KING EDWARDS
THIRD PARLIAMENT
Assembled This Afternoon, Cere-
mony Simple, Royal Pageantry
Being Postponed.

Many Problems Confront Government
And Whether Coalition Can Solve
Them Uncertain.

London. Feb. 15.-The third parlia-
ment of King Edward assembled this

simplest character. all the royal
pageantry connected with the state
opening being postponed to Feb. 21 and
the interim devoted TO the swearing in
of members and the clearing, IL pos
sible. OF the difficulties confronting the
government
These difficulties are due not only to
the divergent interests actuating the
various parties which constitute the
coalition majority, but to the divisions
within the parties themselves over the
best means of graphing with the great
Issue brought about in the recent ap
peal 10 the country.
Not for many years mas such intense
interest attached to the opening of the
legislature and seldom have the prob
lens involving the success or failure of
the government threatened to be so
difficult of solution. even to tho most
capable members of parliament
The result of the recent elections is
so confused that even the staunches
supporters of the government admit
that proof that the government will
have a majority to act drastically upon
the dominant issues can be established
only after the house of commons has
settled down to work and the National
lists and Laboritcs show their hands in
the course of the debate upon the
speech from the throne.
The proceedings today were brief.
The time honored custom of searching
the vaults under the two houses as
has been done on every similar oc-
casion since the discovery of the Guy
Faukes plot was observed and then the
members of the house of commons re-
turned to the house for organization.
The lower chamber reelected Rt,
Hon James William Lowther. member
for the Penyrth division of Cumber-
land. speaker. and forthwith the
swearing in of its members was COM
menced.
The house was in session one hour
when adjournment was taken.

TILLMAN RELIEVED OF
GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

Washington, Feb. Recommending
upon the decision of the court In the
suit for custody OF his grandchildren.
Senator Tillman today said.
"The supreme justices have lifted a
great responsibility off me and shifted
it to their own shoulders. My only
motive in accepting the guardianship
was the welfare of my little grand
daughters I know all of the facts and
circumstances, many OF which were not
brought out in the hearing and was
actuated solely by sense of duty. The
final result can alone determine wheth-
er the court has acted wisely.
Fifteen years hence when I am dead
and gone. the character and type of
women that my granddaughters win
have become will show whether 1t was
best to have given them to their moth
er or not pray Gods guidance to her
In rearing Them, and that he will shield
them from communicating influence and

That important changes within the

renee has been the opinion of those
we'll informed on the disposition of af-
fairs since the first of the year. Since
the death of the former head of the
system, the late z. H. Hartman. the
policy of concentration followed by
him has apparently been on the wane.

that the western and purely Hartman
