Entirely Probable, DOCTORS' FAVORABLE REPORTS Danger of Peritonitis Is Regarded ns Almost Passed Liverpool Celebrates the Goo Newn. LONDON, June 27. The following bulletin was issued tonight at Bucking ham Palace at 11 o'clock. His Majesty's condition Is In all re spects satisfactory. The King has had a seod day, and has made substantial Improvement. TREVES. "LAKING. "BARLOW." LONDON". June 28. Kins -Edward's improvement was maintained at 1 o'clock this morning. ' I LONDON, June 27. "It's the best yet," was the popular comment with -which the bulletin posted at Buckingham Palace at U o'clock tonight -was greeted. A small crowd waited before the palace until the bulletin -wis brought out, and when the good news became known, there were cries of "Hear, hear," and cheers. Lord Churchill, the acting Chamberlain, drove up to the palace just as the bulletin was Issued, and expressed his keen pleasure at the doctors' report of the King's con dition. After learning the contents of the bulletin, the crowd at the pilace quickly diSDersod. and the rejoicing, which was apparent In the crowded streets, increased in keeping with the terms of the latest report. The Prince and Princess of "Wales dined at Buckingham Palace tonight, in com pany with visiting royalties. All the din ers returned early to their homes. The unanimity among prominent physi cians In expressing their opinions as to the case of the King Is quite remark able. All the professional opinions gath ered are distinctly favorable and hopefuL The doctors regard the danger of peri tonitis as now almost passed and believe His Majesty's recover' to be entirely probable. Liverpool was illuminated tonight In recognition of the good news. Relaxation of the tension and anxiety concerning the King Is everywhere no ticeable. The Cunard Line steamer Cam pania, which left New York June 21. and which arrived at Queenstown today, re ports that the news of King Edward's ill ness, which was transmitted to her by the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy from the Cunard liner Saxonla, Thurs day evening, had such a gloomy effect on the passengers that the concert, which was In progress when the news was re ceived, was abandoned. The satisfactory news received at Queenstown this even ing, however, caused the greatest satisfac tion. The people arc taking the greatest pride In the King's fortitude. It has been learned that His Majesty facilitated the preparations for the operation and when the surgeons were ready, he stretched himself upon the operating table, declin ing assistance. Lord Warwick, in proposing a vote of sympathy for the King "before the War wick Town Council today, said that he was authoritatively Informed that His Majesty's first words after the operation were: "Will my people ever forgive me?" King Edward's calmness, cheerfulness and pluck are considered most favorable auguries for a speedy recovery, and the messages from Queen Alexandra and Sir Francis Knollys, the King's private secre tary, in reply to expressions of solicitude and the statements of persons most fa miliar with the situation, all bear out the confident hopefulness which prevails to day. The Day's Bulletins. LONDON, June 27. A bulletin, issued from Buckingham Palace at 10:15 o'clock this morning1 says: "His Majesty had a fair night and has had some natural sleep. His appetite is Improving and his wound is much more comfortable. On the whole, the King's condition is attended with less anxiety. "LISTER, TREVES, SMITH, LAKING, BARLOW." It is said after the issue of this morn ing's bulletin Lord Marcus Beresford asked Lord Lister how the King was pro gressing, and that Lord Lister replied: "His Majesty is practically out of dan ger." . The following bulletin was posted at Buckingham Palace at 2 P. M.: "His Majesty passed -a comfortable morning. AH his symptoms today are so far satisfactory. His temperature is nor mal. No other than important fluctua tions in His Majesty's temperature will be recorded In the bulletins Issued. "TREVES, LAKING, BARLOW." The following bulletin was posted at the palace at 6:15 P. M.: "The King has maintained the satis factory condition described In the last bulletin. His Majesty shows no disquiet Ins svmDtoms. "LISTER, TREVES, SMITH, LAKING, 'j BARLOW." LONDON WAS DESERTED. On tbe Day When the Greatest Crash Was Expected. LONDON, June 27. What was to have gone down to history as procession day, when it was expected there would be the greatest crush ever witnessed In the streets of London, finds the city practical ly deserted. The bank holiday proclaimed for today paralyzed business. The mass es, apparently surfeited with their event less wanderings In the streets yesterday, either cleared out to the cDuntry, tempted by the perfect -weather, or else stayed at .home. Certainly the main thorough fares could not have been more deserted on any Sunday In the year. The big hotels, .however, were