untitled by the liin;. f
London.?Kins Edward opened Par- '
liument Willi a ceremonial in ail essential
respects similar to that of February
last. Tlio procession to the House
or Lord.; was of the same character
as ihat witnessed 911 the occasion of
the opening of the tirst Parlianieut
of King luiward's reign, while within
the Upper House were seen the sauie
Stale pageantry, the same historic
dresses and the same revival of ancient
forms.
After robing. King Euward and
Queen Alexandra entered llie House
of Peers and occupied their thrones,
beneath a canopy, with the Prince and
Princess of Wales on cither.side of
them. The other members of the
??.%? .?1 r.notle uv ? o i ite.l mi
at tlio foot of the sic,is leading to the
throne.
The Ccutlcr.rn I'slier of the TV.nek i
Hod. (icncrsl Si:- Michael Biddulplt.
having summoned the Sneaker and the
members of the House of Commons.
His Majesty read the speech from the
throne.
The speech vrr.r. not an important utterance.
It open d whh a reference to
the tour of the lVluce and I'rinecss of
Wales.
' They reeve everywhere," said the
King. "reeeiveil with demo nitrations
of the liveliest aiYectime-, and I e.te
convinced their presence nerved to i
rivet move closely the bonds of mutual
regard and loyalty by which the vigor
of the empire is maintained.
"I regret," said ITis Majesty, "that
the war in South Africa is not yet
ended, though the course of the operations
has been favorable to our arms,
the area of war largely reduced and Industries
arc being resumed in my new
colonies. The necessity of relieving
those of my troops who have most felt
the strain of war has afforded me the
opportunity of ngalu availing myself
of the loyal and patriotic offers of my
colonies, and further contingents poon
will reach South Africa front the Boininion
of Canada, the Commonwealth
of Australia and New Zealand."
Then came the following clause:
"1 have concluded with tin* IVeshlcnt
oi wii* lumen tern's :i uv:uy. hip i revisions
oT which will 1 Militate llie
construction of an interooennie canal.
under gunranircs that its mutrality
will lie maintained. ami that if will be
open to the commerce and shipping of
all nations."
The scene in the eiMcd chamber was
brilliant. Sta'o o'th'ovs. Aats-.fs
and Ministers, in handsome uniforms,
and Pecrrs and Pcecrey-cs, in \arlcolored
robes. f'IT. ?I every nool;.
The Kin,?, beneath his robe, wore n
Field Marshal's uniform. The Queen's
dross was of black velvet, surmounted
by a robe, trimmed with ermine. The
Peeresses all wore ostrich feathers in
their hair, and were clad richly in
evening voltes of the most varied colors,
white satin, however, predominating.
The display of jewels was unusually
dnxzliup.
The only depart tire from the extremely
decorous character of the proceedings
occurred when the King referred
to the humanity of the Itriiish
troops in South Africa, when Peers and
Peeresses cheered heartily, to the evi
dent satisfaction of His Majesty.

The guardsmen tramped through tin
dark streets of the metropolis at <
o'clock in tin- morning, accompanied b;
an uproarious mob of civilian friends
singing songs to (lie accompanimen
of the hand. Tli? songs and music
however, did not drown the cryitij
of women, who clung to the neck

Hoard of Directors Ins decided 10
adopt in part the remedy which the
public Ion- aero agreed w-ts the en.y
sensible plan to relieve the coa^c-thin

An underground station will he built
beneath the present Grand Central
Stu'ion In Forty-second street and
connected hy loop with the tracks in
the two side tunnels in I'ark avenue,
which will be deprcssi d a Ion r distance
to meet tlie loop grade. This station,
the connecting loop and the two side
tunnels will he used for handling suhriihnu
trains, all of which will lie operated

nifd equipped with the bos. known aii
pi in noes for underground traction.

that this costly change will give prcm aventilation

but tlio officials are agreed that it ! ?

tho roof of the tunnel ntitl making

use electricity tlio ronipan.v must olitaiu
legislative authority. It is not ho.

trouhlo in obtaining llse change in the
statutes.
The cost of the extensive work In
putting the plans <?f the company into
operation will be enormous, as li
means not only the equipping of the
tunnel and tralim with electric motors,
but the building of the subway station.
which will force the company to
purchase much property in the neighborhood
of Vnnderhilt and I'ark avenues
and Forty-third. Forty-fourth
