expedition, and then turned to South
Africa. on which subject he said:
"The progress of events In South At
rica has been satisfactory. The visit
of the colonial secretary has already
been productive of the happiest re-
|sults and the opportunity 1t has pro-
vided for personal conferences with
Lord Miner and the ministers of the
self-governing colonies and the repre-
sentatives of all interests and opinions
has greatly conduced to a smooth ad-
justment of many difficult questions
and to the removal of many occasions
of misunderstanding"
After referring to the Kano Niger
ia) expedition and the India durbar,
the King said:
st am glad to be able to state that
the latter imposing ceremony COIN
cided with the disappearance of the
drouth and agricultural distress in
western India and that the prospects
for both agriculture and commerce
throughout my Indian empire are more
encouraging and satisfactory than for
some time past"
The speech concluded with an inti-
nation that the budget estimates OF
the expenditure would inevitably be
large and with promising the introduce
tion of bills dealing with the Irish land
question. London education. sugar
bounties and the London docks.
In regard to the Irish measure, the
King said;
1T will, l trust, complete the series
of measures which have already done
much to substitute single ownership
for the costly and unsatisfactory con-
dition still attaching to the tenure Of
agriculture and over large portion Of
Ireland"
He laid special emphasis on the
words 'signed and ratified" in the par
agrapn of his speech referring to the
Alaskan boundary. showing evident
satisfaction at the fact that he was
able to make such an announcement.
