THE KING'S ILLNESS

Uuited Press Association—By Electric Telegraph-rCoypright.

London, June 25 The King had a poor night, and was semi-conscious at intervals. His tempera ture was high, bnt he experienced very little pain. The crisis will be reached on Thursday morning. To-day's bulletin is more encouraging. The Coronation stands and decorations are being removed everywhere. The thirty miles of warships at Spithead are dispersing on Wednesday. Marlborough House was among the first from which the decorations were removed. Hia Majesty's illness is regarded as a bad omen by the Indian troops, who are obvi ously distressed. Large losses have been made by Lloyd's m connection with Coronation insurances. The King's illness is having a depressing effect upon the Stock Exchange. Business ia stagnant, Consols having fallen to 95|. KasMakonnen, the Abbyssinian Envoy to the Coronation, has offered, and Dean Bradley, of Westminister, has accepted, a cross as a votive offering to the Abbey for the King's recovery. - The Canadian Government has cancelled Thursday's public holiday, and all celebra brations. Sympathetic crowds of all classes re mained outside the Palace all night long. Hundreds of cyclists swelled the gathering m the early morning. When the bulletin announcing that a suc cessful operation had been performed, waa posted at the Mansion House the crowd sang the National Anthem, and also after the issue of the evening bulletin. There are thousands of callers at the Palace. Two thousand names were entered m the visitors' book the first day. The " Medical Journal " states that the pus extracted was decomposed, showing that the King had borne with admirable courage severe suffering m order to save Mb subjects disappointment. The abscess waß due to inflammation and not to organic disease or a malignant growth. Mr Seddon and Mr Barton have cancelled all their immediate engagements, and have sent addresses of condolenoe to the Royal family. The Agents-General sent a umted mes sage of condolence. London, June 26 Sir Frederick Treves, Sir Francis Laking, end Sir Thomas Barlow, Royal physicians, were at the King's bedside all night. They were joined yesterday morning by Sir Thomas Smith and Lord Lister. Lord Roberts inspected the colonial troops by the Bavarian aboard the ship. They will encamp m London. The reser vists who were to take part m the Corona tion celebrations proceed to their homes. The Queen is unremitting m nursing his Majesty, and bears the strain admirably. A bulletin at 10.50 p.m. stated that the King continues to make satisfactory pro gress. He slept for son/c hours during the day, and he complains very little of dis comfort, and is more cheerful. The wound Is doing well. The Duke of Cambridge, addressing the Duke of Cambridge's Own Begiment, said lie was hopeful, almost confident, with re gard to the King. The " Pall Mall Gazette" says an intes tinal abscess blocked the natural channel and involved certain death unless it was removed.' An incision was made near the groin and was carried upwards with an outer slant for 4£ inches. The cavity was drained. Renter's Agency states the Professors Lannalongue, Pozzi, and other French specialists are entirely optimistic regard ing the King's chances of recovery. The whole of India is deeply moved, and every creed joins m prayers at a united service to be held at Madras to-day. The Kaiser is profoundly affected at the King's illness. The Queen and the Prince of Wales tele graphed their thanks for the sympathy from the provinces, and added that the King was progressing satisfactorily. Germany has officially expressed her earnest sympathy. The German and French newspapers vie with each, other m the warmth of their expressions. The latter remark that the colonies are inseparable and indistinguish able from the Motherland m joy and sorrow. The chaplains of the American Senate and the House of Representatives invoked blessings on the King and the United King dom, and recalled Britain's sympathy with President McKinley and the American Bation. The Italian Senate sent a message of sympathy with the King, expressing joy at the latest and better news. The President of the Italian Chamber, m. a touching speech, asked Signor Zanardelli to make frequent enquiry, and to immedia tely communicate what all hoped would be sood tidings. The Kaiser, President Loubet, the Em peror of Austria and all heads of States have expressed concern and frequently en quire as to the King's condition. The Archdukes Francis Albert of Bel gium, and Leopold of Bavaria, and Admiral Gervais, representing France, have already departed. Sydney, June 26 Medical men, while taking a hopeful view of the case, do not disguise the ele ments of danger The King's age also must bo taken into consideration. As to the after effects of the operation, no idea can at present be formed. One doctor says that there is little doubt that the Court physicians knew the nature of the malady ten days ago, but they prob ably decided for State reasons that it should not be disclosed. He does not think, how ever, that they are keeping anything back now.

United Religious Service.

A united intercession service m connection with the illness of the King, was held m the Oddfellows' Hall yesterday afternoon, when there was a very large congregation, An apology for absence was received front His Worship the Mayor (Mr W.H. Collins). In announcing the first hymn, the Eev. Gr. B. Inglis said that the latest cable from London was of a reassuring nature. Prayers were offered up by Eevs. T. Fee, Inglis, and Blakiston. In the absence of the Rev. W. Lamb, Eev. Mr Fee read the first lesson. Hymns 373,260, 264, and 537 were sung at intervals during the service, and a short sermon was delivered by the Eev. E. Whitehouse, who said the health of the King had caused some concern, but tho notion that the Coronation ceremony itself would not take place, but that there would be sadness throughout the Empire, never entered our heada. When at length, we realised what the news meant, a feeling of sorrow spread through the community; when we realised that there was the greatest danger that the Kin"- Js life would be taken away, we began to think of all that was good m tnat lite. The King had come nearest to the ideal prince that this world had evte seen, through the influence of the great; Queen Thorn h© snoceeae on the throne. When

! we thought of this life, which is ao necessary *, to us, being taken away, we could only prostrate ourselves before God, and entreat him to be merciful, and deliver tlio nation from the position m which it is placed. Let us turn then to Him, with every confidence that our prayors will be answered. Mr H.A. Gates acted as musical conductor.
