LONDON, Oct. 3l-The Government
offered Its amendment to the home rule
bill providing for the election Of men,
bers Of the Irish Senate according to
proportional representation schemes in
the House of Commons tonight.
The members of the first Senate are
to be appointed by the Government.
In introducing the amendment Mr. Bir-
rell, the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
intimated that It was intended as an ad-
ditional safeguard and defence against
the objections Of the Unionists. Tho
debate on the amendment then began.
Ramsay Macdonald. the Socialist and
Labor leader. astonishcd the House by
asserting that though he was utterly
opposed to proportional representation,
he was prepared to allow the expert
ment to be tried on the Irish Senate,
because Ireland. ne said. represented a
low form Of social organization"
Bonar Law. the Opposition leader. op-
posed the amendment on the ground
that It was utterly valueless as safe
guard
John Redmond, the Irish Nationalist
leader. gave the amendment lukewarm
support. He said he preferred a nomi-
mated Senate. but so long as the nomi-
nation idea was to be maintained for
the first critical five years he would
support It.
The amendment was carried by a vote
of 29s to 20s.

TWO NEW IMMORTALS.
Gen. Lyautey and Emile DOutrou,
Elected TO FIJI Vacancies.

Spectoi Cdbis Despdfch TO THE SuN
PARIS, Oct. 31.-The French Academy
to-day elected two new immortals. Gen.
Hubert Lyautey. Governor Of Morocco,
was chosen to fill the place Of Comte
Henri Houssaye. writer on historical

youngest Of the commanders Of an army
corps and represents the generation
which began Its service after the
Franco Prussian war.
He has served in many French COL
onies. particularly In Madagascar. but
II was by work in Morocco that his rep
utation was made. He was chosen by the
French Government last spring to as
sumo command in Morocco, which was
a tribute to him and a sign that France
recognized how acute the situation in
that colony was.
The campaign Of Gen. Lyautey in the
east OF Morocco is more sung than
any achievement by a French army in
recent history. 1t was there he won
the Legion OF Honor To him has been
fectly training for his country an army
of native Moroccans.
Gen. Lyautey was born in 1854. the
son Of Inspector General Just Lyautev
OF the Department OF Bridges and
Highways. He was educated In mill
tary school. became a lieutenant at "a
years. a captain at 20 and a major
at 40. He became a colonel in 1900.
brlgadier-general In 1903. and In 1912
he was made Governor Of Morocco.

philosophy in 1868 and a doctor Of let
ters in 1874. He has spent most nf
his life teaching and has held profess
sorships in many French colleges. He
has written extensively on historical
subjects.

Actual hostilities in the present
Balkan war began on october s with
clash between Turkish troops and

Up to that time there had been an
interchange Of diplomatic notes and
ult!matums between the Ottoman EN-
pire and the smaller States to the north
regarding reforms in the administration
OF Macedonia, where the Christian In
habitants were complaining bitterly OF
their treatment at the hands OF the
ruling Moslems
The Powers presented notes to the
various States in an effort to preserve
peace. but Montenegro. the smallest Of
the Balkan States. spoiled all the plans
of the Powers with a declaration OF war
against Turkey on October s.

the question longer than Montenegro.

TURKEYS FRIENDS DESPAIR.

VIENNA, Oct. 31.-A three days battle
between the main forces Of Bulgarians
and Turks forty miles southeast Of
Adrianople has ended IN the overwhelm-
ing defea. OF the Turks, II messages
from Sofia are true.
Not only were the Turks beaten. Bull
garian advices said. but they were in
full flight at latest accounts. With Bull
garian cavalry marrying them In the
rear.
Even Turkeys friends hero have
practically abandoned hope. however.
Yesterdays advices from Constantinople
gave some encouragement. but later de-
velopments reported by the Bulgarians
left little doubt that there were no
grounds for It.
Some Austrian authorities believed to-
day that It would be not more than a
week before the Bulgarians controlled
the Sultan's capital It was agreed that
'their occupation Of II would mark the
end OF ottoman rule In Europe. though
Constantinople itself. and a few square
miles or territory west OF 1t, may be
left TO the Sultan from which to ad-
minister his Asiatic possessions.
Confirmation OF the rumors that
Adrianople had fallen were lacking. but
authorities thought them highly prob
able.
Basing their opinions on the rather
meagre and untrustworthy reports from
the scene OF hostilities military men
here surmised that the Turks were now
penned by the Bulgarlans inside the
triangular patch Of territory bounded
on the northeast by the Black Sea. on
the south by the Bosphorus and the sea
of Marmora, and on the northwest by
a line of Bulgarian ,bayonets stretch

there was no confirmation OF it--that
