Before to-morrow morning over half a million in- vitauons will have been sent out. The dinner involves the employment of over 6800 stewards, an army of waiters and 1500 music hall entertainers.

While the | barriers around Westminster Abbey have been removed the decorations are being completed for the benefit, to-morrow and Sunday, of the crowds. The demolition of the stands has begun and progresses slowly. The hotels and provision dealers are hit the hardest. Thousands of pounds of perishable food of the most expensive varieties are crowding every refrigerator | in London, while orders for many tons | more were telegraphically canceled yes- | terday and will remain a source of liti- gation or compromise. The caterers of the fashionable West End establishments have already announced that they are willing to share the losses of their pa- trons who had given large orders for delivery to-morrow and Friday. Few of the caterers or hotels availed themselves of the insurance, the recently offered Lloyd rate of ten l&er cent being con- any proprietors of sidered too high. reviewing stands were thus protected. But the important question remains as to whether the money paid for seats will nccessarily be refunded. Only ‘a few | seats of nearly half a milllon were sold with any specific proviso on this point. The manufacturers of medals and sou- venirs are badly hurt. One of those said that ten milllon medals, dated June 26th and June 27th, already struck, were now valueless. Altogether, London’s business loss is incalculable and the people of Ports- mouth, where preparations involving a | big_expenditure had been made to reap a harvest from the naval review, are | simply crushed. 'KING DESIRES DINNER GIVEN TO THE POOR ONDON, June 25.—The reports which l are again being circulated in New York of King Edward's desperate condition are untfue. Sir Thomas Lipton spent an hour at Buckingham Pal- ace this afternoon and the Associated Press has his authority for making this announcement: “The chances yesterday,” saild Sir Thomas, “were decidedly against his re- covery, but you can say thag at 12 carried out in some fashion, since it was considered deplorable that so many war- ships, forelgn and home, should disperse without any official inspection, but the Government leader in the House of Com- mons, A.

Such a case is extremely dangerous. The great English surgeons surrounding the bedside of the King nat- urally issue hopeful bulletins, but I should not be surprised if Edward were dead within a fortnight.” Pozzi and Championniere, two of the greatest French surgeons, hold similar views. Another doctor of international l'E-I pute, who was recently called to attend a member of the British royal family, | says that the case is complicated by the monarch’s recent indulgence in rich food and drink, especially champagne, in con- nection with the coronation entertain- ments.

CHICAGO, June 25.—Charles G. Gates, New York manager for Harris, Gates & Co., now at the Chicago offices of ths fitm, received a cable message from a prominent London physician, who is a friend of John W. Gates, his father. This physician, who is believed to have ac- cess to facts about the condition of the royal patient, says that it is his opinion that “‘the King will not iive twenty-four hours.” He asks that his name be with- held for professional reasons.

Operation Performed Much Earlier Than Announced. Special Dispatch to The Call. -+ ONDON, June 25.—“The King continues to make satisfactory progress.” All over the crowd- ed Strand and thronged Picca- dilly these words were posted under glaring electric lights sands. London is to-night hoping for the best, but fearing the worst. It is mindful of the misleading bulletins of the late are received with skepticism. At the Carlton Hotel, that clearing- gossip of Europe, it has just been reported that a cable has been sent to Washington by a Peer close to the King’s household to prepare for the worst. It is impossible to find any one close to the royal family or any one whose position at court gives weight to his opinion, who does not be- lieve the King's condition most serious. Yet, In spite of all this, the doctors issue reassuring bulletins, as'if really the royal patient was progressing satisfactorily. Mr. Balfour makes a similar statement in Parllament. No temperature, respira- tion or pulse is given, only bare detalls. All inquirers, especially from the news- papers, are treated as interlopers. In spite of all secrecy, I learn from two excellent sources that the operation was not performed, as reported in_the official bulletins, at noon yesterday, but at half past 6 o’clock in the morning, and that the public was not taken into the confidence of the King's physicians until they felt the operation was a success. I also learn had a very serious relapse and that the physiclans in attendance during the night sent for their colleagues to come to the palace immediately. Fortunately the King rallied very quickly. This rumor traveled fast, as all rumors travel now. Again the correspondent sought official information and agaln it was refused him. But the inquiry evidently bore fruit. for within half an hour afterward a bulletin was {ssued supplementary to the onc which had been announced as the last for the night, making an explicit statement that the King had not only made satisfac- tory progress, but that he had slept for several hours during the day, that he complains little of discomfort and is more cheerful and adding that “his Majesty is doing well.” PERITONITIS OR HEMORRHAGE MAY FOLLOW ONDON, June 25.—The statement was made noon on the highest medical thority: Until the tubes now draining the cavity of the abscess have been withdrawn it will be im- possible to 2] certain that the King will pull through. What his physicians have now to fear is that peritonitis or hemorrhage may su- pervene. There must always be this danger in such cases. < Again, it Is a fact that any ab- scess due to perityphilitis may have a fatal is- sue without any warning symptoms. Al the indications are often masked until the post mortem, and there are many cases on record ‘where the disease was only discovered after death from an extraneous cause, such as an aceident. At any raté, the King's grave jll- ress must invalid him for a long time.

KILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT. Passed Gravel Stone as Large as a Pea. ROYERSFORD, Pa, April 1gth, 1902. Dr. Kilmer Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y. Gentlemen:—I had been a sufferer from kidney trouble for about 8 years with pain in side, back and head. About 6 or 8 months ago I concluded to try a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. To my surprise I experienced a decided relief before I had taken half of the bot- tle, and one morning passed a gravel stone as large as a pea, which I still have in my possession and will be pleased to show to any one who doubts the efficacy of this wonderful remedy. One month ago, finding some of the old symptoms returning, I purchased a 50c bottle of Swamp-Root at Dr. Morey’s Drug Store, and before I had taken one-fourth of it I found in the vessel which I had voided during the night a teaspoonful of small g‘raycl stones and sand, the passing of which was immediately followed by relief.

Owing to a sudden exacerbation early Tuesday morning an operation was decided upon at 10 o'clock and the operation was performed at moon on Tuesday by Sir Frederick Treves, the anes- thetic being administered by Dr. Frederick Hewitt. The abscess was opened around the | caecum, the pus evacuated and the cavity | drained. There was no resection of the bowel. the newspaper reports that tubing was required to preserve the continuity of the intestine be- ing entirely misleading. The recovery from anesthesia was satisfactory; the patient passed a restless night, succeeded by improvement, his condition being favorable on Wednesday at noon. | | | | | i Local Postponements. | The peace concert which was to have been held at Metropolitan Hall this even- ing has been postponed, and instead a sacred concert will be given, the special purpose being to offer prayers for the restoration of the health of King Edward. Tickets issued for the postponed meeting will be accepted at the door this evening. The coronation mass which was to have been said at the Church of the Advent to- day has also been postponed. The Loyal Legion Commandery of Cali- fornia has indefinitely postponed the re- ception to army officers returned from the Fhilippines. The function was announced to take place at the Occidental Hotel this evening, but in view of the condition of King Edward of England officers of the | leglon deem it proper to postpone the re- ception. YATRRE ST Tree Planted by Edward Is Dying. NEW YORK, June 25.—The English oak planted forty vears ago by King Edward VII is dying and will probably have to be cut down in a short time, as all efforts to preserve it have been unavailing. The tree has been dying for some time, but atten- tion has now been called to its condition by the illness of him who planted it. The tree is on the westerly border of the Mall, near Eagle dtatue, and near it is a mag- nificent American elm, which was planted by the King at the same time. The elm is in fine condition.
