ROSEBERY AND HOME RULE
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, March 13, 1S94.-A reference to
Home Rule made by Lord Rosebery last
night in the House of Lords, has occasioned
much comment. 1t is as follows:-
''The noble lord lord Salisbury has
made one remark on the subject of Home
Rule with which 1 confess myself
in entire accord. He said that
before Irish Home Rule could be
conceded by the Imperial Parliament, Eng
land, as the predominant member of the part
nership of the three kingdoms, must be con-
vinced of its justice. That may seem to be a
considerable admission, because your Lord
ships well know that the majority of Eng
lish members elected in England proper, are
hostile TO Home Rule"
