King Expresses Gratitude.
His majesty Is already displaying the
greatest interest In all public questions and
is expressing his gratitude over the evil
dences of the worlds solicitude by opening
a number Of kilograms with his own hands,
as reported in these dispatches last night.
This action excited him slightly, caused
some restlessness during the night and
aroused some tri1ing solicitude on the part
Of the attendant doctors.
All this really was unimportant, az his
majesty soon quieted down and, on the
whole, rested, satisfactorily.
Improvement in the kings condition this
morning was most marked. Everybody in
Buckingham palace Is delighted and high
hopes are entertained that his convalescence
will be much more speedy even than was
expected last night.
AT no time has there been any serious
suggestion Of the establishment Of a
regency. The most that was done was In
the way Of pure, speculation, a suggestion
that the prido& OF Wales might act for his
father as King Edward tthen prince of
Wales) frequently did for Queen Victoria In
former days. particularly during her. last
illness, but without, his having formally
been appointed regent.
Bulletins Considered Resssuring.
The good news given out by the duke Of
Connaught at Buckingham palace, before the
doctors morning consultation and which the
subsequent bulletin completely confirmed
occasioned the I~iyeliest satisfaction to ali
persons collected at the palace, the Mansion
house and elsewhere awaiting tidings from
the sick chamber.

Of the medical bulletin, which, unlike
previous statements, has nj qualifying
phrases, has done much to restore conn
dence In the public mind In regard to the
outcome of the kings illness.
King Edward saw several member Of his
family during the morning. The queen re-
NAMED at the palace, but the Princess Vic
toria drove out this morning. In. most oil
the churches throughout the land today the
services which were to commemorate the
coronation of King Edward are taking place
in the changed form Of microscopy serv-
ices. ''
Impressive Religious Services.
At the hou when the king should have
been crowned a great and distinguished
gathering, almost Identical with that which
would have sat In Westminster abbey, gath
cred In st. Paul's cathedral. The ap-
proaches to the cathedral were lined by ST.
lent throngs, through which drove peers and
peeresses, colonial premiers, foreign en-
voys, ambassadors and members Of the
House Of Commons, all In somber clothes.
In the chancel were Joseph H. Choate, the
United States ambassador, and Mrs. Choate,
Henry White. secretary Of the embassy, AND

tary Of the embassy, and Mrs. Carter
Whitelaw Reid, the special ambassador o
the United States to the coronation, and
Mrs. Reid; Mr.. and Mrs. J. Pierpont Nor

nobility. In the nave about a thousand o
the westminsteT abbey ticket holders
mainly women, were seated. .rt
