KING EDWARD RECOVERING. Condition in All Ways Satisfactory Sunday in London. LONDON, June 29. Last night passed with less Incident at Buckingham Palace than any other night since the operation was performed on King Edward. There were fewer watchers outside the palace, the public apparently having accepted the announcement that the King has passed the point of Immediate danger. The fol lowing bulletin was issued at 9 o'clock this morning: "The King feels stronger. In spite of some discomfort from the wound. Noth ing has occurred to disturb the satisfac tory progress the King Is making." This bulletin was not .posted until 10 o'clock, consequently the few persons who were passing In the neighborhood of the palace were the only ones attracted to the announcement. When the footmen had posted the notice, however, the crowds soon increased, early churchgoers stopping to read the latest news and passing on with expressions of thankfulness. A bul letin posted at the palace at 4 o'clock this afternoon said the King's progress was In cverj' way satisfactory, and that the local discomfort had decreased. Sunday has again been a day of inter ccsslonal service throughout the kingdom for the recovery of King Edward. In the morning a vast crowd of the general pub lic gathered at St. Paul's Cathedral. There was also present a representative gather ing of government and colonial officials and uniformed colonial officers. The Duke and Duchess of Connaught and their chil dren and Lord and Lady Lansdownc sat under the dome. An Impressive service was conducted by the bishop of Stepnejv Right Rev. Cordon Lang, and at its con clusion the whore audlenc pans "God Save the King." Queeu.

The public was delighted with evidence of the King's continued improve ment. Throughout the United Kingdom all religious denominations made a similar Intercession for the sovereign's recovery. Monslgnore Merry del Val, the papal en voy to the coronation ot King Edward, conducted a service in Brompton Oratory this afternoon, his congregation including Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurler and ottier Canadians. Buckingham Palace has worn a gayer appearance today than for a week past, and the constant coming and going of roy alty and streams of carriages bore testi mony to the increased confidence that the King would recover. In the afternoon a party of Princesses drove to Sheen House. Richmond, and the Prince and Princess of Wales paid a long visit to Buckingham Palace. This evening the Queen and tho royal ladies dined In sight of the public through the windows in front of the pal ace. The King -was again successfully transferred from his bed to a movable couch. Several postponed functions are being rearranged. Lord and Lady Lansdownc announqed that their reception would be hold July 1. The King has commanded that the Prince and Princess of Wales shall represent their Majesties at the In dia Office .reception to be held July 4. Lord Cranbourne authorizes the follow ing .statement: "King Edward is rapidly getting better, and the moment therefore seems most ap propriate for public rejoicing. As chair man at the bonfires committee, I suggest that bonfires throughout the country be .?v -:- t . .. . -.a ugmea iionaay night." Ada Rehan was present at the services at Marlborough House Chapel. Owing to some friction between the In dian and colonial officers, there will be two separate reviews of the Horse Guards pa rade. The colonial troops will be reviewed Tuesday and the Indian troops Wednesday. Tho Prince of Wales will attend both days. The Czarewitch, who came to London as tho representative of Russia at the corona tion of King Edward, started for home to day. The fleet at Spithead has been or-. dered to disperse Wednesday morning. The United States battle-ships left Spit head this afternoon. Twenty-five hundred of the colonial troops who came to Eng land to be present at the coronation will sail around the fleet on transports tomor row, thus being given an opportunity to witness the great gathering of warships.

FIGHTING IN HAYTL Revolutionists Assault Cape Haytiea Lively Fight la Progress. CAPE HAYTIENrJune 29. There has been much fighting here today, and great excitement prevails. Admiral Killy, com mander of the Haytlen fleet, disembarked a further detachment of troops and a large quantity of ammunition at 4 o'clock this afternoon for the better protection of General Flrmln, one of the candidates for the Presidency of the Republic Since S o'clock this morning there have been sev eral engagements between the men from the fleet and the revolutionists from tho north. Several machine guns were set up In a commanding position by General Firmln's force, and an attempt was made to drive the men from the north from their posi tions. Notwithstanding the firing from the machine guns, detachments, jof the -northern revolutionists made several attacks on General Firmln's followers, and the latter were eventually dislodged. In the mean time the vessels under the command of Admiral Killy -wore bombarding Cape Hay tlen. This action, was taken without pre vious notification to the foreign Consuls here. There has been a lively rain of shots down the streets of Cape Haytlen all day long. The firing was particularly heavy between noon and 2 o'clock, and between 4 and. 5 o'clock this afternoon. At the moment of filing this dispatch the foreign Consuls under the protection of their flags are with General Firmln, and are about to embark on the government gunboat Pie rot. They are under a rather heavy fire, and in much danger. The foreign resi dents of this port are at present exposed to the lawlessness and savagery of the combatants. r - Deep regret Is expressedf that no war ships of a foreign power are In the harbor to afford protection to foreign residents. Great excitement reigns here this after noon, and as this dispatch 16 being sent the firing in the streets continues., Russia Didn't "Want Beer Peace. ST. PETERSBURG, June 29. The fact that no representative of the court or of the Ministry has called at the British Embassy here to offer the sympathy of Russia In the matter of the illness of King Edward, has occasioned much com ment and Is generally attributed to Rus sian chagrin on account of conclusion of peace in South Africa. It is said on excellent authority that Count Lams dorff, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, admitted that this jeace Bad! upset Rus sia's calculations, which were based upon a much longer continuance . of Great Britain's difficulties in South Africa.

