.'LAKING.''
 4:50 D. m.-The king was removed from his b ed to a couch earlier than was expected and placed in a sitting posture. He was feeling decidedly better. Among the many telegrams was one from the TfansvaaI, embody- ing a prayer that the Almighty would restore him to health. and grant him and the queen health. wealth and a long time to live.
 p. m.-The king assed a very comfortable day and his progress con- tinues to be quite satisfactory. This was signed by the three attending phy- sicians.
 'The king is now out uanger." This announcement spread quickly through out the metropolis and caused general rejoicing. Ths verdict upon which the nation had so anxiously waited caused longer consultation than usual Lord Lister, Sir Frederick Treves and the other doctors discussed the patients condition for nearly an hour before they committed themselves to the i'm portant pronouncement.

 The underlying suspicion that the doctors might fear more than they wrote, the sensational rumors of his maJesty's death, which continued even so late as yesterday, and the lack of definite unofficial news, all combined to create intense nervousness. Such hopeful statements as the Associated Press had been able to make were not available to the British public who. however, were spared the sensational reports, now so palpably absurd, which were cabled to America.
 The reference to the wound, in thi mornings bulletin, it is authoritatively set forth, can be regarded without any dlsquietude. By June 30 the doctors are expected to announce that all dan ger of any complications has passed.
 The king was very cheerful this morning. after four or five hours sleep. and his temperature was normal. On Sunday his majesty will probably be transferred from his bed to a c0uch. where he will be able to recline He is already able to slightly raise himself by the aid of pulley. When he first made an attempt to do so the queen adjusted the pillows so as to form a back rest. and with sigh of intense relief the king exclaimed: 'tAh, that is better
 The Lancet in it's comments to-day says: NO immediate septic absorp- tfon has taken place. as shown by tbe complete absence of disquieting symp- toms. We hope that rumor is ceasing to be busy with the origin and patholo- gy Of his majesty's illness. since sthe very plain statement of facts in the case which we were able to publish June 9 and since, the absolute accura- cy of the bulletins has been Justified ,.
 In view of the kings rapid recovery 1t is small wonder that the group of members of the royal family which gathered at victoria station this morn Ing were happy and cheerful.

 A week which has witnessed emo -stions of such conflicting and intense character as to be without parallel in the nations history is ending as it be- gan in rejoicing. Englishmen them se(ves can scarcely realize that in the brief space of five days the country has gone through the most acute stages of jubilation, fear, doubt and hope. Now. with to-day's bulletin. they are all talking of the festivities, many of which will occur as planned.
 The crystal palace July 2 will be the scene of the brilliant hospital ball. in which so many Americans are taking part. On July 4 the India office will be transformed with oriental decora- t1ons plants and flowers, for the As1at1c reception, which <>f the prince GR Wales Io expected to welcome the
