kings apartment, after having assisted
in drawing up the bulletin, left shortly
afterwards, and the more cheerful ex-
as an indication that he was satisfied
with the condition of the patient.
Callers continued to arrive in great
numbers throughout the morning.
Among the earliest distinguished per-
sonages were Lord Salisbury, Archduke
Francis of Austria and the Duke of Nor
folk.
The Duke of Cambridge, who arrived
later, had previously presented a set of
colors to the Middlesex regiment, adj
dressing which, he said the kings illness
was very grave blow and very trying
one. But. he added, he was very glad
to be able to speak hopefully OF the
progress made by his majesty, because
he had received favorable news from
those in attendance upon the king. vs.
Private information from Buckingham
palace substantially bears out the off,
cial bulletin issued at 1890 a. m, except
that the king had rather worse night
than was indicated therein. His mai
esty, however, is resting easier and was
sleeping at 1890 o'clock this morning.
AS the day progressed the crowds
around Buckingham palace augmented.
and the cautious wording of the early
bulletin was much discussed. Soon
after p. m. the second bulletin was
posted. This was regarded as being
somewhat more favorable. and the good
impression which it created was en-
HANGED by the arrival at the palace
shortly afterwards of the Duke and
Duchess of Aosta, who came from Dor
chester house to lunch with the royal
family. The observers deduced there
from that unless the kings condition
was fairly satisfactory the queen would
not have entertained the visitors, for she
has been unremitting in nursing her hus-
bard and has hitherto been constantly
at his bedside. Two thousand names Of
visitors were registered az the palace

At $3.50 p. N. to-day Sir Francis Knollys,
private secretary to King Edward, told a
| srepres sentative Of the Associated Press
that no particular change had occurred
fsbut that the king was maintaining the
improvement In his condition. The fol-
lowing statement was made this afternoons
on the highest medical authority:
Still the tubes now draining the cavity of
the abscess have been withdrawn it will be
| impossible to feel certain that the king will
pull through. What his physicians have now
| to fear is that perttontis or hemorrhage may
| supervene. There must always be this dam

an abscess due to perityphlitis may have a
| fatal issue without any. warning symptoms.
| All the indications are often masked until
the postmortem, and there are many cases
! on record where the disease was only dis
| covered after death from an extraneous
! cause such as an accident. At any rate the
kings grave illness must invalid, him for
some time ~ &C.
