In President Roosevelt's cablegram to King Edward is contained the sentiment of the sympathy felt by all Washington since the grave news of the King's seri- ous condition and the coronation’s post- ponement was heralded in the streets to- day. This feeling is especlally marked on the part of the officials of the State De- partment, who have regarded the ap- proaching coronation as the greatest aip- lomatic event of modern times, and on the part of those d.iplomats who_still re- main here and who fear world-wide politi- cal complications should the illn@ss of his Majesty result seriously. The news was startling, notwithstanding the fact that reports of the King's serious condition which have peen current for several days were credited here. Many prominent Government officials to- day expressed a fear that the King will @it il DESCRIPTIVE 3 STORY OF SCENE IN PARLIAMENT lescence. ONDON, June 25.—Of the scene in l the House of Commons upon the ‘announcement of the illness of King Edward, T. P. O'Connor, Irish-Na- tionalist member and president of the Irish National League, has written the following account for the Associated Press: “The workaday world goes on inits usual way, whatever tragedy be in the air, and this is especially true of the House of Commons, which even yet is bound down with the iron rules that no high destiny or national crists can un- bind. And thus it was to-day, when the whole world of London was shaken by | the announcement of the postponement | of the coronation and the serious illness | of the King, for which everybody was | waiting to see the Ministers enter and | hear some news one way or the other, a clerk at a table read out the words of | a petition from a provincial town,coun- cil in reference to the pending education- al bill. The educational bili is important, but to have this petition with its dreary tautology read when the fate of the mon- arch was in the balance was one of those grotesque contradictions which exasper- ated and finally grated on the nerves of | the House. But as the clerk read stolid-| ly on in a muffled voice, the house began at last to interrupt him with discordant | and even indecorous cries, and while the House was thus descending into undigni- fied disorder, the Ministers were still ab- sent from their places and the House was ithout news. sq!;sdifxln';,pue of all this, and in spite of ven the discordant and grotesque shouts, here was that about the place which showed that something was in the air that affected and frightened men. It is no ex- aggeration to say that there was a look of far more profound depression about th House than even in those awful and trying hours for Englishmen when the disasters of Colenso and Spionkop seemed to make the whole fabric of the empire reel. Many of the members looked positively broken- heartgd. They entered the House as if jliness were theirs and as if a blow had en upon them. I‘B']‘!rhc lgca‘ petition was at last finished. the cries cecased and there fell a somber and solemn stillness on the House when Mr. Balfour and the other Ministers filed in. Spontaneously and universally hats were taken off when Mr. Balfous rose and announced that he had a message to de- liver in reference to the King. The House of Commons looks its best and its most impressive when it is thus uncovered. It is the custom for hats to be kept on, and therefore the mere act of uncovering heads gives to the familiar place a cer- tain unusualness of look and a certain solemn exaltation, and so it was to-day when Mr. Balfour arose. Mr. Balfour is not a man“who ever shows much feeling, and it is said of him by some of his most severe critics that he has much sentiment, but no_ feeling. “To-day, however, nobody could deny that for once Mr. Balfour seemed to be oved, and it was with something of a reak in his voice that he announced the seriousness of the King's condition and the fact that the operation had been al- ready performed. There was*no display of feeling until Mr. Balfour came 10 the point where he foreshadowed the state- ment that the surgeons were nop~ful of the result. It was an evidence cf how keen was the feeling that he was not al- lowed to conclude his sentence. There was an anticipatory and big outburst of cheers from all parts of the House. “Mr. Balfour's statement occupied but a few moments and it was followed by a few words from Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- , the leader of the opposition, and ole scene was over. It took but a Under Royal Warrant Apollinaris THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS is supplied to His Majesty, TheKingofEngland and to H.R.H. The Prince of Wales and served at all the Court Festivities. Special Dispatch to The Call. not survive, but official advices received to-day from Special Embassador White- law Reid and Henry White, Secretary of the United States Embassy in London, were encouraging in tone. Secretary Hay had left Washington for Boston before the news had been re- celved, but it was sent to him as soon as it arrived. President Roosevelt was fur- nished with a copy of official advices as fast as they were received at the State Department. . At the British Embassy, still under the gloom of the death of the British Embas- sador, Lord Pauncefote, a hopeful view of their sovereign's fllness.is taken by Arthur S. Raikes, Charge d’Affaires, and the attaches. A cablegram was received early this af- ternoon at the State Department, where Dr. D. J. Hill, First Assistant Secretary, was acting secretary, from Whitelaw Reid, Special Embassador from the Uni- ted States to the coronation. The text of this communication was withheld, but it was announced in sub- stance that Embassador Reld had receiv- ed a telephone message from Buckingham Palace at 11 a. m., that owing to the con- dition of the King's health the banquet which was to have been held .to-night had been postponed. Later, accompanied by Sir Fleetwood Edwards, to whom has few moments and but for the general air been assigned