each an oasis of activity amid the otherwise gen eral stagnation. Many Americans are preparing to start for the Continent, and others have already gone there or to the country, while numbers took advantage of the fine day to visit the great fleet as Eembled off Splthead. Sir Thomas Up ton is entertaining a distinguished party on board his steam yacht Erin. The fashionable cafes and restaurants were the scenes of numerous smart lunch eons, while extensive but quiet prepara tions were made for week's-end house par ties at the surrounding country places, whose owners seem to think that the sit uation warrants at least some subdued gaiety in honor of the many prominent visitors. A party of 1100 orphans from the vari ous institutions were entertained by the Prince and Princess of Wales today at a dinner given in the grounds of Marlbor ough House. The Prince and Princess again visited their little guests. Throughout the afternoon only small crowds gathered about Buckingham Pal ace. The 2 o'clock bulletin created the greatest satisfaction. Subsequently a member of the Govern ment said to a representative of the As sociated Press: "Really, everything Is going on won derfully well and we all now think the King will recover, though, of course, we are afraid of being premature or unusu ally optimistic The King is proving him self a gallant chap. "A good deal of 111 feeing and misdi rected criticism seems to have been caused by tho omission of the tempera ture from the bulletins. I understood the doctors avoided mention of it for the pur pose of preventing what they believed would be an avalanche of faulty deduc tions from the press and alleged experts. It is only natural that the King's tem perature slightly rises at night, and It Is expected to do so for some time. Wednes day evening, when perhaps the King might have been expected to have been at his most critical period, his tempera ture was normal, yet the doctors pur posely refrained from mentioning it." The latest bulletins created the most favorable impression in Parliamentary cir cles. Many of the medical experts now believe that all danger of any septic pro cess has passed and that so far as can be seen the crisis may be regarded as at an end. The operating table, bandages and other appliances connected with surgi cal operations were removed from the palace this afternoon. At the adjournment of the House of Commons at 5:30 P. M. today, A. J. Bal four, the Government leader, announced that the progress of the King was quite satisfactory. From an authoritative source, the As sociated Press learns that the King reads and converses continually with the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales. All that the doctors Insist is that he shall not discuss matters requiring careful weighing. The Government officials -expect pos sibly within a week to fix the approxi mate date of the coronation, which will probably occur early in the Autumn. An authoritative statement contained in dispatches to the Associated Press that the check In King Edward's progress toward recovery, which was recorded In the last official bulletin of yesterday even ing, was merely temporary In Its char acter, receives gratifying confirmation in this morning's announcement by the at tending physicians. The announcement of a more comfort able state of the King's wound and his having secured natural sleep Is followed by an Indication of Increasing assurance in the minds of those responsible for the official report. As the time approaches for the posting of the morning bulletin tho crowd about the Palace of the King increased appreciably. When the better tenor of the news contained by the slip of paper attached to the baize-covered board became known, something like a cheer broke forth from the assembled people. Prince Henry of Prussia and other for eign representatives were among the earlier Inquiries at Buckingham Palace. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught called early. Lord Lister and his colleagues were In consultation for a quarter of an hour prior to issuing the bulletin posted at 10:15. Electric fans are being utilized to keep the IClng's apartment at a suitable tem perature, the heat in London at present being oppressive. The American special Ambassador, Whltelaw Reld, and Mrs. Reld called by appointment on the Prince and Princess of Wales this afternoon, to take official leave of their Royal Highnesses. Mr. Reld will now close up the special em bassy and go to Portsmouth to visit Rear Admiral Crownlnshleld. Commander-in-Chief of the European station, on the United States flagship Illinois. Rear Admlral John C. Watson, who was to have represented the United States Navy at the coronation, went to Paris yester day, and General J. H. Wilson, the rep resentative of the United States Army In the special embassy. Is to follow him. Colonel John Blddle, General Wilson's aid will return to