Curtail Jap Navy

TOXIC, Feb. 10.-The budget COM
mittee of the Diet yesterday voted to
reduce the estimates for the navy
30,000,000 yen, or about $4,000, 900.
Japanese naval officers are just now
in bad repute because of the grating
scandal resulting from obtaining
contracts for a German electrical
firm. The excitement in Japan over
this matter Is so great that 1t may
cause the fall of the Yamamoto min
istry.

At the graveside another scene was
enacted, which will live for a long
time in the minds of those present
Fully 500 persons surrounded the
newly-made grave, hundreds having
preceded the cortege to the cemetery.
And while the last simple ceremonies
were performed the men stood with
barred heads and women wept as they
beheld the remains of Congressman
Bremner lowered to their last resting
place.

OF PARLIAMENT
Continued from First Page.)

that the good will and cooperation
of men of all parties and creeds may
heal the dissension and lay the
foundations of a lasting settlement"
The king. referred to his forthcom-
opinion testifying to the cordial re-
lations" between the two countries.
Proposals In Message. b
Besides the renewed submission to
Parliament of the home rule for Ire
land and the Welsh church dis
establishment bills, the domestic
legislation promised in the kings
speech includes proposals for the re-
construction >of the second chamber,
a bill providing for imperial naturali-
cation, and measures dealing with the
housing of the poor and education.
Today's session opened by King
George Is the fourth of the present
British Parliament-a session that
promises to be history-making one
owing to the important constitutional
questions to be decided.
Queen Mary and the king both wore
their crowns and brilliant royal
robes. They rode in the state coach
of gold drawn by eight Hanoverian
cream-colored horses from Bucking-
ldtl DdidCC LIE MILL, over
the Horse Guards parade, and then
along Whitehall to the kings en-
trance to the House of Lords. Great
crowds assembled along the route
to witness the procession. The
weather was ideal.
Scene Is Picturesque.
In the House of Lords the scene
was a picturesque one as their ma
jesties surrounded by other members
of the royal family and by peers and
peeresses in their state robes, as
cended the throne. The king imme-
diate.y read his speech.
Only few privileged strangers
We're admitted to the House. These
included members of the House of
Commons, most of the foreign diplo-
matte corps and representatives of
the official world.
The American ambassador and
Mrs. Page were among those pres
ent.
The real work of what promises to
be the most momentous session of
recent times began with the assembly
of the House of Commons after a
brief luncheon interval.
Much of the customary perfunctory
procedure was omitted and little in
terest was manifested in the formal
speeches of the mover and seconder of
the address in reply to the speech
from the throne.

Long Makes Hot Reply.

Walter Long, formerly Unionist
chief secretary for Ireland, then
sprang to his feet, and on behalf of
the Unionists threw down a challenge
to Premier Asquith to submit home
rule to vote Of the country. The
plea made by the king in his speech
ito heal dissension" found little echo
in Mr.. Longs advocacy of the case
for the Unionists of Ulster. He asked
the House of Commons squarely to
face the fact that for the first time
in centuries the United Kingdom was
threatened with civil war.
