HOME RULE BILL.
A SHEAF OF AMENDMENTS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. London, May 12. One hundred amendments to the Homo Rule Bill will be moved in the House of Commons, urging, amongst other things, postponement of the measure until after the next General Election, adoption of a referendum, exclusion of Ulster from the provisions of tho Bill, and stipulating that members of an Irish Parliament shall not receive payment. The Right Hon. Alexander Uro, Lord Advocate for Scotland, speaking at Cambridge, said the dividing line between tho two great political parties was more clearly defined to-day than ho ever remembered. All danger of Ireland's separation from Britain had vanished. The Right Hon. Walter Runeiman, President of the Board of Agriculture, in a speech at Liverpool, said Britain had made up her mind concerning Home Rule for Ireland. The feeling against the proposal was mild antl half-asleep. Tho second reading of tho Bill had shown clearly that there was a British majority of thirty-one in favour of it. That, howover, was an under-estimate of the country's feeling regarding the question.
