LONDON', Jan. 18. (Now York World

opening of Parliament by King Kdward Is
Already losing something of Its charm for
Ixjndoncrs, seemingly, and still moro for

iirotty ceremonial. Window scats, from
which to view tho street pageant, wcro
obtainable at about ono-thlrd of last year's
prices and the crowd was not comparablo
with that which annually turns out to wit
ness tho lord mayor's tnwdry procession.
Tho House of Iords was by no means
nuoa. incro were at least luu Places
vacant on tho rod bonches, which lat year
"wero Inconveniently crowded.
Still, as Viewed from tho press gallory,
Yrhon tho king and tho queen woro seated
on tholr thrones, with tho royal family
nnd tho court olhclals grouped nround, all
In uniforms Dialing with decorations and
Kumpiuous wmi goiu loco, rca roDes,
Jeweled coronets nnd nodding plumes, tho
iiceno In tho House of Lords was ono of
ImprcBslvo splendor.
Tho king throw himself Into tho ccro
moulal with his accustomed histrionic
powers. The queen was bowltchlngty
protty, but tho prince of Wales seemed
thoroughly bored.
Tho king nrrlvcd nearly half an hour Into.
As ho makes a feuU.ro of tho strictest
punctuality, this occasioned surprise. It
Booms that tho queen caused tho delay and
When they reached tho House of Lords she

Tho undignified scrlmmago of last year,
resulting Jn eorlous Injuries to two lexis-
latorn, which atteaded' .the d progress ot I
HpeaKor uuuy ana tne memoers ot mo
IIouso ot Commons to tho bar of the House
of Lords 'to hear tho king's speoch, was
obviated this tlmo by setting apart two
Raiierien lur iuu cuuiiuuiiura, wiino a lurgu i
body ot pollco was provided to prevent a
recurrence of disorder,
Tho members ot tho Irish party, who
hovor partlclpato in these functions, were
holding their caucus in n committee room
whllo tholr British colleagues woro re
eponding to tho klng'u summons to the
IIouso of Lords. Tho Irlshmon now meet
to elect a chairman and other officers In
Dublin, instead ot in uonnon, anu an rival
ries and anlmosltlctt arc being forgotten.
John Redmond Is universally recognized as
tho best leador tho party could provide.
The session of Parliament oponed tamely
enough. Tho liberal opposition had been
laboriously striving to attain a ground ot
Hgrcemcnt which might enablo thom to pre
sent a united front to the government on
tho question ot war.
Mlnlnterlul Majority Unnffected.
This was achieved by compromising on an
nmendment, vague In terms and Incon
clusive In effect, which, like Lord Rosebery's
famous Chesterfield spocch, merely hints at
policy without making any positive
declaration. Thero Is not the slightest
prospect that It will detach a slnglo mem
ber from tho ministerial majority of 130,
Vhllo the Irish party, regarding It as a
rnoro mockery ot Door rights, will decline
to vote on It.
There is a possibility of a rather awk
wnrd scandal In Westminster because
Arthur llalfour wants to push his private
ecretary, a German named Sanders, who
U unknown to tho public, Into tho position

of Commons, That Is one of tho most
dignified posts In tho British civil service

LONDON, Jan. 18. (New York World Ca-
triagram Special Telegram.) An amusing
atory Is going tho rounds, Illustrating the
extent to which tho king Is Influenced by
Blr Ernest Cassol. Lord Cromor, the Brit
ItU agent in Egypt, visited the King re
cently to bo congratulated on bis second
marriage. The king offered the usual fe
licitations, retorrod flattorloRly to Cromer's
services In Egypt, and wound up with this
remark: "Sir Ernest CaBsel has formed a
high oplalon of your work." In his anger
Cromer told tho story freely, being furious
that his reputation with tho king should
depend on the opinion ot Cassel, .who was
scarcely recognized at the residence In
Cairo.
Literature, a periodical which was os-
tabtlshed six years ago by the owners of
tho Times as a rival to the Athenaeum, has
ceased to appear. Ineffectual attempts
were made to soil It as a going concern
nd Its accumulated unpublished book
notices are to bo worked oft Id the form of
literary supplements to tho Times. It Is
a, singular fact that every attempt by tho
proprietors of the Times to establish
subsidiary publication has ended In failure.
although the prestige of tho Journal might
eeta u be an invaluable asset.

