GREAT PROGRAM ABANDONED.

Liat of Coronation Events Which Had Been Planned. The list of coronation events which had been planned beginning Tuesday, June 24, and extending until Saturday, July 5, preparations for which had been completed cost of several million dollars, are all included in the general postponement. The loss to individuals and insurance companies will reach an enormous figure, variously estimated at from $75,000,000 to twice that figure. First on the program was to have been the reception of the King and Queen to the special foreign envoys and deputations to the coronation with a state dinner at Buckingham Palace. This was the event scheduled for Tuesday, the opening day of the great festival. Wednesday there was to have been held the reception of the colonial premiers and other envoys. The Prince of Wales was to have given a dinner party at St. James Palace to the princes and envoys. Thursday- was to have come the coronation at Westminster Abbey, the cli‘niatic event of the week. The program for Friday, June 28. included the procession through London, which was to have been a military pageant two mill's long, containing troops from all the dominions of the kingdom, ami in the evening a raception at Laii-W>wne House, which was to have been attended by the King and Queen.

Bankruptcies for Speculators and No Business for Tradesmen. The loss entailed to Ixnidon in innumerable directions bv the abandonment of the coronation festivities has been roughly estimated at SS(t.<XX).tXH). Hundreds Of bankruptcies owing to seat, food, tini-

ber and decoration speculations arc expected. It is also an extremely serious question for several big insurance companies who hold heavy policies on the King's life. These policies are said to aggregate $20,000,(MM). Then the London season, only just begun in earnest, vas killed at once. The town will be deserted as spon as isissible, and the tradesmen who hoped to recoup the losses of the two last bad seasons, are doomed to disappointment. Finally, the individuals who. were to be knighted or ennobled on coronation day have seen these distinctions snatched from their hands. The loss td those who erected stands will run into millions. It is estimated that seats were built to accommodate 590,000 people, to say nothing of the conversion of shops into temporary theaters of decorations, which involved enormous outlay. Vast numbers of people have traveled from far ami near to witness the fetes and the disaster is the most stupendous of the kind that has ever taken place. Jt leaves numerous churches nnd hospitals that have constructed stands in grave financial difficulties. NATURE OF THE OPERATION. Prominent Chicago Doctor Describes How the Surgeon Works. Operations such as King Edward underwent were described by a Chicago surgeon as follows: The patient is prepared for the ordeal by a thorough scrubbing of the body. After being plneed on the operating table the- patient is again ■crublted. the spot directly over the appendix being espeHnlly scoured with antiseptic soap. After an anaesthetic is given to the patient the surgeon makes an incision on the right side of the Isnly between the umbilicus nnd Poupart's ligament. Usually the incision is about one nnd a half inches, through the fascia, external and internal oblique muscles. Then the peritoneum is picked up on encl, side with artery forceps and an incision made through this tissue so ns not to Injure the lute«tinese. Then the fingers are inserted and the appendix drawn up titrough the wound and held in position by retractors. If found necessary to take the appendix out amputation towels are used to keep the appendix warm. After amputation of the appendix the mucous membranes are drawn together and sutures pnt in. A drainage tube is frequently necessary. Then the wound is dressed.