WORK OF GONGRES Session Has Been Marked : by Exceptional Activity, APPROPRIATIONS ARE LARGE Isthmian Canal, Philippine Civil Ctovernment, Chinese ExcIbbIoh, tXatlonnl Banlc Charters, Ter , ranncnt Census Office, Etc. WASHINGTON. June 29. The work of CongrcssUs now practically closed, so that it Is posajble to sum up the record of what has been accomplished during the past seven months, -which constitute the first session of the 57th Congress. Tho session has been marked iby exceptional business activity, with many questions of far-reaching Importance and general in terest engaging attention. With the ex ception of the Cuban reciprocity bill, most of the larger subjects of general legisla tion have been enacted as laws or will become such before the session closes. Notable among these larger measures is the Isthnjlan Canal bill, which consum mates the'effbrts of a half century to link together the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific. Aside from its natlondl and In ternational, importance, this bill probably Involves a larger sum of money than that covering any other single undertaking by the Government, outside of war expendi tures. The Philippine civil government bijl is another measure of far-reaching Importance, extending to our remote Pa cific possessions a system of Internal gov ernment together with coinage, currencr, Banking, corporation, timber and home stead laws. Among the other important laws enacted are those, repealing the war revenue taxes, J extending ana maxing more puesuve iuc Chinese exclusion laws; establishing a tariff for goods to and from the Philip pines; extending the charter of National banks for 20 years; establishing a perma nent Census Office; restricting the sale of oleomargarine by placing a high tax on imitation butter; providing a consular and diplomatic service for Cuba; establishing an extensive system by which? the Go em inent will a. in the irrigalion of the arid sections of theWest. Larare Redaction In Revenue. The repeal of the war revenue taxes has reduced taxation $T3",3y0,00O, and Is said to be the largest single reduction of taxa tion ever made In this country. By this step the last of the taxes Imposed at the beginning of our war With Spain are wiped out. The Philippine tariff act imposes 75 per cent of the Dingle4 tariff rates' on ar ticles coming irom the Philippines to tno United States, and also imposes dutr on 'articles entering the Philippines from the TJnlted States. Thetqleoroargarlne act re sults from several'- years' agitation. It places a tax of 10 cents a pound on sub stances colored to imitate butter. The Irrigation actya of special Import ance to the West. l creates an lrriga, tlon fund In the Treasury Department Into which Is to be paid the proceeds of the sales of public lands In the arid states. This fund In turn is ta be used In storing water arid establlshlngllrrlgatlon systems, the Irrigation sections to be open to home steaders, who are to b$ charged a propor tionate: share of the cost of the improve ment. "L ' The Chinese excluslonllaw continues ex clusion "until otherwlseprovlded by law," and also applies the exclusion "to the Island territory under the Jurisdiction of the United States." - Aside from these Important laws,, there are a number of other measures of gen eral Importance, which fcave passed ono or both houses, but which have not pro gressed to the final stage These include the anti-anarchy legislation, which grew out of the assassination of. President Mc Klnley. Bills restricting- anarchy and throwing safeguards about the President have passed both houses, but It has been Impossible to reach an agreement In con ference, so that the subject will go over until next December. A bill giving statehood to. Arizona, New "Mexico and Oklahoma, known aa the qm- nlbus statehood bill, passed ttic House and thefSenate has determined to take up the matter early in the next session. The ship subsidy bill secured early at tention in the Senate, but the end of the session has come without the"measure be ins: -reported to the House. As It passed the Senate, the Bill grants grided subsi dies' to steam and sailing vessels of Amer icannuild. In the House it has been de sirable to let the subject co over until the 1 short session, whvn It is expected a bill on the subject will 'be reported and urged to" passage. A bill passed by tho -Senate and likely to become a law cbanged'the Marine H6s pltal service to a National health bureau and gives the bureau larger powers and facilities for co-operating with tho state health authorities in quarantine and health affairs. The bill to establish a cable between the United States, Hawaii and the Phil ippines was retired by defeat in the House. Xo Popnlar Election of Senators. The bill for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people passed the House by practically a unanimous vote, but in the Senate has received little atten tldp. and is not likely to pass. The House passed a bill relating to the immigration laws, codifying and amending these laws and making Important changes. It has been reported to the Senate, but there Is not much prospect of its passage at this session. The bill defining the meaning of conspiracy in injunction cases passed the House of Representatives, but has not made much progress la the Senate. On the other hand, the Senate passed an Important measure creating a Department of Commerce, to be presided over by a Cabinet officer, but it has made no prog- res? In the House, not having been report ed from the