London, July 1. For the first timo since tho opera

his physicians this morning issued a bulletin regarding
his majesty's condition, which was unqualifiedly satisfac
torT. The bulletin says:
"The King passed an excellent night of natural sloop.
He has gained strength and made substantial improvement
in all respects."
It is announced upon apparently excellent authority
this morning that an invitation has been extended by
Queen Alexandria to the Danish Hussars to return to Lon
don at the end of September for the coronation of tho
King.

London, July 1. Added to the
thoroughly hopeful tone of the officlul
bulletin, the apearance of the queen
at the review of the colonial troops
today showed conclusively that the
brightest Lopes of the king's recovery
are now entertained in all official
quarters.
When the queen's carriage emerg
ed from the palace grounds to take
its place at the review station the
great crowds gathered around the
palace cheered frantically and only
the discipline of tho army restrained
the troops from making a similar
demonstration.
The queen looked In her usual good
health, and smiled and bowed in an
animated fashion to the cheering
crowd.
Experts not Satisfied.
Medical authorities are. by no

They may depend too much upon

The best semi-official Information
is that while the bulletins accurately
reflect the state of tho king's wound,
his majesty's general health still
causes much uneasiness.
Wound Heals Slowly.
A medical expert says tho Icing's
wound is healing slower than was
expected and tells tho public to
watch the bulletins carefully for tho
