This showed, that although His Majesty was suffering from the for- mation of an abscess in the chest, which was the seat of his grave ill- ness last winter, his general condi- tion was good. There was seeming- ly no cause for immediate alarm. Another reassuring statement by the doctors was that, while the King must keep to his bed, his con- dition was not such as to preclude his transacting such public busi- ness as it might be necessary to bring to his attention. Although it was not explicitly stated in the bulletin, there has ap- parently been a minor vperation on His Majesty, This was indicated' by the statement that drainage was in progress. from the abscess. Lord Dawson of Penn, His Maj- esty's court physician, was recalled from a continental 'holiday to the king's bedside. Sir Stanley Hew- ett has been in constant attendance on the King here at Windsor Cas- tle, while Dr. Martin, the third phy sician is the doctor of the. Royal Family at Windsor. The three physicians had. a lengthy consultation this morning. LABOR SUCCESS MIGHT BE HARMFUL T0 CANADA'S TRADE British Preference May Be Lost If Laborites Form Government Ottawa, May 30.--Leaders and members of parliament are differ- ment on the British elections, but privately, there is a general ex- press of personal sympathy with Premier Baldwin in the indicated defeat of his government. On "his visit to Canada he made many friends and became very popular. The probable advent of a Labor government is not expected to have any imperial constitutional effect, but might have serious economic consequences 'for Can- ada. Preferences for the domin- ions under the safeguarding of in- dustriés act and otherwise, will be jeopardized, if not lost in the change of government.

At a quarter past five this afternoon the combined opposition had se- cured well over half of the total seats in the new House of Com- mons. But it was equally could not secure a majority, though well in the lead. The story is told by ures: clr Labor al- these fige Conservatives Liberals Nationalists Prohibitions Ind.-Cons. . "Tnd.-Consfit, Independent In doubt ,.... Lloyd George with his 46 Lib erals is master of the situation. His losses and gains have been equalized and hig party is intact. At 'this tabulation Conservative net losses were 113 and Labor net gains 105, the account being bal- anced by eight net Liberal gains. Ridings yet to report will mean some readjustment to these figures, but not material, for the situation is at last definitely defined. The ballot box has said its say and so6n it will be time for the statesmen to talk. The hour is intensely dra- matic. But on the other hand it is com- mon knowledge Labor leaders be- lieve if they are czlled upon to form a government the more advanced Liberals will swing to their side, thus definitely breaking up the historic Liberal party. This assumes Labor will not only have the largest group in the house---which appears certain be so close to a clear majority that the accession of a few Radicals from the Liberal fold will complete it. That is as- suming a good deal. And it leaves that most astute political leader, Lloyd George, quite out of the pic~ ture.
