HAPPINESS IN LONDON Feeling of Intense Anxiety Relieved by the Good News. MOST ENCOURAGING BULLETIN. NO FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT TO BE MADE BEFORE NIGHT. His Majesty's Condition Steadily Progressing Toward Recovery--If King Lives Dr. Treves Will Have Scored Great Triumph Conditions in the Royal Siok Chamber.

LONDON, June feeling of tremenGous relief is general this afternoon. "'The King is now out of danger," was the Arse official announcement regarding the King's condition to-day, and as a result of thie joyful intelligence the city from end to end is in transports of joy. The nature of all crowds is ordinarily optimistic, and when the official bulletin stating that immediate danger was past was posted at the Palace, immediately all croaking was hushed, and the watching crowd, to a man, became 1m- bued with the hope that his Majesty's 1m- provement would now continue without interruption. The official bulletin 1 issued at 10:30 this morning, read as follows: "The King has had a good night. His improved condition is maintained.

We are happy to be able to state that we consider his Majesty to be out of immediate danger. His general condition 1 is satisfactory. "The operation, however, still needs constant attention and as such concern as attaches to his Majesty's case is conneoted with the wound, under the most favorable conditions his Majesty's recovery must be protracted. "The 2 P. M.

bulletin will be discontinued. "(Signed) "LISTER, "TREVES, "BARLOW, "SMITH, "LAKING." To-day's bulletin was posted later than usual. The anxious crowd outside the gates, when they knew its contents, raised a slight murmuring cheer. Only the fear of disturbIng the royal patient prevented it from being a wild yell of joy. In faot, the statement "out of danger," reveals the crushing anxiety which has prevailed within the Palace during the past few daye.

The doctors, who did not expect to bring his Majesty through the first night, while reassured by the King's endurance and wonderful vitality, yet until today were unable to feel confident for more than half an hour ahead. But now the trouble has reached a point where there is no fear of any Instant collapse. While the King is not out of danger, tho complications to be feared will at least give warning of their approach. The cautious afterpart of the bulletin reveals where trouble may arise. This morning your correspondent had a talk with a gentleman who has been frequently admitted to the Palace si since the operation on the King was performed.

He said: Dr. Treves' Achievement. "The ruling King there now 1s Treves. Every 0 one is under his orders, which are cheerfully obeyed. Those who were hopeless the first three days, regard him as a veritable miracle worker.

If the King recovers Treves will be regarded as the greatest surgeon of the age. "Personally, he is the beau ideal of a doctor. He is clean-cut and immaculate, and always wears spotless white shirts, which he sometimes changes five or six times a day. Yet even in the most difficult operations he never seems to dirty anything. He never spills a drop of blood or allows anything to escape his bandages and absorbants.

"The King's room is decorated in green and white, and serves excellently as a sick chamber. Treves had everything removed except the absolute necessaries. The hangings and upholstered furniture and carpets were unceremoniously bundled out. "Dr. Treves is assisted by two nurses who have been with him for years.

They are attired in immaculate gowns of white and blue. They are the martinets who terminate the Queen's visits. After a few moments they enforce silence, even upon the King, who frequently shows a restless desire to talk. "I am told that only Treves' remarkable precision of touch and absolutely steady nerve made the complicated and prolonged operation possible. They expected to be of il much simpler character, than it proved to But Treves did not express an instant's surprise or hesitation.

He cut the tissues and inserted the tubes with a delicacy and precision which won the admiration of the other doctors, especially that of Lister, who WEATHER AND TIDES.

King Regains Hope. "After the second day the King, who had been prepared for the worst, regained hopefulness, which is the most important element In his progress. "The doctors think that the King, owing to his unexpected great constitutional strength, is now past the first stage. If he passes Monday without secondary complications, he will be nearly out of danger." A medical practitioner, writing to the Dally News to-day says: "The things now to be feared are peritonitis and gangrene of the bowels. I trust absolutely complete bulletins will be issued, for we must remember the case of President McKinley, in which the danger was minimized to the publio, and the most sanguine expectations based on the dicta of the medical attendants." Prince Henry of Prussia and the German and Portuguese special embassies have left for home.

