RULE. AN "UNTHINKABLE IDEA." (Received Last Night, 10 o'clock.) LONDON, January 27. Mr W. Redmond, in a magazine article, declines to assent to the postponement of Home Rule until England, Scotland, and Wales want Parliaments. He says that the Nationalists do not object to Federalism as an ultimate aim, but Ireland must have a constitution immediately. Mr Joseph Chamberlain, speaking at Birmingham, declared that it was an unthinkable- idea that the Lords would pass the Parliament Bill. It would be unconstitutional for the ( Government to, advise the creation of Peers to coerce them. Mr J. A. Simpson, M.P., speaking at Braintree,. said the Government's Bill was definite and precise. It did not involve the abolition of the Second Chamber, but submission to the deliberate, reiterated will of the nation.. The referendum had a democratic air, but involved Connemara peasants voting on English education. It would destroy the responsibility of members of Parliament and Ministers of the Crown. ,
