Bulletins Received at Diplomatic Resi-
dences and Read With Pro-
found Sorrow.

Intense interest is evidenced through
out official circles as to the condition
OF King Edward VII and every bulletin
from the bedside of the stricken mon
arch is scanned with the closest inter-
est.
At the British embassy frequent ad-
vices were received during the night. in
every way confirming the press reports
which usually preceded them. The Of
iicials at the embassy remained at their
desks until nearly II o'clock. when they
retired to their respective homes, after
leaving instructions to have any import
ant news sent to them at once. Far
into the early hours Of the morning.
the clerks and others about the stately
old mansion were busily engaged in re-
ceiying messages.
At the Department Of State the situa-

were received during the evening and
they were not OF an important character.

out diplomatic circles. as the feeling
seems to be growing that Edward will
never be crowned. The later bulletins

posted placard on the wall of the Man

extra force of police was at once hur-
ried to the spot. An immense crowd
gathered, not tenth of which was able
to read the announcement. The con-
tents. however, passed from mouth to
mouth.
The scene was in remarkable con-
trast to q similar scene on the same
spot ON the same time OF day two years

posted. The news today was received in
dead silence. only broken by shouts to
the police superintendent standing near
the placard-"Read it. Read it,
