GREAT BRITAIN is
GREATLY AGITATED
The Kings Condition Is Not Precarious,
and His Early Recovery
Not improbable.
GAME LIKE A THUNDERBoLT.

GAME LIKE A THUNDERBOLT
London, June 25-"God Save the
King" is being sung in ali parts Of
the United Kingdom. not as a patriotic
outburst, but as q hymn Of interces-
sion. Like thunderbolt from clear
sky came the news that King Edward
was In the shadow Of death, and that
preparations for the coronation must
cease at once. The first intimation Of
the real condition OF his majesty was
given when the united choirs assem-
bled for rehearsal Of the coronation
ceremonies. The abbey orchestra had
been rehearsing marches since IL
O'Clock. II was a quarter past IL
when Sir Frederick Bridge, stepping
on the conductors stand, asked for
silence, as the Bishop Of London had
serious message to deliver. Every
one thought it was some alteration in
the service. and the buzz Of voices OF
once ceased.
The bishop speaking up from the
chanoel, said; 1.-THE king. suffering
from q complaint that renders an op-
GRAFTON necessary ct 10 O'Clock today,
the coronation will, therefore, have
to be postponed. We cannot do better
than kneel down and pray"
The effect Of the announcement can
only be compared to some SIMPLIFYING
blow. The dead silence which fol-
lowed was most impressive. Sir Fred
erick. in subdued voice. directed the
choir to sing Talliss' litany as ar
ranged In the coronation books. This
was intoned by the bishop, aud was
followed by the hymn, 20 God, Our
Help in Ages Past"
At the conclusion the Bishop of
London, turning to the choir, said :
~ will ask you to kneel, while the
dean of Westminster gives the bless
ing"
Such was the simple but heartfelt
services that followed the first an
nouncement of the illness, the conse-
quences of which nations will wait in
anxious expectancy.

washington. d. O., June 25-Dr.
II. O. nnney, q famous Washington
surgeon, says: "The operation which
the king has undergone is practically
the same as for appendicitis. II is not
more or less dangerous and recovery
will be along the same lines. He will
certainly not be able to take part in
ceremonial functions for at least three
weeks. This would be under most
advantageous conditions conceivable. +"
New York, June 24.-Dr. Cyrus
Edison explained the kings illness and
the operation as follows: "Perity.
phlitis is Inflammation, including the
formation Of an absoess, of the tissues
around the veriform appendix, and
hence perityphlitis is hard to distin-
guish at once from appendicitis. U.s.
ually an operation is necessary to as
certain whether the appendix or the
surrounding tissue Is diseased. In the
kings case there is probably an alb
scess at the head of the large intes-
tines, where the appendix begins, and
the operation today was an immediate
necessity, because the abscess had to
be gotten at and emptied of its con.
tents and pus. OF course, cannot say
what further than the abscess was dis
covered by the surgeon-thst is, to
what extent the Inflammation had
affected that part Of the kings body.
Under ordinary circumstances he

perhaps be four weeks more before he
would be able to perform his part in
