 Will Be Contested.

Charities commissioners and repre- 5sentatives of Skinner & Walker, archi- tects for the new Lsakeview building, are scheduled to have a conference to- of the contract, the amount to be paid to the architects for an advance fee
 The contract, presented at yester- days meeting of the commissioners. was generally approved but there was immediate objection to the clause call- ing for the payment of three fifths of the total archttectsE fee before ac- tual work is begun on the building
 By the contract Skinner & Walker are to get five per cent of the total
 cost. Three fifths of this, now de- sired to be collected before the begin ming of actual work, would total about S4 800. The commissioners are to make a proposition today tor the payment of one fifth at the most. If 1t not accept ed by the architects it ist expected that there will be no signing of the con- tract until it is materially changed, It may mean a holding up of work Tor some time.
 Although s175.ooo was appropriated for a new Lakeview building the conn missioners under present. plans, cx- pect that. it will be possible to build for S150, 900 and turn back S25,O00 into the city treasurer h the new building there will be provisions for extensive hospital facilities. It Is planned to treat many chronic cases there where now the regular hospitals are used at substantial cost to the city.
 When the contract was presented for signing, Commissioner John McLaren Richardson noted that there were con- ditions, termed by him sunfzar,' Pro- vision was made for the payment Of one fifth of the architects fee upon presentation Of preliminary sketches and of two fifths when final dravf1i sss and sketches were presented The commissioners interpreted 1t as mean ing that in the neigh borhood Of 4,6o0 would be collected before any work was begun.
 President Behrens and Commission ers Rfchardson and Judge were not backward about critieising the arrange nents. characterized the provisions as vnnfair'' and refused to affix their sig natures. The plan of paying one firth and the rest in quarterly payments as the work progresses was ravpred. May or Wilson will also be consultad The preliminary plans submitted by Skin ner 6 Walker were in accord ance with suggestions advanced by a Chicago ex- pert in alnsh0use work.
 The periodical complaint from Lake view inmates concerning the menu served there with references to meat was commented upon and it was de- cided to visit the institution tomorrow and see how things are going From time immemorial, similar complaints are received about having time and at other times of the year when there is work to be done.

ROBERTS FEARS FOR HOME RULE BILLS
 EFFECT ON ARMY
Contingency of Revolt Ie Field Marshal's s Reason
 for Opposition

q s
 London. July 7-The Houae of Lords pasesd the home rule amending bill on sits second reading last night by a vote of 27S to 10.
 announced by the oppositinn few days ago that the passage of the amend ing bill on It's second reading could not be opposed because the Government had promised to consider. some amend rnents to the amending bill in regard to the Government of Ulster during the period for which 1t is to be excluded from the operations Of home rule and the kind Of government which would fo1loIw this period
 Several Unfonists made speeches be- fore the passage of the bill. Lord Mil ner. advocated a referendum on home rule or a general election to ascertain the wishes of the people. He said among other things:
 The coercion of Ulster is horrible idea. The British Empire will not for long survive such a shock,
 Field Marshal Lord Roberts express- ed what he termed ttlle deepest ankle ty in regard to the effect the crisis in Ireland is bound to have on the army unless a peaceful solution Of the pres ent trouble is found.s' He urged the necessity of excluding part Of Ireland from the workings of the home rule measure or otherwise, declared, the enforcement of the law was certain to meet with armed resistance He con tinued:
 Tt is that 4contingency of a revolt against the threatened imposition of d home rule government upon Ulster, fol- lowed by an attempt to use the army to enforce it. that fills me with dismay. am more certain than ever that such a sequence of events would mean the utter destruction of the army In plain language the position is this: The army has for the first time in the mem ory of any one living indicated an un- willingness to obey an order under cer- tain stated circumstances.D
 Lord Roberts scoffed at the idea that the army was in a political conspiracy with the Unionists and said: I've are faced with a clash on principles, which raises the subject far beyond the realms of ordinary politics. The Field Marshal pointed out that discipline was an artificial bond, and said:
 ''If you penetrate deep enough into the depths of human nature you will unA fainngly reach in each of us a stratum which Is impervious to discipline or any influence from without. This Is conscience, an innate sense Of right and wrong, which neither reason nor refuses to shoot men whose only crime is their unconquerab1e determination to resist their forcfble exclusion from a community which they respect and trust.''
