Conferences Between Lead CTS of English Parliament tary Parties Expected
 to Be Resumed
tcontinued on Page EishD

London, April 29-A compromise on the question of home rule for Ireland seemed today nearer than it ever has been before There was strong belief in parliament tary circles that conferences between leaders of the two great parties soon would be resumed
 The House of Commons discussed the Ulster crisis again today when it wound mp two days debate on Austen Chamber lains motion for a judicial inquiry into the governments plot to crush the Ulster covenanters. The motion, which virtually was a vote of censure on the cabinet, was rejected by party vote of 344 to 2s4.
 The growing belief that civil war in Ireland is a reality which cannot be escaped if the present home rule bill be- comes law seems to nave influenced members on both sides of the House. as it has the newspapers
 Conciliatory Tone
 The press of both opinions recently has become more concilatory in tone than at any previous stage of the discussion.
 Sir Edward Carson. whose leadership of the Ulster rebellion makes him the dominating figure in the opposition. today accepted overtures made yesterday by Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, who invited Sir Edward to attempt to compromise the home rule question on a federal basis. Sir Edward repeated his offer that if Ulster were excluded from the bill until this Parliament shall determine other wise' instead of the six years period which Premier Asquith had offered he would submit the proposal to the people of Ulster.
 In his reply to MT. Churchills s invita- ton Sir Edward declared all he wanted for Ulster was terms Go conserve the dignity of the Ulster men and their civil and religious freedom. He concluded that in case the home rule bill passed it would be his earnest prayer that the government of the south and west of Ireland would prove so successful that it might be to Listers interest to join and form United Ireland. Concludes Debate 
 Premier Asquith concluded the debate. He declared his offer of the temporary exclusion of Ulster for six years remained open. A settlement he declared, could not be successfully negotiated by bar gaining across the floor of the House of Commons and the questions at issue could not be settled behind the backs of the men of Ulster or of the rest of Ireland.
 Andrew Bonar Law. the opposition leader, who spoke before the premier said the premier must recognize that some way to peace mast be found at any cost He continued: "If the premier
 does seek for peace, we on this side of the House will do anything in our
 power to make a peaceful solution pos sible.
 Arthur J. Balfour. former unionist pre- | mier said his public life had been de voted to the cause of the union between Great Britain and Ireland and concluded If. to avoid civil war. we must se up a separate parliament in Dublin, shall think it marks the failure of my whole life's work"
