-B} Telegraph— Copyrlght).
, DUBLIN, Thursday. The Free State Senate has made some important amendments to the Oath of Allegiance Remoyal Bill practically nullifying the . measure. The development will prohably involve a deadlock, by which the Bill will be held up for 18 mohths. The Senate, by 30 votes to 22, defeated Section II. of the Oath Bill, which repeals Section II. of the Constitution Act, by which the treaty is made superior to the Constitution and any legislation repugnant to the treaty null and void. It also rejected by 31 votes to 20 Section III., which amends Article L. of the Constitution by deleting reference to the treaty. Mr. Millroy's amendment proposing that the Bill should not come into force until the English and Irish Governments have reached an agreement, was carried by 32 votes to 22. The Bill has now passed the committee stage. The Senate's amejidments amounted to a technical nullification of the Bill and involve a probable deadlock, holding up the Bill for 18 months.
