court and other Liberals. Some OF its
more critical points have been discussed
with the Irish leaders with the asSur-
ance that il the election places Mr..
Gladstone in power, the bill will be pre-
sented at the autumn session OF parlia-
ment.
Concerning the production and the
passage of the Home Rule measure, Mr..
Gladstone is more than ever an old man
in hurry. He knows that he must un-
der any circumstances face another
election before he attainS the final tr-
umph of his life in the completion OF
Irish legislation. II he passes the bill
i'm the House of Commons next year it is
certain TO he rejected by the House OF
Lords, This would involve a fresh ap-
peal 10 the country. Even II the peers
were at once submissive TO the will of
the people and allowed the measure to
become a law, the alteration OF the rep
reSentation In the Parliament cOnse-
Quent thereon would require another
general election, while the initiation OF
the new Irish administration would
draw heavily upon Mr.. Gladstone's ener-
gieS. For these reasons be 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 Midlothian.
The representative Of the Associated
Press has learned that the leading fea-
lures OF the measure OF 1856 will be re-
taiued with the following exceptions:
Clause 4, restricting the powers OF
the Irish Legislature, is enlarged by
further defining the Elimination Of the
powers Of the Legislature TO interfere
with the endowment of religion, or i'm
pose disability, or confer privilege on
account Of religious belief Further
guarantees 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 pill, Shal! hold
Office for ten years.
The much disputed clause "a, reHoy-
ing the Irish peers from the House of
Lords and the Irish members from the
House OF Commons disappears in the
new bill, the representation OF Ireland
in the Imperial Parliament remaining
the same as present TO meet the threat
ened active refusal or passive resistance
of the Ulstertes TO the Irish Parlia-
ment by the non-payment Of taxes.
Subsection 4 of clause OF the bill Of
1886 is to be extended so as to insure
the employment of the police and mill
tary forces 10 enforce the payment OF
all taxes leviable by the Irish Parlia-
ment.
Another alteration relates to disputes
arising between the Irish legislature
and the Imperial government.
Lord Roseberrv recently made re-
ference to some tribunal dealing with
these differences This was strongly
interpreted by the Irish members TO
mean the creation of a body like the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
Lord RoSeberry really referred to the
retention of Clause % of the old bill,
providing that the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council should decide con-
stitutional questions relating TO the
powers of the Irish legislature. Mr.
Gladstone is understood as proposing TO
appoint a fixed number OF Irish judges
TO sit with the Judicial Committee when
Irish questions are discussed. Apart
from these notifications the measure OF
1856 remains intact.
A comparison of the forecasts OF the
results of the election shows that the
official estimate of the liberal managers
: 3 70
including the Irish members. The Lib
eral UniOnists estimate that they will
have majority Of 30 including the
Irish vote. Official Conservative figures
give the Uuiouists majority of 30. The
Pau NAL Gdzette'S calculation, which is
based on an analysis of the elections
since 1856, results in a majority for Mr..
Gladstone of 94, only II over the Irish
vote. Balancing the reports from the
various sides, an impartial forecast is
that Mr. Gladstone will obtain no ma
jority that will enable TO act independ-
ent of the Irish party.
Among the Incidents of the week Is a
remarkable letter Professor Tyndall
sent to the Dublin Ulsterite Convention.
The letter says he occupies no post, re-
ceiveS no wages, enjoys no pension.
Money in dribletS comes to him occa-
sionally from precarious source. Re-
Gently his publishers sent e103 to him
in payment for two books. OF this
money ne gives E1O0 to the Ulster
movement and retains three pounds for
himself. The Professor denOunces the
evil genius Gladstone and blames the
"Arch Doctriueaire Morley for first
planting the microbe OF repeal in the
brain of his venerable friend"
Morley, the Professor adds, was once
man of elevated mind; now he is de-
graded TO the level of a professional
politician. Prof. TYndall predicts that
the first loyalist blood shed In Ulster for
the sake OF Archbishop Walsh and Tim
othy Healy will arouse feeling that
will sweep Gladstone's Irish policy to
perdition.
The total number Of candidates who
will stand in the elections is 1850.
Nearly all the 67O seats in the House
will be contested. A few Catholic can
didates will stand in England4 There
will be only ten jewish Candidates, OF
which number four are Liber alS, four
Conservative and two Liberia Dnion-
