Special Cable Dispatch TO The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, June 6-The government are throwing
out eelers through their friends In the press as TO
the possibility OF postponing consideration OF the
licensing clauses OF the local government bill TO
the autumn session. Salisbury would gladly, n
possible, get little breathing time Many sup
porters urge him TO adopt time limit but this is
found to be impossible. In view OF the pending
election at Ayrborough, the liberal unionists con-
tradict the statement that at q private meeting
yesterday they decided TO accept the clauses OF the
local governmental bill with certain alterations
The report, however, Is substantially correct It
was decided TO recommend certain alterations,
while IL Is fully understood that In case would
they endanger the existence OF the government.
Nobody really believes in an autumn session. The
progress OF business OF the House has been unex-
ampled In recent years The Irish under-secre-
tary's salary bill appears to be postponed tndet-
nltely. King Harman Is In a weak state or health
and quite likely 10 relinquish the Office In any
case, however, Balfour insists II Is necessary TO
have somebody TO divide the work OF the Irish
Office with him, so that the Till will only be post
poned TO more favorable opportunity.
