_ THE WORLD: TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1902. Though Hours Have Passed Since the King’s Serious l.lness Be- came Known, All England Is Still Paralyzed by the Shock. LONDON, June 24.—Although it has been hours since the first report of the illness of the King reached the people the para- lyzing effect of the announcement remains. Every bulletin board is surrounded by anxious subjects of the King, and newspaper presses are unable to supply the demand for information. A silent, sorrowful assemblage surrounds Buckingham Palace, eager for the best news, fearing the worst. The first news of the actual condition of affairs in Bucking- ham Palace was made known this morning when a bulletin was is sued by Sir Franvis Knollys, private secretary to the King, an- nouneing that the coronation ceremonies would be postponed and that an operation would be performed at 2 o’clock. At the same time the announcement was made to the House of Commons and other public bodies. The acting Lord Chamberlain, Lord Churehill, personally de- livered to the Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor, a message regarding His Majesty’s illness. PRAYERS FOR HIS MAJESTY. All of those who were to have taken part in the coronation rehearsal at Westminster Abbey were ready to proceed this morn- ing when the ominous news was sent from Buckingham Palace, -The Bishop of London, after the announcement of the illness of His Majesty had been made, requested the congregation to pray for the recovery of the King. ‘ To the people the announcement of the illness of the King was delivered through the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, in the following notice: The Earl Marstial has received the King’s eom- mands to express His Majesty’s deep sorrow that owing to his serious illness the coronation ceremony must be postponed. The celebrations in London will in consequence be likewise postponed, but it is the King’s earnest hope that the celebrations in the country shall be held as already ar- ranged. | WILD EXCITEMENT IN STREETS. In the densely thronged streets through which the coronation proces- | sion was to have passed the wildest excitement prevailed. Mobs struggled around the bulletin boards. Newspapers containing news of the slimmest description commanded | whatever prices the venders cared to ask The great ude of travel has set in, London is crowded with strangers ‘and the effect of the news of the postponement of the coronation ceremony is indescribable, | MEANS ENORMOUS FINANCIAL LOSS. Feverish gambling on the life of the ICing 1s belng carried on, Lloyds as thronged with men willing to bet that His Majesty will live or die. Tradesmen who had Jaid in enormous quantities of supplies for the zl pected rush are in despair. Tons of fish are sure to rot at Billingsgate and j tons of meat must be thrown away. Bakers who had prepared to bake millions of loaves must change all their arrangements, and in the ranks of those who looked upon the corona- tion from a commercial standpoint there is the veriest panic. SPECIAL ENVOYS MAY GO HOME. What the foreign guests may do is undecided. It will be so long before tho coronation can take place, in the event of the King’s recovery, that for ~ a ny them to remain in London ts out of the question.
