King Edward is auf- fering from perityphlitis aud is under- going a surgical operation. Perityphlitis is the name given to the inflammation of the connective tissue abont the caccum, which is the blind part of the large iutestise beyond the entrance of the small intestine. Peri- typhlitis is very much skin to appendi- citie. It is usually brought ou by a disturbed state of the appendix or by ulceration of the bowel. THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. London, June 24, 12.46 p.m.--BSir Francis Knollys, the King's private sec- retary, has issned the official medi announcement : "Tho King is enffering condition." CONSTERNATION EVERYWHERE.

He seemed to those abont him to have no fear of the suffering he was about to under- go. The main idea of bis mind was in- finite, inexpressible regret for what he knew would prove a bitter disappoint- ment to the people. Indeed, hie first words when told that a serious opera- tion was obligatory are said to have been :-- "Operation or no operation, I won't disappoint the people, I must go to the Abbey." Not long after the operation the Prince of Wales saw his father, whom he fonnd stronger than he expected. The King then told him that he felt actually more comfortable than before the operation, The papers join in paying a tribute to the heroic fortitude of the Queen. She spent the whole afternoon and evening atthe bedside of the King, and surpassed herself in calm courage. The Daily Mail says that never has calamity failen so terrible in the hour" of rejoicing. Itis hard that the blow should have fallen in this manner, and that the inscrutable hand of Provi- dence should thus have smitten the race. MAKING SATISPACIORY PROGRESS.