the duty of the entertain- ment of special embassadors to the cor- onation, Reid went to Buckingham Palace and found the King just rallying from the operation. He was doing nicely and had escaped the usual shock attendant upon such operations. Reld stated that the coronation had gone over without date and that the ceremonies arranged for to- morrow had been declared off. Signs of sorrow, he cabled, were everywhere vis- ible in London. From Henry White, sec- retary of the United States Embassy in London, a cable dispatch was received by Dr. Hill to the effect that the coronation was posiponed indefinitely, but that it could not occur within at least two months, and that all ceremonies attend-, ant upon it had been called off, with the exception of the King’s dinner to the oor, which will take place on Saturday. Until the date to which the coronation will be postponed is set, the department here is unable to say what will be the di- rections issued to Reid and members ot the special embassy from this country to the coronation. Such plans will Trest largely with the pleasure of Reid himself. There is a possibility that the embassy | might return to this country or that the members might merely consider them- selves released from their duties for the present and again gather to attend -the coronation. worthy of such a_mother and worthy of of the House, to which I have alluded, the | such an empire. By his tact, by his gen- scene was not impressive, “The House then went on with the dis- cussion of the educational bill in its mary details, somberly, but regularly and pro- saically, as if nothing had occurred. But there s a certain lifelessness in it all, and as is usual when something tragic is in the air the real life of the House was in the lobbles and not on the floor. The members gathered in groups and King Edward was the one toplic of conversd- tion. There was nothing but regret and sympathy; the tragic elements of the case broke down all barriers, and men only thought of the suffering fellow man struck down at the moment when, if ever, the hand of cruel fate ought to have been stayed. “The excitement was brought to a cli- max when a report spread like wildfire that the King was sinking, and this was soon followed by a re‘fort that his Majesty was actually dead. A shiver as of the passing of the Angel Death then passed over everybody, and the members of the House rushed hither and thither, but with that characteristic quiet- and apparent want of emotion which Englishmen so rarely lose. “The place to go at that moment for the latest information was the House of Lords. The false report of King Edward’s death came at twenty minutes past 4 o'clock, and at half past 4 the House of Lords began its sitting. There was an un- usually full attendance, and so many la- dies pressed for admittance that they had to be remonstrated with by the attend- ants, and the poor things were rather hustled. The peers had to begin, like the Commons, with some commonplace busi- ness, the reading in dumb show of some documents and other trivialities, but this did not last long. Lord Spencer is now the leader of the Liberal party in the House of Lords; the Earl of Kimberley is dead and Lord Rosebery has retired. * “To-day when Lord Spencer arose he was pallid and ‘evidently unnerved. He acked the’ question with just a sentence and a half of sympathy, after the terse fashion of Englishmen. Lord Salisbury ‘was \more length:; Indeed, to tell the truth, he appeared to many as if he were clumsily looking around for words and as if his usual felicity of language had de- serted him. “It was mot a very impressive scene, but was thought to be rather more strik- ing than the scene in the House of Com- mons, and here comes one of the little ironies of life: “Tea on the terrace, one of London's most fashionable gatherings, has been al- most abolished this year by the bad weather. To-day the sun was blazing, with the result that the ladies came out like butterflies after a shower and never was the terrace so thronged, so gay and s0 tumultuous as on this day of fright and grief. There was something mourn- ful as well as striking in the scene and if anything were wanting to make it more mournful it was the gay bunting, the Venetian masts and the giaring colors of the decorations on Westminster bridge, which cuts the skyline from the terrace. “The flags flapped lazily in the sultry alr, the vast crowds passed slowly by the huge and groaning buses which stood in rows of six and seven at a time. The tide of life flowed on strong and tumult- gou‘s‘:‘ ,and the King {is fighting with eath. PRAISES KING AND THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA OAKTLAND, June 24.—During a banquet to-night under the auspices of ,the Sons and Daughters of St. George that could not be postponed on account of the exten- sive arrangements, the Hon. Digby John- stone, late M. P., spoke feelingly of the | impending death of King Edward. “I am conscious,” he said, “that it is probable that before to-morrow morning dawns King Edward may have ceased to live. Only sixteen months have passed since we mourned the death of his be- loved mother—a woman who had endeared herself as Queen and mother to all her subjects scattered over the wide werld. Her son had no easy task vefure him when he was called to fill her place at the head of the greatest empire. Bul he has done so in a way to show that he was B 1 FLASH KILLS MOURNERS Lo bt MADRID, June 24— ‘While a funeral was being held in a church at Pin- ero, in the province of Orenz, to-day, the building was struck by lightning, as a re- sult of which twenty-five people were killed and thirty- five were injured. & s s erosity, by his large-heartedness, by his earnest desire for everything that tended to the prosperity and happiness of his people he has already won the hearts of millions of his people scattered over che face of the earth. “I feel what I will not attempt to de- scribe, the feelings under which we re- celved the sad news