ATTACK CAME SUDDENLY
AND WITHOUT WARNING.

King Edwards first serious attack
of bronchial trouble was experienced
a year ago. Since that time he has
suffered several occurrences of the
malady, including one during his re-
cent visit at Biarritz. Each attack
proved worse than the preceding n
and more difficult to conquer. The
present illness came suddenly and
without warning.
There were unmistakable signs that
all the members of the palace entour-
age were greatly alarmed for several
days. One government officer who in
his official capacity attended the au-
diences of the king, said:
1.-THE king looked very i'll Wednes-
day morning and very much worse
Thursday. The chief outward symp-
tom was extreme hoarseness. He was
scarcely able to speak at times, but
insisted on continuing the audiences"
Upon n occasion during the au
diences, when the kings condition
was the subject Of remark, King Ed
ward said:
This is a return of what | had at
Biarritz. | got clear of it then, but
caught another cold at the theater.
However, | will be all right in a few
days"

The intelligence that the end Of
King Edwards reign had come was
not a surprise at the last. The peo-
pie had been expecting to hear it any
hour since the evenings bulletin was
posted at Buckingham palace and
flashed throughout the kingdom. The
capital received it without excitement,
but sadly, for the king with his own

EXPLOSION KILLS
10 BASEBALL FANS
FIFTY INJURED SCATTERED WITH
DisFieURED DEAD, MAKE BAT
TLEFIELD OF GROUNDS.
MANY HOUSES WRECKED
Parliament Buildings at ottawa, Four
Miles Away, Are Damaged-spec-
tators Left Park to See Fire
Which Caused Explosion.

4 Ottawa, Ontario.-An explosion,
which wrecked the plant Of the Gen
eral Explosives company of Canada,
neal Hull, Quebec, killed Is persons
and injured so others.
The force of the explosion was ter
rifc. The country for miles around
was laid waste and many small build
ings in the city Of Hull, on the side
nearest the scene of the explosion,
were fiattened to the ground.
A baseball game was in progress a
short distance from the powder
works. The teams were playing the
last inning, and when a fire vas seen
in the small buildings of the powder
plant, the crowd began to swarm up
the hill to get a better view of the
blaze.
Warning of the danger came to the
onlookers in two miner explosions
soon after the fire got well under
way.
A shower of sparks and fragments
of the wrecked building fell among
the spectators and there was a scur
rying out of what was considered the
danger zone.
Crowd Uurged to Move Back.
Three of the baseball fans, aware
Of the possibility of danger when the
main magazine was reached, pleaded
with the crowd to go still further
back, and many of them needed the
warning. The others, apparently en-
joying the element of danger in the
spectacle, stood within 1000 yards
of the burning buildings. They were
kept on the qui vive by the detona-
tons which sent showers of burning
brands in all directions. The base
ball game broke up and the remain
der of the spectators and the players
rushed up to join the baseball crowd
at the fire.
1t was then the main magazine ex-
ploded.
There were two stunning detona-
tons. Everything within a radius of
a mile and a half was torn and shat
terer.
Giant trees were snapped off close
to the earth; barns and dwelling
houses were converted into kindling
wood, and even in Ottawa, four. miles
from the scene, hundreds of plate
glass windows were broken.
The scene where the crowd from
the ball ground stood resembled a
battlefield. Headless, armless and
legless bodies were lying about
among scores of unconscious forms.
40 the few who retained a flicker OF
consciousness, It appeared as though
more than 100 had been killed.
The silence which followed the
final death-dealing blast was more
terrifying than the cries and means
which came with a return to con-.
seriousness of the badly injured.
The terrific shock brought thou
sands of terror-stricken persons to
the scene. Some thought it was an
earthquake, while others cried out
that the comet lad struck the earth.
Hundreds of chin ays were toppled
over and there is ecarcely a whole
light of glass left in the northeastern
section of the city.
The first call for aid from hospital
and police anne from the section Of
the city nearest the magazines. There
1t was found that 40 small residences
had been shattered and many in.
jured persons were imprisoned in the
wreckage.

outing Failed to Restore Health.
The kings illness really dates back
several weeks. He was not looking
too well when he left England at the
end of February for his annual spring
visit to southwestern France, but il
was confidently believed that his stay
at Biarritz would, as in former years
restore him to his customary health.
But the trip failed to have the usual
good effect. In former years the king
has returned well bronzed and thor.
oughly Draced up for the trying duties
of the London season, his step has
been %springy and strong and his spir-
it buoyant. But this year a different
story had to be told.
The trouble began on the train dur
ing the journey from Paris to Biarritz.
The atmosphere in the train was so
hot and close that when the windows
were opened he unfortunately st in
a draft and caught a cold which con-
fined him to the hotel for the best
part of a week. Then the weather at
Biarritz was cold and wet, more like
that of midwinter than of spring, and
it tended to retard the kings recov-
cry.
Returns to Buckingham Palace.
The cold developed into bronchitis
and though in about a week he had
sufficiently recovered to resume his
walks on the beach at Biarritz and
his automobile drives in the surround
ing country, he still was far from well
when he returned to London on
Wednesday of last week.
The the last weekend he went to
S~andringham to inspect alterations to
the estate and returned to Bucking-
ham palace Monday evening,
The first unofficial news given out
Friday indicated an improvement,
those with the king having been de-
ceived by the fact that he had rested
quietly through the night. The news
was received with cheers by anxious
crowds gathered throughout the city.
This bulletin stated the kings condi.
ton remained much the same. The
subsequent examination developed
that the patients bronchial tubes, in
stead of being in better condition,
were more seriously affected after the
nights sleep than they were the day
before
