THE PRINCE IN CANADA.
NEW PARLIAMENT HOUSES.
FINAL STONE LAID. A. and N.Z. OTTAWA. Sept. 2. Laying the final stone of the new Parliament Buildings, the Prince of Wales referred to King Edward laying a similar stone for the previous House. The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden, pointed out the probability, during the Prince's lifetime, of Canada becoming more populous even than the Motherland. Copies of messages of congratulation from South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia were deposited in a cavity of the stone prior to the Prince laying the mortar and lowering the stone into place. The Houses met later when it was pointed out in the speech from the Throne that it would be necessary for the Overseas Dominions to ratify the Peace Treaty.
