Mr. William O'Brien, Independent Nationalist member for Cork City, de-

Clares that Ireland would be saved from a quagmire if Lord Loreburn's proposals for a conference on the Homo Rule Bill were honestly accepted. He did not blame Mr. Asquith, as his hands were tied by tho Devlins and the Dillons on the one side, and by tho Welsh Radicals on tho other. He did not believe the rumour that Mr. Redmond (tho Nationalist leader) was weakening regarding the partition of Ireland. His party was still ready to co-operate with Mr. Redmond in generous concessions to the Protestants of Ireland. A LITTLE RED TAPE. "Times"—Sydney "Sun" Special Cables. London, January 5.
