LONDON", Feb. H. The opening of the
first Parliament of the new reign witnessed
tho usual competition on tho part of tho
members of the House of Commons to ho
cure Beats. Oesplto the Arctic weulher,
the members stnlo up to the doorH ot l'ar
llameut Houso shortly after midnight, J. It,
Johnstone, conservative member for tho
northwest, or Shorvhum division of Sussex,
having tho plaro of honor at the head ot
tho queue.
At daybreak a scorn of members had as
sembled, and after that tho arrivals wore
In rapid succession. At 10:30 a detachment
of Yeomen of the Guard from thp Tower,
In their quaint new uniforms and carrying
halberds, arrived and conducted tho cus
tomary search of the vnulta for Imaginary
conspirators, with the usual result. Shortly
afterward troops marched up and lined the
cntlro route. Traffic was stopped nnd tho
crowds wero driven behind the lines ot
soldiers nnd police.
Tho first Parliament of the reign of King
Edward VII wns opened this afternoon by
tho king In person. Ills majesty was ac
companied by Queen Alexandra, tho duko
of York and Cornwall, an,d the duko of
connaught and many others of tho royal
family.
First In Forty Years.
Tho last state ceremony of the kind oc
curred In 1SC1, when Queen Victoria opened
Parliament, accompanied by tho prince con
sort, and slnco tho death ot tho latter noth
ing equal to the display of today has been
witnessed In London. Not slnco tho wed
ding of the then prince of Wales and Prin
cess Alexandra has the gorgeous stato
coach used today been seen In tho streets
of tho capital.
In this coach todny the king and queen
and Princess Victoria rode from Ilucklng
bam palace to tho palace of Westminster.
The route of tho roynl party, which lay
through tho Mall, tho Horse Guards Parade,
Chemlte hall and Parliament street, was
guarded by 5,000 Holdters. Thousands of
Londoners packed St. James' park, bor
dered the route of tho procession and filled
windows, stands and roofs. The cortege
was short but spectacular. Tho royal
coach, drawn by eight famous cream-colored
Hanoverians, with postilions In red
and gold liveries and footmen, leading tho
horses, which wero covered with trnpplngs
ot morocco and gilt, was preceded and .fol
lowed by Life Guards In full uniform, with
silver breast plates and red-plumed hol-
mets, and. a small cscorti of. gcntlomen-nt-
arms, In heraldic costumes, Immediately
surrounded tho vehicle
Flvo carriages -of state( containing uni
formed officials and ladles ot the household,
each drawn by six horses, with postilions,
led the procession. Next camo the state
charlotr tho occupants of which could be
plainly, seon through tho'Tlato glass win
dows. The king was Mn full uniform,
salutlngnconstantly, tho queen bowing on
all sides.
Forms llrllllnnt Pictnre,
The procession speedily tra.vorsed the
short route to an jiccoinuanlinenL. ,ot roars
and shouts, and reached" the royal entrance
to the palace of Weslnstor boneath the
Victoria tower, nt the appointed time.
There the great officers of state and the
others who wero to take part In the cere
mony had assembled, in order to rccelvo
their majesties. Upon tho king and queen
alighting from the stato carrlago the pro
cession was quickly formed and proceeded
to, tho robing room.
Ily 1 oclock the scone in the old palace
yard was ono of great animation, owing to
the constant arrival of carriages containing
royal personages and other distinguished
people. Many of the nobility used their
stato coaches. The members ot the Houso
of Commons In the meantime streamed Into
their house.
The rich uniforms of the diplomatic corps,
tho robes of tho officers of stato and tho
military and naval uniforms formed a
brilliant medley, which gradually disap
peared through tho entrance ot the
retpectlvo houses.
The king nnd tho robed procession ad
vanced to tho House of Lords, As soon as
his majesty was enthroned, tho lord great
chamberlain received tho royal command
to summon tho members of the Houso ot
Commons to hear the speech from tho
throne.
