London, Dee. 11.
We actually had a fine day for the King to open Parliament, and was one of the most. successful pageants we have had for a long time. in addition to which, the reception of the King as well as the Prince of Wales was the most cordial T have seen for some years. Everything passed off quiet~ Is, although, the police had taken the strictest "precautions, owing. to the possibilities of Egyptian out rages, since Ministers have une doubtedly been warned that they must be careful, There was no Incident of any sort, however, except that a Guardsman fainted on the top of his bayonet,—which pierced his chin, and he is now in hospital, Perhaps the most. interesting announcement in the King's Speech is that the Prince of Wales, who is going to South Africa next spring, will visit West Africa ard St. Helena in the course of his journey, His Majesty said have, received an invitation from the: Prendent and. Government of the Arment "Reni forthe Prine of hinge gladly accepted this Invitation behalf of my" sone"
This will be the first time a Prince of Wales has visited South America, More than 40 years ago he King, then Prince George, made short stay at Buenos Aires when on a tour in the cruiser Bacchante.
