IRISH LAND BILL PASSED
wYNDHAMs AMENDMENT ADOPTED
By THE COMMONS AMID CHEERS.
1t Saved the Measure, John Redmond
Said-SOns of Erin and Everybody
Seemingly Well Pleased.

LONDON, June 24.-The Irish land bill
passed the third reading in the House of
Commons tonight. The debate tonight
might be termed love feast Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland Wyndham introduced his
amendment. which is designed to remove
the difficulty in regard to the retention in
one clause of q provision for a minimum
price at which tenants may purchase their
holdings and permitting bargains to be
made outside of the judicial zones. John
Redmond. the Irish leader. declared that
Mr.. Wyndham had saved the bill, and the
amendment was agreed to amid cheers and
general congratulations. Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman. the Liberal leader, Joined
in the congratulations on the spirit of con-
ciliation prevailing, and, the dangerous
clause out, the bill was adopted without di-
vision. Later Mr.. Wyndham agreed to an
extension of the limit of the advances to be
made to purchasers of agricultural farms
from $4,000 to $4,000.
William O'Brien presented an amend
ment putting the evicted tenants on an
equality with the existing tenants He de-
clared that the clause as it stood looked
like a deliberate policy of vengeance to-
wards the evicted tenants, and the accept
ance of the amendment would be a mes
sage to Ireland. Mr.. Wyndham promised
to deal with the evicted tenants under
Clause As. and said he would double the
amount of the advance that the evicted
tenants could get. Mr.. Redmond said the
advance to the tenants was satisfactory
but the rejection of his amendment would
leave sore spot and initiate against the
working of the bill. Clause 2. which dealt
with advances to tenants, was then passed
In the discussion of Clause 3, which pro-
vides for advances to owners selling their
estates, T. p. OConnor moved TO exclude
nonresident landlords from the benefits of
the bill, but the amendment was subse-
quently withdrawn Other amendments
were offered and afterwards withdrawn
Clause was then adopted and the House
shortly before midnight rose. Soon after
wards the bill was passed.