Dlaclc Rod (General Sir Michael Dlddul)
reached the House ot Commons at 2:20 p,
m., and tho members, headed' by tho
speaker (Mr. William Court-Gully), pro
ceeded to tho House of '..ords.
Outsldo tho robing room, In the royal gal
lery, which leods to tho Houso of Lords,
were 500 persons, chiefly women, who had
been waiting patiently for hoars. Among
them wero many peers and commoners who
were unable to get places within tho cham
ber.
After somo delay the robing room doors
swung .open nnd the procession, already
formed, moved slowly ahead through tho
dingy gallery. No funeral could have been
quieter. Tho aristocratic spectators were
perfectly still,
Slowly the heralds marched toward the
upper chamber. Tho sight of nil usher,
walking backward, heralded the approach
of tho king. The duRo of Devonshire, pres
ldent of the council, Immediately preceded
him, currying In his arms the cushion on
which rested the crown, Lord London
derry. with equal dignity, clasped tho
swprd of state. Tho king wns half down
the gallery beforo tlie women remembered
to curtesy nnd then black skirls rustled
ceaselessly and noble heads wero bowed
KIiik mill Uneen Look 'Well,
Smiling genially, tho king bowed right
nnd left. Ho never looked better. Ills
huge, ermine cape gave an endrmous
breadth to his shouldern and set off tho
hca'tliy color of his face. Queen Alexan
dra, wearing on ermine cape, and with n
small, diamond crown, formed a rcmrka
ble contrast to her husband. Tho pallor of
her fnco nnd her downcast eyes enhunced
the Idea of nioutnltlg, given by tho long
crepe veil handing down heriock and hid'
lug tho costly ermine. Tho women of tin
bed chamber, walking two abreast, directly
behind and deeply veiled, added a touch of
sadness to the scene. This was quickly
dispelled, however, by the glittering unl
forms qf tho gentlemen-at-arms and high
officers of tho army.
Ilefore .the end of tho procession had
passed out of the. royal gallery tho king
had entered the Ilausa of Lords and the
central feature of the day commenced. It
wns 2:15 p. in. beforo tho king arrived In
the chamber, .where one of the most strlk
Ins things was the curious reversal of the
customary appurtenances of the sexes,
Here for onco .the wotnen were somber
looking, In black, relieved only by their
white arms and shoulders nnd tho diamonds
nnd pearls In their coronets, while tho men,
usually In black, were radiant with brll
Unlit robes of Kcarlet and ermine. The
peers nnd Judges occupied the front
benches, ,
The monotony of this sea of red and
white wns varied khy the Uniforms "of the
ambassadors, who, seated on the bishops
benches, with their sushes ot blue, crlm-
son and green of all shades, made a wel
come change
Antlinssnilor Ohoiitc mi llxeeiitlon.
The United States ambassador, Mr.
Choate, as usual, was prominent on nc
count of his plain, evening dress. He wns
accompanied by Mr. Carter, tho second sec
retary of the embassy, and Mr. Cutting,
prlvato secretary of the ambassador,
similarly attired. Mrs. Choate was with
the ambassadors' wives.
All present rose s the procession en
tered and all eyes centered on tho queen's
dress, which, It could be seen, In spite of
tho ermlno cape, was of deep black nnd
glittered with Jewels, while across her
breast wns the ribbon of the Order of the
Garter, her husband's latest tribute.
When their majesties reached the throne
the lord chancellor stood on the king's
right, on tho queen's left was Lord London
derry. Lord Salisbury stood nt the front
or the throne. - In state chairs wero tho
duchess of Cornwall nnd York, Princess
Charlea-of. Denmark, Princess Christian of
Hchlcstvlg-Holhorn and tho duchesses of
Connuught. Fit and Argyll. Tho dukes
of Connaught and 'Cambridge stood near
Lord Salisbury. With a motion of his hand
the king signaled that the distinguished
gatboring should sit. and thn queen, whom
his majesty had gallantly led to tho throne
by the hand, was the first to do bo. Her
cxamplo was followed on all sides.
