LONDON, June 24-Mr Gladstone's homs
rule scheme, which the Conservatives ar.
accustomed to assert is still in embryo, hai
been actually communicated in detail tt
Lord Rosebery, John Morley, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt and other Liberals. Some
of its more critical points have been dis
cussed with the Irish leaders, with the
assurance that if the election places Mr..
Gladstone in power the bill will be pre-
sented at the autumn session of Parliament.
Concerning the production and the pass
age of the home. rule measure, Mr.. Glad.
stone is more than ever an old man in a
hurry. He knows that he must under any
| circumstances face another election before
he attains the final triumph of his life in
the completion of Irish legislation. If he
passes the bill in the House of Commons
next year, it is certain to be rejected by the
House of Lords. This would involve a
fresh appeal to the country.
Anew Election at Any Rate.
Even if the Peers were at one submissive
to the will of the people and allowed the
measure to become a law, the alteration of the
representation in the Imperial Parliament
consequent thereon would require another
general election, while the initiation of the
new Irish administration would draw
heavily upon Mr.. Gladstone's energies.
For these reasons he is eager that there
should be no delay in passing the home rule
bill. He will partly lift the veil from his
plan in the addresses he will make in Mid
lothian.
The representative of the Associated
Press has learned that the leading features
of the measure of 1886 will be retained, with
the following exceptions: Clause 4, restrict
ing the powers of the Irish Legislature, is
enlarged by further defining the limitation
of the powers of the Legislature to interfere
with the endowment of religion, or to inn
pose disability, or confer privilege on &C.
count of religious belief Further guaran-
tees relating to denominational education
are provided. Next, the constitution of the
legislative body will be modified by raising
the number of members of the first order in
the Upper House, who, as in the first bill,
shall hold Office for ten years
Imperial Representation Is Preserved.i
The much-disputed clause "a, removing
the Irish Peers from the House of Lords and
the Irish members from the House of Com
mons, disappears in the new bill, the repre-
sentation of Ireland in the Imperial Parlia-
ment remaining the same as at present to
meet the threatened active refusal or passive
resistance of the Obstetrics to the Irish Par
lament by the non-payment of taxes Sub
section of clause of the bill of 1886 is to
be extended SO as to insure the employment
of the police and military forces to enforce
the payment of all taxes leviable by the
Irish Parliament.
Another alteration relates to disputes
srising between the Irish Legislature and
the,Imperial Government Lord Roseberv
recently made reference to some tribunal
dealing with these differences This was
wrongly interpreted by the Irish members
to mean the creation of a body like the
Supreme Court of the United States. Lord
Rosebery really referred to the retention of
clause 25 of the old bill, providing that the
should decide constitutional questions
relating to the powers of the Irish
MI. Gladstone is under
stood as proposing to appoint a
fixed number of Irish judges to sit with
the Judicial Committee when Irish ques-
tions are discussed. Apart from the modifi-
cations, the measure of 1886 remains intact
All sides Figuring Liberal Majority.
A comparison of the forecasts of the re-
suit of the elections shows that the official |
estimate of the Liberal managers is major |
ity of LAT for Mr.. Gladstone, including the |
Irish members. The Liberal Unionists |
estimate that they will have majority of |
40 including the Irish, thus placing the |
Liberals in absolute dependence on the
Irish vote. Official Conservative figures
give the Unionists working majority of
80 The Pail Mall 0azette's calculation, which |
hos 1vci of ho hun al
since 1886, results in a majority for Mr.. |
Gladstone of "a, only IA over the Irish
vote. Balancing the reports from the vari-
Gus sides, an impartial forecast is that Mr..
Gladstone will obtain no majority that will
enable him to act independently Of the
Irish party.
Among the incidents of the week is a re-
letter Prof Tyndall sent to the
Dublin Ulsterlite Convention. The letter
says he occupies no post, receives no wages,
enjoys no pension. Money in driblets
comes to him occasionally from precarious
source. Recently his publishers sent e103
money he gives e100 to the Ulster move

The Professor denounces the evil genius

robe of repeal in the brain of his venerable
riend." Morley, the Professor adds, was
,nce man of elevated mind; now he is de-
,raded to the level Of professional politi-
ian.
Prof Tyndall predicts that the first 10y
,list blood shed in Ulster for the sake of
Archbishop Walsh and Timothy Healy will
lrouse feeling that will sweep Glad
tone's Irish policy to perdition.
The total number of candidates who will
tand in the elections is 1850. Nearly all
he $40 seats in the House will be contested.
1 few Catholic candidates will stand in
England. There will be only ten Hebrew
