IoNpoN, May 6.-King Edwards
doctors issued a bulletin today as fol-
lows: "The King passed a compara'
lively quiet night and his symptoms
are unimproved. His condition gives
rise to grave anxiety.
It is feared that King Edward is
worse than he was last night. The
general feeling is that King Edwards
chances of recovery are very slight.
1t is proposed tnat the entire nation
unite in snpplication for the Kings re-
coyery.
The statement is made on the high
est unoficial authority that the Kings
illness has developed into double
pneumonia. The Kings condition be-
came alarming shortly after midnight.
There has been no change since then.
The stock market showed further
weakness when this became known.
One physician is stationed con
stantly at the Kings bedside, and four
others are within easycall. The Arch
Bishop OF Canterbury, Lord sufield
and Colonel seely, who We're admitted
to the Kings apartment for a few
minutes. refused to comment on his
condition. Their countenances were
saldened and depressed.
There was constant stream of call

Every effort is being made to allow
the King to rest quietly. The ap-

plTloNs IN THE NORTHWEST
FOR A GREAT COAL YEAR.

Yesterdays Baltimore Star states
that Mr.. J. H. Wheelwright, vice presi-
dent Of the Consolidation Coal Com
pany, has returned from a trip West
in the interest of the company. While
away Mr.. Wheelwright paid especial
attention to arrangements for the lake
coal tonnage of his company. He de-
clares that he found the big coal
docks of the Northwestern Fuel Com.
pany, at the head of Lake Superior,
cleaner than they had been for five
years and that as a result a larger
tonnage can be provided for this fall
and winter than for many years past.
Mi. Wheelwright says that business
conltons out through the West are
rather peculiar; thatis, the people are
notaso optimistic; while on. the other
hand but few pesstmistlc views are ex'
pressed over the situation as 1t pre-:
sents itself at this time. Mr.. Wheel.
wright, however, expresses the belief
that business conditions will continue
good.
In speaking of conditions where the
Lake coal trade is concerned Mr..
Wheclwrlght was particularly optimis-
tic in his comment.
while away" said he to-day, 81
found that the great docks of the
Northwestern Fuel Company were
practically free of coal and Of course,
this means that a greater tonnage can
be handled until the late fall, or un-
til the lakes are closed to traffic. Last
winter the demand for fuel through
the great Northwestern was greater
than for years, and as result the
docks whehe the coal is stored are
cleaner than they have been for at
least five years.
%As to business conditions" he con.
tinued, "there seems to be somewhat
Of a lull out West, although there are
not many complaints about dull times.
People we're not unduly optimistic,
vet on the other hand there was not
any fear that business would show any
falling of. The outlook for business
in my opinion, seems good.

GUARD AGAINST LATE FROSTS
Strips Of CheesecIoth VIII Afford
Ample Protection to Late Bloom
Ing Strawberry Vines.

If your strawberry patch is plant
ed in rows, as is the case in most
small gardens, here Is worthy sug-
gestion for protecting the blossoming
vines from late frosts:
Take strips of cheesecloth about a
foot wide and the length of the rows;
if the vines spread to width, In the
row, of more than foot, increase the
width of the strips Hem across the
ends, and at each corner secure pegs
about a foot in length, pointed at one
end. On evenings when frost seems
imminent. cover the rows with these
strips; drive or push the pegs into the
ground at the end of the rows, until
the cheesecloth Is about four or five
inches above the plants; then unroll
the strips, stretching them to the OPP
posite ends of the rows and fasten
them down with the other pegs. In
this way the plants are sheltered, the
covering does not come in contact
with them, one does not have to both
err with newspapers that have to be
weighted down, and the strips are
readily rolled up and put out of the
way wheR not needed.
