 The greater part of the morning ses- sion of the court was consumed in the hearing of pleadngs and demurrers The defendant. through his attorneys, inter posed demurrers to all the specifications of the state, but the court. after consid- eration, overruled all the demurrers ex- cept one.

PROVISIONAL HOME
 RULE FOR IRELAND Lloyd George Advances a Scheme to Secure Results TO UNITE FACTIONS Plan As Published Would Not Be Ob- noxious to Ulsterites, and Would
 Really Satisfy Majority of Those in the South
TO UNITE FACTIONS

London. July 6.-The complete details of Lloyd-George's scheme for provisional home rule for Ireland was published in the principal features:
 1. An Irish House of Commons will be constituted by the transferrence to the Irish Parliament of IS members now sit- ting in the English commons for the 26 home rule counties. (The total representa- tion in the imperial House of Commons is 103 of which 25 members sit for the six Ulster counties provisionally excluded from home rule)
 ?. Of the 7S members to be transferred to the Irish House, 76 are nationalists or independents, while two are unionists, namely Sir Edward Carson and J. H. M These two members represent Trinity col lege, Dublin. They have both consented to sit in the home rule Parliament and on this fact some hopes are based for future amity.
 3. Members of the Irish commons will retain their seats in the English house and will often be seen there as the Irish body is not expected to have much busi- ness to transact at first.
 4. Considerable representation of the unionist interest in the south and west of Ireland will be provided through the nomination of their representatives to the Irish senate. It is proposed that the senate sit and act with the Irish com mons during the temporary settlement thus safeguarding the interests of the unionists.
 5. The temporary settlement is to con- tinue one year after the termination of the war. At the time the whole arrange ment will come under the review of the great imperial conference which is to be held to adjust the government of the empire
 6. The frame work of Irish finance in the home rule act will not be altered, but some increases will be made in the sum to be transferred to Irish revenues from the imperial treasury.
 '. new lord lieutenant will shortly be appointed as a preliminary to the adop- tion of the new arrangement

 North of the River Somme we have resumed our offensive action and occupied last night a line of German trenches east of Curlu.

 After an intense bombardment, the en- emy last night attacked Belloy-en-San- terre and were able to occupy for an in stant the eastern part Of this village, but counter-attack by our troops brought the entire village back into our possession. The Germans are still holding their positions in a part of the village of Estrees. where the fighting has been very spirited. Every counter-attack against our positions has peen broken by our fire.
 .'The total number of able-podied prison CTS taken by us up to the present time exceeds 5000. The exact number of can- mons captured is not yet known In this connection 1t may be said that our army corps operating south of the River Somme estimates Its captures at 60 pieces of ar tillery
 "On the left bank of the River Mouse yesterday evening attack of the en- emy upon the redoubt of Avocourt was completely repulsed by the fire of our machine guns.
 Between the region of Avocourt and Hill 304 the Germans have delivered a strong attack. In spite of the use in great quantities of flaming liquids by the eremy, this attack resulted in failure and cost our assailants heavy losses.
 "On the right bank of the River Mouse the bombardment is continuing with great violence in the region of the Thiau- mont work and in the Chenois sector"

During his campaign in this state a little we a year Senator

nearly 800 letters to Republican newspapers throughout the Cnlon, ask

them even suggested tnkering with the financial Legislation MAJ

publican editors could not find a vulnerable point in the makeup OF the

secretary of the treasury. which may account for II al.
The Appeal can say, however, that the reading OF Senator New

probably anywhere else, nor does it any way express their sentiments