America. The presence of the Princess of Wales, and the inclusion df Mrs. Reld In the audience today, was simply a continua tion of that specially friendly attitude which the British royal family and gov ernment have throughout shown towards the American mission. King Edward has expressed himself as greatly pleased with the receipt of President Roosevelt's mes sage of greeting, and the members of the government have missed no opportunity throughout the mission's visit of indicat ing its appreciation of the friendly feel ing shown by them. Prince Henry of Prussia leaves London tomorrow for Germany. When Prince Henry was leaving Buckingham Palace, after his visit this afternoon, the marked warmth of the cheering of the people evi dently pleased him greatly. Coming- Colonial Conference. NEW YORK. June 27. The Colonial Premiers and Ministers, while sorely dis appointed over the postponement of the coronation, are consoling themselves, ca bles the London correspondent of the Tribune, and receiving cues from Colonial Secretary Chamberlain respecting the Im perial conference next week. There Is reason to believe that the conference will gain advantageous importance from Abe collapse of the general festivities, since public attention will be centered upon It, Premiers Laurier, Barton and Seddon will be chief figures, but there are 6trong men behind them. There Is a hopeful feeling among the Canadian Ministers and the Premiers that with the help of Mr. Cham berlain something may be done In the di rection of preferential trade. Astute men like Premier Ross, from To ronto, and Ministers Fielding, Mullock and Patterson do not wish to commit themselves prematurely to any statement of policy, but they are convinced that the self-governing colonies have In Mr. Cham berlain a resourceful leader who com mands support. How Morgan Heard the News. NEW YORK, June 27. A story Is going the rounds of how Plerpont Morgan first heard of the postponement of the corona tion and its cause, cables the London cor respondent of the Herald. The capitalist was traveling at the time on the under ground railway, seated In one corner of a flrst-clas3 carriage, while a stranger 6it opposite. Nobody else was in the com partment. Not disclosing the fact that he had Identified the American, the other handed him a sheet of paper upon which the single word "perityphlitis" was writ ten, quietly Intimating at the time that the King had contracted the disease and that the coronation preparations had been suspended. Mr. Morgan said not a word until two stations had been passed, then merely handing the paper back he laconi cally muttered. "You don't Bay so." Reld Announces Ills Departure. WASHINGTON. June 27. Assistant Sec retary of State Hill received the follow ing cablegram today from "Whltelaw Reld, head of the special embassy of the United States to the coronation: "LONDON, June 27. Took leave of Lord Lansdowne today, and, after taking for mal leave of Prince of Wales; shall close embassy, unless otherwise Instructed, and quit London to pay promised visit to Ad miral Crownlnshleld. Lord Lansdowne expresses -warm appreciation of Presi dent's speech at Harvard, and general American sympathy shown in this time of trouble. The feeling about the King today is distinctly hopeful." The State Department will send Mr. Reld no Instructions In this matter, so he -will proceed as Indicated. They Celebrated the Coronation. SAN FRANCISCO, June 27. The passen gers of the steamer China, which arrived today from the Orient, being unaware of the serious illness of King Edward, cele brated his coronation on board the steam er last Thursday evening, 21 guns were fired from the eteamers signal gun, and appropriate ceremonies took place In the saloon. A score or more of the passengers wero British subjects. Italian Deputies Cheered. ROME, June 27. At the close of the morning sitting of tho Chamber of Dep uties today, the President of the House. Slgnor Blanchlrl, read the latest bulletin on King Edward's condition. Its word lncs were greeted with prolonged cheers. HE TOOK ALL IN SIGHT DEWEY'S CHARACTERIZATION AGTJINALDO. OF Went to Manila for Loot, Not to Sc- cure Independence for His People. WASHINGTON. June 27. Admiral Dewey continued his testimony before the Senate commltee on the Philippines today. Replying to questions put by Senator Pat terson, he said that ho had begun nego tiations with the Governor-General of the Philippines, General Jaudens, for the sur render of the city, and the negotiations were conducted through the Belgian Con sul, who, after the death of the British Consul, had been vers' courteous In act ing as a go-between. It was a diplomatic negotiation, no letters being written. The Admiral said he had Informed Gen eral Merrltt of the proffer of General Jaudens, but he did not believe that Mer rltt had taken "much stock1' in it. "I assured him that such was the case," said the