heh stricken down perhaps unto death,
almost on the steps of the throne, and
amid preparations for the mightiest
fete ever devised by man. The blow
fell without warning. For a moment
the nation stood' (breathless, appalled.
It tried to disbelieve the woeful tidiags.
It was incredible that fate, after the
settimg of the stage for the triumphal
national drama, could in the twinkling
of an eye turn it into a tragedy. The
shock was as suddn as the shot from
th TM-cfrvi in -ho n TvyrTT ii'o
assassin,
Conceakneait of the truth as to the
king's condition during the past week
it ia learned 'twas the result of the king's
personal desire. He -wished to avoid
j public uaieaskMsss as long as a possibil
ity reanained Os? carrying lout the corb-
ation program. It was only when the
doctors were: obliged to tell him that
only an operation could save his life
that the king uecombed to despair,
and a pitiful story comes from one ot
ms iranis. He Deggea he might D
taJten to sanamng-nam to die.
The kbi! has -beeift suffering, severely
for tea aysr-Sut;wjus not until last
night ttiat, his physiians became con-
vinced that inflamation, of the right ab
dominal region had resulted to suppera
tion and the formation of an, abscess.
TThis diagnosis was confirmed today by
other doctors and it was then decided
that a speedy operation was necessary
to prevent blood-poisoning and 'inevita
ble death.
It is recognized by all medical men
acquainted with the king's condition
that he is an unfavorable subject for
such a crisis as the' present one. v
It is not stated by the doctors iwheth-
er they removed tne vermuorm appwu 'encountered. The operation was com

fighting this point.

London, June 24 Midnight The king

Laking left the king's bed-room shortly

very serious. About midnight the king
took a little nourishment and a hypo

administered, the heart's action being

KING'S ELDEST SON
GALLED TO DEDSIDE
London, June 25. The (Morning Lead
er says all the nearest senion members
of the royal family saw the king short
ly before the operation was performed.
His ' majesty bore the anaesthetic re
markably well. 'When the incision was
maae considerable adipose tissue was
, ural &ieeD. The chief daneer now is
whether the adipose tissue will resist
the tendency ' of nature to repair the
wound.
Immediately after recovering from
the operation, the king asked for the
prince of Wales. It was announced that
a bulletin would be issued at 6:30 p. m.
and a final one at 11 p. m. The fixing
of these times was regarded as a good
sign. Lord Salisbury, the permier, and
other members of the cabinet called at
the palace during the day. The cabi
net has been summoned to meet at 6
o'clock this evening.
Queen Alexandra is terribly upset
and nervous. The royal grand children
were driven to the palace shortly af
ter 1 o'clock. The Prince and Princess
of "Wales remained at Buckingham
palace -throughout the afternoon re
ceiving the visiting members of the
royal families who drove ujr to the
inner court yard.
At about 4:30 p. m. the prince and
princess of Wales left the palace in an
open carriage looking decidedly more
cheerful than when they entered it.

MOST RECENT PICTURE
The best opinion seems to be that no
less than three months' postuonement
of the coronation is inevitable, and
even In the event of the king's recov
ery, the crowning of his majesty will
certainly be shorn of all its arranged-
for glories.
Many of the foreign representatives
gSfTCalled at Buckingham palace this after-
iwpi Jtomake inquiries about the king's
condition ,
The Prince of "Wales has been at the
palace .all day long, and the duke ot
Connaught has been there most of the
time today.
Lord Salisbury in the house of lords
said:
"All we can do at present is to hope
and pray for the best and console our
selves with the knowledge that the
surgeons entertain a most satisfactory
view in regard to the' progress of the
distinguished patient. More definite
language than this is impossible. An
operation of singular severity has been
performed, and leaves behind it every
hope of a prosperous issue. Some weeks
will in the best event elapse before his
majesty is restored to his usual health.
For three or more days at least and
maybe longer there must be uncertain
ty. No action can be taken by the
house while matters are in a state of
transition, but I think we have every
ground to hope that the issue will be
a favorable one and that we shall be
able to return to our ordinary avoca
tions at an early period."
Whitelaw Reid was seen by a repre
sentative of the press after his visit to
Buckinham palace. He said:
"It is exceedingly distressing news.
It is impossible to say more or attempt
to forecast events. "We can only wait
and hope for the best."
Diplomatists called throughout the
day at the foreign office to express
their condolence.
Since morning the old stories that
the king is suffering from cancer of
the throat have been revived, but they
are authoritatively denied. As the day
wore on the rumors increased in grav
ity until a report was circulated on the
stock exchange that the king was ac
tually dead.
The postponement of the coronation'
festivities applies to the naval review
as well as to all other functions, qfficial
and semi-official. Notice to this effect
will be sent to the special ambassadors
by the foreign office tonight. The am
bassadors will probably all depart
within a day or two. The members of
the American special embassy, " while
officially, the guests of the king, have
established a house of their own and

do not place much burden of respon

Another probability already discussed
in official circles is a "service of inters

the worst should occur within twenty-

Sudden Announcement of
Postponement of Coronation
Caused Consternation.
How News of the King's Crit.
ical Condition was Convey-,
ed and Received.
London, June 24. The first news of
the renewed illness of the king came ,
from the house of commons where vari
ous court officials gave an intimation
that the arrangements for Thursday
would 'be better suspended forthwith as.
"the coronation would be postponed in- ,
ditely on account of the indisposi
tion of hie majesty.
The sudden announcement of the
postponement of the coronation caused 1
the utmost consternation everywhere.
The new spread dike wild fire. Tens ot
thousands of occupants of the streets
suddenly stood still under the shock
? and gazed at one another im silent
. dread of what might come next.
L Hemorrhoids, appoplexy and lumbagv
( were a few of the 'king's maladies dis
cussed in the clubs and drawing rooms,
and those discussing them recalled the
stories of how the king even recently
reiterated his belief that he would nev
er be crowned. On the stock exchange
the effect of the startling news was Im
mediate. Prices weakened, led by con
sols by. a fall of 1-2 point.
His majesty under ordinary condi
tions is not looked upon as a good sub
ject for operations, and A though the
king passed successfully through the or
deal, it is believed four weeks must
elapse before he will be able to under- -go
the arduous labors of the coronation:
ceremonial. 'J'
Therefore no date can yet be indi
cated for carrying out the coronation.
Official announcements of the king's
serious iHness were made to public
bodies as speedily as possible. Word
was sent to the house of commons, and1
acting for Lord Chamberlain, Lord
