IRISH GET CONGRESS-
HOME-RULE PLAN TOLD BY LON
DON PAPERS.
Both Factions Taking Part
All Will Hold Seats.

London, July 1.-THE following are
the principal features of Lloyd
Georges scheme for provisional home
rule for Ireland:
l. An Irish house of commons will
be constituted by the transference to
the Irish parliament of IS members
now sitting in the English commons
for the 26 home-rule counties.
2. OF the 7S members to be trans
ferred to the Irish house 76 are Ma
tionalists or Independents, while two
are Unionists, namely, Sir Edward
Carson and J. II. NJ. Campbell, attor-
ney general for Ireland. They have
both consented to sit in the home-rule
parliament, and on this fact some
hopes are based for future amity.
8. Members of the Irish commons
will retain their seats in the English
house and will be seen there, as the
Irish body is not expected to have
much business TO transact at first.
4. Considerable representation of
of the Unionist interests in the south
and west of Ireland will be provided
through the nomination of their rep
resentatives to the Irish senate. 1t
is proposed that the senate sit and
act with the Irish commons during the
temporary settlement, thus safeguard
ing the interests of the UniCnists.
8. The temporary settlement is to
continue until one year after the
termination of the war. At that
time the whole arrangement will come
under the review of the great imperial
conference, which is to be held to ad.
| just the government If the empire.
6. The framework of Irish finance
in the home-rCie act will not be al
tered, but some increases will be made
in the sum to be transferred to Irish
revenues from the imperial treasury.
