 Recovery-Queen Gives Hope.
 London, June 2S.-The following bull
 letin was posted at Buckingham palace
 at Il o'clock tonight
 The king has passed a fairly com
 fortable day and has maintained his
 strength. There is a returning desire for
 food which has been very carefully giv- en. There has been some return of pain
 in the wound. Signed: | "Treves, Laking
 Barlow"
 The following bulletins were issued earlier in the day:
 Buckingham palace at 6:15 D. m:
 His majesty passed a good day, and has taken nourishment we'll He is less weak and his temperature is now nor nal.
 | "Treves Lister, | Smith, l L4aking, Barlow" 10 a. m.-"His majesty has had bet ter night and has had some refreshing sleep. He has improved in all respects. | His constitutional condition is quite | favorable, and the state of his wound also is satisfactory.
 "Treyes, Lister Smith Laking, Barlow" ID. m.--"The kings condition still re- mains satisfactory.
 "Treves, Laking Barlow London, June 26-Midnight.-Tho around King Edward continue to be as- tonished at his rapid recovery. The slightly annoying symptoms mentioned in the bulletin issued at II o'clock to- night are quite inconsequential com pared to the fact, which the Associated Press has learned that his majesty again took food tonight and was af- terwards allowed to smoke a cigar,
 Queen Alexandra sat with her hus- band all the evening and only left him after he had fallen into peaceful s.eea
 Mention by the kings doctors of the care with which food is administered to the royal patient and of the return of pain in the wound can safely be taken as merely an earnest of their con- scientious intention to make public the slightest adverse symptoms, however unimportant.
 The kings courage and good temper are remarkable and to-day he person. ally wrote several telegrams and one or two notes
 As evidence of the kings persistent refusal to efface himself from his con- nection with state affairs, and in cor roboraton of the statement that the | physicians are satisfied with their pa tents condition, the Associated Press | learns that besides personally opening | telegrams Wednesday evening, King | Edward then insisted upon a final in | spection of the honor list. There was | one appointment of considerable im- | portance which had not been definitely | decided at that time; the king approved | thls nomination and gave the final or der to the department interested, 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 by any increase of temperature. In fact, King Edwards doctors are in clined to regard the patients pain and his appetite as healthy symptoms, all though with the reserve they have throughout, the refrain from commenting thereon.
 To these hopes of favorable issue of the kings illness no less an author ty than the queen gives encourage ment. Writing to the lord mayor of ] Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale, to- lay to thank him for his expressions of the sympathy of the city of London, Queen Alexandra says through her sec retarY:
 "rhe queen rejoices to think that the bulletin of this morning gives favor- ole report of the king
 Following the expressed desire of the | Prince of Wales, the arrangements for the city, which involved he costly erection of set pieces for I electric and gas lights, will be allowed 1 o remain and will be utilized imme- liately it is authoritatively announced l hat the king is out of danger"
 By the kings personal desire the
