THREATS OF CIVIL WAR
HEARD MANY TIMES
Lord Dunraven'S Motion to
Empower the King to Make
Investigations Passes Body
Without Enthusiasm.

London, July 1.-THE house of
lords today passed the third reading
Of the bill TO amend the Irish home
rule bin and sent II across 10 the
house Of commons for consideration.
In the closing stage In the upper
house, the Marquis of Crewe, the lib
era leader, took part In the debate
on the bill and indirectly promised
that the attainment of an agreement
in regard TO the elimination OF the
time limit by which the counties of
Ulster We're allowed to vote on the
question of their exclusion for per
iod Of six years from the operation
Of the home rule bill would not prove
difficult He said however, that the
area OF the portion of Ireland to be
excluded had been so greatly enlarg-
cd by the unionists that 1t would be
a vexed and critical question The
unionists, he argued, had failed "
find how they proposed to meet the
inevitable objections To exclusion of
the Roman Catholic counties Of Ulster
and their friends elsewhere In Ire
land.
Exclusion Absolutely Necessary
The marquis concluded by asking
for the exercise of patience and fore
earance and firmly hoping for
successful solution.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, the
unionst leader. reiterated that moth
ing short of the unionist amendments
could avert the Immediate peril that
was threatening He said this was his
explanation of the demand for the
total exclusion of the province of us
ter and he complained that the gov
efnment had given the unionists no
assistance whatever in the task of
averting civil war.
AT the suggestion of the Marquis
of Crewe the bill was read third
time without vote being taken.
Another Amendment Added.
Before the passage of third read
ing of the bill, the Earl of Dunraven
moved the insertion of a new clause
providing that the king might, by an
order in conncil suspend the operas
tons Of the home rule act until a
commission reported on the constitu-
tonal relations of ireland to the 9TH
er parts of the United Kingdom.
He argued that by means of such
a commission there would be hope of
creating a situation which might lead
some day to satisfactory final set
tlement Of the whole problem and
that peace might be achieved without
Adopted Without Division.
Lord DunraVens motion was adopt
ed without division, although 1t
aroused no enthusiasm. The Marquis
Of Lansdowne said il WAS vague and
open to the objection of putting the
whole empire into the melting pot on
the chance of getting the government
out of a purely domestic difficulty
Affairs in Ulster he continued, /
brooked no delay ard under no cir
cumstance would his side of the
house accept the clause as substi- I
tute for their own amendments. But
If these were accepted and incorpo- |
rated in the act there might be con |
siderable advantage in the proposed /
inquiry.
Purely Academic Proposition.
Lord Morley of Blackburn, in be- |
half of the government, described II +
as purely academic proposition,
brought forward at the moment OF I
the crisis, for which there was no
precedent With regard to the other
amendments adopted by the house of
lords, he said their effect would he
to embtter relations and increase the
difficulties Of a settlement. They
amounted virtually to an elaborate
method of rejecting the bill. 1t would