Admiral, "but told him of the arrangement that before the surrender should take place I was to engage an out lying fort and make the signal, according to the International code, Do you sur render?' after which the Spaniards were to hoist the white flag on the southern bastion. I may say that I was the first to discover the flag, notwithstanding I had stationed 50 men to look out for it. It was a thick day. and I chanced to be the fir3t to discover It." He also said he had read the testimony of General MacArtJhur saying that he knew of no agreement of the kind mentioned, but that It had not. been his (Dewey's) business to communicate with any one ex cept the commanding official. Asked by Patterson to explain his state ment that General Merrltt had not ac cepted the report that' the Spaniards had agreed to capitulate. Admiral Dewey said that was only his belief. "I don't believe," he said, "that the General entirely trusted the Spaniards. Still, he did not say so in so many words. I may add that I have since learned that some of the Spanish officers were tempted to Are at us. Even my own flag lieutenant did not accept their proffer as in the best of faith. I knew, however, that they would surrender. for I understood the straits they were In." Replying to a question as to whether the agreement to surrender had been made public at the time of the attack upon Manila. Admiral Dewey said he thought not. "There are," he said, "lots of things which are not communicated to the pub Patterson sought to secure from Admiral Dewey an admission that Agulnaldo had issued a proclamation of Independence to the Filipinos about tho time of the sinking of the Spanish squadron, but the Admiral said" he did not remember it, although It was possible that he might have done so. Patterson then read the paper forwarded K y Consul-General Pratt, May 20, 1B9S, which the Filipino leader said that Providence had opened the way for inde pendence to the Filipinos, and spoke of the Americans ao their liberators. The Ad miral said, however, that he did not re member to have seen the paper. He had, he said, given Agulnaldo a printing press and probably he used this press for get ting out his proclamation. In reply to a question, the Admiral said that Consul Williams, who bad been sta tioned at Manila, was an honest man, although, perhaps, quite enthusiastic. The Admiral did not, however, remember to have promised to Agulnaldo his "cordial co-operation," as the Consul had reported. For the purpose of making Inquiry con cerning some of the representations- of Consul-General Wildman, located at Hong Kong, Patterson asked concerning that gentleman's character. The Admiral ap parently hesitated to reply, but then said: "He's dead I'd rather not say. He was the United States Consul-GeneraL" He added that he would prefer not to reply to further questions, but when Patterson persisted, he added: "He was a very able man an able Consul." Patterson then read Mr. Wlldman's let ter of July 18. 1S9S. saying that Agulnaldo had conducted himself In a dignified man ner, etc. and the Admiral assented to the truth pf this statement. Speaking of Agulnaldo's loyalty the Admiral said ho had become suspicious of -that leader be fore the receipt of his proclamation on July 15. He said: "I began to suspect that he was not loyal to us when he demurred to moving out of Cavlte when our troops arrived." "You mean that they were thinking more of their own Independence than of us?" "Yes." Arnlral Dewey also testified concerning the arms sent to Manila by Agulnaldo, and Senator Dietrich asked the Admiral If "he did not believe that the arms were pur chased with money previously paid by Spain to secure peace, and that It was his Intention to use the money to foment another Insurrection for the purpose of gain." The Admiral's reply was, "Exactly bo." Patterson next called attention to a number of proclamations forwarded by him to Washington in May, but Admiral Dewey said he did not remember having read them, and in explanation of his fail ure In this respect, he said: "The days and nights were not long enough for me to get through with my work at that time. Evidently I did not consider the proclamations as of Impor tance, and if I did read them I made no cctnment on them." The Teadlng of these dispatches was fol lowed by a number of questions. "Knowing Agulnaldo's expectations and purpose to secure Independence," said Pat terson, In beginning a question, but be fore he had concluded he was Interrupted by the witness, who said: "No, I did not know that." "Then you believed such to be his pur pose?" "I did not believe It, and since you have asked my opinion I will say that I believe he was there for gain for loot for money, and I further believe that inde pendence never entered his head." Replying to another question by Senator Patterson, the Admiral sold that while Agulnaldo was located at Cavlte and was under his observation, he was always hu mane, but that he did not see much of him after the army came. Senator Carmack then put a number of questions to the witness. Replying to these, the Admiral said It was true he had assisted Agulnaldo in organizing his army by supplying him with arms, etc; that at that time there were no Amer ican soldiers in the Philippines, and that Agulnaldo had complete control of his own forces and that he was under no re straint. Having laid the foundation by securing these statements, which were In reitera tion of what the Admiral had said In his testimony yesterday, Mr. Carmack asked the witness why he had done so much to aid a man whom he regarded as a "com mon robber and plunderer.'