The Prince of Wales bade them farewell. King Sitting UpP The Central News, at 4:30 this afternoon announced: "'The King has just been removed Into a sitting posture on a couch. He is decidedly better." It this statement of the Central News is true this marks an unusual and somewhat rash procedure in such cases. The Lancet's Comment. Lancet to-day says: "The bulletins are of excellent omen: and significance.

It 's of course far too 800n to speak with confidence as to the issue, but taking all facts Into consideration, We would summarize them by saying they justify the best hopes. No immediate septio absorption has occurred as 1s shown by the complete absence of disquieting symptoms." The St. James Gazette says his Majesty slept for four or five hours yesterday evening. The King's temperature this morning, the paper says, is normal, and his Majesty is very cheerful. King's Improvement Continues.

The Central News was informed from an official source at 2:30 this afternoon that the King's condition up to that hour had been maintained. Several members of the royal family were allowed to see him for a moment during the morning. The Press Association learns that the King may be transferred to-morrow from his bed to a couch, where he can recline. His Majusty has been able to pull himself into a sitting position with a trapeze, the Press Association says. When the King started to raise himself the Queen adjusted the pillows, and the royal patient exclaimed: "Ah, that's better." Colonial Troops to Be Reviewed.

It is officially announced that the Prince of Wales will review the Colonial troops at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning. The review will take place on horse guards parade. His Notion of Civilization. Sir Abderrahaman, Ben Addes Saddik, the Moorish envoy to the coronation, before leaving for home this morning said to a number of reporters: "I am smitten to earth with sorrow for King Edward. England is a great country, but I am glad to be going back to civilization again." CELEBRATED CORONATION.

Passengers on Lucania, Not Knowing of King's Illness, Made Merry. The Cunard line steamership Lucania, which arrived early this morning from Liverpool and Queenstown, held festivities on June 26 to celebrate the coronation of Edward not knowing of his illness. The passengers awoke on Thursday morning to And the steamer decorated with bunting and all the principal rooms showing a gala appearance. In the forenoon much merriment was made in all quarters of the sical instruments played popular airs. At noon the ship's crew were mustered on the forecastle head, the passengers joining them to witness the dring of a salute of twentyone guns, and all united in singing "God Bave the King." Games, races and athletic competitions filled up the afternoon entertainment, with a Anal tug-of-war between teams representing England and America.

America won. In the evening the usual concert was held. The next day, June 27. at 9 o'clock in the morning, the Lucania got in communication by wireless telegraphy with the French line steamer La Bavole, from New York for Havre, and learned of the King's illness. FRESH OUTBREAK OF SMALLPOX.

The machine took fire and sent 8 stream of burning naphtha along the street.

They tried to put out the fire, but failed. The Fire Department was notified and sent out a chemical engine to put out the blaze. The automobile was totally destroyed. DEFIES LINDENTHAL'S ORDER TO STOP WORK Contractor Ryan Will Proceed With the Building of Blackwell's Island Bridge. MANY CHANGES IN THE PLANS.

DESIRE TO MAKE IT SMALLER AND MORE ORNAMENTAL. Troubles Multiplying on the Shoulders of the Commissioner--Peculiarities of the New Condition of Affairs. The officers of the Department of Bridges are in such a state that, when all the faots are known, they will amount almost to a publio scandal. Under the cover of a silence that has been maintained for the last two months there have been transactions going on in the department which, to make it mild, do not reflect great credit on Commisstoner Gustav Lindenthal. All efforts to get at the true state of affairs from the officials of the department amount to nothing.

Commissioner Lindenthal refuses absolutely to answer any questions and he has made a hard and fast rule that nobody else in the department shall talk. The Commissioner, however, seems to forget that there are contractors who are not bound to silence by his edicts, and while they are willing enough to let the department go from bad to worse so long as it does not affect their interests, but they balk when it comes to being ordered to stop the work they are under contract to complete in a specifled time to cater to the whim of any engineer. Ryan Parker, contractors, who have the contract for that part of the Blackwell's Island Bridge now under construction, have been ordered by Commissioner Lindenthal to stop work. The firm has protested against this arbitrary action because it means a large loss to them. They have all their materials on hand ready to go ahead with the work and a big force of men who are engaged on this bridge.

