 tCompromise Possible
 This is taken by officials here Gs affording Mir De Valera to accept a settlement of the controversy which uoes not involve republic.
 Further on in his speech, MT. De Valera quoted statesman who had advocated the principle of self-deter- imitation, and this to the officia! mind In Dublin points to recom- mendation by the Sin Fein cabinet to the Dali Eireann to submit the imperial governments offer to a vote of the people of Ireland.
 Meanwhile, according to the belief expressed here tonight, MT. De Valera expects the government to apply fur ther pressure on Ulster to enter the proposed Irish dominion while retain ing it's local autonomy. Advices re- ceived in Dublin, however, seem to show that the Belfast officials are less inclined than ever to come to an agreement with Dublin. Big Belfast business men are credited in these advices as being increasingly dis trustful Of the capacity of the Sim Fein in practical affairs.
 No fresh revelations are expected as to the course of the negotiations between Mir. Lloyd George and De Valera in tomorrows session when MT. be Valera will open the session with a report of negotiations.
 Remarkable Discipline
 Today's proceedings of the Dail Eireann were carried out with re- markable order and discipline. Not single uniformed man was present, if the porter of Mansion House, where the session was held in his gold braided suit is excluded from this category. few youths with yellow and green badges controlled traffic in the streets. Similar squads kept order in the chamber subduing cheer ing which was taboo. and only for getting to raise warning hand when such heroes of the Irish as E z mon De Valera and Frank r. Wafl and John J. McKeown and Michael Collins and other fighting men en- tered the hall or stood to sign the roll of mem be rship
 John T. Kelly. who was speaker in the first Dali Eireann and acted as temporary chairman today, delivered the opening address and also made speech in which he declined re- election to the speakership. He spoke in Gaelic, as did Mir. De Valera in OPSulnS tHe SSSSlOH.
 Professor McNeill, the new speaker, and the clerk also used the ancient Irish tongue.
 In other cases while the speeches were ope ned in Irish they ended in English, presumably out of consid- eration for numerous of the auditors having no Knowledge of Gaelic.
 There were many prominent per sons present in the audience and some notable ahsentees. Joseph DeV- lin, who was elected a member, was in town but he spent the day with old nationalist friends and did not answer the roll call. With the excep- tion of Mir. De Valera. who was elected from Down, and Mir. Collins, mem Der flom Armagh, all the other represen- tatives from Ulster absented them selves.
 An interested spectator was John II. Parneli, brother of the late Irish leader. an oil painting of whom was in place of honor over the speakers chair beside those of Daniel O'Conneil and other famous Irish leaders. Other persons in the assemblage included men we'll known in Irish life. few unionists, among them Sir Andrew Beattie, member of the Dublin cor poration, scattering of nationalists; Frank P. Walsh, who as guest occupied a chair to the left of the speaker. and Dr, Moore. prominent Canadian Methodist minister.
 Altogether 1t was a gathering with out frills, but full of earnestness.
