London, June 2S.-"The kicg is how
out of immediate danger" this an
nouncement in the morning bulletin
spread quickly throughout the metropo-
lis and caused general rejoicing.
The verdict upon which the na.ion had
SO anXiously waited caused d longer
Sir Frederick Trcves and The other doc
tors discussed the patients condition for
nearly an hour before they committed
themselves to the important
ment. 1t was read at Buckingnam Pal
ace by only a small crowd, The public
being practically assured BY yesterday
evenings report that everything was
going we'll. Yet, to use the WordS of
the Westminster Gazette, the bulletin
was full of intense relief Ilc under
lying suspicion that the doctors might
fear more than they wrote, the sensa-
tional rumors of His Maje&ty's death,
which continued ever so late as ycster-
day, and the lack of definite unofficial
news all combined to create intense ner-
NouSncsS. Such hopeful staten ants as
the Associated Press had been able j
make were not available to tho British
public, who, however. were spared the
sensational reports, now palpab!y alb
Surd, which were Cablcd t. America.
The reference to the wound, in this
mornings bulletin, it is authoritativcly
set forth, can be regarded without any
disquietudc. BY juno 80 the doctors are
expected to announce that all danger Of

ing, after four or five hours sleep and
his temperature was normal. This after
noon His Majesty was transferred from
his bed to a couch, where he was placed

and with a sigh Of intense relief the King
exclaimed,
"Ah that is BETTER"
The Lancet in its comments today
says:
NO immediate septic absorption has
taken place, as shown by the complete
absence Of disquicting symptoms. We
hope that rumOr is ceaSing to be busy
with the origin and pathology Of His
MAJESTY s Illness, since the very pldlI
statement of facts in the case which We
were able to publish juno p, and since
the absolute accuracy of tho bulletins
has been Justified"
In view of the Kings rapid recovery
it is small wonder that the group o
members of the royal family, which gath
cred at Victoria station this morning
were happy and cheerful. The Prince o
Wales went there to bid farewell to hi!
cousin. Prince Henry of Prussia, and t
the Crown Prince Louis Philippe, OF
Portugal, and others who were Leaving
London, including the Grand Duke o
Northumberland Frederick Franci
and the Egyptian and Moorish ENJOYS
The chief of staff of the last named sai'
to q reporters:
Il am smitten to the earth with sor
row for King Edward. England is
great country, but l am glad to be goin

as to be without parallel in the nation
history is ending as it began, in re
joicinS. Englishmen themselves ca
sCTrccly realize that in the short spac
