FAVORABLE
TO IRELAND
Friction Existing Between Land.
lords and Tenants May
Be Removed.
DUNRAvEN sPEAKsHOpEFULLY
King Edward, Public Men and
Conference Report Are All
In Harmony on the
Question.

London, Feb. 2s.--The Earl OF Dun
raven in an interview regarding the re-
port OF the Irish Landlord and Tenant
conference In Dublin OF which he was
chairman, spoke hopefully regarding
the prospects OF legislation which he
thought would end the differences in
Ireland. Lord Dunrayen said:
The utterances Of King Edward and
OF British oubIic men, the temper OF
ireland, the reception Of the confer
ence,s report by the public and the ac-
ton Of the government since the pub
lcatlon Of the report are all favorable
indications pointing to the success OF
the governments Irish Land bill, which
II II contains just and generous offer,
will make good the first impression. on
which all depends. The bill, IL drawn
on the lines of the terms Of the report
will insure final settlement and re-
move the cause of friction In Ireland,
which Is acting unfavorably, not only
in Great Britain. but throughout the
empire and on our kindred in the Unit
ed States
Lord Dunraven replied to the adverse
criticism OF the report. saying that the
conference could not lay down a spe-
cific formula to be adopted. They
were obliged to deal with the matter on
the interests of~ths naticn ard those Of
the individual landlords and tenants
He did not think Chat the government
would be able to specify strict formu-
la which, II attempted, would confuse
the issue. The minor details Of any
plan based on voluntarism must be left
to the purchasers and sellers. The
conference only sought to formulate the
conditions under which 1t would be pos
sible to complete the transfer OF the
land within a reasonable period.
His lordship concluded by saying that
he did not think that the demand on
the state treasury would be dispropor-
tionate to the benefits gained.
