Improvement ( King Edward's Condition Is Most Marked. London, Juno 20. King Edward's progress to convalescence occasions tho greatest satisfaction in all official cir cles. His majesty is already displaying tho greatest Interest in all public ques tions, and is expressing his gratitudo over tho evidenco of tho world's solid tudo by opening a number of telegrams with his own.Jhands. This action ox cited him slightly, causing somo rest IcBsnoes, during tho night, and aroused some trifling solicitude on tho part of tho attondant doctors. All this really was unimportant, as his majesty soon quieted down, and, on tho whole, rested satisfactorily. Improvomont ii tho king's condition this morning was most marked. Everybody in Buukinghiim palnca is delighted nnd high hopes aro enter tained that his convalescence will bo much more speedy oven than was ex poctod last night. At no time has thero been any serious suggestion of the establishment of 11 rcgoucy.
