LONDON, Nov 4.-When Gladstone. soon
after taking the rens of Office. held confer
ence with Mccarthy and O'Bsien on homo
rule, be gave them the distinct impression
that the Forthcoming bill Of the Liberal Gov
ernment would provide for full representa-
ton of the Irish members in the imperial
Parliament. The progress of the bill in the
Cabinet councils during the present week
have darkened the pros poets of its approval
by the NatIonalsts. The supporters of the
Ministry say tie Cabinet has been discuss
ing favOrably clause to retain an Irish
representation in Parliament, but to reduce
the number of members entitled to vote on
imperial questions only from 103 to 70,
under the new scheme Of the redistribution
of seats.
An other point regarding which the Irish
leaders are likely to come into collision with
the Ministry is the decision that the i'm pc
rial Parliament shall, by a two-thirds
majority, have the power to vote ON all bills
passed by the Irish Parliament. The Irish
Nationalists demand that the sole right to
veto such bills shall be vested In the crown.
under the direct advice of the Irish Minis
ters.
The McCarthyites are better pleased with
the amendments giving the Irish Parlia-
and the liberal provisions to settle the land
question after the funds under the existing
purchase acts are exhausted.
Both Liberal and Conservative wire
pullerS are trying TO seize the advantage In
the agitation spriDgiDg up because of the
depression in agricultural pursuits to form
a farmers party. The demands made IN
clude the readjustment OF the rates farmers
pay for holdings, the formation of land
courts, the reduction OF tithes and income
taxes, reform of the game law. Farmers
are now experiencing the worst year known
to the present generation and are seeking
relief in Immediate legislation on these
lines.
Now that the bership of the monetary
conference has been fully made up 1t is
evident that the advocates of the single
standard are in majority. England. Ger
many. Austria and Belgium will send
delegations having preponderance of mono-
melallists. yet the growing belief in London
financial circles is that the conference will
effect some arrangement The language
formerly held about tue futility Of the con-
gress is no longer heard. The president OF
the institute of bankers in his inaugural ad-
dress referred to the currency question as
urgently demanding reasonable settle
ment. The duty of the Government, he
said, is to find practical remedy. for the
existing difficulties could never be met by
theoretic discussion.
This declaration had great significance as
al distinct advance on the "laissez faire''
treatment of the subject The attitude Of
the English delegates is expected to guide
the decisions to great degree. They have
as yet received no definite instructions.
1t is reported that the Government is con-
sidering suggestions by influential firms Of
Manchester, Liverpool and London to settle
the question upon the basis of reciprocal
concessions, gold standard countries taking
silver coins at par, and silver countries CIV
Ing in return reductions in tariffs. The
leading expert on the subject told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that reciprocity
upon silver coinage basis would be im-
practicable
