On behalf of Premier Balfour, Aus- ten Chamberlain declared the House | of Commons must first decide whether or not it deSired any change at all in the fiscal system, and until that point was sattled the opposition demand for details of the Government's fiscal re- | form plah could not be granted. With th= exception of the foregoing unexpected incident and the spirited defense of his action in the Whitaker Wright case hy Sir Robert Finlay, the Attorney General, the opening of Par- liament was uneventful. King Edward and Queen Alexandra | drove In full state to the House of Lords, wkere with much ceremony the session was declared open. His Maj- | esty’'s speech from the throne is gener- | ally regarded as having merely record- ed the facts already known, while the Government's , legislative programme .hus been announced already in these | dispatches. Lord Lansdowne, the For- ‘fllfin Secretary, confirmed what has | heretofor# been generally conceded as ¢ Great Britain’s attitude in the Far | Eastern crisis, without throwing any new light on the negotiations. Both in the House of Lords and the House of i Commons the British Thibetan expédi- tion and the war in Somaliland came in for, criticism, but the opposition after the fiscal question laid stress chiefly upon fhe importation of Chinese into the Transvaal and the report of the War Commission. BROKEN PARTY LINES. | 1n the House of Lords the absence of | the Duke of Devonshire (formerly | Lord President of the Council) and l Lord Baifour of Burleigh (former Sec- retary for Scotland) from the Ministe- rial bench was noted, but in spite of this the House of Peers ended the’ses- sion with a passivity that quite belied the party cleavage which has occurred since last they met, In the House of Commons this cleav- age was made apparent, for Charles T. Ritchie (former Chancellor of the Ex- chequer) and Lord George Hamilton (formereSecretary for India) both took their seats below the gangway and di- rectly in front of Joseph Chamberlain 4nd, curiously enough, between Lord Hugh Cecil, the bitter opponent of the former Colonial Secretaty, and Jesse Collings, his most faithful adherent. A= one member said. “everything is at sixes and sevens.' The government is not likely to be turned out on.John Morley’s amend- ment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne, which is agsinst a return to protective duties, but the general impression prevails that the government will not be able to keep its forces together to see the session end. POLICY OF IRISH PAKTY. The Irish party, which now almest holds the balance of power, held a con- ference during the day and decided to | take no action until the government has defined its intentions toward the Catholic.IUniversity and the amendment tn the land purchase act. It is prob- able that Redmond’s adherents wili'ab- stain from voting for the present on any division which would endanger the government. Redmond will enunciate the policy of his party to-morrow. Sir Robert Finlay, toward the close of the night session, said he intended to amend the law dealing with com- pany cases, such as those of Whitaker Wright. He declared that after care- ful consideration of the evidence at his disposal in 1902, it seemed to him that Wright's misstatements were really in support of the “cormer” which would have rehabilitated the London and Globe Finance Corporation and were made with the view of benefiting rath- er than injuring the shareholders. The Attorney General announced that the government would pay the costs of the ‘Wright prosecution. | | | | berlain was warmly cheered by the Throughout this first sitting the op- position appeared much invigorated by its successes in the bye-elections. e POMP AND CEREMONIAL. Ancient Custom Is Observed in the Opening of Parliament. LONDON, Feb. 2—King Edward opened Parliament to-day with all the | ceremonial that hag been in vogue since | hig ascension to the throne. None of | the familiar outdoor features were lack- ing. The weather conditions, however, | were too depressing to permit of much enthusiasm. Early in the day occurred the time- sonored search of the vaults of the houses of Parliament for conspirators and later came the crowds, under a forest of umbrellas, always eager for anything in the way o( pageantry; but their ranks were thinned by the inclement weather. In the passage of the royal pair along the troop-lined route from Buckingham Palace to St. Stephens no novelty was introduced and the effect was sadly marred by the drenched appearance of the cortege. Half a dozen state carriages with the suites preceded the ornate coach of state, drawn by eight cream-colored Hanoverians and bearing the King and Queen. The procession was surrounded by the usual retinue of equerries, out- riders, yeomen of the guard, exercising their ancient right to be in close at- tendance on the sovereigns, and an escort of household cavalry. The Prince and Princess of Wales had a small procession of their own from Marlborough House. After entering the House of Lords by the royal gate beneath the Vietoria tower, the King and Queen were robed, and, preceded by the state regalia, passed In procession to the chamber, where the lords had assembled to hear the King's speech. Many peeresses were present and their feathers, jewels and bright dress, with the vari-colored robes of the legislators of the upper house and the brilliant/diplomatic uni- forms, combined to make an effective scene, Embassador Choate was confined to his room by a slight cold and was un- able to attend, so