Commissioner up to within a month been pushing this firm to complete its work by next August, but suddenly he orders them to suspend all operations. Investigation of the reasons leading to the order issued by Mr. Lindenthal has revealed a most amazing state of affairs in connection with the Blackwell's Island Bridge and the department in general. It was discovered this morning that the real reason why Mr. Lindenthal issued the order is that he is having extensive changes made in the plans for the Blackwell's Island Bridge and the contractors were working 80 rapidly that he could not get his amended plans in shape fast enough to keep pace with them, so he ordered the work stopped.

The changes that Mr. Lindenthal has made on No. 4 and those that he intends making on No. 3 will cost the city a great deal money over and above the estimated cost of the bridge, and at the same time the carrying capacity will be reduced almost fifty per cent. will be remembered that only a short time ago It was discovered that Mr.

Lindenthal intended to put wire link cables on Bridge No. 3 and it was also discovered that he was the inventor of that style of patented cable. It appears that there was misapprehension in the name. There are two kinds of cables of this general class, eyebars, which are steel bars with eyes in each end, and link bars, which are of wire rolled around a drum and stretched into oblong shape. The last is the one that Lindenthal is said to hold a patent on.

The eyebars that are in the new plans for the Manhattan Bridge are almost as untried as the 'link bars' of Commissioner Lindenthal. There are several small bridges which have the "eyebars," but they have never been tried on any structure as large as those now being built over the East River. They are an experiment on large bridges. In connection with the changed plans, there are many interesting things, but there is a singular history to these eyebars. It seems that a couple of years ago, before Mr.

Lindenthal was made a city official, he drew plans for a bridge across the St. Lawrence River, and in them Included the eyebar cables. The plans were submitted and promptly rejected, and now he has embodied the main features of that plan in a new plan of the Manhattan Bridge. These eyebar cables very big things, and take up about four times as mucn space as ordinary string cables. In the case of the Manhattan Bridge they require so much space that the carrying capacity will be sadly impaired.

Mr. Lindenthal 13 also planning to reduce the size of the Blackwell's Island Bridge. The two roadways, twenty feet wide, as originally planned, are now to be only one roadway twenty of the feet bridge, In under width. the new The Linden- entire thal plan, is reduced from 120 feet to 80 feet; this is five feet narrower than the present Brooklyn Bridge. This necessitates making the footwalks above the roadways, and while that does not reduce the carrying capacity of the bridge it means that people will have to climb a stairway 20 feet high to get to the roadway.

By reducing the road space from 40 feet to 24, the carrying capacity of that part of the bridge will be reduced by almost 50 per cent. The new plan will also interfere with the trolley traffic. While these changes will reduce the carrying capacity and hence the usefulness of the Blackwell's Island Bridge, they will mean an Increase in cost of construction, for which the taxpayers will get nothing but the experience. The reasons for the substitution of the experimental style of cables on the hattan Bridge do not appear clear, and the supposition is that the Commissioner hopes eventually to work his "link bar" cables in so that when he returns private life he can refer to the fact that they are used on the big city bridges as an argument in favor of having them taken up and adopted by other bridge builders. Another expensive change that LIndenthal proposes to make is the building of elevator towers on Blackwell's Island.

He wants to have eight elevators. These towers win cost, at a conservative estimate, $150,000 in addition to the cost of the proposed changes mentioned above. The Consulting Architect, whose appointment was announced in the Times yesterday, has made new plans for these towers. The architect, Mr. Hornoustle, has been at work off and on for the past two months, but Lindenthal kept it a dead secret until yesterday, when It happened to leak out.

Several changes have already been made in the plans the towers of No. 3 and in the plera of foo. 4, and there are is others 1 in contemplation. When the whole thing over, plans will cost the city about unless the Board of Estimate refuses $200,000, to allow the extra money, when application 1g made for bonds to meet the extra expenses. These are about all of the principal changes, but there are numerous smaller ones, and if the bridge is constructed according to the revised plans, it will be a very different seructure from the one that the people think they are going to get.

