EXTENDS ROYAL HAND OF FELLOWSHIP
Tho Conciliatory Move Toward Promt
nont ProBoer3 Brought About a De-
cided Chango of Scntlmont
Special to The Post
London June 28 Thoie events that
have troubled the coronation period have
not only advanced King Edward to a
high position in popular esteem hut have
also added greatly to the strength of
the crown as a British institution The
influence of the Imperial power in the
hands of a broadminded just and concilia-
tory soercign is seen to make strongly for
the sense of imperial unity and to inspire
a feeling of confidence in the breasts of
all classes of hi1 subjects The king
stands above party prejudice and bitter-
ness and is prepared to hold the scales
evenly between all combatants King Ed-
wards first great act of wisdom as the
coronation approached was to extend a
welcome to the Boers as British citizens
and to compliment them on the magnifi-
cence of their conduct in the field His
next performance of the same character
consisted in the offer of a peerage to Sir
William Harcourt who fought the govern-
ments South African policj from begin-
ning to end and whom the antiwar party
loved to call a traitor to the king He
did not stop here but included John Mor-
ley the greatest of proBoers in the new
order of merit along with perhaps the
most select group of personages in the
empire
DELICATE AcFoF THE KING
This extension of the royal hand of
fellowship to meji who htfcs been com-
pelled for three years U ijht shy of the
mob has spread A wae o faiTectiojf for his
majesty throughout the ranks of liberal-
ism that has gone far to convince men
of the most democratic type of the useful
purposes of the crown It Is not to be
thought for a moment that Sir William
Harcourt John Morley or those whoSu
hearts and minds they represent had been
tirade disloyal by the harshness and mis-
representation of their fellow country-
men but the kings impartial and courage-
ous action has infused their loyalty with
a spirit of cordiality and contentment
somewhat lacking before
It is now also recognized that the non
British subjects of his majesty want a
personal sovereign and have little ca-
pacity to appreciate any other form of
governing power The net result of the
lessons of the hour is that the monarchy
commands a larger measure of respect and
devotion today than at any time previous
111 the development of the empire
Hi s MAJESTY OUT OF DANGER
The king is now out of immediate dan-
ger This announcement spread duickly
throughout tho metropolis and caused gen-
eral rejoicing The verdict upon which
the nation had so anxiously waited caused
a longer consultation than usual Lord
Lister Sir Frederick Treves and the other
doctors discussed the patients condition
for nearly an hour before they committed
themselves to the Important pronounce
ment It was read at Buckingham palace
by only a small crowd the public being
practically assured by yesterday evenings
reports that everything was going well
Yet to use the words of the Westminster
Gazette the bulletin was full of intense
relief
The underlying suspicion that the doc-
tors might fear more than they wrote the
sensational rumors of his majestys death
which continued so late as yesterday and
the lack of definite unofficial news all
combined to create intens e nervousness
Such hopeful statements as the Associated
Press has been able to make were not
available to the British public who how-
ever were spared the sensational reports
now so palpably absurd which were cabled
to America
The confidence itt to the wound In the
mornings bulletin it is authoritatively set
forth can be regarded without any dis-
quietude By June 30 the doctors are
lUtcd to tnrcunet that ell danger of
any complications has passed
The king was very cheerful this morn
ing after four or five hours sleep and
his temperature was normal
NO DISQUIETING SYMPTOMS
The Lancet in Its comments today says
No Immediate septic abssrplon has taken
place as shown by the complete absence
of disquieting symptoms We hope that
rumor Is ceasing to be busy with the
origin and pathology of his majestys Ill-
ness since the very plain statement of
facts in the case which we were able to
publish June 3 and since the absolute
accuracy of the bulletins has been justi
Bed In view of the tings rapid recovery it
is small wonder that the group of mem-
bers of the r > w family whjeh gathered at
Victoria statioir this morning were happy
and cheerful The prince of Wales went
his cousin Prince
there to bid farewell to
Henry of Prussia nd to the Crown

