London, June 2SS.-Ine last bulletin
regarding the condition of the King.
which was posted in the post offices
OF London and its suburbs and the
provinces. evoked the most extreme
confidence that all is we'll, just as the

taking place in the autumn, and there
Is a wide assumption that nothing is
to be expected hencsforth but an
uouncemelts of an uninterrupted re-
turn OF strength Medical opinion
does not share in such easy optimism
Trained opinion is that the first step
in the treatment of the Kings malady
has been successful in its first stage
and that the evacuation of the abscess
has not been followed by the immed-
late deadly sequel that was at one time
feared The act of the presence of
pain in the wound Is so far encour-
aging. because If gangrene had set in
there would have been no pain, but ii
must always be kept in mind that both
tubes still remain in the body and
many hours must pass before an at
tempt Is made to remove the stitches.
His Maiesty's present diet can not be
continued indefinitely. although the in
testines must be vastly repaired before
stronger food can be administered.
Lastly, it remains a fact that the sur
geons have not yet tackled the vermi-
form appendix itself
The King passed the evening com
fortably. The Queen was at his bed
side for some time, as was also the
Prince of Wales, but His Majesty was
not allowed to see the Princess of
Wales or any one except his own chill
dren. Occasionally he is permitted to
look al newspaper. He has also been
permitted to read an exciting novel.
His Majesty throughout has exhib-
tied remarkable fortitude, to which his
physicians attribute his present favor
able condition.

maintained at l o'clock this morning

sharp Debate in the senate.

Washington, June 2S.-Quite unex-
pectedly, sharp debate arose in the
Senate today on the question of Cuban
reciprocity. Mr.. Teller, of Colorado, at
whose instance the Senate Committee
on Cuban Relations made it's inyestiga-
ton of the subject, delivered a spirited
speech in OPPOSITION to reciprocity with
Cuba. He charged that the entire reci-
prOcity propaganda had been backed
by the American Sugar Refining Com
pany and By Americans who were in
tereSted financially in Cuban sugar
plantations. Mr.. Plat of Connecticut,
chairman Of the Cuban relations COM
mittCe. replied to the Colorado Sena-
tor. He maintained that the making
of some concessions to Cuba was a
plain duty which this Government
owed to itself as well as to Cuba, be-
cause absolutely friendly relations
with the new republic were a necessary
means of defense to this country. I'M
less the United States should annex
the island. That, he hoped, would not
he done, as he regarded annexation as
grave menace to our institutions.

PANAMA CANAL BILL PASSED..

| II Now Goes to the Prc-idrnt for His
| Signatur"-A Piac" for Jones.
Washington June 27.--The confer
cnce report on the isthmian canal was
agreed to in both houses today and the
act now goes to the President for APP
| proval. II is seldom that the defeated
| side in n controversy feel so happy as
the advocates OF the Nicaragua canal
route.
The bill provides that three of the
members may be civilians. with four
civil engineers of acknowledged abili-
ty. one of whom shall be an army
officer. Friends of Senator James X.
Jones, of Arkansas. have been urging
his name for appointment on the com
mission, on the theory that the Presi-
dent Will name at least one Democrat
as member OF the body. The term
of Senator Jones will expire next
March and his friends take it for
granted that he should be cared for
in some public manner. Senator
Jones is not in particularly good favor
now with those Democrats who are
seeking to secure control of the party
organization. He is welded to Bryan
ism and has refused to listen to any
talk of reorganization OF the party.
II is estimated that it will require
about Il years time to complete the
construction of the canal. To a man
OF Senator Jones age, IS, this would
be practically a life position at sal
airy, while not yet fixed that will pos
sib!y be equal to or greater than that
of a United States Senator.

suit of the earlier announcements
from the physicians at buckingham

The IL o'clock bulletin in question
was posted on the palace cares and
in all of the post Offices. The Sentence
which put damper on the cx,berance
of the crowds was added at the very
last portion of the announcement,
and read: There has been some re-
turn of pain in the wound"
These words would usually have SER
fous significance in a situation like
that of the King. and the doctors
would have hardly employed them I'M
less they desired the natural conclus-
ion to be drawn from them. Fresh
pain implies fresh Inflammation. Re
newed inflammation Is usually accom-
panied or followed by a renewed Sc
erection OF pus.
This peril is one of extreme gravity.
1t might be decided to reopen the
wound as last resort. This has been
done in many cases, and it is some
times successful where the patient is
strong and in the full vigor of life. In
the Kings case II would be a desperate
