July - lie On
the kings condition issued by the
physicians at Buckingham palace at 10
o'clock in the morning says:
His majesty has slept we'll The
dressing of the wound gives much dis
tress, but there is no bad symptom Of
any kind"
London, June 30.-The king was re-
moved from his bed to a couch in the
afternoon, earlier then expected, and
was placed in a sitting posture. He
was feeling decidedly better.
London, June 3O.-At 1915 O'Clock in
the morning the following official bull
letin was issued from buckingham pal
ace on the condition Of King Edward:
1.-THE king had a good night and his
improved condition is maintained. We
are happy that we are able to state
that we consider his majesty to be now
out Of immediate danger and the gen.
eral condition is satisfactory"
"The operation wound, however,
still needs constant attention and such
concern as attaches to his majesty'S
condition is connected with the wound
Under the most favorable condition his
majesty's recovery must, of necessity,
be protracted. The 2 p. N. bulletin
will be discontinued"
The bulletin was signed by Drs. Lis
ter, Treves, Barlow, Smith, and LAX
ing.
News Spreads Rapidly.
. "The king is now out of immediate
danger" This announcement spread
quickly throughout the metropolis and
caused general rejoicing. The YER
dict upon which the nation had % anx-
iously waited caused a longer consulta-
ton than usual. Lord Lister, Sir Fred
erick Treves and the other doctors dis
cussed the patients condition for near
~ an hour before they committed
themselves to the important pronounce
nent. 1t was read at Buckingham
palace by only small crowd, the pub
lie being practically assured by the
previous evenings reports that every
thing was going well. Yet, to use the
words of The Westminster Gazette,
the bulletin was full of intense re-
lief" The underlying suspicion that
the doctors might fear more than they
wrote, the sensational rumors of his
majestys death which continued even
so late as yesterday, and the lack of
definite unofficial news all combined to
create intense nervousness.
Sensational Reports TO America.
Such hopeful statements as The
Associated Press had been able to
make were not available to the Brit
ish public, who, however, were spared
the sensational reports, now SO palpa-
bly, absurd, which were cabled to
America. The reference to the wound
in the morn ngs bulletin it is authori-
tatively set forth can be regarded
without any disquietude. By June 80
the doctors are expected to announce
that all danger of any complications
has passed.
The king was very cheerful after
four or five hours sleep, and his tenn
perature was normal. His majesty
will probably be transferred from his
bed in a day or two to couch, where
he will be able to recline. He is al
ready able to Slightly raise himself by
the aid of pulley. When he first
made an attempt to do so the queen
adjusted the pillows so as to form
DcCk rest, ana WITH Il sigh OF intense
relief the king exclaimed: "Ah, that is
BETTER
Departure of Prince Henry.
In view Of the kings rapid recovery
it is small wonder that the group of
members of the royal family which
gathered at Victoria station during the
morning were happy and cheerful. The
prince of Wales went there to bid
farewell to his cousin, Prince Henry of
Prussia, and to Crown Prince Louis
Philippe of Portugal and others who
were leaving London, including the
grand duke of Mecklenburg- Schwerin,
Frederick Francis, and the Egyptian
and Moorish ENJOYS.
A week which has witnessed emo
lions Of such conflicting and intense
character as to beS without parallel in
the nations history ended as it be-
gan in rejoicing. Englishmen them
selves can scarcely realize that in the
brief space of five days the country
has gone through the most acute stages
OF jubiIation, fear, doubt and hope
Now they are all talking of the festivi-
ties, many Of which will occur as
planned.
