PLANNING A
PARLIAMENT
FOR IRELAND
British Premier FavOrs Home
Rule Measure King Edward
Ready to Give Assent.
FRA MING PROVISIONS:

LONDON, Aug G.--The new Liberal
parliament has adjourned.
Besides the principal measure before
the house of commons, the education
bill, almost all the measures promised
in the kings opening speech either
We're passed or forced to an advanced
stage i'll committee. which will permit
their being finished at the autumn ses-
sion, when the government will propose
to appropriate all the time of the house
to government business.
1t is not to be doubted that the Lib
eral leaders propose to carry out every
pledge made to their Irish and Labor
allies in parliament. 1t is announced
by r. L. O'Connor that the next great
measure by Sir Henry Campbell-B Ban
herman will be Il home rule bill for
Ireland The government now has a
select committee framing the provi-
sions of this proposed act. A native
parliament will not be included in the
new bill. but county boards will re-
ceive broad local powers now invested
in the house of commons. The Nation
alists are wholly satisfied with Ban
nermans proposal. They regard it as
the final step toward absolute home
rule and recognize that the Liberal
leaders have gone to the farthest point
of legislation acceptable to the English
people.
1t is recognized that the house OF
lords will reject the Irish bill. King
Edward is known to favor its provi-
sions in a general way, and therefore
his influence may be counted with Ban
herman, Churchill and the other cabi-
net members The house of lords will
not surrender on this Irish legislation,
and constitutional crisis is looked for
that may settle the future powers of
the upper house. Discussing this fea-
ture, one of the Liberal leaders said:
THE new Irish bill will be sent to the
lords early next spring. 1t will have
the united support of Liberals. Labor
men, Nntionalists and Irish Conserva-
tiyes

ROOSEVELT, Aug 6:-One hun
dred employees, moulders and ma
ohinists, of the Wheeler Engineering

morning owing to the heat. The
mercury climbed up to 100 at 3
O'Clock and save for a slight breeze,
today is hotter than yesterday.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The mer-
curry went up to 80 here yesterday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock, the highest
point it has reached this year, and
New York thought it was hot enough.
The day started in hot. At $3.50
yesterday morning the temperature
was 73, which doesn't indicate cool
weather, and there was little wind.
Not only was the mercury high, but
the atmosphere was full of water,
which made clothes sticky. At 8
O'Clock in the morning the percentage
of humidity was "a, decreasing to ~
at pm. The wind, what little there
was of it, didn't move about great
deal, and when it did move 1t brought
little coolness and much sticky hui
midity.
Up in the highest buildings, where
usually, even in the summer, the
wind is cavorting around, there was
none to spare yesterday. 1t is usual
ly cool and windy coming up the bay,
but those who came in yesterday
said that the trip up was hot and
stuffy and sticky and discouraging to
those religiously inclined.
On Saturday night and last night
many slept outdoors. An old negro
down at Seventh avenue and Twenti-
eth street spent the two nights on
the sidewalk sleeping in a chair that
was tilted against the brick wall. His
family slept on the stoop. They
couldn't get to the roof of the house.
In spite of the manifest willing in
store for any one who dared to take
a ride on a train, the beaches were
literally packed with the throngs
from Manhattan. All day long they
lay on the sands and kept looking out
at the sea, trying to bring upon
themselves the hallucination that ii
was cool.
Five persons had been prostrated
with the heat up to midnight last
night in Manhattan, but no deaths
were reported.
