ninth clau Sc of the bill, relating to the
constitution of the
Irish Legislative Body,
differs in one important respect from
the bill of 1886. The bill of 1898 pro-
vides that the legislative body shall con-
siSt of first and second order, but in
stead of providing that the orders shall
deliberate together as in the bill OF 1856,
it provides that they shall sit and vote
separately, thus constituting two dis
tinct houses of the legislature. Ii the
result of the voting brings the two
orders into collision, then the question
at issue is to be referred to a Joint com
mittee of both houses. If the question
shall still remain undecided through in
ability to agree, then the question at
issue may be referred to the people. The
new bill thus provides for popular
reference. The tenth clause Substan-
TALLY provides, as i'll 1886, that the
upper house of first order shall include
103 members. seventy.iive elective and
tWenty-eight peerage members. Inc
elective members are to be possessed OF

An important new clause provides that
103 members of the imperial parlia ment
from the Irish legislative body and may
also sit in the Irish legislative body if
elected thereto as well as in the i'm
perlal parliament. The annual con-
tributiOn of Ireland on account of the