Then tho gentleman usher of the black
red, after a deep obeisance, hurried to tho
House of Commons and in n few minutes
tho speaker, wearing stato robes nnd at
tended by the scrgeant-nt-arms nnd chap
lain, appeared at tho bar. Ilehlnd them
surgod the members of the House of Com
mons, Seldom had Great Ilrltaln's legisla
tors presentod such a turbulent snoctaolo.
Several hundred of them struggled fiercely
to got in a space which could hardly hold
fifty persons.
In solemn tonea tho lord chancellor ad
ministered the oath, with tho king sitting.
Tho lord chancellor then, kneeling, handed
tno King n roll, which ho signed, after which
all present stood up nnd tho king put on
uis noiti marshal's nlumed hat. rose and. In
clear, rlnglog tones, read his speech; turned
10 mo queon, helped her to rise, and led
her out of tho chamber, preceded by tho
procession through tho royal gallery again
and Into the robing room, from whoro In a
few minutes they emerged, entered the
state carrlago and drovo away amid a tu
mult of cheers to Hucklngham palace.
After thU thero ensued In the Houso of
Lords a rush and scramble without prece
dent In the history of Westminster. Tho
crowd In tho stato gallery poured Into tho
chamber. Peers nnd peeresses struggled to
got out nnd other members of tho nobllty,
less lucky, waited to see the place In which
the great ceremony had been hold. Almost
half an hour elapsed before tho contusion
was over and tho distinguished peoplo were
ablo to find their carriages and return
home.
The king's speech was as follows:
Speech of the KIiik.
My Lords nnd Gentlemen: I address you
for the first time nt n moment of national
sorrow, when tho whole country Is mourn
ing the irreparable loss we have so recently
sustained, and which bus fallen with pe
culiar severity on myself. My beloved
mother, during, her long and glorious reign,
has set an qxamplo before the world of
what a monarch .should be. It is my ear
nest desire to walk in her footsteps.
Amid this public nnd private grief It Is
satsfuctory to mo to be uble to assure you
that my relutlons, with the other powers
continue friendly.' "
The war In South Africa is not yet en
tirely terminated, but the capitals of the
enemy nnd his principal lines of communi
cation aro In my possession and measures
have been taken which will. I trust, enable
my troops to leal effectually with the
forces by which they aro still opposed.
I greatly regret tho loss of life and ex
penditure of treasure due to the fruitless
guerrilla warfare maintained by Door
partisans In the'former territories of the
two republics. Their early submission is
much to be desrnd in their own interests,
as, until It. takes place, It will be impossible
fop me to establish In those colonies the
Institutions which will oecure tho equal
rights of all tho while Inhabitants and pro
tection und Justice for tho nntlve popula
tion. '
The capture of Pekln by the allied forces
and the hnppy release of those who were
besieged In the legations, results to which
my Indian troops and my naval forces
largely contributed, havo been followed by
tho submission of the Chinese government
to the demands Insisted in by the powers,
Negotiations nro proceeding regarding the
manner In which, compliance with these
demands Is to bo effected,
Dnkr noes to Aunt rutin.
Tho establishment of the Australian
conimonweulth was proclaimed at Sydney.
J""' ! wltl nany manifestations of
popular enthusiasm nnd rejoicing. My
deeply beloved nnd lamented mother had
assented to tho visit of tho duke of Corn
wall and York to open the first parliament
of the new commonwealth in her name. A
separation from my son, especially nt
such a moment, cannot be otherwise thnn
deeply painful, but I still desire to give
effect to her late majesty's wishes as
evldenco of her Interest, ns well ns of my
own, In all that concerns the welfare of
my subjects beyond the sens. I have there
fore, decided that the visit to Australia
shall not bn nbnndoned and shall bo ex
tended to New Zealand' und the Dominion
of Canada.