"Mum" 1g the word at the Bridge Department, and there is a general for cover whenever reporters happen around. Lindenthal, in lordly state, sits in his private office, which has been the hatchery of 90 many plans that people have lost all track of the number, but about changes of plans and small matters of that kind he does not condescend to let the public know anything. The entire staff of the department is demoralized. The methods of Lindenthal, It is claimed, have changed them from a body of enthusiastio and good workers to a band of men who work without heart, and do nothing more than they are compelled to. Mr.

Lindenthal seems to be under the impression that he is surrounded by plotters, who are working against him, in the interests of Tammany Hall, and he has humiliated almost every man in the department by changing his title. This is a matter, that does not involve any money, the men have more or less pride in the titles of their positions. Lindenthal has not even let the laboring force escape. Men who were formerly foremen in charge of such and such a work are now merely foremen of laborers. However, It has been claimed by a friend of the Commissioner that most of thie changing of titles he was ordered to do by the Municipal Civil Service Commission.

When the citizens of Queens Borough find out the full extent of the changes that Lindenthal has made in the Blackwell's Island Bridge plans, it is likely that they will take some concerted action in the matter. They have already been warned by this paper, but they seem not to realize the full scope of the proposed alterations. Why President Cassidy has not demanded a full explanation from the Bridge Commissioner 18 not clear to many of his constituents. Contractor Ryan Refuses to Obey Lindenthal's Order and Will Fight. Patrick Ryan, of Ryan Parker, Park row, Manhattan, who had the contract for the masonry work on the piers for the Blackwell's Island Bridge, said today that he intended to fight the order of Commissioner Lindenthal directing him to suspend work.

When asked what he would do, he will replied: go on working. I have answered the Commissioner's notice, stating that I would not stop work, and the matter la now up to him. I have thousands of dollars In the plers, and I Intend there. worth of stone on the ground peals, to put I cannot use it anywhere else without logIng a great deal of money. I have got five schooners working up there now and I am under penalty to them." Ryan was asked if he knew the nature and extent of the proposed changes.

He replied: "No, I only know in a general way, but I believe that one of the schemes is to erect two towers on the top of the bridge for ornamental purposes. As I understand it there is not to be as much stone used in the piers as was originally planned, and I am supposed to pay for the change." "What will you do if the Commissioner Insists on the suspension of work?" will fight," replied Mr. Ryan. "I have got the contract to do certain work, and I propose to do it. This suspension 1s costing me a lot of money and it will delay the building of the piers indefinitely.

work cannot be suspended without dolng a 8e- rious damage and the expense will be enormcus." The notice from Commissioner Lindenthal which was recelved on May 23, reads as follows: Owing to certain contemplated changes in the masonry plers of the Blackwell's Island Bridge, you are requested and hereby directed to suspend, until further notice, all operations on the two anchor piers and on all portions of the four main piers above the spring causes of arches. The suspension is made under the provialone of clause 7, of the contract, dated June "The spring causes," said Mr. Ryan, "are just where the arch turns. We have built the piers up to that point and have the stone on the ground, ready to go ahead with it, and we mean to go ahead with it." "Have you stopped work at all?" WAS asked. "No, I have not.

I have gone right ahead. If the Commissioner wants to make me stop, he will have to take me by the neck and throw me out. In reply to his order I notified him would not suspend operations and said that I did not think that Clause covered the point, because at the time when the contract was made I knew of no contemplated changes." Mr. Ryan added that he had not heard anything further since his reply was delivered, and he is waiting for Lindenthal to make lleved the next changes move. would Mr.

entail Ryan an said he addition- al expense in the buildling of the bridge, and he was certain that the arbitrary order of the Commissioner would result in a long delay and would throw many men out of employment.

MONUMENT ASSURED. Senate Passes the Fitzgerald Bill, With Minor Amendments. (Special to the Brooklyn Times.) WASHINGTON, June last, after eighteen years of effort of members of the Brooklyn delegation in Congress, the monument to the prison ship martyrs at Fort Greene is assured. The Senate passed the Fitzgerald bill, with some minor amendments, and to-day the House will agree to them. Felix Campbell, Peter Paul Mahoney, Darwin R.

