Big crowds outside the Palace expressed satisfaction with the better neivs.

Prayers for His Majesty’s recovery were followed by pulpit references in the churches, and tho National Anthem was sung in many cases.—Australian j*r C s 8 Association-United Service. MESSAGE FRDM GDVERHORGENERAL [Per Usited Press Association-.] WELLINGTON, November 26. His Excellency the Governor-Gcneral forwarded the following message to the Secretary ol State for tho dominion s affairs:—“ On behalf of the Government and people#of New Zealand, i, wish to express tho deep concern with which the news of tho King’s illness has been received, and the earnest hope that His Majesty's health will soon be restored. All. in this dominion anxiously await further news, and desire me to convey their loyal sympathy.” HD CHANGE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 25. (Received November 26, at 12.50 p.m.) Tho physicians decided not to issue a morning bulletin, partly because there is no important change in His Majesty’s condition and partly because there were no evening papers. The Queen, Princess Mary, and tho Duchess of York attended morning service in tho palace. Tho Queen and Princess Mary in the afternoon briefly visited Princess Beatrice and the Dowager Marchioness of Milford, Haven, at Kensington Palace. It is stated authoritatively to-night that the King’s doctors were prepared for an increase of fever, which need not bo regarded as a bad sign. Both tho congestion and pleurisy show a decline, and an increase of fever is merely a normal fluctuation in such cases. To-day a message was cabled telling the Prince of Wales that lie need not change his plans.—Australian Press Association. 5
