THEY CRUSH THE POWERS

This is written in mid October, The long,
oppressive summer is quito gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs OF tho season. Fog,
frost, rain, ssow,-they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. Ali the thous-
ands it killed, and tho hundreds Of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
sthome, asd children in crib and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still yes,

dicted one of Mr.. Landis's statements, and

gentleman from Tennessee was very well

for the repeal of war taxes which he
(Gaines) introduced several months after
the war tax was repealed by this Congress.

AN EMERGENCY OPERATION.


Use of the Surgeons Knife Was Nee
essary to Save the Kings Life.
LONDON, June 24-King Edward lie. in
a room facing the beautiful gardens of
buckingham Palace and far from the street
and the crowd. II to-nights progress is
maintained he probably will tide over the
effects of his severe operation, which has
successfully removed the local trouble But
should any complication occur, such as sep
tic peritonitis or blood poisoning. 1t is
feared his Majesty's present physical and
nervous condition would prove unequal to
the strain involved. There is, consequent
ly, intense anxiety as to the outcome. The
would have been dead before now except
for the operation.
His condition became so alarming last
night that at one time it was feared death
might come before the surgeons knife
could afford him relief. Intense swelling of
the extremities, accompanied by alarming
symptoms OF modification constituted the
emergency which demanded an immediate
operation To the last the King tried to
avoid this, and he was willing to be carried
TO the abbey for the coronation ceremony in
order that 1t should occur as arranged. The
influence of Queen Alexandra was enlisted
however and at an early hour this morn
ing the royal patient prepared for the
operation. which, even in the skillful hands
of EngIand's best surgeon. was frauGht
with grave danger.
Shortly before o'clock this afternoon
his Majesty was moved from his couch to
the operating table and the anesthetic was
administered. Sir Frederick Treves made
the incision near the patients groin and
carried it upwards, with an outward slant
for nearly four inches. The obstruction
was removed and tubing was placed in
the affected intestine
King Edwards first words when ne re-
turned TO consciousness were TO ask for
George" and the Prince of Wales who
was waiting in the next room, was imme-
diately admitted TO his fathers presence.
While the operation was being performed
the great central courtyard of Bucking-
ham Palace, lately the scene of such
brilliant gatherings, was utterly deserted.
an6 an impressive silence reigned through
out the building. The equerries talked in
whispers. servants tiptoed about and the
tension grew almost unbearabIe. Then the
word was passed around. "All had gone

the best that has been heard in the House
on this question.
Mr.. Lands commenced his remarks by
referring to an address delivered few
days ago by Representative Kern. of Illi-
nois, in which he stated that he (Kern) had
not met a soldier who had returned from
the Philippines. and who was not looking
for a good job, who indorsed this Nations
policy in the Philippines. 81 have met such
soldier said Mr.. Lands. II met him in
the little city in which live. and attend
ed his funeral the latter part of last Octo-
ber." Mr.. Lands described the funeral Of
Oliver Cochran. the son of his neighbor
who belonged to the Fourth Cavalry and
was with Lawton. Young and schwan all
over Luzon, and who, Mr.. Lands said
was laid to rest on the hill overlooking
the valley of the Wabash, in the evening
just as the sun was leaving us, to give
light to those people for whom he gave his
life"
THE DYING SOLDIERS WISH.
"Oliver Cochran did not come home ex-
pecting a government job said Mr..
Landis HE came home to die and from
his own lips 1 have it that he indorsed
the policy of his country in the Philippines.
] just as tens OF thousands OF young men
this hour indorse that policy and are will
! ing TO die for it; for il or any other policy
that may be adopted by their government" +"
Lands stated that a few days before young
| Cochran died he turned TO him and said :
! THE soldiers who have fought in the Phil
| ippines do not want to have it said In years
| to come that we followed a retreating flag"
I'm that single sentence" said Mr.
Landis there was more eloquence, more
patriotism and more philosophy than all

repeatedly acknowledged the silent and
sympathetic greetings of the people gath

nearly all drove up in state. The small hall

the last moment the medical attendants
hoped that in any case the patient would
be able to go through the more important
of the coronation ceremonies
Stripped of medical phrases, the King was
a sufferer from appendicitis, and the opera
tion was the usual one for that disease
The King s condition up to the present is
satisfactory, but all really depends upon
the next fifteen hours. OF course his age
and mode OF life are against him. Since

vived. but they are authoritatively denied
Queen Alexandra has borne the strain of
the past week with the bravest spirit. She
was always fearful of what might happen.
Her Majesty took her part in the festivities
at Ascot and elsewhere without revealing
any sign of her inward anxiety, and when
she was told to-day that an operation was
imperative and that the coronation would
have to be postponed, she quietly answered.:
Have L not felt that this would happen?'
and asked, How does the King bear it?'
Upon receiving an assuring reply Queen
Alexandra exerted herself to appear cheer
ful and to devise means to lessen the
Kings grief and disappointment, although
she was evidently greatly distressed.
The idea was mooted in some influential
quarters to-day that with view of pre-
venting the disappointment of the public
Queen Alexandra should be crowned alone
next Thursday and the King should be
crowned in a comparatively private manner
upon his recovery. This idea dis
cussed but it was rejected as a procedure

MEDICAL EXPERTS VIEWS.
DIR. Cyrus Edison Says Perityphlitis Is
Akin to Appendicitis.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Dr. Cyrus Edison
explained the Kings illness and the oper-
alton as follows:
"Perityphlitis is Inflammation, including
the formation of an abscess, of the tissues
around the veriform appendix. and hence
perityphltis is hard TO distinguish at once
from appendicitis. Usually an operation is
necessary TO ascertain whether the appen-
dix the surrounding tissue is diseased.

that the Kings condition is extremely

At 5 D. m. a high government official said
there was undoubtedly very grave cause
for anxiety. His latest information from
the palace was that the King had success

nobody could say definitely for the next
twenty-four hours how matters would turn.

The following bulletin was issued at

RUMOR THIS MORNING.
Operation on the King Said to Have
Been Mfsdirected.

LONDON. June 25.-Rumors are afioat
this morning that although the necessity
OF surgery in his Majesty's case was OBJ
vious the actual operation was misdirected.
The symptoms Of great pain and high tenn
perature pointed to appendicitis, but when
the appendix was revealed. 1t proved to be
healthy. and the unexpected existence of
a large abscess in the cecum was dis
covered. Whether or not there is any foun-
dation for these romors. the bulletins have
seemed to indicate that the surgeons were
satisfied in the first instance with the
evacuation of the abscess. and that they
made no attempt to remove the appendix
or other structures which might contain
the germs of future danger. probably pre-
ferring to deter such operation for a radi-
cal cure to some future period.

calculated TO mislead the public mind to
the purely relative Importance of the Queen

Before the end of the afternoon over 1000
callers. who included nearly all the for
eign representatives in London, and men,
