LATER.

THE KING'S ILLNESS. The latest bulletins show that His Majesty's condition continues satisfactory, There are no disquicting symptoms, and his temperature is normal. It is believed now that the bulletins rather under-estimate His. Majesty's progress. He is able to read and converse, and sees the Queen-and-the-Prince and Princess of Wales frequently. The doctors merely insist that he shall not be worried. He displays the utmost pluck and a speedy recovery is predicted. Within a week the doctors will be able to definitely judge regard ing his convalescence. It is fully intended, if His Majesty's condition continues satis factory, to hold the Coronation in the early

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, May 30th. The King's birthday is to-day being 'officially' kept (in order apparently that there may be no inconvenient coincidence with Lord Mayor's Day) amid a deluge of rain which distinctly mars the spectacular effect of the " Trooping of the Colours."

The news of the King's illness came like a thunderclap to the general public.

Yesterday, however, was not without its excitements.
