Gladstone Engaged I'm Eliminating
Some Of the Objectionable Features.
Special Cable Dispatch to TIE EVENING STAR
LONDON. April 12.-I can now confirm my
anticipation about the home rule bill by adding
that have the very best authority for stating
that Gladstone is introducing striking modih-
cations OF the points relative to the exclusion
of the Irish members from Westminster and
the tribute which 1t was proposed Ireland
should pay.
By Associated Press
The Debate ON the Bill.
LONDON, April 12.-The debate In the house
OF commons on Mr. Gladstone's home rule bill
VIII extend over tomorrow. 1t is thought the
Dill VIII pass its first reading without a division.
The budget, which was to have been intro
duced this evening. will not be presented until
Thursday. MIR. Gladstone's Irish land purchase
bill will be introduced Friday.
The conservatives of Manchester have in
vited the liberals to cooperate with them in
organizing great public meeting to denounce
Mr.. Gladstone's home rule scheme
The home rule issue is being made the sole
ground of contest in the election in Ipswich to
M the vacancy caused by the unseating OF
Messrs. Jesse Ceilings and III. w. West for
fraudulent electioneering practices.
