LONDON, March 17th. The King and Queen of Afghanis tan, who arrived in London this week, are being honoured as few Roral visitors have been in recent years. They were made welcome guests by our King and Queen at Buckingham Palace for three days, and they will be the guests of the Government for the remainder of their stay in England, a period of twenty days. After the State visit to the Palace was ended the Lord Mayor and Corporation entertained them to luncheon at the Guildhall, the ceremony of presenting them with an address enclosed in a gold casket, which is accorded to very distinguished personages, being duly carried out.