GEORGE FREDERICK PRINCE OF WALES
Son of King Edward and His Successor to the Throne
Han and Moorish envoys The chief of
staff of the last named said to a reporter
I am smitten to death with sorrow for-
King Edward England is a great coun-
try but I am glad to be going back to
civilization
A week which has emotions of such
conflicting and intense character as to be
without parallel in the nation Imtory
is ending as it began ii rejoicing Eng
lishmen themselves can scarcely realize
that in the brief space of five days the
country has gone through the most acute
stages of jubilation fear doubt and hope
Now with todays bulletin they arc all
talking of the festivities many of which
wilt occur as planned
BRILLIANT FESTIVITIES PLANNED
The Crystal Palace July a will be the
scene of the brilliant hospital ball in
which so many Americans are taking part
On July 4 the India office will be trans-
formed with Oriental decorations plants
and flowers for tho reception rwheu jhcj
prinVe of Wales is expected to welcome the
visitors and Londons poor ate eagerly
looking forward to their free coronation
dinner
Among the disappointed stand owners
and other sections of the public there is
a strong desire to have a war parade with
Lord Kitchener as the central figure Such
an arrangement would doubtless attract
many thousands to London The metropolis
and the country arc quite ready to go
wild over Kitchener but he is likely to
endeavor to dodge any public shows I ail-
ing Kitchener the stand proprietors have
to rely on the kings first public reappear
ance which is likely to be a drive through
the streets to the National thanksgiving
service That however must be some-
time hence as a man in his sixtyfirst year
in spite of his wonderfully quick recovery
from the immediate results of the opera-
tion will probably have to submit to a
rather lengthy convalescence What at
first sight was one of the most pathetic
features of the postponement of the coro-
nation and among the serious financial
embarrassments on every hand was the
utter demoralization of the street fakirs
who had been counting for months past
on a rich harvest
Features of the Strand Fleet street and
the hotel entrances today were street ur-
chins mostly of tender years apparently
weeping over trays of cheap medals pins
and other outofdate and inappropriate
souvenirs Their general wailing pleas
were always aimed at well dressed per-
sons Only a penny stuck wif me me-
dals please buy something
These appeals frequently succeeded A
noticeable fact however was that these
tears and grief among the sharp street
arabs only seem to have developed today
The symptoms spread rapidly
Among scores of clever little plagiansU
in other walks of life the same keen dis-
appointment was visible
KING NOT EATING RECKLESSLY
Stories to the effect that the king is tak
ing freely a variety of foods are authorlta
lively pronounced ridiculous Hts majes
tys diet is of the lightest and simplest
kind and is given to him sparingly His
appetite continues good his pulse is
strong his temperature normal and his
mental attitude sanguine The glorious
weather is proving a powerful aid to the
surgeons in promoting the kings restora-
tion to health All depression has disap-
peared from the kiuab mlid in connection
with the downfall of the coronation plans
Queen Alexandra the prince of Wales and
his medical attendants have assured him
that disappointment is quite lost in deep
and universal rejoicing evoked by his
majestys steady improvement If tbe
kings symptoms maintain their auspicious
trend until early in the week medical ex-
perts generally agree that his majesty
will have taken a long stride on the road
to a most remarkable recovery They are
also of opinion that any movement to
hurry his majesty into an early resumption
of coronation preparations would be crimi-
nal folly

GETTING THE TRADE
Americans Havo Oulrjoneralod the Brit-
ish fjnd French
Special to The Post
Vitis June sS Reports just Issued by
the British consular agents in the south
of France especially from Bordeaux Tou-
louse and Bayonne warn English men
chants manufacturers and exporters that
their American rivali are rapidly posses-
sing themselves of the trade once monopo
llzcd by England These reports point
< > ut thattii trjde was shared evenly in
1896 whereas last year the Yankee trad-
ers tripled their business exporting to
Bordeaux alone seven times as much agri-
cultural machinery as the English
In this report tho British vice consul at
Bayonne says The English have got to
wake up or else lose a profitable market
for household utensils stoves and all kinds
of tech He advises English shippers to
attract customers by showing all goods
free on board in order better to compete
with thot Americans and Germans who
have special arrangements regarding wharf
age and lighterage with the railroad and
shipping1 companies He aUo advocates
a line of ships between Liyerpool and
Bayonne
British consular agents at other points
urge their people to devise new lines of
trade where there is no competition on
the part of America for instance cattle
food and fertilizers
The idea that the Americans would
seize certain big lines of trade in Southern
France has been laughted at for years
said an official of the American chamber
of commerce to the correspondent this
morning but while the nngllsh have been
laughing things have been really happen-
ing

General Charles H Jacobson of the Arkan-
sas State guard today demanded the resig-
nation of Harry H Myers nominee of the
regular republicans for governor as lieu-
tenant colonel and judge advocate general
of the State guard The demand was
based upon Myers speech acceping the
republican nomination for governor in
which he referred to Governor Jefferson
Davis the democratic nominee and com-
mander of the State guard as a human
wind mill and bombastic dictator Ad-
jutant General Jacobson informed Colonel
Myers that the department desired to re-
lieve him of any embarrassmciit in the

the State guard in tendering his resigna-
tion as demanded Colonel Myers sent a
caustic reply in which he in substance
sarcastically thanked the adjutant general

RATHBONES APPEAL
Wan Submitted to tho Senate
Senator Teller
Special to The Post
Washington Juno a8 The request fat
an investigation of the Cuban postal fraud
mentioned in these dispatches last night
came up in the senile today lit theshapn
of a petition from Rathhona himself which
petition was offered by Senator Teller rn
stead of Senitor Hanna as was expected
At Tellers own request the document was
referred to the committee on Cuban rela- <
tions Rnthbone bases his plea primarily
upnn the ground that when the United
States assigned a citizen to duty in a
foreign country and that citizen while in
the discharge of bis duty was unjustly ac-
cused and improperly tried and punished
it was the duty of this government to in-
vestigate He charged that he had been
tried by unusual methods that the pro-
ceedings were not regulai but special r
that they were influenced and dominated
by the person who procured them that
ex parte testimony was admitted against
him while on the other hand he was not
permitted to secure testimony in his be-
half and his attorneys were not given suf-
ficient time In which to prepare his case
that a person who was defendant was per-
mitted to testify not under oath and that
he was not given the right of appeal In-
asmuch as he had been liberated by ar
general amnesty provision he said his only
course to secure justice was to have his
case investigated by a committee of eoni
grcss