The prolongation of tho hostilities In
South Africa has led me to mako u further
call on the putrlotlsrn and devotion of
Canada and Australasia. 1 rejoice that
piy request bus met with a prompt und
loyal response, nnd large additional con
tingents from these colonies will ombork
for tho seat of war at an early date.
The, expedition organized for the sup
pression of tho rebellion In Ashantl was
crowned with signal success. The en
durance nnd galluntry of my native troops,
nbly commanded by Sir James Wilcox and
led by British otllcers. have overcome
both the stubborn reslstnnrn of the most
warlike .tribes of West Africa nnd tho
exceptional difficulties ot the climate olid
season of the country In which tho opera
tlons were conducted. The garrison of
Coomnssle, which wns besieged bv the
enemy, bus beeii relieved after n pro
longed and gallant defense. Tho principal
kings linve surrendered nnd tbo chief im
pediment to tho progress of the develop
ment of this rich jtortlon of my whole
African possessions has now, I hope, been
finally removed.

The suffering and mortality caused bv

SALISBURY ON THE BOER WAR
Ileiilles to Lord KlmlierW Altnclt
on the Conduct of the C'lini
pillKII, LONDON, Feb. 14. On the resumption
of business In the House of Lords the lord
chancellor read the king's speech und tho
niaiquls of Watcrford, conservative, moved
tho address In reply. Ho Is, perhaps, the
youtgest member whom tho honor has over
been accorded. Lord Manucrs seconded the
motion.
Lord Klmberlcy, liberal leader, after com
plimenting tho mover nnd seconder of the
address, said tho houso needed no further
nesurnnccs that tho king would follow In
the steps of 'his mother, but proceeded to
express dissatisfaction with the conduct of
the war In South Africa. He said tho pres
ent conditions In South Africa tilled htm
with apprehension. Tho government had
been living In a fool's paradUe. Unless
they enabled General Kitchener to speedily
terminate the war the situation could easily
become morn dangerous. It the govern
ment attempted to put tho whole military
system nn n moro satisfactory basis they
would receive every support from tho lib
erals, Lord Salisbury rose leisurely and ndded
his congratulations to the mover and sec
onder of the nddrcss and proceeded to rcfor
to the manner In which the country's loss
had been received throughout the world.
Continuing, Lord Salisbury said the
country could now hope confidently that tho
promise given by the king, that he would
follow in his mother's steps would tic fully
and nbundnntly borne out. If so. It would
be tho greatest triumph for tho principle
of monarchy and for tho namo of the Brit
ish union. Dealing with the war, Lord
Sallbury thought there was nothing unusual
In the length ot the campaign. Ho referred
Lord Klmherley to tho Indian mutiny nnd
tho American war. between which and tho
South African campaign there was n great
resemblance. Where great enthusiasm and
persistency existed In a country like South
Africa, months must elapse beforo tran
quility could bo restored, Therefore, ho
did not believe there was any real ground
for the discontent or apprehensions ex
pressed by Lord Klmberlcy. It v,as four
years beforo tho wholo efforts of that very
Intelligent and most Influential community,
North America, wore ablo to bring tho war
ot secession to a final and successful Issue,
tie would bo glad to. bear Lord Klmberlcy
repudiate all Idea of asking tho govern
ment to alter Its conduct towards the enemy.
It was the business of the government to
put Its wholo heart and strength to the
task before it.
A not numerous but noisy faction tried
to mako out that the English peoplo were
not hearty supporters of tho war and 'urged
tho government to ndnpt action short ot
what wns implied tn carrying the operations
to a successful Issue. If tho enemy were
allowed to retain any portion of their In
dependence it would Involve Incessant, con
tinuous warfare. Unless the Ilrltlsh wero
masters and tho conquerors ot these terri
tories there wns no hopo of abiding peace.
