SHOWS IMPROVEMENTS.
King Edwards Condition on the Third
Day Is Favorable.

London, June 26. midnight.-Those
around King Edward continue to be
astonished at his rapid recovery. The
slightly annoying symptoms men
toned in the bulletins issued at IL
o'clock tonight are quite inconsequen-
tial compared to the fact, which the
Associated Press has learned. that his
majesty again took food tonight and
was afterward allowed 10 smoke II
cigar.
The following bulletin was posted at
Buckingham palace at IL o'clock:
The King has passed fairly com
Portable day and has maintained his
strength. There is q returning desire
for food, which has been very carefully
given. There has been some return of
pain in the wound" This was signed
by Treves, Laking and Barlow.
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 tax
en- as merely an earnest of their con-
scientious intention to make public the
slightest adverse symptom, however
unimportant.
The Kings courage and good tenn
per are remarkable, and to-day he per-
sonally wrote several kilograms and
one or two notes.

Midlothian Dele ated.

What at first promised to be a
very interesting game of ball was
played yesterday afternoon at the
new ball grounds near the compress
by the Midlothian and Waxahachie
teams. In the first half of the game
some excellent playing was done
and not a single score was made un-
I'll the first half of the fourth inning
when Midlothian got in two runs.
In the first half of the fifth inning
Midlothian made two more runs
and in the second half of the sixth
Il aXah.chie got In three runs. Up
- this time it began to look like the
visitors had the home team shut
out. In the ninth inning Midlo-
THAN added another score To her list
and when Waxahaehie went to bat
four runs We're made, making the
standing OF the score to 8 i'm favor
of the home team. The Midlothian
team is composed OF good players
and the home team had no picnic in
defeating them.

THE ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION
Central and Gould Interests Try
ing to Stop ii by Traffic
Contracts.

A special from New York with
reference to the Texas railroad situ-
alton and the three parallel lines be-
tween Dallas and the gulf says;
The Rock Island railroad is offered
all kinds of inducements to keep it
from extending its line south from
Fort Worth TO Galveston. A most
liberal traffic contract is offered by
the Houston and Texas Central and
the Goulds are even more anxious
to prevent the building of the line,
and have also submitted terms to
the Rock Island management either
on basis of trackage rights or a
traffic agreement over their new line
now building between Fort Worth
and Spring, which they guarantee
will be open for business by Sep
tember l, next.
In regard to the new Gould line
from Houston east there is no in
tention of going beyond Beaumont
at present, and certainly not beyond
Orange, although the charter pro-
vides for the line to New Orleans.
1t was reported yesterday morn
ing that the Rock Island manage
ment would likely accept a traffic
arrangement with the Houston and
Texas Central, including Galveston
connection and terminals controlled
under the same ownership, in which
event the Rock Island would deyel-
op it's own exclusive territory in the
direction of the Panhandle, believ-
ing that with proper efforts and good
railroad facilities at country
would develop very rapidly.

Provided That the constitutional
convention provided for aerein, shall

that congress may at any time, or
from time to time, attach all or any
part of the Indian territory to the

tribes now claiming the same and the
same assigned in seyeralty and sub
joct to taxation"
Our correspondent asks, Does this