James and a. score of others who have occupied seats in the House in the past worked industriously in the interest of the measure, but it remained for Mr. Fitzgerald to reap the harvest. The archives of Congress contain volumes of literature on the subject of the prison ship martyrs, and to members who have served many terms, the story is an old one. Mr.

Fitzgerald succeeded when no one thought it possible to do so, and he is naturally greatly elated over the prospect for the early legislative completion of the work, In which all Brooklyn has shown such deep interest. TO PRODUCE DISPROW TUESDAY MORNING The Young Man's Lawyer Has So Agreed With District Attorney Smith. WARRANT CHARGES MURDER. SMITH'S THEORY NOW IS THAT MEN FOUGHT IN BOAT. Foster, Being Knocked Overboard, Was Drowned -Miss Lawrence Killed to Hide Crime--New Evidence in Tragedy.

the Brooklyn Times.) NORTHPORT, I. June 28-Late this afternoon it was learned that Lawyer Rowland Miles, counsel for Louis Diabrow, has been in communication with District Attorney Smith, and has agreed to produce brow next Tuesday at Southampton on the arrival of the 11:30 train. Mr. Miles had stated as late as last evening that if a warrant was issued, he would produce Disbrow within a reasonable time, and that if the warrant wag sent to him he would personally serve it, and guarantee that Disbrow appeared. It is believed here Disbrow is in hiding in Connecticut, and that he went there directly from here.

GOOD GROUND, June told in the Times yesterday, Justice Foster issued a warrant for the arrest of Louts A. Dishrow, charging him with the murder of Miss Sarah Lawrence and Clarence F. Foster. The announcement that the warrant had been actually signed was not officially made until 6 P. M.

and after the Times had arrived, telling of the movements of the officials during the day. Up to this time District Attorney Smith, Justice Foster and Detective Field had guarded their actions with ag much secrecy as possible. The opinion generally expressed here this morning is that Lawyer Rowland Miles will not keep good his offer to produce Disbrow upon short notice, that a warrant charging him with homicide had been issued. Good Ground people the authorities will experience difficulty locating the young man who is charged with such a serious crime. The theory of the District Attorney now is that Disbrow, Foster and Miss Lawrence started out on the morning of the tragedy, all in one boat, not the leaky craft, as at first supposed, but another and a seaworthy one, and that a fight took place in the boat between Disbrow and Foster.

That Foster, stunned by a blow from Disbrow, fell into the bay and was drowned; that Miss Lawrence was thrown overboard to hide the crime. That after committing the crime, Disbrow returned to shore and that then, to ward off suspicion, he set adrift the frail, leaking, unseaworthy boat, with one oar and one oar-lock missing. Detective Field and the District Attorney claim to have proof that two boats belonging to Nelson Squires, went out on the bay that morning. The testimony of Warren Corwin, the proprietor of the hotel where "Dimp" Lawrence and her mother boarded, is that on the morning of June 10 he met Disbrow and asked him: "What have you done with Dimp? her mother is worried about her; she went out with you last night and has not returned." To this Disbrow replied: "I left her down at Ternell's with Clarence Foster." Then there 1s the telegram sent Mrs. Lawrence by Disbrow from Eastport, saying he would find Dump and Foster.

A handkerchief figures in the case. This was found in Disbrow's clothes in his room In Ternell's Hotel, and bears evidence of having been in the salt water. This handkerchief has been identifled by Clarence Foster's mother. Dr. Thomas Chattle is also regarded as an Important witness.

Dr. Chattle says he body of Clarence Foster soon after it was taken out of the water, and that there was a severe wound over the left eye. Dr. Benjamin, who assisted Coroner Nugent in the post mortem over the body of Clarence Foster, said this morning to A Times man, that it was easily possible for a man to receive a blow sufficient to stun him or even render him insensible, and yet leave no mark. At the time he made the post mortem, he says, only a fracture would have been observable.

It has been learned by a Times man that District Attorney Smith has two pictures which were found In Disbrow's room at Ternell's, one of which shows Miss Lawrence and Disbrow. The other picture, which was torn into bits was of a girl. When Mrs. Corwin and others at the Ocean View House saw this picture put together, they failed to identify it as being that of Miss Lawrence. The first picture 19 undoubtedly Miss Lawrence and Disbrow.

