Sensational reports eontiue. from Bucharest regarding the death agony of King Ferdinand. It is declared that hope of saving his life was abandoned on Sunday. His body is wasted to a skeleton and does not weigh . more than 80 pounds. His heart is steadily weakening and his death is believed ■to be a question of a day, though the doctors say that he may linger for a month.
Meantime the wildest rumours are circulating about Prince Carol’s movements. One of these is to the effect that a number of Roumanian fin anciers and speculators are "waiting ■with an aeroplane to rush him to Bucharest at the moment of King Ferdinand’s death.
