After learning the contents of the bulletin the crowd at the palace quickly dispersed, and the rejoicing which was already apparent in the crowded streets increased in keeping with the terms of the latest re- port.

 The Prince and Princess of Wales dined at Buckingham palace tonight in company with several foreign royal per- sonages The diners returned early to their homes.
 The unanimity among prominent phy- sicians, when questioned in relation to | Lo oF 6 p1 ic ita markable All the professional opin- ions gathered are distinctly favorable and hopeful. The doctors questioned regard the danger of peritonitis to have now almost passed and believe his maj esty's recovery to be entirely probable. Liverpool was illuminated tonight in recognition of the good news.
 The Daily Mail this morning says that all King Edwards functions are working admirably. The drainage pipe has not yet been removed. says the paper, but the kings general progress is very sure and steady.
 The prospect of the kings rapid re- covery has led to a revival of projects | for ivities. It is likely that as soon as majesty is pronounced to be out of danger London will indulge in a gen. eral illumination. Very few of the il- Illumination devices in the city have been disturbed, their owners awaiting the decision of the Prince of Wales in the matter. The prince has not yet order ed the removal of the devices from Marlborough house.
 It Is not impossible that the abandon | ment of the naval review set for June ! 2S will be reconsidered in the interests [ of the colonial and Indian visitors, who are greatly disappointed at missing this | sight Other entertainments for the | nations colonial and Indian guests are also being arranged. Thus, if there Is no setback in his majesty's progress, there will be a partial revival of the interrupted festivities.
 The people are taking the greatest pride in the kings fortitude. It has been learned that his majesty facili- tated the preparations for the opera tion, and that when the surgeons were ready he stretched himself upon the operating table, declining assistance.
 Lord Warwick, in proposing vote Of for the king before the War wick town council to-day, said ttat he was authoritatively informed that his majesty's first words after recovering after the operation were twill my people ever forgive me?'
 King Edwards calmness. cheerful ness and pluck are considered most fa- vorable auguries for a speedy recovery and the messages from Queen AleXan- dra and Sir Francis Knollys, the kings private secretary, in reply to express sons of solicitude and the statements of persons most familiar with the situ- aton, all bear out the confident hope fulness which prevails to-day. London, June 2S.-King Edwards inn had been maintained to 1 D clock this morning. (
