TO CREATE IRISH COUNCIL.
Provision in Bill Formal Notice o.
Which ia Given

LONDON, February 15.-Following close
ly upon his announcement of the intention
Of the government to introduce measure
to improve the government of Ireland, Au-
gustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland.
gave formal notice yesterday that bill
ito establish an Irish council and for other
purposes connected Herewith" would be in
troduced. Thus is the liberal government
keeping its promise to the nationalist to
place Irish legislation to the forefront of
the present session of parliament.
The wording of this formal notice caused
no surprise, as it had been understood for
some time past that the establishment of
an Irish council was contemplated, but the
announcement yesterday was the first Off
cial confirmation thereof One of the most
difficult details which faced the government
was whether the council should be elected
or nominated. In the original draft Of
the bill an entirely nominative body was
proposed, but John E. Redmond, the Irish
leader rejected this as useless, and as
proposal which he and the other Irish lead
ers could not support:
The bill Of which Mr.. Birrell has now
given notice will provide for a council in
which the elective element will predomi-
nate A number Of nominative members
are retained in order to placate the lib
erals, who are opposed to an entirely rep
resentative body. 1t is understood also
that this council will have extensive ad-
ministrative powers, but It's right to legis-
late will be limited.
This feature has been accepted by the
Irish leaders. Nothing definite is known
as to the amount of financial control to be
intrusted to the council, but to satisfy
Irishmer,, this will have to be large. There
is no doubt that the powers now centered
in numerous boards controlling the admin
istration Of Ireland will be handed over
to the council.
The proposed measure was a subject Of
much speculation in the Hobbies of the
house of commons last night. A large ma
jority of the members are ignorant of the
Intentions of the cabinet and the leaders
who have been taRen into the confidence
Of the government are pledged to secrecy.
Speaking in the house last evening, Mr..
Birrell said the question of the restoration
Of evicted tenants to their homes was one
Of primary Importance, and brooked no de-
lay. He referred to the action of Lord
Clanricarde in refusing to reinstate the
tenants on his estates. and limited that it
would be quite justifable to take over the
administration Of these estates.
In conclusion the chief secretary for
Ireland pledged the government to take eff
fective measures to secure the reinstate-
ment Of evicted tenants.

Laying in Supplies Of Ice.

number Of the truck gardeners residing
along the river, in the District near the
naval powder magazine, have determined
not to be caught by a shortage of ice dur
ing the coming summer, should the Ice men
find it impossible to get vessels to bring ice
here to supply the demand, and they are
filling their ice houses with ice taken from
the Potomac. For the past three or four
days they have been busy cutting the Ice
along the District shore. and loading 1t into
big wagons to be carried to the storage
houses. The ice is said to be about six
inches thick, and is good and hard. While
II may not be good for use In drinking
water, 1t will save the farmers many dol
lars In cooling butter, milk and other COM
modIties for use on the table. Reports
coming from down the river state that the
farmers along the river have taken adj

something more than has been made public
he will have to oppose the request for the
removal of the superintendent. But the
governor has made no response to this.

publican senators are opposed to the re-

a view of having a working force at all
