The interest in Irish politics has been transferred
N Westminster. Tie all-night debate on Thursday
was not prcarianged and was developed by All I'M

Although the Irish members desired to force atten-

Of military under the guise of constabulary. it is
suggested that the debate arose because the Irish
members desired TO display their tactics before the

The Lords are committing political suicide.
fortnight ago the Peers encouraged the general i'm
preston that they would not interfere further
with the Government bills Having rejected

The rejection of the Compensation bill made them
intensely unpopular in Ireland and threatened to

large meeting Of the Conservative peers held
yesterday, Lord Beaconsfeld advised them to ac-

measure, but would deprive the tenant of sporting
