The prince had British taste for sport

was announced that the King was III with
perityphlitis. A surgical operation was
had with successful results. and three
days afterward he was out Of danger.
The Kings visits subsequently to'Por-

with important political results. namely. a
close understanding among these powers
and England. and particularly the Anglo
French agreement whereby all important
disputes between France and England
were amicably disposed Of. with the re-
suit that England got a free hand in
Egypt and France in Morocco. while the
century-old dispute about French fish
ing rights in Newfoundland was virtually
ended. The good understanding between
the United States and England was also
largely promoted by the King. who was

GRAVITY OF CONDITION
REFLECTED BY LLOYDS

London, May 6-The gravity OF the
Kings condition was reflected at LloydS
Exchange in a sudden rise Of the pre-
miums demanded TO insure his majesty's
life. From 6 per cent premium for six
months the price rose with a jump after
the issue OF the II o'clock bulletin until
later in the afternoon business was ex-
ecuted in few cases at 50 per cent pre-
MUM for one month.
The insurance was not merely specula-
tive. Said a broker. There are a large
number Of people whose incomes are de
pendent upon the King, and these were
responsible for the largest proportion Of
business
The Kings health occupied the prin-
cipal attention of the exchange and
bulletins were awaited with the greatest
anxiety. Lloyds had closed before the
evening bulletin was received stating that
the Kings condition was critical.

KING CAUGHT COLD WHILE
INSPECTING NORFOLK HOME

London, May 6.-There is no doubt that
the King caught the chill which devel-
oped so fatally during his weekend visit
at Sandringham, for the purpose Of in
specting the changes and alterations
which had been made in the house and
grounds OF his Norfolk home.
The weather was cold and damp, and
his majesty completely exhausted HIM
self in his inspection OF various points
OF interest, on which he was aCcOmpan-
led by Sir Dighton Probyn. keeper of the
privy purse and extra equerry to the
King
on Monday evening he returned to town
and dined privately in Grosvenor Cres-

signs Of developing when he returned 70

outside the palace or declaration made,
the waiting crowd was for some time in
ignorance that the end had come. The
Prince and Princess of Wales and nearly
all the other members OF the royal family
left the palace within half an hour of the
Kings death. and the people interpreted
this as a hopeful sign.
1t was not until the reporters had
passed the word around that the watchers
knew that all was over. Notwithstanding
the grave bulletins that had been issued,
the news fell heavily upon the anxious
crowd. which had hoped against hope.
They received the tidings with every
