RECOVERY

Said that he Felt De-

London, June 2S-At 1925 this
morning the following additional bull
letin, signed by all the surgeons at
tending the king, was issued from
Buckingham palace;
THE king had a good night, and
his improved condition is maintained,
We are happy to be able to state that
his majesty is beyond immediate
danger. His condition is generally
satisfactory his wound, however, re.
quires careful attention. But under
the most favorable circumstances his
majesty's complete recovery will be
unavoidably prolonged, -
At 4 80 this afternoon the king was
removed from his bed to couch in
the same room. At that time he
stated that he felt decidedly better.
The announcement that the king is
now out of immediate danger, coming
as it does from the surgeons, causes

THE REWARD
IS WITHDRAWN
And Search for Thomas is at
an End.
Indications all Point to the Missing
Man Having Deliberately Left
While in Possession of
His Mental Faculties.

The committee appointed by the
odd Fellows TO make thorough in
vestigation of the circumstances sur
rounding the mysterious disappearance
of @. W. Thomas, have evidently
made some discoveries that throw
some light upon the matter, for after
conference this morning they de-
cided to withdraw the reward offered
for the return of the missing man.
1t was at first supposed that Thomas,
while in fit of temporary insanity,
had either committed suicide or had
wandered away into the mountains,
At first search was carried on along
these lines, but circumstances arose
which aroused the suspicious of those
having the matter in charge, and in
vestigations were made along another
line. The result is that those who
are acquainted with the facts believe
that Thomas deliberately quit the
town, and that Mrs Thomas is not
wholly in the dark regarding the
matter.
The first intimation that everything
was not on the square that the officers
had, was from learning that when
Mr.. Thomas left his home he was at
tired in new suit of clothes, a new
pair of shoes, and new shirt, and
that he left the house some time be-
fore daylight and not after as was at
first asserted.
1t is also stated that the domestic
relations between Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
were not those of absolute felicity.
They had occasional wordy conflicts,
and on Sunday night last they had
quite a heated quarrel, as witnesses
will make affidavit 1t is further
known that upon one occasion Mr..
Thomas told his wife that if he ever
left her, it would he useless for her
10 look for him
After Mr.. Thomas disappeared Mrs.
Thomas never notified the officers
nor did she ask anyone to search for
him. She never notified his relatives
in the east, nor did she at any time
volunteer any information of her
own volition. The Odd Fellows
offered their services in searching for
her husband and to assist her in in
vestigating the condition of the bust
ness. She offered no assistance in the
former, and the latter she declined.
The only natural conclusion is that
Mr.. Thomas deliberately left his family
and his business, and if he left his
creditors in good shape as there is now
every appearance of his having done
there is no reason for further interest
in the matter.
The odd Fellows are to be com
mended for their zeal in prosecuting
their search both for the missing man
and for information in the matter.
The latter they were successful in OBJ
tanning.

President Roosevelt had cut the ground
\ from under their feet and left them
nothing to stand on. Thoroughly dis
gusted. and yet little chastened in
spirit in realizing that they had en-
lcountered force stronger than their
own stubborn pride, they decided to ac-
cept the situation with as good grace as
possible.
What are the chances of success in
the presidents effort to make peace .
This is the all important question. 1t
must be confessed that the spirit of the
railway presidents is not promising.
But with thirty-six hours in which to
cool off and to reach a further realiza-
tion of the position which they will oc-
cupy before the country If they persist
in their stubborn refusal to do any
thing. some result may be achieved.
1t is not known that the president has
any definite plan to suggest on Friday.
He will appeal to the disputants to con-
slider the subject in conciliatory spir-
1t. Then If neither side offers work
able plan of settlement it is understood
the president will propose that the
strike be called off and that both sides
agree to leave the new scale of wages
to his decision, he to be assisted by a
competent commission of business men.
There is reason to believe President
Mitchell will accept this. tho any en-
gagement entered into by him must re-
ceive the Endorsement of a delegate
convention of miners before 1t can be-
come binding upon the union.
Refereeship Of the strike would be
serious responsibility for the president
to undertake. but his associates think
he will not shrink from it if the con-
testants agree to that plan of settle
ment.

ell leaves at 5 this afternoon for Wash

the opinion that the conference at the