the United States embassy was represented by Secretary ‘White and Second Secretary Carter. ‘On the arrival of the members of the House of Commons King Edward read the speech from the throne. Touching upon the Alaska decision the King's speech said that on some points the ver- dict was favorabie to the British claims and on others it had been adverse. Much as this last circumstance was to be deplored it must nevertheless be a matter for congratulation that the mis- understandings in which the ancient boundary treaties, made in ignorance of geographical facts, are so fertile have in this case been finally removed from the field of controversy. The crisis in the Far East is touched upon briefly in the King's speech, as follows: . “I have watched with concern the, course of the negotiations between the governments of: Russia and Japan in regard to their respective interestsein China and Korea, and a disturbance of the peace in those regions could not but have deplorable consequences. Any assistance which my Government can usefully render toward the promotion of a pacific solntion will be gladly af- forded."” Another point of interest to the Unit- ed States was a reference to cotton, as follows: “The insufficiency of the supply of raw material upon which the great cot- ton Zndustry of this country depends has inrpired me with deep concern. I trust the efforts being made In various parts of my empire to increase the area of cultivation may be attended with a large measure of success.” The speech makes the usual refer- ence to the satisfactory character of foreign relations, touching upon the conclusion of the Anglo-French arbi- tration agreement as being “a happy illustration of the friendly feelings of the two countries,” and refers to the Somaliland expedition and the Mace- donian reforms, expressing the hope that the ‘“practical measures for the amelioration, so sorely needed, of these unhappy regions” will be carried out during the nregnt respite in the dis- turbances, “After mentioning the “political mis- sion which, with the concurrence of the Chinese Government, has entered the Thibetan territory in order to se- cure due nbservanco of convem.mns saying that a Chinese official had been dispatched from Peking to meet the mission, and expressing trust that an arrangement would be reached to peacefully remove the constant source of friction, the speech closes with the warning that, although the estimates have been framed with the utmost de- sire for economy,-the burden imposed by the necessities of naval and mili- tary defense is “undoubtedly serious,” and mentions some of the.proposed do- mestic legislation, as already forecasted in these dispatches. o No suggestion .of legislation concern- ing Ireland was contained in the King's speech. At the conclusion of the ceremony ih the House of Lords the King and Queen returned.to the palace and the members of the House of Commons repaired to their own house and ad- journed at 4 o’clock When the House of Commons as- sembled later for business the fouse was crowded and there was great ani- mation, in striking contrast to the list- lessness generally characterizing the opening of a session. Joseph Cham- majority of the Conservatives as he entered and took a seat helow the gangway. The other- Parliamentary leaders were accorded hearty recep- tions by their tillowers. The Secretary of State for Home Affairs, Akers-Douglas, in the absence of Premier Balfour, temporarily as- sumed the duties of leadsr of %he House. The mover and seconder of the ad- dress in reply to the speech from the throne referred with satisfaction to the settiement of the Alaska dispute and paid tribute to the manner in which the award was received in Can- ada: Lawrence Hardy, Conservative, who moved the address, alluded to “the war that was threatening a vast area of the Far East,’ and said he would trust the British Government to do its utmost to maintain péace. Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the Liberal leader of the House, fol< lowed. After expressing regret at the absence of the Premier, Bir Hesry said he desired to question the Gov- ernment regarding its attitude on the fiscal’ question and asked if it were a new government with a new policy. The only way of dealing with the ex- isting confusion, he added, was to ap- peal to the sense of the electors of the country. In conclusion, Sir Henry se- verely arraigned the Government's at- titude on the fiscal question and an- nounced that John Morley would in a few days introduce a more compre- hensive amendment involving the whole situation. Austen Chamberlain, the Chancel- lor of the Exchequer, replied. He de- fended the Government, whose fiscal policy, he said, had been clearly to stand by the Premier. All the Gov- ernment asked for was freedom to negotiate, which would enable it to preserve the .open door and freedom of trade. The sitting was suspended at 7:30 o’clock. The House of Lords commenced the business of the session at 4 o'clock. The galleries were well filled, among those present being the Prince of ‘Wales, the Duke of Connaught, Lord Roberts and the Duke of Devonshire. After the introduction of new peers, Lord Fitzwilliam (Liberal-Unionist) moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne, which was seconded by Lord Hytton (Conserva- tive). Earl Spencer, the Liberal leader in the House, followed. He paid a trib- ute to the late Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Lans- downe, and, continujng, alluded to the situation in the Far East. The Earl sald he