New Jersey is headquarters for

KING OPENS IT.
Sixth Session of First Parlia.
ment of Edwards Reign.
The Sovereign Reads His Speech
From the Throne.

London, Feb. 1.-THE sixth session of
the first parliament of his reign was
opened this afternoon by King Edward
with all the historic pageantry which
has marked the ceremony since his ac-
cession. The sovereign himself read
the speech from the throne to the as
sembled lords and commons in the up
per chamber. The document was COM
monplace.
The only reference to the Russian
! japanese war which the king said I'M
! happily continues was to announce
that my government has been careful
| to observe in the strictest manner the
obligations incumbent upon a neutral
power"
More than usual interest attaches to
today's opening of parliament as the
belief is practically universal that it
viii be the last session of the present
parliament. Even should the govern
ment escape defeat it is thought that
Premier Balfour will voluntarily dis
solve parliament in the autumn and
take the opinion of the country on the
fiscal and other questions now agitating
the electorate
Good weather favored today pageant
which followed the procedure of former
occasions. Big crowds were about from
an early hour watching the assembling
of the troops which lined the route from
Bucking CHAM palace to the house OF
lords. The usual interest was shown in
the time hOnOred search OF the vaults
beneath the houses of parliament by
the yeomen of the guard with their Ian
terms and halberds. Between this cere-
mony and the appearance of the royal
procession a constant stream of car
riages containing peers and peeresses
in their robes of state and officials in
brilliant uniforms enlivened the some
what tedious wait
The royal professions were the same
as last year. that of the prince and
princess of Wales from Marlborough
house consisting of three carriages
with an escort of household cavalry
preceded by few minutes, the cor
tege of the king and queen from
buckingham palace. Five state car
riages each with six horses bearing
state officials preceded the royal car
rjage with the sovereigns drawn by
the eight cream colored Hungarians
which have figured in all the state
professions of recent years. House
hold cavalry acted as a body guard
while in pursuance or J1e;r privilege
n detachment of yeomen of the guard
marched alongside the state coach.
The scenes in the neighborhood of
Buckingham palace were particularly
animated. Large crowds selected this
point whence to view the pageant and
when the sovereigns issued from the
gates of the palace they were greeted
with q treat burst of enthusiasm
which quickly spread the whole length
of the new professional road leading
from the site of the Victoria memorial
to the horse guard parade and accom-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-02-14

panied the monarch and his escort
throughout the route.
At the royal entrance beneath the
Victoria tower of the house of Lords,
the king was received by the high
officers of state and passed in process
sion to the robing room. Thence ac-
cOmpanied by the queen, his majesty
repaired to the house of lords preceded
by the crowd and other regalia, car
ried by their hereditary bearers, and
by the heralds announcing the APP
proach of the sovereigns.
The 1engthieSt paragraph in the
kings speech was devoted to the Balk-
ans. He says the situation continues to
give cause for anxiety. The measures
adopted at the instance of the Austro-
Russian governments have been IN
strumental in bringing about some
ameIioration in the state of the disturb
ed districts, but these measures have
still to be supplemented by radical re-
forms especially of the financial Sys-
tenn before any permanent improve
ments can be effected in the admins
tration of this provinces of the Turkish
empire
The speech noted with satisfaction
that the Austro- Russian governments
had addressed to the porte proposals
for this purpose and added that the
British government was in cOmmunica-
ton with the powers concerned upon
this important subject. Congratulatory
references were made to the visit of
the king and queen Of Portugal to Eng
land, to the ratification of the Anglo
French convention and to the arbitra-
ton agreements with Sweden and Nor
way Portugal and Switzerland.
The speech also mentioned the inter-
national commission entrusted with
the investigation of the circumstances
connected with the disaster to British
trawlers which resulted from the action
of the Russian fleet in the North sea
and of apportioning the responsibility
for this deplorable incident"
The king expressed the hope that the
steps to establish a constitution for the
Transvaal would result in substantial
progress toward the ultimate goal of
complete self government
The king referred to the Thibetan ex-
petition, to the exchange of visits be-
tween representatives of Lord Curzon
of Keddleston, the viceroy Of India, and
the ameer of Afghanistan to discuss
questions affecting the relations of the
two governments and concluded with
mentioning the proposals for the redis-
tribution of parliament seats to be laid
before the commons, the alien bill to
be introduced and the legislation deal
ing with the unemployed besides other
1nilnportant domestic legislation.

NO VIADUCT BONDS.
Proposition TO Issue Them Is Decisive
~ Defeated.

The people who were against the
issuance by the city of $4,000 to aid
in the construction of the $4,000
viaduct over Branner street won
handily at the special bond election
yesterday. The vote stood almost
two to one against the issue, the vote
cast against being 1885 with $50 in
favor. The total vote cast was 1925
or less by 241 of one-haf the total

The street railway company who
were making the fight to carry the
bonds failed to win a single ward,
though a tie vote was cast in the
Fifth ward where 127 votes were cast
on both sides of the proposition. Only
two precincts out of the twenty-five in
the city were carried in favor of vot-
ing the bonds. In the second precinct
of the Third ward a majority of six
votes were in favor of the bonds and
in the second precinct of the Fifth
ward thirty votes were cast as a. ma

When the firenen reached the scene
the flames had eaten their way
