s s.-s Preparations. Ell
New York, Jan. 15.-The return of
the king and queen to Marlborough
House for the opening of parliament
marks the beginning of the festivities
of the coronation year, says the Lon
don cable to The Tribune. The kings
council and cabinet meeting were for
malities required for putting the fin
ishing touches on the address from the
throne and for the arrangements for
the military and parliamentary pa
geants. The ceremonial last February
will be repeated with more pages,
equerries, horses, carriages and color.
Lord Salisbury, instead of carrying
the sword of state, as he would be
forced to do if he were foreign secre-
tary, is favored by tradition and will
stand at the left of the king, as lord
of the privy seal, with the lord chan
cellor at the kings right hand. The
Duke of Devonshire will carry the inn
perial crown or the sword of state.
The Marquis of Winchester will bear
the cup of maintenance and Lord
Wolseley will be the gold stick. The
college of heralds will bring into the
picture every figure that belongs there
by virtue of ancient tradition.
