COMMONS TO PASS
A HOME RULE BILL
Leaders in Parliament Said
to Have Given Assurance
of Such Action.
NATlONALISTS REJOICING
Bright Hope for Local Government IN
Ireland, But it Means a Hot
Contest.

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Irish leaders
ia the house or commons have received
positive assurance that with the a=-

Of 1901, the government viii be prepared
10 introduce and push ~ passage .

be not accepted as Wiping out IreIaud's
grievances. but 1t viii be supported as
being the thin edge Of the home rule
wedge IL will almost undoubtedly be
thrown out by the house OF lords. and
then may come d dramatic constitu-
uOnal struggle between the lords and
the commons, with the possible inter
yention of the King.
Outlook Is Bright.
Whatever may be the result Of that
phase Of the fight. the outlook Was
never brighter than today ror the re-
allzatiOn OF the hopes OF those who
have struggled for Irish home rule.
The news of the governments plans
had gone abroad before pariiament
arose this afternoon for its summer re-
cess, and as consequence there was
great rejoicing among the Irish Nation
dllsts. Assurances have been privately
given 10 Mr.. Redmond and his COL
leagues OF the intentions OF the Camp
bell-Bannerman ministry.
Between now and next spring Dariia-s

session Of "a couple Of months. The.
danger point OF delay IN bringing for
ward the measure IS regarded as now
passed by.
Owing to the necessity Of the Irish
Catholic members bitterly opposing the
governments education bill, there has
been constant possibility Of a break
between the Liberals and the National

out a long and bitter struggle. The
Conservatives Will use every effort 10

that no one doubts his ability 10 force
