MAY GIVE IRELAND PARLIAMENT
Event Foreshadowed by Liberal Vie
tory in Britain.

6ySnt ToTeoHduoWco py Liberal ViG-
tory in Britain.
One Of the most prominent politi-
clans in England, speaking of the tre-
mendous victory of the liberal party,
said to the Associated Press:
1T Is useless to minimize the pres
ent revolution and we might as well
begin to take a new view of the sit
uation. In my opinion a parliament
sitting in Dublin may be looked for
within the next two years. Assured
ly John Redmond, leader Of the ma
tionalist party, and Prime Minister
Campbell-Bannerman have reached a
working agreement, and it is ineon-
ceivable that Mr.. Redmond would be
content with anything less than an
Irish parliament. l have no idea that
ration, and have good reasons to be-
lieve that plan is now under con-
sideration by which the religious ques-
ton can be eliminated from the de-
liberations of such parliament,
which would act under the imperial
parliament and at least try the ex.
pertinent of administering Irish af-
fairs under the conditions which have
changed in the last century,"
Within the last eight days the po-
iitical complexion of the United King
dom has been changed by the tide of
liberalism, which even now is higher
than the most sanguine radical dared
hope for. The new parliament will
be overwhelmingly liberal. Up to this
time the total number of members
elected is 4SO, of whom 247 are liber-
ais, ia unionists, 40 laborites, 7S ma
lionalists and one socialist. This
leaves 100 seats still vacant.
The liberals thus far have gained
no less than 1T seats, counting Ia
Dor gains as liberal or government
gains, and il the same proportion is
kept up for the remaining 100 seats
the liberals will have 407 votes in the
next parliament, to which may be add
ed those of AZ laborites, one socialist
and SO nationalists, which would give
Prime Minister Campbell-Bannerman
533 votes against 1877 for the conser-
vatives.
