IRISH HOME RULE
TO Be NEXT ISSUE
Liberals and Nationalist Will Work
in Harmony Under Provisional
Arrangement.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Home rule for
Ireland will be the overshadowing
issue in the next English election, ac-
cording TO an agreement that Is re
ported today on the highest authority
to have been reached between Premier
Asquith and John Redmond, the Ma
tionalist leader
According TO this agreement the Lib
erals and Nationalist will work In
complete union in the proposed refor
nation OF the house OF lords, in the
budget fight, and in support of bill
TO effect sweeping election law re
forms. After these measures have
been put through, the home rule will
be introduced.
There will be no possibility of its
passing during the next session as IL
is believed 20 per cent OF the Liberals
themselves oppose nome rule. but the
issue will be made the chief conten-
ton in the next election.
The election reform bill, If passed
as now drafted, will be Of immense ad-
vantage to the Liberals and Is counted
en- to keep them in power regardless
OF the storm of opposition that the
home rule issue will arouse. This
would insure the passage of the home
rule bill at the subsequent parliament.
Politicians generally deem the com
pact between Asquith and Redmond
the most important political agreement
Of recent years and most Of them are
agreed that 1t practically insures home
rule for ireland within few years.
Returns from yesterdays voting
show that Donald MacMaster, the
Conservative candidate in Chertsey,
who aroused much discussion by using
a letter from Ambassador Reid in sup
port of his protection arguments, has
been elected.
The district was previously Liberal.
The present strength OF the parties
IS: Conservatives, 257; Liberals, 243:
Nationalist, 70; Laborites, S9. This
leaves SO seats still to be heard from.

Judge Montgomery in his speech on
state affairs took the opportunity TO
criticize the present = administration.
Speaking Of the many appointments in
the power of the governor, and his
apparent eagerness to make these,
regardless OF his other duties, he said:

the governor OF this state to go about
seeking a man TO appoint to the office

He also limited at the facts that the
governor was taking too much inter
