EDWARD I'll AT HOLLYWOOD.

The announcement that King Edward ana
Queen Alexandra will next month visit Scot
land and hold a State levee at Hoiyrood mas
fiuttered some dovecotes in Lothian and else
where throughout the northern kingdom on
the whole, Ii is, of course, heartily welcomed+
though a few dissenting voices of the cantanker-
ous kind are heard. The prospect is that the
occasion will be one Of much splendor and loyal
enthusiasm, and one desirable for repetition
much oftener than once in fourscore years
the time which has, we believe. elapsed since
the last court was held at Holyrood.
The chief of the few and feeble objections TO
the coming function is that the King should
not be recognized in Scotland as Edward VII
but rather as Edward l, II not as Albert L.
TechnicaIly-thoueh the technicality is a trifing
and unworthy one-that is perhaps correct
There never before has been King Edward of
Scotland excepting possibly the unhappy Ed
ward BaIliol The latter prince was indeed
crowned at Scone and was nominal1y King
for short time But he was never anything
more than puppet of the King of England. and
as such was cordially hated by all true Scots
Apart from him there is no other Edward in
the Scottish line from Fergus down. Neverthe-
less the union Of the two kingdoms is now so
complete that none save hairsplitters are likely
TO challenge the propriety of giving the SOW
ereign the same title in both Of them.
Among the historical memories which will
surround the King at Holyrood are not few
that relate directly TO England and 10 the old
time wars between England and Scotland. The
splinter of the True Cross in its golden casket
which gave Holyrood its name. was taken from
the army of David II at Neville's Cross. and
uever was regained or restored. The old abbey
was several times burned by the English invad-
ers. and the palace which succeeded 1t was also
twice partly destroyed. once in 1914 and again by
Cromweli's troops Just after Dunbar. Rizzio
was murdered there and there De Quincy. as
an insolvent debtor, once found asylum from
the officers of the law. Charles Edward was
there in 1745, and the Count Of Artois. Charles

4 FTFTY-EJNTH-ST. ARCADE.

It has been apparent for long time to people
who live or do business in Fifty-ninth-st that
the thoroughfare in its present condition IS
inadequate for the present demands upon II
Its position has made the street one of the
main arteries OF uptown traffic and new I'M
portance will be added 10 it when the East
River bridge system has been completed.
Various plans for relief have been suggested,
and at the hearing before the Board of EST
mate and ApportiOnment on Friday these plans
were discussed. It appeared that while many
property owners favored the plan which would
take the necessary space from the south side OF
the street. others thought that the improvement
would not be complete unless forty feet were
taken from the north side. making the street
straight and giving it width of one hundred
feet One argument against street one hum
dred feet wide was that such tboroughfare
would not be beneficial to trade. because 1t
would create good" and poor side; that
goods shown on one side would not be seen on
the other and that people would hesitate before
crossing so wide a street In the opinion OF
the people who held this view a street eighty
feet wide would be ample to relieve the con-
gestion But even if this were agreed upon, the
question as TO which side should be sacrificed
would still be open. The north side people say
I'VE don't care which side you take the slice
from so long as you leave ours alone" and the
property owners on the other side are equally
Indifferent
Between the two stands the man with the
arcade proposition, and before the matter is
definitely decided his plan should have careful
consideration Enough space could be taken
from the sidewalks to relieve the street from
the congestion Of vehicles from which it now
suffers. and which in all probability will become
worse. Then. without disturbing the upper
parts of the houses, arcades could he built for
the accommodation of pedestrians. These could
be made artistic in design and would give the
merchants an admirable chance to display their
wares They would also afford covered prom
enade in a district which is destined TO become
business centre. The arCades Of Bologna,
Paris and Brussels are attractive features OF
those cities and q similar architectural ar
rangement in Fffty-ninth-st might be the solu-
ton of what now appears to be difficult prob
lem
The arguments in favor OF arcades will have
no weight with the people who want Fifty
ninth-st straight line TO the park" But for
those people who want the street improved
TO meet the increased demands without sacrific-
ing much space on either side. plans showing
the detqiIs of the arcade proposition would be
of great interest.

NEW RIFLES FOR GUARDSMEN.

When the next armory season begins the Ma
tional Guard of this State will probably be
equipped with the Krag-Jorgensen rife, for
which requistion will soon be made the Sec
retary of War. When these rifles have been
delivered the National Guard and the regular
establishment will be uniformly armed, and one
of the results aimed at by the new militia law
will have been accomplished. But this uniform
ity will be short lived. The new Springfield rifle
seems TO have passed muster and will be issued
to the army taking the place of the Krag-Jor
gensen and when this change has been effected
the present deplorable condition-the regular
army with one rifle and the National Guard
with another-will be re-esta bshed.
II was believed by many people who gave the
matter study that citizen soldiers would
keep their present arm until the new Springfield
was ready for them, and thus avoid two changes
in a short space OF time That would have
been the practical solution OF the question. But
the new arm is not ready in sufficient quantities
to supply even the regular establishment. and it
may be two years before it will be available
for the National Guard. The authorities have
deemed it wise. therefore. to take at once the
first steps toward improvement The change
will be one of profit 20 the Guard. even If all
other may become necessary in n few years.
A better arm will certainly be placed in use,
with which the guardsmen may school them
selves in the use of the rife which they hope
will eventually be issued TO them. The Krag,
despite its differences in construction. is enough
like the Springfield 10 make changes in the
manual unnecessary when one is abandoned for
the other. hence the guardsman may profltably
practise with the Krag until the new rife is
issued to him.
The army has heretofore always kept just
step ahead OF the Natl nal Guard in the matter
of rifles and the old gun of the army has been
considered good enough for the guardsman 1t
is to be hoped that in the present instance there
will be an exception. and that when the regular
