Indescribable CONSERVATION pre-
walls throughout the country, and
this CONSERVATION is reflected In the
cablegrams received from all the CEN
ters Of the universe.
King Edward Is in a room facing
the beautiful gardens Of Bucking-
ham palace and far from the street
and the crowd. II last nights prog
ress is maintained he will probably
tide over the effects Of his severe
operation, which has successfully re-
moved the local trouble. But should
any complications occur, such as sep
tic pertonitis or blood poisoning, 1t
Is feared his majesty's present phys
ical and nervous condition would
prove unequal to the strain involved.
There is consequently intense anx-
iety as TO the outcome. The kings
doctors believe that his majesty
would have been dead before now ex-
cept for the operation. His condition
became so alarming Monday night
that at one time II was feared death
might ensue before the surgeons
knife could afford him relief. In
tense swelling Of the cxtremities, ac-
companied by alarming symptoms OF
modification, constituted the emer-
gency which demanded an immediate
operation. To the last the king tried
10 avoid this and he was willing to
be carried to the abbey for the cor
onation ceremony in order that IL
should occur as arranged. The infu-
ence Of Queen Alexandria was en-
listed, however, and at an early hour
yesterday morning the royal patient
was prepared for the operation
which, even In the skillful hands Of
England's best surgeons, was fraught
with grave danger.
Shortly before two o'clock yester-
day afternoon his majesty was moved
from his couch to the operating tab.

KING OF ENGLAND IS SERIOUSLY ILL.

London, June 25.-With dramatic
suddenness King Edward has been
stricken down upon the eve of his
coronation and the ceremony has
been indefinitely postponed. He was
found to be suffering from perity-
phlitis inflammation Of the caecum).
Last night he laid in a critical state
at Buckingham palace. In spite OF
the intensity Of this tragic Interrupt
ton the lower element of London are
"mafiicking" through the fag-decked
streets and a portion of society in
coronation gowns and jewels has
gathered at what is called gala
coronation dinner at one Of the fash
ionable hotels. Even at the gates OF
Buckingham palace, within which the
ablest surgeons and physicians con-
stantly remain in the hope of saving
the sovereign's life, the footing Of
horns and the sound of other revel-
ries can be plainly heard. Wagon
loads Of boisterous rowdies are on
the streets; they are driving all sorts
Of vehicles and waving flags and hug
ging demijohns Of liquor. They have
tasted license unrestrained by law
in the celebrations in connection with
the war and, king or no king, they
will celebrate the coronation. 1t
must be admitted that the jewellers
have been misled by the technical
language Of the bulletins; they seem
to have no conception Of the gravity
Of King Edwards condition. The
thinking portion of the nation, how
ever, has gone home numbed by the
events which the day has brought

A long section is devoted to anti
fusion law enacted by the last re-
publican legislature. "The liberty
Of the people is not only menaced,
but overthrown by such sub
version of the election law" says
the resolution, and until this infa-
nous law can be wiped from our
statutes we are deprived Of our equal
rights under the laws, in plain vio-
lation of the provisions of the leg
islation."
There was considerable talk late
last night to the effect that the anti
fusion crowd will bolt the nomina-
tions and meet to-day for the pur-
pose of nominating another ticket
The opposition to the fusion idea is
so pronounced that the leaders OF
the party would not be surprised to
see such a move on the part of the
boilers. Those opposing fusion say
they never will endure the idea OF
voting with the democrats and will
maintain their party name at any
cost.

The convention was the scene of
a lively contest all day in regard to
the question of fusion with the dem
ocrats. There were large number
Of straight-out populists in the con-
vention who wanted ticket nomi-
mated without reference to the
wishes Of the democrats. While this
element was numerous enough to
put up strong fight, it could not
control the policy of the conven-
ton. Fusion was accordingly adopt
ed. The above ticket was submitted
to the democratic state convention
late last night and will become a
part of the democratic ticket. The
democrats, in their convention in
Wichita last month, nominated a
governor and the other state off,
GERS except those yesterday chosen
by the populists. By this sort of
combination the allied forces hope ia
overcome the provisions Of the anti
fusion law.

delegates appeared to be all talking
at once, so great was the confusion
The anti-fusionists were more than
determined to defeat the designs Of
the other element.
On only one matter-the selection
Of Senator Harris for temporary
chairman-was there anything like
unanimity displayed. Every other
step the convention took was con

DEMOCRATS CLEAN UP THE
POLITICAL PLATTER.
Only Ono Ticket to B. on t1s fallo'
and That Will Be the Democratic
Ticket-Angry Populists Threaten
Bolt.

Topeka, Kan, June 24.-The popu-
list state convention will meet in this
city to-day to nominate candidates
for supreme Judges, lieutenant gov
ernor, treasurer, superintendent OF
insurance, attorney general and con-
gressman-at-large. The other places
on the state ticket were filled by
the democratic state convention a
month ago. The populists are ex-
pected to ratify the selections made
by the democrats, then nominate the
remainder Of the ticket. The two
parties hope to effect fusion and yet
not disobey the provisions Of the law
against fusion.
While there is no doubt but that
the populist convention to-day will
declare for fusion, there is every
prospect Of lively fight. There is
quite sprinkling Of straight-out
populists among the delegates, led
by John W. Breidenthal, former can
didate for governor, and these will
combat to the end anything that
looks like making terms with the
democrats. The issue will be closely
fought.
Senator W. A. Harris will be tenn
porary chairman Of the convention.
He is satisfactory to both elements
Of the party. Senator Harris has
not prepared q speech. He says he
has no keynote to sound. He is
here, he says, to look the situation
over preparatory to being candi-