committee on commerce. An other bill of Interest to the commercial world Is the pure-food measure, which was drafted hy the Pure-Food Congress, and, after extended hearings, was reported from the House committed on commerce, but not passed. Th Fowler bllf probably was the most important financial measure which has been brought before Congrcsa After much discussion and several conferences. It has gone over for consideration until next De cember. Another financial measure, known, as the Hill bill, providing for the coinage of subsidiary silver, and for the retire ment of the present standard silver dollar, has passed tho House, but has not been acted on in the Senate. Among tho other Important measures of general legislation not heretofore named which have finally been efiactcd as laws are the following: To prevent the sale of firearms, opium and Intoxicating liquors to "the natives of certain of the Pacific island!;; to promote the efficiency of the revenue gutter service and to provide for the retirement of its J officers; to refund the duties paid in Porto Rlco'on articles Imported from the United J States during the military occupation; ap propriating $20O,GCO for the relief of the volcano sufferers at Martinique; authoriz ing the erection of Y. M. C A. buildings on United States military reservations, regulating the Introduction of English gsme birds for the purpose of propaga tion; providing for the protection of game In Alnska, such as caribou, moose, etc; refunding the amount of legacy tax paid by charitable, benevolent and eleemosy nary lnstltutlona Large Appropriations. The amount of appropriations of the ses sion will run unusually high, owing "la part to the amount required to build the Isthmian Canal. When Mr. Cannon sub mitted a general estimate of appropria tions a few weeks ago, he made the total up to that time $531,4 15,CC0. Since then the canal bill has passed, carrying a present appropriation of $40,000,000 for the fran chise and enough more for the rights of Colombia and for beginning the work to carry the total up to $30,000,000. The en tire cost ot the undertaking is approxi mately $i,ooo,eco. Mr. Cannon's estimate also omitted con tracts for future expenditures Included In the omnibus public buildings bill, the om nibus claims, and various other bills ag gregating a large amount. This will carry the total for the session, figuring In those future amounts, almost If not quite up to the billion-dollar mnrk. The appropria tion bills have contained little general leg islation, beln& confined chiefly to the regu lar needs of the various branches of the Government. The naval bill provided for an addition of two armored cruisers two battle-ships and two gunboats to the Navy, and a provision 13 still In controversy as to whether one of each class of these snips snail oe mint m government yaras. There have been several investigations during the session, which have attracted much attention. An investigation of con ditions In the Philippines, conducted by the Philippine committee of the Senate, has led to the examination of many witnesses hlRh In the conduct of civil and military affairs In the Islands. Another Senate In quiry lias related to the conduct of affairs in Cuba, especially as to sugar. In the House sensational charges made In connec tion with the purchase, -of tho Danish West Indian Islands leQ to an investigation which disclosed the groundless nature of tho charges. BUNCOMBE RULED OUT. Addrcsies of Filipinos to Rcfrlnients Xot Considered. MANILA, June 29. The board which In quired into the charges of cruelty, etc.. brought by Major Cornelius Gardener, Governor of the Province of Tayabas, against American officers and -soldiers, being desirous of completing Its sittings, held a session today. The recorder ob jected to the admission as evidence of addresses from Filipinos on the ground that these were merely buncombe and not worthy of consideration. He said that every regiment was deluged with such addresses, the worst regiments getting the most praise. He said that Major Gardener should have called the amants when ho was at Lucena, in Tayabaa Province, and that the court would per- sonally undertake to obtain pnysiolansrBsr-eattDr mm m the WOri,j i3 affidavits regarding conditions in Tay abas. The Filipinos, said the recorder,, are designing and past masters In the art of affidavits and addresses. The board had allowed the affidavits presented by Major Gardener, but refused to receive more. Major Gardener, continuing his testi mony, said he had considered his original report to be strictly confidential and for Secretary. of War Root, and since he wrote his 'report and during the present investigation he had heard testimony which he presumed to be true, which, had he heard It before, might have caused him materially to have altered his" report. He said that Insurgent troops might have been temporarily disbanded and hidden and no one except themselves cognizant of their existence. Regarding the alleged cases of outrage committed by five soldiers. Major Gar dener said he did not desire to bring these charges before the board and that they probably were not true, although he had made his report In good faith, as the orig inal affidavit proved. Regarding the charge that American soldiers In the Summer and Fall of 1901 had administered the water euro to na tives. Major Gardener said that he re ceived Information to that effect from deputations of citizens from towns near where the cure was said to have been given. Manila. Papers Land General Smith.
