THE IRISH LAND BILL
Welcomed by John Redmond in Speech
Made at London.

London. April S.-John Redmond, the
Irish leader, made an important speech
at Dublin, tonight, in which he welcomed
the Irish land bill in spite of it's great
defects, as the first measure proposed by
an English minister having the avowed
object of carrying into effect the policy
of Parnell and the Land League.
He said he did not wish to foreStall the
decision of the coming national conven-
ton at Dublin. The latters acceptance
Of the bill would mean it's amendment and
its certain passage into law. The rejec-
ton of the bill by the convention would
mean that both Chief Secretary Wyndhan
what he was saying when he said that at
this moment the positions of the govern
ment of Mr.. Wyndham and of the land
bill were all weak positions.
He deprecated any mixing up of the
questions of land and home rule He be-
lieved that the settlement of the land
question would remove the most formid-
able obstacle on the road to home rule
but the suggestion made by some Liber-
ais that the Irish land bill should be ac-
companied by a measure of home rule was
dangerous and the suggestion was likely
to wreck the bill. He considered that Ire
land ought to be prepared to give Mr..
Wyndham'S attempt to deal with the
question a fair trial
After outlining the desirable amend
ments to the land bill Mr.. Redmond eX-
pressed surprise that there should be any
uncertainty regarding the reception that
Ireland would give to King Edward On
his coming visit. He was convinced that
the King was friendly to Ireland, and, eX
tude towards the crown were absolutely
debarred from giving His Majesty an Of
fetal reception, he would be welcomed
with every courtesy and hospitality.
