KING 1 Reports of Condition of England's Ruler Most Encouraging, He Now Having a Very Fair Chance for Ultimate Recovery. London, June 27. The officials to- gone before the peoplo, which as a day strenuously protest that the rcf- people are now coming to the homo erence to renewed pain last night of thq king Inquiring anxiously about does not necessarily mean that his, majesty was In any serious danger because of this pain, but the general opinion is that the king was "not as well as usual during the early part of the night. Reynold's Weekly Newspaper, which has been extraordinarily accu rate In its references to the king's condition, says today that the king has been operated upon no less than three times since last June for a malignant affection of the larynx. Daily sprayings have taken place and the king has practically ceased smoking. June 3 the physicians be came alarmed. Severe abdominal pains were experienced by his maj esty and he was dosed with opium. On Saturday last the king's strength began to fail and several of the doctors knew that only an oper ation could save his majesty's life, but the ministers were still determin ed the coronation must take place. When the king came to London bo was In horrible pain and fainted soon after entering -the palace. Some thought him dead. His temperature that night was 102 and he was vom iting fearfully. When the operation was performed over a pint of viru lent pus was removed. The paper severely crltisod the ministers for concealing the truth and allowing speculators to make fab ulous sums from a deceived people. Anxiety Allayed, The feeling of great anxiety caused by last night's bulletin regarding the king's condition was partly allayed this morning when the following bul letin was posted: "His majesty had a fair night with some settled sleep. His appetite has Improved and the wound is much more comfortable. On the whole, the king's condition is attended with less anxiety." Another Favorable One. The bulletin issued at 2 o'clock 1b of the same hopeful tone. It said: "His majesty passed a comfortable morning. All the symptoms today are so far satisfactory. H1b temper ature remains- normal." The Irony of Fate. The irony of fate Is being more and more realized by the people of Lon don as the days of the king's illness continue. Today Is the day when the king In state procession was to have CONVICT TRAC Held Up a Woman at Whatcom, Wash,, and Was Peppered . by an Officer While Portland, June 27. A special from Whatcom, Wash., says that convict Tracy was killed there jiist before noon, by Officer Alvord. A man sup posed to be Tracy held up a woman at. dawn and took $20. Tho woman reported to tho authorities and Of ficers Alvord and Jessup started to search the freight depot to make an arrest They saw a man trying to get Into a box car. Jessup started to catch him, when the man fired. Jessup jumped back, unwounded, and before CANADIAN MANUFACTURERS WILL FIGHT FOR Seattle, June 27. A Dawson special says the sTeamer rate war on the Upper Yukon has terminated In an agreement between the four big companies, each of which has deposited $1000 forfeit. The new rate to White Horse is $50 first-class, $40 second; from White Horse, $45 and $35 to White Pass. The companies get $10 addi tional for the four fastest boats. George H. Hees. sent by the Can adlan Manufacturers' Association to loam why Dawson trade goes to Po than Canada, Investigated quietly an d A -fight will undoubtedly be made for STILL IMPROVING his condition. Few persons waited at the palace over night, but dawn brought renew als of the crowd. In vl ewof tho hopefulness of tho official bulletins, the tendency is to resume operations for tho minor events planned for tho coronation. No Regent Necessary. It Is now thought if tho king's con dition continues favorable no regent will be necessary and tho naval re view may yet be made. 'The last official bulletin created a most favorable Impression in pari! mentary circles and tho opinion is held by medical experts that all dan ger of the septic process Is ondod. So far as can be seen, thoy say, tho crisis in the king's condition may bo regarded as over. Closed Day Well. An official bulletin at 6 o'clock says: "Tho king has maintained tho sat isfactory condition described In tho last bulletin. His majesty shows no disquieting symptoms." Government Leader Balfour today assured the members of the house of commons that the king's condition was very satisfactory. Would Fulfill a Prophesy. In 1861 or 2, when Queen Victoria was quite ill and waB supposed to be slightly Insane, who was to succeed in caso her malady should prove bo rlous enough to prevent her ruling over the British nation was tho gen oral conversation of all civilized na tions of the cattb. Then thero came the startling news that It was pre dicted by a famous gipsy, that the Prince of WaleB, who was tho eldest son of the queen, would never live to be crowned king of England. At tho time the prediction was made It cre ated quite a sensation, and many thought it but the talk of a garrulous old woman, and at the time of tho death of tho queen tho prediction was again repeated, and it was thought by many a plot had been concocted to assassinate htm, and extra caution was taken for his pro tection. Tho present very sorlous Ill ness of the king, should it tormlnato fatally, would go far towards shaking the faith of skeptics In regard to ful Ailment of prophesies, and would el evat'e the prophets to a high degreo in tho minds of many. Y IS KILLED Trying to Get Away, the man could fire again Alvord shot him. The officers took away two big re volvers and a knife. Tho man was taken to tho hospital, where he Is said to havo confessed before his death that ho was Tracy, and said that he separated from Merrill a few days ago to facilitate escape. He was beating his way out of the country on a freight and decided to hold up the woman and get some money, ' as he was broke. Tho of ficers say bo answers tho printed de scription and picture.