.' The Admiral did not reply Immediately. His face reddened and he laughed. He then said the Senator had not v quoted him accurately but admitted that ho had said Agulnaldo had gone to Manila for pillage and plunder. He added: "You know the old saying that 'all is fair In war.' " "Do you consider it fair in war to as sist a known plunderer and robber In an enemy's territory to pillage without restraint?" "I believe it is, as I read history." "Then you admit that you assisted this robber and plunderer to organise, etc?" "I did not then call him a robber and plunderer. I called him 'the Insurgent leader.' I have said here that he was there for money and loot. I think those were my words, and I think that is what he was there for. Do you," he asked, turning Interlocutor himself, "do you think he, was there for anything else?" "I do." replied the Senator. j "Wen, I don't," said the Aimiral, ana A NEW DISCOVERY MADE BY X MAN IN ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA George C. Eldridgc Finds Something "Which 3Iany Consider to Be Better Than Gold His Statement. There- is much talk In the town of Allegheny, Pa., over the discovery made by Mr. George O. Eldrldge, of that place. After a long search he has found something better than gold. In a re cent Interview he says: " "Yes, I have mad? what I consider to be an Important discovery To tell you about I must start at the beginning. "That was a number of years ago," he continued. "The nature of my work forced me to be very Irregular with my meals, and that, together with a general misuse of my stomach, brought on nervous dyspepsia. My trouble com menced with bloating constipation, and this was accompanied with pain In the back and stomach. I suffered with shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart, sleeplessness and an abso lutely miserable feeling at all times. About three years ago I had an attack which confined me to my bed for three weeks, and times -without number after that I was obliged to give up. My kid neys also became affected, and caused me considerable trouble. "Four different doctors attempted to cure me. but they trove me only tem porary relief. I became utterly discour aged. Then I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Relief came In about a week, and at the end of four months I was entirely well. "I can only say that I believe I owe my life to Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and can find no words to express my thanks for what they have done for me. Bet ter than sold Is. but mild praise for them. Everybody who knows me re marks the wonderful change. I can eat anything now, slee'p like a child, and do my work with ease. I do not need med icine any more, although I always keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People on hand." Mr. Eldrldge lives at No. 235 Carroll street, and is but one of thousands who always speak of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the highest terms of praise. They know what this remedy will do, for they have used it It acts directly on the blood and nerves. At all druggists, ot direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec tady, N. Y., fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dollars and fifty cents. as if to express h'ls opinion still more emphatically he repeated: "I don't," and then added: "I swear I don't." "Do you think you know Agulnaldo bet ter than General Otis?" asked Senator Carmack. "In some things I think I do," the Ad miral replied. "I think my Judgment Is better In some matters than the Gen eral's. I don't believe he ever saw Agul naldo, and I saw him 50 times. More over. I know hl3 history." "Do you think you know him better than General Bell?" "I think I know him better than any of our officers." "Did Agulnaldo tell you that he was there for money and loot?" "1 saw' In his action that he was. He had not been there 43 hours . before he was taking everything in sight provi sions, munitions, etc." . . r "From the Spaniards?," . "From everybody." "For himself?" "I expect he got the lion's share." . "If General Otis and General Bell should say they regarded Agulnaldo as personal ly honest in money matters would their statement Influence your opinion in re gard to him?" "Not in the slightest degree." "You don't know of a single dishonest acf on the part of the man you regard as a thief?" Just before this question was asked Senator Lodge, as chairman of the com mittee, bad announced that 2 o'clock, the hour for adjournment had arrived. The Admiral took advantage of this announce ment to cut short a line of Inquiry that was plainly annoying him. He rose as the last question was being propounded and when it was concluded said: "I think I shan't answer that question."