 ular home rule bill now in Parliament
 has twice passed the House of Commons,
 has been twice rejected by the House of Lords and is now on the eve of the third reading for the third time in the
 House of Commons, from whence it will go
 to the House of Lords for the third time.
 As the two-year period will expire on
 May the closing debates on the bill in
 the House of Commons will begin about May 6 and continue to the final division on May 9. The bill is sure to pass the com
 mons by a big majority. If the lords re- iect it again it will be presented to the
 King to sign, and that he will sign it
 there is no doubt. From the time the bill
 is signed it is a law, but it may not
 go into effect for seven months at the least and 12 months at the most there
