King Edward Progressing Satisfac
torily Toward Complete
Convalesence.
THE QUEEN TAKES FIRST RECREATION.
Reception to the Kant Indian Princes By
the Prince of Wales One of the Most
Brilliant Ever Held in London—Queen
Alexandra and Members of the Royal
Family as Spectators.
London, July 4.—The following- bul
letin was posted at Buckingham pal
ace at 7 p. m.: “The king has had
a quiet day. His constitutional condi
tion is satisfactory and the wound
shows more active signs of repair.”
The progress of King Edward con
tinues satisfactory. Beginning July
6 only one bulletin a day concerning
his majesty’s condition will be issued.
This will be posted at nine o’clock in
the morning, and the arrangement
wll be continued until his majesty is
entirely convalescent.
The fact, that Queen Alexandra, in
company with the duchess of Aosta,
Prince Waldemar of Denmark, and
Prince George of Greece, drove out
this afternoon, is taken as a sign of
the king’s satisfactory condition.
This was the first recreation of this
kind the queen has indulged in since
his majesty was taken ill.
The king is allowed to read a good
deal now, and he enjoys looking at
the newspapers. He expressed amuse
ment lately at some of the sensation
al and detailed reports of the opera
tion in the press.
Reception to Iiiflinn Princes.
London, July 4.—The prince of
Wales, in behalf of King Edward, re
ceived the Indian princes in London
at the Indian office to-night.
The entertainment was one of the
most brilliant ever witnessed in Lon
don. Queen Alexandra and the royal
family were present and occupied a
private box overlooking the main
hall. The guests of the evening in
cluded all the royal representatives
to the coronation of the king who are
still in London, as well as the great
er number of the English nobility and
the notable personages of London.
The decorations of the building were
magnificent, and cost, including the
furniture and hangings, not far from
£ 50,000.
The flowers alone cost £ 3,000. The
great reception hall was transformed
by palms, ferns and orchids into a
semblance of an Indian garden. A
feature of the decorations was an
immense ceiling cover, painted to rep
resent the Indian firmament, in which
the stars and constellations were ac
curately depicted. Electric lights,
behind the cover, were utilized to
make each star scintillate in a realis
tic manner. Three thousand incan
descent electric lights were employed
in the illumination of the building.
The rooms were cooled by mountains
of ice clothed with masses of rare
plants and flowers.
Three thousand guests were invited
to attend the reception. All the gen
tlemen wore uniforms or court dress
and the ladies were clad in most
elaborate and bejeweled costumes,
but they were all outdazzled by the
gorgeous attire and the profusion of
jewels worn by the Indian princes.
Such a picturesque spectacle had
never been witnessed in London since
the visit of the sultan of Turkey, 30
years ago. So many people who ap
plied for invitations were disappoint
ed that the India office has decided
to illuminate the rooms for their ben
efit to-morrow night.
The prince and princess of Wales
arrived at 11 o’clock and were re
ceived by a guard of honor from the
Indian contingent. The procession
formed at the foreign office. It was
headed by members of the Indian
council, and marched through the
corridors, which were lined with In
dian troops, to the India office. While
the princess of Wales remained on
the balcony, the prince traversed the
length of the hall to the dais, where
all the Indian potentates were as
sembled. There, under a crimson
canopy bearing the royal arms and
supported by four dusky Indians
clothed in white, the prince of Wales
received the presentation of swords
to the king's representative by the
Indian officers. This ceremony was
followed by a supper, music and so
cial intercourse between those pres
ent. The' reception lasted until a
very late hour.

Movement of Empty Freight Cars
and Unusual Activity Taken
as Indications.
OPERATORS SAY THEY HAVE THE MEN.
Tlie Pardeea Expected to Maas Men
at tlie Harwood Colliery In the
Hazleton District—In the W y o -

