The opening of Parliament.
The King and Queen remained seated throughout the ceremony at the opening of Parliament. The Prince of Wales, the Marquis of Salisbury and the Archbishop of Canterbury were present. ■ King Edward, in a clear voice read the Speech, in the course of which a hope was expressed that Mr Chamberlain’s tour in South Africa would be attended with the happiest results. Although the Estimates had been framed with regard for economy, the Speech declared that the needs of the country and the Empire would make a large expenditure inevitable. THE ADDRESS-IN-REPLY. v The Duke of RoxbrUghe and the Earl of Leitrim in the Lords, and Mr J. Gretton (M.P. for South Derbyshire) and Captain R. H. F. Greuille (East Bradford) in the Commons, moved and seconded the Address-in-Reply, which was debated in a discursive manner. There is no indication, except in the Commons on the question of army reform, that the debate will be protracted. The Lords have agreed to the Address-in-Reply.
