Nationalist and Unionist Claims
Can't Be Reconciled,
It Is Said.
KING NAY NOW BEG PEACE
Report He Will Send Message
to Commons To-day-Elec-
lions Predicted.

LONDON, July 23.-The concensus u
that the conference over the homo rule
situation Ia In a deadlock and that Its
failure IL inevitable. This belief is held
to as firmly by men Of all parties AZ II
a formal announcement no that effect had
been made. and the morning newspapers
announce It as fact. The deadlock
IL ascrlbed to the inpossibiltty OF recon-
Cling the Nationalist and Unionist claims.
John Redmond is credited with having
said that the Nationalist will not ad,
vance a step further In consideration
Of the Governments exclusion oher and
with having been particularly Arm in OPP
position to the Union.ste claim for
the counties OF Tyrone and Fermanash.
Sir Edward Carson Is reported TO have
stood with equal RICHNESS for a clean
cut" Of all Ulster.
The assumption Ia that to-day's session
Of the conference will be the last, and II
IL likely to be devoted to a discussion
OF the terms In which the failure shall
be announced.
Among many unconhrmed rumors Is
ono to the effect that the King may
possibly send a message 10 the House OF
Commons entreating all parties to md
a way to bring about peace
Two Cabinet Meetings Held.

held last evening In the interval between
them Premier Asqu,th and Lord Lans-
downe were closeted In tho Frontiers
private room in the House Of Commons.
This was a most unusual occurrence, and
the more extreme OF the Ministerial'sts
we're perturbed by II. There were many
private conferences among the leaders,
some Of whom also visited the Speaker
frequently.
The unionists continue 70 predict the
! early dissolution OF Parliament. while the
members of the coalition are equally con-
fdent The Government is determined to
| continue in power through It's full five
| year term.
Premier Asquithe assumption OF re
