Before the Ceremony Takes Place.
London, Eng, June "a, L. 30 n. m.
The coronation has been postponed
indefinitely, on account of the indispo-
stion Of King Edward.
The frst news of the renewed illness

Commons, where various court officials
gave an intimation that tho arrange

would 90 postponed indefinitely, on
account Of the indisposition Of His

24e-The following bulletin has been
posted at buckingham Palace 1.-THE
operation has been successfully per-
formed A large abscess has been
evacuated. The King has borne the
operation we'll, and is in satisfactory
condition. .
The sudden announcement of tho
postponement of the coronation, just
on the eve of the ceremony, caused tho
utmost transformation everywhere. The
news spread like wildfire. The tens of
thousands of occupants of tho streets
suddenly stood still under tho shock,
and gaaed at ono another in silent
dread OF what might come next.
His Majesty, under ordinary con
ditions was not looked upon as u good
subject Tor operations; and, though tho
King PISSED successfully through tho
ordeal, It is believed that four or five
weeks must elapse before he will be
able to undergo the arduous lnbors of
the coronation ceremonial. Therefore,
no date can yet be indicated for carry
ing out the coronation.

Anxiety over the condition of King
Edward VII, shared, as is evidenced
BY shoals of kilograms from abroad, by
