Special 'abie Despatch 10 Tn, Srs
LONDON. May FIT Is expected tina
Premier Asquitf's chief proposal con-
corning ireland will be that the Buck
invham Palace conference held just he.
fore the war shall be resumed on I,
broader basis.
Alternatives o. inclusion or exclusion.
as regards Ulster will be discussed In a
more friendly spirit. 1t Is believed that
tho Nationalist will now make large
concessions to Ulster. perhaps even to
the extent OF Professionally excluding al,
Ulster in return for immediate home
rule for the rest Of ireland. and com.
hined with some arrangement with
Ulster. in return for Immediate home
Irish Affairs In u manner definitely cal
culated to promote a complete reunion
within a given period
The success OF the Buckingham Pal
ace conference might involve Important
ministerial reconstruction and a re-
modelled war cabinet might be formed,
with Sir Edward Carson and John Rcd
mond In II. It must be remembered,
however. that the two Irish leaders have
as yet no responsibility for the Prcmier's
contemplated steps. They arc COM
United to nothing
The four days conference At Buckinr.
ham Palace. July 81 TO 25, 1914. called
by ktng George. was one Of the last
episodes in the irish home rule con-
troversy before the war broke out. II
ended In failure, and when the las, ses-
sion had been adjourned II was Eel,
throughout Great Britain that the bitter
strife which had for months been
threatening TO disrupt Engiand's dones-
tic peace would bc famed into new
flame.
The war, however. interfered with tho
execution OF plans which are known to
nave been under way at the time for
concerted action 10y the ~malcontcnts. II
was NJ this conference that King George
startled the country by this passage in
a speech to the Irish party leaders
Tho trend has been surely and
steadily toward an appeal to force and
to-day the cry % civil war Is on the lips
OF the most responsible and sober minded
Of my people"

st"ns were said TO have been p~roductiN.

that the Ulster Unionists. with Sir Ed
ward Carson at their head. abandoned
during the conference their demand that
tie entire province be eliminated from
the control OF the Dublin Parliament and
expressed a Willingness 70 accept the en-
clusion Of six Of the nine counties. That
was AS far AS the tistcrmen wer. will

The finai oner OF the Irish National
ists. II is said. was to eliminate the four
northess;ern counties from the operation
OF the home rule bill and To allow tho
counties of Tyrone and t'ermanagh To
vote as counties on the question OF

Electric Companies Must Stand Elk.
pense of Rebuilding Tele-
phone Lines.

The 5000 rural telephone lines
won a victory over the electric lines
of the state in a decision by the state
railroad commission that telephone
companies now operating have prior
ity rights over future electric lines.
The commission makes this ruling
in granting a franchise to the Peter
son Power and Milling company, of
Peterson, to construct a transmission
line in Beuna Vista county. 1t pro-
vides that the Peterson company may
build its line, but that it must pay
whatever expense is necessary to re-
build telephone lines along the route
of the transmission line, so as to with
stand electrical disturbances. Under
the present type of rural telephone
construction, it is said that electric
lines put the telephones out Of COM
mission completely. Most of the tele-
phone lines now are known as
grounded systems, having single
wire. To permit service in the vicin-
ity of electric lines, telephine lines
must be metallic circuits requiring
two wires. The telephone companies
complained it would take $5,O0O,O0O
to rebuild. their lines into metallic
circuit lines. The railroad commits
sion. has decided that the telephone
companies need not stand this ex-
pense. The board says that If electric
lines want franchises they must take
care of the operating telephone lines.
