inntfrogned this lafternnon, when the
following address, was d.elivered
froth the ,throne by H,R.H. the
Duke of Connaught:
Speech from the riPlaroue.
Following was his Royal High-
ness' prorogation speech:
Honorable G'entlemen ef the Sen -
nth Geoteemen of the Rouse of
GOITlimons:
1. an glad to relieve you from fur-
ther aeterndence in Parliament af-
ter a eceeion which hes bees metered
by legislation of an imp,oeta,nt char-
aeter,
The bask of readjusting the repre-
sentation of :the people in the House
of Commons end the gproyisione of
the Britieth North American Act, on
a, besis not open to, juat criticism,
has naturally been a 'difficult one;
hue it has been accomplished, in a
manner which I trust will prove
satisfactory to the electorate. This
readjustment will greatly increase
the 'representation of the four Wes-
tern Provincea.
• My advisers have not been un-
mindful of the necessity ef com-
pleting .with the least possible dee
lay the great Transcontinental
Railway systems now under con-
struction; and the provision, which
has been made for ne,cessery °Asia -
tenth to those gre,a,t, national enter-
prises will, I trust, not mile ensure
• their ettely completion, bulb result
in distinct and markedbepefit +call
portions of the Dominion.
The diffieult question of provid-
ing a system of naturalisation
whereby the etatue of British cisti-
zenthip thus acquired ,Ehall ,be re-
cognized by leiw in all poets of the
Empire has for many years engaged
the atteetion of the Governments
of :the Maher Conntry and
of all the self-governing dominions.
The :measure which has been passed
for that puatpose by ehe Parliament
of Canada and which will find its
complement in legislation passed by
the Imperial Parliament ,and be the
Parliannenbe ia the other dominsons,
coaeribuin,s to a great result- upon
which the Empire as a whole is to
be congratulated.
It has been found necessary to
Make a partial readjustme-nt of the
tariff in 'certain important respect's,
and I lia.ve every confidence that
this readiustment will prove el
marked advantage, mot only to the
inclueibries 'chiefly 'concerned, bub to
all the brie -Mess aed induetrial hfe
of the connery.
The legislation whieh hose been
euated ±0,implement :the resolu-
tions'. passe d , by ,the International
Conference on Safety of lafe atf, sea,
provides more: effective measures
for ensuring in the future the,safety
of passengers and crews on ocean
going steamships.
The meant -re which has been pass -
cd for the mare effective supervi-
sion of cold storage warehome,s
will, I trust, %eve itta,portarth re-
sults by regulation in thepublie
interest the ,condition and cleepoital,
of fond products ces• 'stored:,
11, is confide:nely anticipated that
the amendments sto the eaciating
laws reepectiog exuet and lo,an co,m-
pa,nies will prove :of merked advan-
tage in securing greater uniformity
as Well SS additional safenua,rds to
the public. -
The measure providing nor a spa,-
cia,lly conetitutted cornmessien to ia-
vestigate ehipping casualties o.f ex-
trem.e gravity will afford the means
of making a snore thorough and•ex-
haustive enquiry into such CASefi
and of securing recommendations
from competent experts aa to requi-
site precantione to prevent such
dieastens in the future.
;My 'advisees are oonstantly im-
pressed with the necessity for
&eater and improved fecilitiee bit
all the national portr5 of Canada,
and they believe that the necessary
pro -vision of large dry decks which
are essenttial for that purpose will
be more readily coneurennated by
the amendmenth passed at the pre-
sent session.

neons

Shankleton for his antarctic expedition
is the adoption of a "nineteen -hour day."

for 'meals and their preparation, and
eight hours for sleep. This Schedule
Would savefive hours a day and short-
en 'thetime of the expedition.
There ore those who 'doubt the wis-
dom of the proposed polar day. It leaves
little or no time for recreation, amuse-
ment, rest other than sleeP. It Is true
that there are no theatres, music 35110,
dances, elaborate dinner parties in the
polar regions. But Scott took a gramo-
phone along, and another explorer a

story -telling, card or chess plaYing,
football, baseba/1 and other sports or
amueements are. of course, available re-
eources evenm
