IRISH HOME RULE
BILL NOW AWAITS
KINGS SIGNATURE
Bill Adopted By House of
Commons After Slight
Notifications Made.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The Irish
home rule bill. as slightly modified
by the house of lords. was adopted
by the house of commons Tuesday.
The measure now needs only the
royal signature 10 become a law
The measure is 90 be effective at
the discretion Of the government at
any time within three and a half
years. The government reserves the
privilege of applying the law when
the oppOrtune moment arrives The
home rule bill as il finally emerged
from parliament today ready for the
royal assent is not fundamentally
different from he measure the gov
eminent first presented. Months Of
discussion and efforts to amend in
both houses resulted in certain safe
guards being added. which it's adher-
ents believe will make il more &C
ceptable to the Irish people.
Two ParliamcntS.
Its critics. however, still maintain
that 10 Will not be accepted by south
Ireland.
The bill now provides that there
shall De set up by popular elections
two Darliaments. one for Ulster and
one for the south. Each parliament
shall decide upon the method of Sc
Letting senates. The connecting link
between them viii be the Irish
council of 40, twenty for each sec
ton. Each senate will select seven
of its council members, and each
parliament 13.
The original bill provided that the
president of the council should be
the lord chancellor Of Ireland, but
as amended. he will be appointed
by the lord lieutenant on the advice
OF the crown. which means that the
government IN power can put any
one at the hear of the Irish legisla-
tive body il pleases. The idea ex-
pr essed by ministers explaining the
bill is that the council will form a
bridge upon which in time the two
parliaments can get together and
form one body for the entire coun-
t'y.