hoped the Government's friendly office had been offered to both powers, especially to Japan, and asked for information from the Government regarding Somaliland and Thibet, and the situation in South Africa, to which, he pointed out, no reference had been made in the speech from the throne. Earl Spencer added that he hoped an early decision in regard to the Gov- renment’s policy on the fiscal question would be reached and announced that the opposition would take every op- portunity of bringing the question be- fore the country. Lord Lansdowne responded. He con- gratulated the House on the conclu- sion of the Anglo-French and Anglo- Italian arbitration. treaties, deplored the situation in the near and Far East and expressed the hope that a pacific i solution of the difficulties in both cases would be reached. In regard to the United States, Lord Lansdowne said the Goxernment had endeavored to translate into practice what it affirmed rather as a mattér of principle in the French and Italian treaties, Commenting on the subject of the Alaskan decision, Lord Lansdowne said that, although the tribunal which disposed of the Alaskan difficulty was not, strictly speaking, arbitral, its ef- forts illustrated the possibility of set- tling. by other than diplomatic means «| long standing, dangerous international differences. The condition of Alaska might have brought Great Britain into °|a serious and acute controversy with the United States. The finding of the tribunal {;ubt]es& was not - entirely satisfactory to Great Britain, but no one expected. it to be an entirely favor- able verdict. Lord Lansdowne was inclined to find some corsolation in the fact that his military and naval adviser were confi- dent that the two islands in Portland | Channel which had gone to the United States were not of any strategical value whatever. Concerning the Russo-Japanese dis- pute, Lord Lansdowne said it was an axiom in diplomatic circles not to offer good offices until they were asked for. Neither of the disputants had asked for them. In fact, it was an open sgcret that one at least of the disputants had said that mediation was not desirable at the present time. But sheuld the op- portunity offer, his Majesty's Govern-_ ment would gladly avail {tself thereof. The Thibet mission, said Lord Lans- downe, was political and not military. It was for the pyrpose of promoting a more satisfactory arrangement for friendly intercourse in trade. Coming to the fiscal situation, Lord Lansdowne sald the policy recommend- ed by Chamberlain was not the policy of the Government, and Balfour had clearly defined the Government's pol- icy. He (the speaker) did not conceal his sympathy with Chamberlain’s aspi- ration to draw the empire more closely together and to put the affairs of the | nation on a more business-like footing. | If the reward of the success of such a policy was great, the punishment of fallure was irreparable and the Gov- ernment was only prudent in declining to be rushed intd,siich proposals. - In conclusion, Lord Lansdowne said the position of the Government was per- fectly defensible and logical. . The text of the amendment to the address in the reply to thé speech from the throne, referred to by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman in thé House of Ccmmons, and which will be moved by ‘Morley in behalf of the opposition, is as follows: “It is our duty, however humbly, to ! present to vour Majesty that our ef- fective deliberation on financial ser- vices is impaired by conflicting declars- tions from your Majesty’'s Ministe) “We respectfully submit the judg- ment of this House that the removal of protective duties has, for more than Lalf 2 century, actively conduced to the vast extension qf th¢ trade and com- merce of the realm and the welfare of the population, and this House believes that while the needs for social improve- ment are still manifold and urgent any return to protective duties, and more | particularly when imposed upon the | food of the people, would be deeply injurious to the national strength, con- | tentment and wellbeing."” | | S i Balfour’s Tllness Not Serious. LONDON, Feb. 2.—Premier Bal- four's attack of iiluenza is following its normal course. He was unable to attend the reassembling of Parlia- msat.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2.—As the re- sult of a quarrel Cver a woman, John B. Kearney, a carpenter, was shot and killed this afternoon by Lee Jack, alias Philip Lze, a hak driver. The tragedy occurred in a hallway of the Hotel Rer- wick at 449 South Spring street. From the giatements of eyewitnesses It would appear that Lee acted in self-defense, ‘Kearney having drawn a revolver and was in the act of firing when he was killed. Lee's bullet passed through Kearney's -lungs, causing death so quickly that Kearney could not firé his half-raised revolver. Mrs. G. S. Herbert was the cause of the tragedy. She associates with Lee, and Kearney had been trying to induce her to leave him. He is #aid to have sent Lee word that he would shoot him. | Kearney purchased a revolver and box | of cartridges to-day and invaded Lee’s | room in the hotel. A fight followed, in | which Kearney was thrown out. He re- | mained in the hallway’and when Lee appeared at the door attempted - to shoot him, but wag not quick enough with hjs gun. | Lee surrendered himself to a police- man and was locked up without bail, pending thé result of the Coroner’s in- quest. Lee is an ex-convict, having served a year in San Quentin-for high- way robbery committed in 1890.