following observations: "Wo lmvo never

(Copyright, 1002, by Press PublNhlnK Co.)
DUBLIN, Jan. 18. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) dalway City
has been placed In an anomalous position
by electing Colonel Arthur Lynch, lately
of tho Boer army, as Us parliamentary rep
resentative. Ho Is not likely to bo seen nt
Westminster, becauso ho undoubtedly would
be arrested, tried for treason and felony
and get a long term In prison. Ho cannot
resign, becauso resignation Is not permitted
In the cobo of a member against whom a
warrant has been Issued.
If after tho lapso of a reasonable tlmo
Lynch falls to surrender, It will bo In tho
power of tho government to move that ho
bo expelled from the House of Commons,
at the sumo tlmo probably punishing dal
wny by disfranchisement.
Thero was a clear understanding with
the Irish party when Lynch was nominated
that It ho should bo elected ho would take
hlo sent, but apparently ho will not fulfill
his part ot tho contract.

PARIS, Jan. 18. Colonel Arthur Lynch,
tho recently elected member of tho House
ot Commons for Galway City, who Is said
to havo fought on tho sldo of tho Boors
In South Africa, In an lntervlow today de
led that ho had tried to go to England
tor the opening ot Parliament.
Colonel Lynch said ho had not left Paris,
for tho good reason that ho appreciated tho
fact that ho would not bo allowed to reach
his goal, tho Houso of Commons. Ho had
somo tlmo ago contemplated going to the
opening ot Parliament, but, said he, Jok
ingly, "I did not think then that a nation
that considers itself ono ot sportsmen
would bo so unsportsmanlike as to seek to
reach mo In cold blood when It might havo
ad mo In warm blood In the Transvaal."
Governed by Ilia Pnrty.
Colonel Lynch added . that his future
movement's would bo governed by tho coun
sels of the Irish party, In which ho has
every confidence, and by Uio wishes of bis
constituents. He declared that the stories
published In the English papers of his re-
cnt Visit to Dr.' Leyds at Brussels, with
whom ho was alleged to have business con
nections, wore Inventions. Ho said he bad
only passed through Brussols a year ago
nd has no business relations with Dr,
Leyds ot any kind, though they aro on
friendly terms.

Their leader, a woman, Is worshiped as

Quarrels and scandals are frequent.

Nothing Is handed to the sovarelgn by a
servant. That office la porformed by the
host or hostess. As a rule, the king only
shares his dinner with his host nnd hostess,

many. They have issued a report stating
that on incontestable authority thousands
of girls leave European porta to bo tho
slaves ot ruffians who havo enticed them
away from homo. In Germany alono thero
Is said to bo a gang of nearly 100 persons
engaged in this traffic. They aro portect in
tho art of making up disguises. Tho old
schoolmaster In search of female assistants
for a German school Is the commonest ruse.
Somo pretend to bo hotel keepers looking
for pretty barmaids, or wine merchants
who want saleswomen, or advertising agents
who wont girls to bo typewriters, and so on
Galllcla and western Russia are their
favorite, hunting grounds. They do not
hesitate to go through tho ceremony ot
marriage. Ono man, recently arrested in
Hamburg, has six wives living, of whoso
whereabouts at present ho has no know!
edge. Ho thinks they may bo somowhero
in South America.
That country Is not tho only country to
which these white slaves are sent. India

of tho United States legation In Turkoy,

Thoso two men left Constantinople De

unremitting In their efforts to reach an
understanding with tho bandits. Tho
brigands waived their original demand that
tho ransom should be paid on Bulgarian
soil nnd will uccept it in Macedonia, which
Is TurklBh territory. This Is supposed to
rcllovo the government ot Bulgaria from
liability for Indemnity covering tho ransom
paid and perhaps heavy damages besides,
actual and punitive.
In order to avoid such liability tho Bul
garian government has aided tho American
plans to sccuro tho captives' rclcaso by
directing tho Bulgarian customs olllclals on
tho Turkish frontier to allow tho agents
ot tho Americans, cither thoso carrying on
negotiations or thoso bearing the coin for

views In which tho leaders and scholars
of tho church have gradually come to bo
llevo, but which ore not hold by the body ot
tho church. He says that most of tho pres
ont teaching Is ovaslvo and that most of,tbo
Sunday school teaching Is almost farcical
and entirely inadequate.
