YEAR 81, NO. 81. Speech' of John Redmond Conciliatory COULD NOT TOLERATE EXCLUSION OF UISTER FROM IRISH PARLIAMENT Asquith's Speech in His Constitu- ency Looked on as Not Provoca- tive -- No Chance in Sight of This Being Opposed. London, April 6.--The final hours of the debate on the second reading of the home rule bill this evening in the commons were marked by fur- ther suggestions of conciliation and prospects of a settlement by con- sent. It is eéxpected a vote will be reached before midnight. The speech of John- Redmond, leader of the nationalists, was unex- pectedly conciliatory. "There is no length to which the nationalists will not go to remove the prejudices' of Ulster," he declared. However, 'while expressing sym- pathy for the federal scheme of gov- ernment suggested by Sir Edward Grey, Mr. Redmond said the nation- alists would not tolerate the perman- ent exclusion of Ulster from the Ir- ish parliament. Speech Not Provocative London, April 6.--"I do not re- gard the premier's speech 'as in the least provocative, but I can make no further statement until the meeting of the East Fife unionist association on Monday." From view expressed yesterday by Colowél Sprot who wag {0 oppose.the premier in the forthcoming by-election it may | now be safely inferred that Mr. As- EXPECTED HOME ROLE BILL VOTE BY MIDNIGHT the foregoing | quith will have a walk-over, since |. "Jim" Larkin announces that he will not contest the seat. The premier is due back in London this morning, | and, if unopposed, he will not return to' the constituency for! nomination | on Wednesday. * The Cupar -correspondent of the Telegraph states on authority that the unionist executive will decide not to oppose the premier. Nobody within the constituency tales excep- tion, to, Mr. Asquith's speech, except extreme radicals. Talk of Settlement So far as can be seen on the face, the pofitical situation is changed. There i¥ much hazy timism without, any apparent basis, Saturday's unioniat demonstration in Hyde Park did not equal that giv en, in honor of the nine labor leaders deported from South Africa, "fom weeks ago." Ht was almost\ wholly middle class Mdemonstration, the work ingmen being conspicuous by their absence. The speeches were as uncom- he only promising as expected. The Daily Mirror provides t political sensation of the day. Whilst all the other editors, are unanimous that all hope of an Irish seftlement has evaporated, the Mirror quotes one of the organizers of the Hyde Park demonstration as saying : 'We believe that the whole home rule question, so far as the present parliament is con: earned, has been settled behind our backs." The Mirror adds that remarkable rumors are in circulation, namely, that Premier Asquith went to Fife wit' guaranteds rendering a contest impos sible, which guarantees are the result of an agreement botween the front bench leaders that the unionists shall withdraw their opposition to the ex- clusion of Ulster for six years on con- dition that the government undertakes a large and comprehensive federal scheme, and that, therefore, there will sur un- op- fn SMOTHERED TO DEATH Nine Men Lose Their Lives in a Cais- son, Memphis, Tenn., Apri!
