London, April 17.-The home rule
bill passed it's first reading in the
house last night by vote Of $50 to
266. Tho announcement Of the fig.
ures was received with deafening min.
isterial cheers and the waving Of hats
and hankerchiefs.
In the debate Andrew Bonar Law.
summing up for the opposition saw.
agely assailed both the bill and the
government. The people Of Ulster, he
declared. were ready in what they be-
lieved to be the cause of liberty and
Justice to lay down their lives. In
conclusion he said:
you will not carry this bill without
submitting 1t to the people. II you
try to do so you will succeed only in
breaking the parliamentary machine.
The bill has been introduced because
the government Is dependent upon the
Irish votes. The prime minister gave
a solemn pledge that he would reform
the house Of lords. but that debt Of
honor must wait until he has paid his
debt Of shame"

Criticism COMING Tn.

London, April 17.-While travellers
generally understood the fact that the
great liners do not carry enough boats
to accommodate all passengers and
the crew, to the general public the
news Is that all on board the Titanic
did not have chance of saving their
lives In this way came as a rude sur
era BILE agitation in and out of parlia-
ment on the subject.
The lord mayor Of London today
opened the mansion house fund for
the relief Of the families of the crew
of the Titanic and of the others left
in needy circumstances in consequence
Of the disaster.
A memorial for the victims will be
held at st. Paul's cathedral April 10.
Much Indignation is expressed In con-
nection with the publication of tele-
grams stating that the TITANIC was in
tow Of the Virginia just after the
news Of the accident was received.
Col. Charles e. Yate. member OF
parliament for Leichestershire. will
ask the president Of the board of trade
in the house Of commons If his atten-
tion has been drawn to the publication
of the kilograms. and whether their
origin could be traced.
The electrical control of the bulk
heads installed in the Titanic is COM

stated here. is the pet idea Of Lord
Pirris, who insists. on introducing
them in the ships built at Belfast, de-
spite the condemnation of many we'll

to the hydraulic power as being far

out that even small mishap Is liable
