KING NOT PRESENT
At THE REOPEN|NG
OF PARLIAMENT

London, Oct. 23.-The reassembling OF
Parliament today drew large crowds 10
Westminster, despite the fact the open
ing OF the sessions was devoid OF sump"
tuous ceremony or the appearance of roy
atty as this was merely a resumption OF
the business Of the spring session.
King Edward was not present.
Ambassador Reid and other ambassa-
dors and ministers occupied seats I'm the
diplomatic gallery OF the house of COM
mons.
Unusual excitement in connection
with the reopening was caused by the
presence OF about 90 women suf-
fragists many OF whom, despite the
protests of the police. made their way
i'm the outer lobby Of the house Of
commons with the intention Of bot
ton -holing the members I'm support OF
their movement. A number Of the
women mounted vacant chairs i'm the
lobby and began TO harangue the few
members of parliament present in
that part of the house. The police,
after being reinforced, made a tegic
advance against the invaders. taking
the women sngly and gradually eject
ing them, one by one, from the
house. .
The most militant OF the women
struggled so desperately that two Of
ficers were required to remove them.
Their hySterical shouting ana SCredH-
ing brought crowds OF alarmed mem
bers OF parliament from the house.
During the height OF the tumult
small band of suffragists determined TO
attempt 10 break into the house itself
and as though by concerted action this
band suddenly charged towards the en-
trance of the inner lobby.
Some of the women tried TO climb
over the barrier and others attempted
TO crawl under II.
For several minutes the utmost disor-
der, almost q riot, prevailed and the po-
lice had all they could do 10 eject the
stern. determined women without utiliz-
ing the more vigorous means which would
have been employed i'm the case Of men.
The women resolutely refused to leave
the house without being ejectd by force.
and clung tenaciously to the stalwart po-
licemen, the railings other means or
support and offered strenuous resistance
to expulsion while shouts of I'VE will
have votes" and You cowardly men
dare not give us Justice resounded
through the halls. Flnaly the police were
forced TO carry out severel OF the women
bodily and the struggling and shouting
suffragists were ultimately deposited In
the palace yard where for some time
they continued their thrill and vehement
protests A procession of house OF COM
mons attendants followed the women
bearing hats. cloaks and fragments of
millinery and finery dropped in the scuf-
fe So noisily demonstrative were some
OF the leading suffragists that after they
had been expelled from the house the po-
lice arrested several Of them and march
ed them off to the nearest police station.
