Who crave TO know the gist of the Irish
,roposals, the draft of the bill which Is
rov IN type. Is known to contain host OF
lauses rivaling in complexity Mr.. Bal

i high informant describes it as. in sub
sfance, an application of the English county
auucl act. without adhering strictly to ex-
sting county areas. With a view to pro-

Where the Home Rule Comes sin.
As in England three-fourths of the men,
aarS of each council are to be elected by the
ate PAYERS, a portion of the rest by the
,aunciIors and a certain number by the
Irish executive The councils are to have

control Of licensing, the administration of
the poor law asylums, industrial schools

As an appendix to the bill is another
measure, transferring Irish private bill
business, now heard at Westminster, to
local courts A conference of Irish land
lords recently sent to Mr.. Balfour, through
the Duke Of Abercorn, demand that cler-

Gladstone VIII Be on Hand.
Mr.. Gladstone tonight wired that he will
raappear in the House of Commons on the
a2d inst. in time for the debate on the sec
aul reading of the measure. The Irish
leaders OF both groups declare their readi-
iesS to adopt what they can of MIR. Bal
tours proposals. but they also concur that
lhe bill will be found, in the main, impos-
s.be of acceptance.
An early result of the combined attack on
this bill will be the reunion of the Irish
Tarty, when both groups will cooperate for
a common end and faction will disappear.
The decision Of the Parnellite section not to
aUpoint a recognized leader shows that they
feel that the time for reunion is near

courts charge that Lord Salisbury's Exeter

AGE from Mr.. Gladstone's writings, which
saws: "To secure rights is the aim of
christian civilization; to destroy them and
establish the resistless domineering action
ut a purely central power, is the aim of
Roman policy" Mr. Chamberlain also
.uajed q similar passage from Mr.. Morlev's

Mr. Morley, in his reply, did not add to
his reputation. His speech was angry in
Zone. and he was evidently unprepared for
fh- attack. He made some good points in
1ae early part of his speech, but soon be-
came dGIl and confused While he was
speaking the number of members in the
Euuse gradually dwindled.
