IRISH LAND BILL.
Duke of DevOnshire Urges It's Passage
by the House of Lords.

LONDON. Aug. 3.-The Duke of Devon
shire moved the second reading of the
Irish land bill in the House of Lords to-
day. He used the same arguments in favor
of the necessity of passing the measure as
were previously uttered by George Wynd-
ham, the Irish secretary. in the House of
Commons. The duke declared that the gov
eminent was confident that the expendi-
ture of the S60000,Oc0 provided in the bill
would be fully compensated for by econo-
mics in the judicial machinery and the re-
duction in the police expenses. which the
adoption of the measure would render pos
Sible.
In conclusion the speaker declared that
the House of Lords could not substantially
alter the bill. as adopted by the House of
Commons, without serious risk of losing IL
altogether. The bill was in the nature of a
treaty or instrument of peace and although
il would be rash TO predict that Il would
prove final settlement of the Irish oues-
ton, any serious alteration would release
the contracting parties from the obliga-
tons mutually undertaken. Never before.
he said, had the representatives of the var
ious interests concerned asked Parliament
TO sanction settlement. the main princi-
pies of which they had themselves sug-
geSted.
