Especial to The New Tribune by French Gable,
London. July with the Kings coronation
dinners to the poor, the festivities interrupted
before there had barely been a beginning will
end. The colonial premers and ministers are
to be entertained by the Savage Club. Lady
LaingattOck has reception for the Princess
Frederica, of Hanover. the Duchess of Teck
conducts a quiet charity function and there
are pother of minor entertainments to-day
Next week there will be a fresh series Of ban
quets and luncheons for the colonial visitors
who are rapidly exhausting themselves in the
aboundins resources of English hospitality and
there Will be notable even a brilliant series OF
charitable functions opening with the imperial
coronation bazaar, to which an international
character has been impaired by the German
Emperor's gift Of $500 worth of beautiful
china and other evidences OF foreign interest
The season, from which so much pleasurabIa
excitement was expected. has suddenly lapsed,
and while there is universal regret over ths
lamentable cause there is general relief among
the soberminded Londoners over the prospect
OF quieter times and normal conditions. with the
pressure Of the swollen traffic reduced in tho
streets and a cessation Of the hurIyburIy and
incessant movement Of crowds from early morn
ing to midnight. The King will make a popular
choice il he decides when fully restored to-
health against attempting to carry out anything
but the chief function in the autumn.
There is probably maximum feeling Of RELIEF
I'm Scotland Yard over the close OF the festivf-
ties. The necessity for protecting the distin-
guished company Of visitors TO the Crown
against anarchist plots and madmen's freaks
has been urgent. and the management of the
crowds in the congested thoroughfares OF the
metropolis has been a most responsible and
laborious function.
The police authorities, by the extraordinary
precautions taken for barricading the streets
have offered complete demonstration of the
impracticabity of organizing the great fetes
of London without prolonged disturbance OF
traffic and business The moral drawn by the
staid Londoners Is that the metropolis has
grown too big for town shows. and that since
the populace. whether il prefers to do so or
not. is forced to take it's pleasures sadly IL is
no longer wise to order imperial pageants Of
unexampIed magnitude
The welcome news comes this morning that the
King has been pronounced by his medical ad-
visers entirely out Of danger. His surgeons
have received full credit from the German and
French medical press for mastery management
Of the from the outset There was some
complaint last week from a few German and
Austrian princes because the royal ENJOYS had
been allowed TO come to England when the seri-
BUSINESS of the Kings condition was not only
suspected but even diagnosed. These carping
criticisms were speedily silenced as the evil
dence of the extreme anxiety of his medical at
tendants after the operation was disclosed.
The Kings recovery. which is assured.
implies great increase of his popularity among
all classes. whose hearts have been touched
by his struggle for life. What the coronation
ritual described as his differentiation has
been accomplished in the sick room without the
blare of trumpets or the manifestations of titled
homage.
The lips of the colonial premiers are sealed
while the imperial conference is in secret ses-
sion. and they content themselves with amiabls
platitudes when forced into after-dinner oratory.
Sir wilfrid Laurier, warned by the publication
of interview in New-York. which he repudi-
ates from beginning to end. tells me that he
can't discuss any question connected with the
work of the conference There is little faith
among either the colonial preniers the Brit

soil for business interests.
Parliament will have chance to emerge from
obscuritt now that the coronation excitement
is over. There is widespread interest among
religious bodies in the debate the Education
bill. Mr.. Balfour has wisely made several con-
cessions TO the Nonconformists. and probably
will continue to smooth the way for the passage
of the measure by timely compromises with the
final effect that nobody will be satisfied