- He then took his hat and left the room with a polite word of adieu, but without, being finally dismissed. The examination of the Admiral will be concluded tomor row. More Soft Conl Mined. PHILADELPHIA. June 27. The state ment of coal and coke originating-, on the Pennsylvania Railroad lints east of Pitts burg and Erie for the "week ending- June 21 shows that there were carried only 5901 tons of anthracite coal, as compared with 92.S12 tons for the corresponding period of 1901. The shipments of bituminous coal were 58,596 tons, as compared with 3S4.079. and the coke tonnage was 191,841, as against 159.66S tons, the total tonnage amounting- to 77l?,335 tons. Notwithstanding- the falling off In the shipment of an thracite coal, the total fuel carried was greater than It was In -the corresponding week of IDOL m 1 Intercut and Dividend Payments. NEW YORlC. June 27. A compilation of Interest and dividend, payments made In June, published by the Journal of Com merce, shows that the total disbursements this season will run In exce?3 of 5123,000,- 000. This la considerably ahead of last year's total, and thus undoubtedly breaks all records. Dividends on railroad se curities show an increase over the same period last year of $2,137,000. while Indus trial dividends show a shrinkage of $4,619, 000. The'latter Is attributed largely to the disappearance of several large copper companies from tho list. . Needy Americans In Cuba. NEW YORK, June 27.

WHEN YOU ! MOYER CLOTHING CO. MAY REVIVE PROGRAMME NOT ALL CORONATION FESTIVITIES TO BE ABANDONED. Prince and Princess of Wales Will Review Indian and Colonial Troops Other Maneuvers. LONDON, June 23. The Daily Mall says this morning that all King Edward's functions are working admirably. The drainage pipe has not yet been removed, but the King's progress Is sure and steady. His diet already Includes coup, fish, and baked apples. It is probable that next week the number of dally bulletins will be diminished. "It has been infor mally settled," says the paper, "that as soon as It Is safe to do so. His Majesty will be moved to Cowes and placed on board the royal yacht for his period of convalescence." The King of Denmark, who intended coming to London today, has been dis suaded from doing so by Queen Alexandra, who telegraphed her father.that King Ed ward is making good progress. The prospect for the King's rapid re covery has led to a revival of the projects for festivities. It has practically been de cided that the Indian and colonial troops here shall be reviewed next Tuesday or "Wednesday by the Prince and Princess of Wales on the horse guards parade. Queen Alexandra attending to take the salute on behalf of the King, aa she did recently at Aldershot. This Idea was warmly advo cated by the Colonial Premiers In London, and It has been approved by Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary. It Is also likely that as soon as His Majesty fa pronounced to be out ot dan ger, London will indulge In a general Illu mination. Very fev of the illumination devices have been disturbed, their own ers awaiting the decision of the Princess of Wales in the matter. Tho Prince has not yet ordered the removal of the de vices from Marlborough House. It is now possible that the abandonment of the naval review" set for June 2S will be reconsidered In the interests of-theco-lonial and Indian visitors, who are greatly disappointed at missing the sight. The other entertainments for the national colonial and Indian guests are also being arranged. Thus, if there is no setback in His Majesty's progress, there will be a. partial revival of the Interrupted 'festivi ties. The Times says this morning: "The King remains recumbent, he takes with comfort the nourishment appropriate to his condition, and keeps bright and cheer ful in spite of the Irksomeness of his en- forced inactivity. Some of his medical advlsers are always In attendance. There is happily good reason for hoping that His Majesty will make a complete and speedy recovery." In an editorial article the Times euggests utilizing the return of Lord Kitchener to England, about July 12, as a suitable occasion to organize some kind of ceremonial. In which Queen Alex andra, and the Prince and Princess of Wales" might participate, to express the national feeling of thankfulness over the King's recovery. Fish Pood. Public Opinion.
