reunited.
The agency has been very successful
I'm diverting laborers and preventing
them. In a measure. from remaining too
long away from plantations. The
agents feel that the labor situation has
now Gained down 10 a basis where the |
planters can look for available supplies |
Of iaborers from month to month.