to-day. It is the most appalling event that could have been conceived of by any one. Never was London anticipating So bright and bril- | lant a pageant as it was during the last few weeks in anticipation of the corona- tlon of the King. Never were so many princes and potentates gathered together to do honor to one man, London is full of people who yesterday were joyously anticipating the rageanlry of Thursday next, and it is full to-night of sorrowing and weeping men and women. “If it please God to restore him we will all join ude, but if he is, duri Rotirs GE-CHIS MY, fo pass Sweyr will pray that through the valley of the shadow of death the presence of the Gouvd Shepherd may be with him and that it he is not to be wned here he may be erowned in the world to come.” PHYSICIANS TELL ABOUT PERITYPHLITIS EW YORK, June 24—Dr. Cyrus Edson explained the King's illness ahd the operation as follows: +“Perityphlitis s inflammation, including the formation of an abscess of the tissues around the vermiform appen- dix, and hence perityphlitis is hard to dis- tinguish at once from appendicitis. Usu- ally an operation is necessary to ascer- tain whether the appendix or the sur- rounding tissue is diseased. In the King's case there is probably an abscess at the head of the large intestine whére the ap- pendix begins and the operation to-day was an immediate necessity, because the abscess had to be got at at once and emptied of its contents or pus. Of course, I cannot say what further than the abscess was discovered by the surgeons— that is, to what extent the inflammation had affected that part of the King's body. Under ordinary circumstances he ought to recover in three or four weeks, but after recovery it would be perhaps four weeks more before he would be able to perform his part of the coronation ceremonies. The King's trouble is in his right side, low down.” Perityphlitis, the m‘d—lady from which King Edward is suffering, is an acute form of appendicitis. The medical diction- ary defines the disease as the acute in- flammation of the connective tissues sur- rounding the caecum. It is pronounced very dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. An operation s necessary in most cases to.cure the patient who suffers from it. 1‘1‘; an interview Dr. Samuel Gardner said: “‘Perityphlitis is diagnosed as an acute form of appendicitis and is considered a most dangerous disease. It differs from appendicitis in the fact that the head of the colon, or longest division of the in- testinal organs, becomes infected, while appendicitis affects only the appendix, a small projection of the colon, ‘“The disease may be caused from an in- jury of the intestinal organs, or it may be contracted in the same way appendicitis is' generally brought on. Inflammation of the colon often sets in and -this has also been known to result in perityphlitis. Acute dysentery may also bring on the disease. ~Perityphlitis is uncommon and is considered extremely dangerous by medi- cal men. It is not necessarily fatal, as T have known of several cases that have been cured in this city within the past few months.” Dr. Bazet said the malady’ was fatal in a great many cases, but the patient al- ways had a chance to survive it. Great Loss to Speculators. LONDON, June 24.—The work of demol- ishing the stands and ali the parapher- nalia prepared for the coronation pageant was in full swing during’ the latter part of the afternoon. Hundreds of workmen who this morning were engaged in put- | ting the finishing touches on the various Jobs, were at work tearing down all that has taken weeks to accomplish. The loss to the insurance companies will be ; heavy, as great numbers of commercial companies and private individuals had taken out policies to cover them from the loss of recelpts from stands and the cost of decoratichs in the event of the cor- onation ceremony not occurring. ‘Where speculators and householders did not take such precautions, the losses will in many cases medn an approach to bank- ruptey.

I was in B_utA falo at the time and the city was in just such a state of exultation and exaltation as London was this morning. There as here one saw everywhere people enjoying themselves. Here, from coster to peer, the whole population yas anticipating the crowning of the King. Happy crowds were everywhere and people were ap- plauding and cheering the decorations which especially appealed to them. “Looking out of my window just when the news was being given out'I saw a dra- | matic sight. There was a tremendous congestion 6f persons and vehicles in Pall Mall, which lasted fully fifteen minutes. Suddenly the news vender was seen, who held aloft a_ huge poster of one of the newspapers bearing the words, Corena- tion postponed; King very ill.” In a min- ute the whole crowd had dissolved and soon the street was occupled only by or- dinary traffic. 5 “‘One thing that strikes one most forc- ibly at this time,” said the Senator, “is the immense popularity of the King. Not a single discordant note, and I have talk- ed with many distinguished men, have I heard in the general chorus of sorrow for the King's illness.” “This is a very disastrous calamity, which will touch ‘the hearts of people all over the world,’ said General Joseph Wheeler. *‘All people have a deep sym- pathy.for those who, just about receiving great honors, are suddenly prostrated. The entire world® hopes for the King's speedy recoverf‘. ‘Whatever may be the course of the disaster, the gayety of Lon- don must, it seems to me, immediately cease.

He is "phy- sician in ordinary and surgeon apothecary to the King,” also ‘“apothecary to his Majesty’s household.” Sir Joseph Lister was surgeon extra- j ordinary to Queen Victoria and was ap- pointed to the same position by King Ed- ward. He has been professor of clinical surgery in various colleges, and is fam- ous for his discovery of the antiseptic treatment in surgery. Sir Thomas Barlow, physician extraor- dinary, held the same position under Queen Victoria.
