HOME RULE FOB IRELAND. THE LEADERS CONFER. tii Eleptbio Telegbafh—Copyright [Unitee Press Association-.] London, July 31. The loaders discussing the Irish settlement met »t Lord Haldane's house. Mr Bonar Law called at Downing Street in his motor-ear for Mr Asquith, and drove him to Lord Haldane's. There is much discussion in political circles as to whether the Government will prorogue Parliament or adjourn after the supply and non-controversial business has been carried. The Unionists claim that the truce prevents the prorogation, as Home Rule would then automatically become law. The Daily Chronicle welcomes the patriotism of Mr Bonar Law and Sir Edward Carson, saying the postponement of the Amending Bill is the only policy. RIFLES FOR THE NATIONALISTS. POLICE DECOYED BY RUMORS OF A COCK-FIGHT. EVIDENCE AT THE INQUEST. (Received 8.5 a.m.) London, July 31. Two thousand rifles for the Nationalists were landed at Dalkey, Dublin.

The missiles thrown were banana skins. It was announced that Harrel was not present at the shooting. Major Haig, in his evidence, said he asked four or five men who were protecting thp detachments in the rear if their rifles were loaded, and they replied "yes."
