KING EDWARD WILL
PROBABLY GET WE'LL.
His Physicians Believe Operation for Perityph1is Sue
cessful, and Say He Is Practically Out of Dan
ger-Regret at Postponen1ent of
the Coronation.

London, June 3o.-After week of
deepest anxiety, hope alternating
with fear, the subjects of King Ed
ward, upon whom an operation was
performed at Buckingham palace last
Tuesday, are rejoiced at the bulletin
of the physicians, issued on Saturday,
announcing that his majesty was out
of immediate danger. The king was
removed from his bed to couch Sat
urday. The official bulletin is as fol-
lows:
''The king had a good night and his i'm
proved condition is maintained. We are
happy that we are able to state that we
consider his ma jesty TO be now out of i'm
mediate danger, and the general condition
is satisfactory
THE operation wound, however still
needs constant attention, and such concern
as attaches to his majesty's condition is
connected with the wound.
Under the most favorable conditions,
his majesty's recovery must, of necessity,
be protracted
The two D. m. bulletin will be discon-
tnued.

'LAKING.'
King Edwards physicians an
nounced at 9:4O Sunday night that
the royal patients progress was en-
tirely satisfactory, and that the dis
comfort from the wound had de-
creased.
A Week OF Tense emotions.
4 week which witnessed emotions
of such conflicting and intense char
acter as to be without parallel in the
nations history ended as it began, in
rejoicing. Englishmen themselves
can scarcely realize that in the brief
space the country has gone through
the most acute stages of jubilation,
fear, doubt and hope. All was in read
mess for the coronation ceremonies
when the announcement of the kings
serious illness was at once followed
by another declaring a postponement
of the great event.
Now, with Saturdays bulletin, the
people all are talking of the festivi-
ties, many of which will occur as
planned. The Crystal palace July 2
will be the scene of the brilliant hos
pital ball, in which so many Ameri-
cans are taking part. On July the
India office will be transformed, with
oriental decorations, plants and flow
ers, for the Asiatic reception, when
the prince of Wales is expected to
welcome the visitors, and London's
poor are eagerly looking forward to
their free coronation dinner.
Wants a War Parade.
Among the disappointed stand own
ers and other sections of the public
there is a strong desire to have a war
parade with Lord Kitchener as the
central figure. Such an arrangement
would doubtless attract many thou
sands to London. The metropolis and
the country are quite willing to go
wild over Kitchener, but he is likely
to endeavor to dodge any public
shows. Failing Kitchener, the stand
proprietors have to rely on the kings
first public temperance, which is
likely to be a drive through the
streets to the national Thanksgiving
service That, however, must be
sometime hence, as a man in his
sixty-first year, in spite of his won
derfully quick recovery from the i'm
mediate results of the operation, will
probably have to submit to a rather
lengthy convalescence.
The manufacturers of medals and
souvenirs are badly hurt. One of
these said that 100000 medals, dated