There 19 A belief District Attorney Smith is not showing his hand, and will not show it until forced to do so, and that he has more evidence than he is willing the publio should know at present. Detective Fields, when asked in the village Post Office what more evidence the offioials have now than was at hand last week said: "We have enough." In his attitude In the Foster-Lawrence drowning case at Good Ground, District Attorney Smith has experlenced an entiro change of front. Ten days ago the prosecuting officer was Inclined to discredit tho murder theory, and while doing utmost to solve the mystery it is known that he looked upon the death of "Dimp." Lawrence and Clarence Foster more as an accident. With the evidence presented to him last week he stated Times man that it was insufficient upon which to base A arrest of Disbrow. Since that time Detective Field has been diligently at work and District Attorney Smith seems now convinced that foul play has been done.

Yesterday the District Attorney explained his position by saying that the case has within the past few days materially changed. He did not take kindly to the attitude of Lawler Rowland Miles, who came to Good Ground, paid up the worthless checks to avoid any charge of forgery being lodged against his client, and then virtually challenged the District Attorney to issue a warrant. Lawyer Miles and District Attorney Smith are old-time political opponents, and just at present Lawyer Miles' name is coupled with the Democratic nomination this fall as against District Attorney Smith, who is down for a renomination on the Republican slate. It is but natural that each aspirant for office should be anxious to make a record out of the Good Ground mystery, and the outcome of the case may determine who is to be the next District Attorney of Suffolk, so great is public interest in the matter. Several reputable residents of Good Ground expressed the opinion to a Times this morning that politics had entered a man into the case, not in any way to influence the testimony, but because of the position of the rival candidates for District Attorney.

A. Chief of Ordnance Orders Fifty for Experimental Use. WASHINGTON. June Crozier, Chief of Ordnance of the Army, evidently believes that American soldiers have something to learn in warfare from the Filipinos. This belief he has put into practical shape by ordering the construction of fifty bolo bayonets for test.

It is the latest development of weapon for hand-to-hand fighting, and stands a very good show for adoption. The bayonet of the Civil War, comparatively long and glender, was found to lose its temper and buckle at the wrong moment. A few years ago it was therefore succeeded by the knife bayonet, shorter and heavier proportionately. Now Gen. Crozier would replace this by a two-eged knife or bolo, though the question whether the edges of this weapon shall or shall not be serrated is not yet decided.

JOHN SMITH OUT AT LAST. Telegraphs Cheering News to Roosevelt, Who Isn't Especially Interested. WASHINGTON, June Roosevelt is anxiously awaiting the appearance In Washington of John Smith. Who this John is he has not the remotest idea, but he feels sure that he will make his appearance at the Capitol in some horrifying role.

Secretary Cortelyou opened it and handed it to the President, who read It aloud: "I am out at last. (Signed.) "JOHN SMITH." The telegram was dated from a town In AT "For Arizona. goodness' sake!" exclaimed the President, "somebody put him right back."

Every village of three inhabitants or more seems bent on securing his presence for a day or two, and, what is more, the President is ready to say, "I'll be there if possible," to every invitation. As a result, Secretary Cortelyou, who is arranging the itineraries of the trips, la sweating blood. Every time a delegation of out-of-towners makes Its appearance he shudders, and is on pins and needles until the callers go. Every change in the schedule means an endless amount of extra labor over time-tables, most troublesome kind of callers," said the Secretary, "are those well-Intentioned gentlemen who demand that we take half a day or 80 off this or that town In order extend the time in their own.

They don't realize that every change of a minute means the entire disarrangement of the programme for the rest of the trip." MAC CORKLE A REPUBLICAN. Was Democratic Governor of West Virginia Once, but Prosperity Converted Him. PARKERSBURG, W. June Governor William A. MacCorkle, the last Governor of West Virginia elected by the Democrats.

Friday announced that he had changed his views, and hoped he would never see another Democratic administration. The present prosperity of West Virginia is the reason he gives for leaving the party. MacCorkle became unpopular in his own party when, as Governor, elected on a low tariff platform, he begged the Ways and Means Committee, which was framing the Wilson bill, to place a high tariff on coal.