What tho country should do with tho power
when obtained was another question, but
It was perfectly obvious that the flr,t pur
pose to which tho enemy would put any
powers granted them would be to accumu
late new powers and new arms to await
another opportunity. If Ilrltnln slackened
her efforts It would be an avowal to the
vorld that her frontier could ho Invaded
in the most Insulting manner and that the
emplro was powerless to effectively re
sist It.
If Lord Klrabcrley could impose his
opinion on his party generally It would
bo a great advantage to tho empire, as It
would dispel tho impression In South Africa
that an Important party movement In their
favor existed In this country nnd It would
help to bring to an end tho Insane resist
ance which was br'uglng desolation and
misery to two territories.
Tho address wns agreed to' and their
lordships adjourned until February 19.
SAME TOPIC IN THE HOUSE
(.'ominous Are Askeil lo Consider
Afrlcnn Condition .Inst ns
They ICitst.
LONDON. Feb. 14. In the House of Com
mons a messago was brought In from the
king thanking tho Commons for their ad
dress of sympathy on the loss of his mother
nnd their expression ot dutiful attachment
to his person. Tho Bpeaker then 'read tho
message of condolence from the various
parliamentary bodies.
During the formal business the members
condoled with each other on tho injuries'
received in tho scrimmages earlier In the
day during tholr attempts to reach the
House of Lords. There were many con
tusions, Among tho measures announced, Gerald
Ualfour (president of the Hoard of Trade)
gavo notice that at nn early date he would
lntroduco a bill to amend and consolidate
tho literary copyright laws. The speaker
having read tho king's speech, H. W. For
stor, conservative of West Kent, who was
In the uniform of tho Yeomanry, moved the
nddress In reply to tho speech from the
throne, After a roferenco to tho change ot
sovereignty Mr. Forstcr said he hoped the
houso would remember the dignity of the
king's position nnd deal generously with
tho civil list. Sir Andrew Agnew, unionist
of Edinburgh, seconded the motion.
Sir Henry Campbell-llannerman, the lib
tial leader, after wishing) the king and
queen might havo a long and happy reign,
took up the political paragraphs of the
speech from tho throne, Ho asked the
houso to face the facts In connection with
the wnr. They must not shut their eyes
to tho gravity of the situation In South
Africa. He dwelt at length on tho miscal
culations of the government nnd paid a
warm tribute to tho army, saying he thought
there was no reason to withhold the fullest
confidence from the generals In the field.
Tho position In South Africa presented
formidable difficulties. Neither hern nor In
South Africa was there any Idea of Illnch
Ing, The question was, had the govern
monradequately realized the circumstances
and adequately provided for them.
The speaker asked If It was true Geueral
Kitchener had asked for morn troops eleven
weeks ago; the house would not hesitate
to vote anything nocessary to clear the
colony of the Invaders, but when that was
accomplished, then was the moment to make
tho people of the two states such terms
of settlement as, while securing for the
etrplro all they were contending for, wouldJ
nsstiago their feats, save their dignity and
rcstoro their personal rights. While sup
porting the dispatch of such reinforce
ments ns the mllltnry authorities at the
Cape required, he strongly urged, ns n
sohent Infinitely moro effective than mili
tary measures, , that definite proposals
should be made nt the same time. If they
were to keep South Africa they must win
(ho confidence of the Dutch. Whatever
must bo donu must bp done openly. The
dispatch of pence emissaries was not wise.
Mr. A. J. Balfour, the government leader,
followed. '
Jnmes llryce Rrgurd that the government
wns wrong In demanding unconditional sur
render from tho Hoers.
Mr. Chamberlain Interjected;
"Lord Iloberts only demanded uncondi
tional surrender of the Ilocr government,
not of Individual Doors."
Hesumlng, Mr. Ilryco said: "You have
driven to despair nn enemy whoso bravery
deserves morn respect. It. would be better
not to convert tho republics Into self-governing
colonies, but to leave them as pro
tected states, disarmed and free from for
eign Interference "
The Houso then adjourned.

with tightness of chest and headache. Dr.
