London, June &c, Midnight. Those
around King Edward continue to be
astonished at his rapid recovery. The
slightly annoying SYMPTOMS mentioned
in the bulletin 'ssuad at II O'Clock to-
night are quite nconse1uential COM
pared to the fact, which the Associated
Press has learned, that mis- ma jesty

AS evidence of the Kings persist
ent refusal to efface himself from his
connection with state affairs and in
confederation of the statement that
the physicians are satisfied with their
patients condition, the Associated
Press learns that besides personally
opening kilograms Wednesday evening,
King Edward then insisted upon a
full inspection of the honor list There
was one appointment of considerable
Importance which had not been def
nitely decided at that time; the King
approved this nomination and gave the
final order to the department interest
ed, thus saving one of the recipients
of honors from severe disappointment.
Tonight King Edward is better in
every way than he was last night or
this morning. The return of pain in his
wound is not accompanied t.y an APP
probable increase of temperature. In
fact, King Edwards doctors are in
olined to regard the patients pain and
his appetite as healthy symptoms al
though, with the reserve they have
maintained throughout, they refrain
from commenting thereon.
The Queen Confirms 1t.
To these hopes of a favorable issue
of the Kings Illness, no less an au-
thority than the Queen gives encour-
agement. Writing to the Lord Mayor
of London to-day to thank him for mis-
expressions If the sympathy Of the CITY
- London, Queen Alexandra says,
through her secretary:
The Queen rejoices to think that the
bulletin of this morning gives a favor
able report of the King"
Following the expressed desire of the
Prince of Wales, the arrangements for
illuminating the city, which involved
the costly erection of set pieces for
electric and gas lights, will be allowed
to remain and will be utilized immedi-
ately it is authoritatively announced
that the King is out of danger.
By the Kings personal desire the
royal pardons of offenders in the army
will go into effect just as if the coro-
nation had occurred. The last intima-
ton suitably brings to a close the day
which was to have been notable in
England's history.
Coronation Day Services.
The most striking feature of coro-
nation day, as it is still called, was
the universal substitution of services
of intercession for those of rejoicing.
These services occurred throughout
the country and on board the great
fleet that lies unreviewed in Ports
mouth harbor. Yet even these lacked
pathetic and dramatic elements. In
face of to-day's favorable bulletins
tears and litanies are obviously out
of place. The crowds that packed the
streets of the metropolis until mid
night tonight evidently appreciated
this; they did not "maffick," but
there was a general sense of rejoicing
which, even with the most unruly sec
tion failed to become inordinate.
All night long the Strand was throg-
ed with crowds of people who usually
confined themselves to taking fare
we'll look at the decorations gradually
disappearing from the front of Buck
insham Palace. Only a slim gathering
awaited the night bulletin and when
that was posted the royal residence
save for few stragglers, became de-
serted
Inside the palace the members of the
royal family spent a quiet evening ana
the number of callers was smaller than
any night this week.
What His Physicians Say.
London, June 26.-The following bull

Portable day and has maintained his

turn of pain in the wound.

London, June 27.-Buckingham Pal
ace was closed for the night rather
later than usual. 1t is understood,
however, that the Kings strength ana

necessity OF issuing another bulletin De-
lore 1880 o'clock this morning.
