The King.
Ex-King Prempeh and other Ashantes chiefs have sent a message of sympathy to the King in his illness and expressing a hoj)e that he will live and be their good King. The King has stood and walked a few paces at intervals with the help of a stick. PREPARATIONS FOR THE CORONATION. King Edward will leave Cowes on the Bth August f r the Coronation, and will return on the 11th. He will remain on board the Royal yacht till the fleet disperses on the 18th, when eighty warships, on leaving the anchorage, will steam past and salute. Afterwards his Majesty will go on an extended cruise round Scotland.
The King will possibly sleep at the Deanery of Westminster on the night of the Bth, and join the Coronation procession at the choir screen in tho Abbey, avoiding walking along the mave. Everything will depend upon his Majesty’s health and strength. The King, unassisted, slowly paced the deck of his yacht. His Majesty looks well, albeit a trifle pale.
