FIND CAUSE EOR COMPLAINT.
Objections Raised to the Provisions of the
Proposed Home Rule BilI.


he gave them distinct impression, if not an
absolute assurance, that the forthcoming
bill of the liberal government would provide
for a full represcn tation OF the Irish NOM
bcrs in the imperial parliament. The deter
mination OF the Irish party 70 retain all its
representatives at Westminster or to have
none at all was MADE known to the premier
as an absolute condition of the acceptance of
any home rule bill The progress of the bill
In the cabinet councils during tho present
week has darEened the prospects of approval
by the natioaa!ists. Supporters of the min.
istrv In position to possess precise informa-
tion upon the subject say that tho cabinet Is
discussing favoraoly clause 10 retain
Irish representatives in Parliament, but to
reduce the number of members entitled TO
vote on imperial q qlestlons only from 1903 to
seventy-eight, under a new system of re-
distribution of seats. To define what an
Imperial question" is Is now taxing the
collective skill of the cabinet home rule COM

The Right to Veto.
Another point regarding which the Irish
leaders are likely to come into collision
with the ministry is the decision that the
imperial parliament shall, by a two-thlrds
majority vote, have power of veto on oil
bills passed by the Irish parliament. The
Irish nationalists demand that the sole right
to veto such bills shall be vested IN the
crown unuer the uirect advice of the Irish
ministry. Though the main features of the
Dill are settled upon, the details evidently
bristle with dihiculteA.
Both liberal and conservative wire
puilers are trying to seize the ad-
vantage in the agitation springiny up be-
cause OF the depression of agriculture TO
form farmers party. The conservatives
have little the best of the liberals just now.
because they have 4 majority in the council
OF the central chamber OF agriculture that is
now organizing con ference, wherent RENE
dies Tor the existing depression shall be
discussed. III the council succeeds in
manipulating tho appointment of delegates,
the bulk Will be tories, with leaningS toward
protection, and slow to advocate reduction
in rents. The agitation seems likely to re-
suit in the springing up of q farmers party
on platform with O. strong liberal bias.
Woman, Suffrage.
Woman suffrage AID women's work are
other q lestlons bf the day that have pushed
to the front. James Stuart, NJ. p, pre-
siding at yesterdays meeting of the Woman
prospects of parliament passing bill con-
cedinC their claims. He regretted that since
Rt. Hon James Stansfeld has been excluded
from the ministry there was no one In the
liberal government who could be relied upon
to advocate the cause of woman suffrage
and no one prominent in the party to depenu
upon.
The treatment to which the female en-
ployeS of the Aerated Bread company have
been subjected has just been published and
has aroused much public criticism. Many
girls wcrk sixty hours weekly for to 10
shillings, often in heated and badly venttl-
ated underground rooms. As the last divi-
dend declared by the company was 4? per
cent, small section of tho shareholders pro-
posed that the workers should also profit by
tho prosperity or the company ana receive
slight increase in their wages. The bulk
OF the shareholders were thunderstruck at
such proposal. They howled il down. The
chairman declared that the company could
get girls at half the price now paid de-
nounccd worklngmen in general for craving
for what was called leisure, aud complained
that pride III labor was iessening. The
Womens Trade Union ASSOCIATION has taken
up the cause of tho girls and pro-
poses 10 organize them for their own protec-
uon ana make things warm for the company.
Regarding the Monetary Conference.
Now that the membership of the none
tary conference is fully made up, it is evil
dent that the advocates of q single standard
are in tas majority. England. Germany
Austria aud Belgium VIII send delegates
having preponderance uf nonometallists,
yet the growing poisf IN London financial
circles is that the conference will effect some
arrangement. rhc talk formerly INDUCED IN
about the utility of the congress Is no longer
heard. The president of the Institute of
Bankers in his inaugural address referred to
the currency question as urgently demand
ing reasonable settlement. The duty of
the government, he said, to effect practical
remedy for the existing dinicuties could
never be met by theoretlc discussion. This
declaration has great significance as dis
tinct advance on the 'laissez faire" treatment
OF the subject. The attitude of tho English
delegates is expected 70 guido the decis ions
TO great degree. They have as
yet received no dsiplts instructions. 1t is
reported that the government is considering
suggestions made by influential firms of
Manchester, Liverpool and London to settle
the question upon q bRais Of reciprocal con-
cessions, the gold countries receiving silver
coins ana tho silver countries in return Civ
ing reductions IN tariffs. A leading EXPERT
on the subject told the Associated Press cor
respondent that reciprocity upon which a
silver coinage basis depended would be i'm
practicable.