Coni Co. Will Make the Trial.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 6.—The move
ment of empty coal cars along- the
railroads, and the unusual activity
about several of the collieries in the
region, indicate to the strikers that
an effort is to be made in a few days
to start work at some of the col
lieries. The operators assert that
they have sufficient men under en
gagement, both returned strikers and
imported men, to mun several of the
collieries. While they will not admit
that work may be resumed next
week, there is a general belief that
the effort will be made. In the Ha
zleton region the Pardees are expect
ed to mass men at the Harwood col
liery which, being on the outskirts of
the region, is in less danger of attack
than a mine in the heart of £he dis
trict, and the coal can be shipped
from it without being sent past any
mining village. A number of miners
are said to have applied for work in
response to the notice of the com
pany that it was to receive applica
tions.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
He Meet* m “Strennoo* Crowd” »l
Lancaster—Shake* Hand* With
Workingmen in Philadelphia.
Lancaster, Pa., July 6.—Awaiting
the train here was a large crowd, who
set up a hearty cheer as the presi
dent appeared on the car platform,
in response to their calls for “Ted
dy.” He acknowledged the greeting,
and remarked that he would not
make a speech because, he said, all
he had to say he said Friday. He
then went inside the car, but the
cheering was kept up, and he was
forced to come out again and speak
briefly, as follows:
“I was glad to be the guest of
Pennsylvania on the Fourth of July.
From all I can see here you seem to
be doing very well. I have stayed
here longer than I expected, but I
want to say that I had the pleasure
of being here once before. I am glad
to be greeted by you to-day as I
come through, and I know that you
will be glad that I am going back to
my own family for a holiday.”
While the president was speaking
the train suddenly started, but it was
immediately stopped, and he finished
what he had to say.
Express Agent Killian handed the
president a bunch of water lilies,
with a note, saying that if he had
known sooner that the president was
coming he would have sent the whole
pond.
The enthusiasm over the presi
dent’s appearance was very great,
and only died out as the train was
lost from view.

MAP OF THE ROUTE OF THE PROPOSED PANAMA CANAL.
In the Wyoming1 region all indica
tions point to a resumption of work
at the Xanticoke No. 5 colliery of the
Susquehanna Coal Co. This mine is
situated at the edge of the Wyoming
basin, and its output goes over the
Pennsylvania railroad.
It is also stated that from the
Wyoming division mines of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western Co.,
one colliery will be selected at which
work is to be started. The officials
say enough miners of the division
have asked for work to man a col
liery. Some empty coal oars have
been placed on sidings near a couple
of these collieries, and there is u
bustle about the workings, which in
d'4*ttes that some move is about to
be made!
The Delaware & Hudson and the
Lehigh Valley companies are also
busy with the preparations, which
make it appear as if at a time under
stood by the operators each company
will try to break the strike.
The officials of the union, cognizant
of what is being done, are busy.
Pickets are watching the mines, and
all moves are reported to headquar
ters; and if any effort is made to
gather men, the strikers will endeav
or by large picket committees to see
them before they go to work and
dissuade them. In the Hazleton re
gion they turned many back Satur
day morning, an especially strong
picket line being established about
the Drifton colliery of the Coxe Bros.
& Co.; where the building of a .trong
barbed-wire stockade, backed with
barricades, lends color to the belief
that an effort is to be made there to
resume work.

Pennsylvania road from Pittsburg', en
route to Oyster Bay, at 12:17. prompt
ly on schedule time. His special car,
the Olympia, was surrounded by rail
road employes, with whom the presi
dent shook hands. To a friend the
president said:
“I see by the papers that my boy
shot a firecracker in a glass bottle
and cut his head. I suppose that is
to be expected in the family.”
The president’s car was detach ?d
from the train and taken to West
Philadelphia to the turn table, where
the president again shook hands with
a number of employes. The car was
brought back to the station, and dur
ing the few minutes’ interval before
starting, the president walked up and
down the platform. The train left
at 12:46, on its way to Oyster Bay.
Reception Spoiled at Oyster Ray.
Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 6.—Uncer
tainty as to the time of President
Roosevelt’s arrival here spoiled the
plan to give him a formal reception
on his return home. A national sa
lute will be fired on his arrival, but
there will be no public demonstration
or formal reception.
SALISBURY T0 RETIRE.
It Is Not Likely to Come Until \fter

London, July 6.—At the earliest
possible moment Lord Salisbury con
templates retiring from public life.
But that severance from the affairs
of the empire, which h * has so long
administered, is not likely to come
until after the coronation, and it way
possible be still further delayed by
now unseen reasons of state or poli
tics. Peace in South Africa Laving
been procured, Lord Salisbury is said
to consider the crowning of the king
at the moment when his services to
the nation may most fitly be ended.

Pianos and Organs to Have.
WHENEVER you go into a home, a studio, or
at a musicale and see a Kimball you know
at once that one of the best products of the
Piano and Organ makers’ art is in service.
If you have one you know that none wear
better, look better or give as much satisfaction, even
though a greater price is charged for others.
And if a piano of equal standing and quality
be bought one has to pay more for it than would be
paid for a Kimball, as the Kimball is not only a
triumph of art, but a triumph of economy as well.
The making and selling annually of more than
35,000 instruments in ono factory, under one system
and expense is beyond all competition, as to equal
it, it requires the combined output of many separate
factories, under as many separate and distinct sys
tems and expenses.
For everv occasion the Kimball Piano is the
choice of great international artists, and is the de
light of more than 300,000 homes, and if you want
a Piano or Organ it will, after the fullest exami
nation and comparison, be your choice as well.
Write to us for catalogues, prices and terms,
w? sell good new pianos from £178 upwards and
guarantee satisfaction.
