London, Nov. 4.-when Mr. Gladstone, soon after
taking the reins Of cIlce. held conference with
Justin Mccarthy. John Dillon and William o'Brieh
on Homo Rule, he gave them distinct impression
II not absolute assurance, that the forthcoming
bill Of the Liberal Government would provide for
full representation OF Irish members in the Imperial
Parliament. The determination Of the Irish party TO
retain al Of its Representatives at Westminster or
to have none at all made known to the Premier
as an absolute condition Of their acceptance Of any
Home Rule bill.
TN progress Of the bill in the Cabinet councils
during the present week darkened the prospects
CT its approval by the Nationalist Supporters OF
thr Ministry IN position 10 possess precise in
formation upon the subject say that the Cabinet
Is discussing favoaby clause to retain rish repre-
s~ntaton In Parliament. but to reduce Tee number
Of the members entitled to vote on Imperial Gn"s-
lions only from 100 to 70 under new scheme
Of redistribution Of seats. To define what Is
almperial question Is now taxing the collective
skill Of the Cabinet committee. Another point re-
garling which the Irish leaders are likely to come
into collision with the Ministry is the decision that
the Imperial Parliament shall b. a twothirdS ma
toritv have power Of veto on oil bills passed by
the Irish Parliament. The IIish Nationalist demand
tha, the sole right TO such bills shall be vested
IN the Crown under the direct advice Of the Irish
Minister'S The McCarhyites are better pleased with
amendments giving the Irish Parliament contlcl over
the police and the Judiciary, and the liberal pro
visions TO settle the land questions after the fands,
under existing purchase acts have been exhausted.

discussed at farmers meetings. The demands may
include readiustment Of the rates farmers pay foI

IN. treatment TO which the women employees of
the A~rated Bread Company have been subjected has
fust been made public and has aroused indignant
public criticism. Many hundreds of girls work
sixty hours weekly for from eight TO ten shilng'
week often in overloaded badly ventilated under
ground rooms. As the last dividend declared by the
company ~ per cent, small section OF the
shareholders proposed that the workers should receive
u slight increase In their wages The bulk Of the
shareholders were thunderstruck at such proposal
and howled 1t down. The chairman declared that
the company could get girls at half the price now
paid.
