KING WALKS A LITTLE.
Improvement In Edwards Condition
Indicates That Coronation Will
Not Be Postponed.

London, July 3O.-The latest and
most reliable information indicates
that King Edwards doctors were not
mistaken in fixing August 9 as the
date upon which his majesty could be
crowned. The sinister rumors which
have pervaded all classes for the last
few days now appear to have lost that
semblance of proba bility which made
even the members of the cabinet nerv-
Gus lest another postponement of the
cornoation might be necessitated.
The apprehension that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain of
the coronation ceremony has been
greatly lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted to
use his feet, and, with the aid of "a
stick, has done little walking. An
other late telegram from Cowes, Isle
of Wight, saying that nearly all the re-
strictions upon the kings diet have
been withdrawn, has been welcomed
as evidence that the recent ON
| nous deductions were drawn with
out due allowance for the doc
| tors extreme cautiousness. While
| the king was testing his ability
to walk two stalwart jackies stood at
his side. After this experiment, which
BODIED we'll for his fulfilling the neces-
sary coronation functions at Westmin-
ster abbey, King Edward sat smoking
on the deck of the royal yacht and
watched the races of the small yachts
off Cowes.
Those who drew differences from the
fact that the invitations to Westmin-
ster abbey were not dated, have had
their fears dissipated by the proclama-
tion published in the Gazette Tues
day night fixing August 9 as the date
for the coronation, which postdates,
and is altogether more important than
anything which might or might not
have appeared upon the cards of in
vitation.
According to present arrangements
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
will leave Cowes either August 6 OF
August 8. for Buckingham palace, anc
will return to the royal yacht August
IS, when the entire fleet will pass be
