HOWE X STETSON.
KING CREATES NEW.oRDER.
One of Merit Established in His List of
 Honors.

London, June 25.-In the list of hon. ors published to-day new order is cre- ated which meets with great favor It is the "Order of Merit.''
 The list of honors, which covers every field of public life, is necessarily an enormous one, and it gives entire sat- isfaction. It has two features which distinguish it from the customary lists of this kind and which betray the tact full hand of the king himself. The first is it's essential non-partisan character, the honors being distributed among cit izens of both political parties The sec- ond is the creation of the Order of Mer- 1t, which is acceptable to such men as George Watts and John Morley, who declined the honors previously in the. sovereign's power to offer them. The new order conveys neither title nor precedence, and it's value will lie in the intrinsic merits of it's recipients, who on this occasion are limited to twelve. Sir Henry Keppel, admiral of the fleet, and Sir William Huggins, the astronomer, complete the list.

GERMAN PHYSICIANS HOPEFUL.
Believe King Edwards Chances for Rc-
 covcry More Than Even.

Berlin, June 25.--Medical men of Ger many take a rather optimistic view Of the condition of King Edward and say that, if the bulletins present the case correctly his chances for recovery are more than even. One specialist refers to the experience of pr. Sonnenberg, of the Berlin Charity hospital, who has operated most successfully upon 1,S00 persons with maladies similar to that of the king, and prominent medical authority of Berlin said to-day that a statistical study of operations show 80 per cent. of recoveries.
 Regarding the reported removal of an abscess, a specialist, writing to-day in the F'rankfurter Zeitung, gays: If such abscesses develop for several days and then partially open into the surround Ing parts, as has apparently occurred in the case of King Edward, the chances for the patients recovery, af- ter operative removal of the abscess, are very favorable. The fact that the heart and lungs resumed their normal activity immediately after the operation warrants expectations of recovery"

TRAGEDY IN DERBY
Old Soldier Probably Fatally shoots
 Wifc-Later Commits Suicide.


 Derby, June 25.-Peter Reed, aged fif-s ty-two years, attempted to kill his wife to-day and later committed suicide at the jail by taking large quantity of carbolic acid. Mrs. Reed is in a criti- cal condition tonight and is not expect ed to live.
 The quarrel between Reed and his wife acrose over money matters. Some time ago the court ordered Reed, who was an old soldier, to divide his pension money with his wife, and it is said to have been the trouble over this matter which led to to-day's assault.
 G. H. Ennis, Mrs Reeds attorney, was talking to the woman at her home, when Reed entered. MT. Ennis says Reed ordered him to get out and, pull- ing a revolver, attempted to shoot him, but the cartridge failed to explode. The attorney says Reed then turned his weapon upon his wife, inficting wounds in the abdomen and one in the leg. She was removed to the hospital. Reed was overpowered and his weapon taken away from him, after which he was re- moved to the police station.

EXPERT BRITISH VIEWS.
Belief That There is Good Reason to
 Hope for Ktng's Recovery.

London. June 25.-The British Medi-
 cal Journal says: Should the king S symptoms pursue the course they have hitherto followed there Is good reason to hope for his majesty's restoration to health Owing to the nature of the af- lection and the character of the dress ings used it is inevitable that his con- valescence should be somewhat pro- longed, but we believe, if no complica- tions arise, that there is no reason to fear that his recovery will not be com plete.
 "The condition of the parts made clear at the operation was such as to assure the physicians that his condi- tion was due to one of the inflamed conditions which occurred with remark able regularity in the region of the yer inform appendix, and that it was not due to any organic disease of a more serious nature, or to any malignant growth, as rumor has suggested. Up to the present there is no indication of the occurrence of any complication, and should none arise his majesty may live for many years"
 The Lancet, while declaring that it is to disguise the seriousness of the kings condition, says: Tt is our joyful privilege to be able to contradict fatly some of the sinister rumors which have been prevalent for the last forty eight hours throughout the world. The idea that some dreadful news is being kept back ought to be dispelled, and the absolute sincerity of every bulletin is- sued should prevent the public from

needing these wild rumors, His maj esty is suffering from perityphlitis and nothing else. Unfortunately, the symp- toms of perityphlitis may be entirely masked, and this it was that absolutely prevented the necessity of an opera ton from being apparent until yester- day"
 The Lancet declares also that at pres ent there is no symptom of indignantly in the kings case.
 The Journal then goes on to review the history of the case. After reciting the kings earlier symptoms the paper says:
 Every preCaution was taken on Mon days journey from Windsor Castle to avoid fatigue and strain, but Monday evening there was an eXacerbation of the symptoms, his majesty's fever re- turned to 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and the swelling on the right siliac fossa rapidly increased. It was then intimated to the king that purulent inflammation had occurred He received this state ment with his usual courage and equa- nimity an dexpressed the keenest dis tress that the people of the country should be disappointed"

TERRIBLE STORM IN INDIANA.
Nearly s2,oOO, ,OOO Damage-Hundreds of
 Buildings RnZed.

Indianapolis, June 25.-The most dis astrous storm in years passed over this section to-day. Hundreds of buildings were razed, thousands of trees were up- rooted and now blockade highways, railroads and traction lines; crops ut terly ruined, causing a loss estimated at nearly $2,0000OO, and fifty persons were more or less injured. But two deaths have been reported with author ity.
 The course of the storm was south east and northwest. Its path was clear across the state. In the ruins left be- hind are many factories, churches, schoolhouses and frame residences. The most severe damage was in and near Hancock county. All wire communica- ton between the cities and towns ip the devastated district is cut off. Tele- graph and telephone poles are down for many miles, and it will require several days to establish any wire service.
 Trains are running irregularly The crews of each incoming train bring from the north and east stories of seri- ous damage to property.

PHILIPPINE BILL DEBATE.
Measure Thrown Opon to Amendment
 km House.

Washington, June 25-The Philippine civil government bill was thrown open to amendment in the House to-day. Very slow progress was made, only fifteen of the fifty pages of the bill be- ing completed. By an amendment off, fered by MT. Martlett of Georgia, cases involving the construction of the constitution can be appealed from the supreme court of the islands to the supreme court of the United States, and by another offered by MT. Littltefleld Of Maine one corporation in the islands is prohibited from holding stock in an- other These were the only amend ments of importance adopted. The earlier portion of the day was devoted to consideration of conference reports on the sundry civil army and naval ap- propriation bills. The House adopted a proposition agreeable to the Senate with reference to the disputed items in the army bill and b va vote of 63 to 95 refused to agree to the Senate amend ments to the naval bill providing for five submarine torpedo boats.
