Hope that his words might form the basis of a real conciliation of the factions warring not Only Over Ulster but the Home Rule Bill As whole. In the streets leading to West Minster and in parliament Square itself every Inch was crowded from Early morning by sightseers and each member who was recognized was greeted with cheers from different factions of the crowd. The Premier s concessions Are in Brief Power for each Ulster county to vote itself but of control by the Dublin parliament for a period of six years. This was declined by Bonar Law for the unionists but there is a growing ii Ope which is believed not to be i without foundation that a Compro Mise May after All be arrived at. The Premier was at pains to Point out that six years will see at least two general elections in England and the counties which voted for exclusion can Only be included it the end of the period with the consent of the Imperial House. For the present however the unionist press looks at the offer askance and maintains that it is merely a tactical move. It is doubtful whether the nationalists will accept it but Hope is not dead yet. Via renter s Ott Iuva Agency London March 9.the House of commons was packed this afternoon and the prime minister was loudly cheered on rising to make a statement upon the Irish situation on the second Reading of the Home Rule Bill. He said that those who supported Tho measure were As convinced As Ever of Tho soundness of its principles and its machinery. Cheers they regarded it As an attempt at once sincere and considerate to base upon a solid foundation the fabric of Irish self government Ana they believed that if it were placed upon the statute books As it stood its practical operation would involve no injustice or oppression either to classes or individuals in Ireland. Cheers he emphasized the View that if he came Forward now with suggestions which if accepted would require sub Stantial additions and supplementary provisions to their plan it was not be cause the government was running away from it. But because above nil rings they were anxious that the change which was believed to of inevitable in the government of Ireland should Start under conditions of be Suec Lal staff coi-rebpontleuo0.v Morden Man., March 9.something approaching consternation reigns Here among those who have heard that the Krawchenko trial has been postponed. Apparently no official announcement Lias been sent to the court authorities As they deny any such. Information having been received. The Winnipeg newspapermen were informed from their respective City offices of the turn events had taken and the . Spe Cial press despatching staff was. Also informed from the head office in Winnipeg two of the operators will Goback to Morrow. The postponement will mean serious loss and inconvenience to Matiy people Morden who had made arrange ments for the reception of. The crowd that was expected to visit. The town during the trial. Practically All the grand jury men have arrived coming on the train from the West today. There Are also a. Good Many of the Petty jurors Here. These men Are mostly Farmers who at til is season of the year Are preparing for Spring postponement and consequent appearance Here after the Hagel West Lake trial would probably if the Kraf Chenko trial was a All lengthy which is taken for granted keep these jury men Here until seeding is under Way. These men Are extremely anxious to fulfil their duties before the seeding season is on and in fact their time is valuable now As All sorts of preparations for the sowing of the crop will have to be carried opt from now on. The hotels Here have made special arrangements to Cater to Large crowds for an extended time and the postponement of the trial will be serious the hotel men. Not Only the hotels but Many private families have goal to the trouble of arranging for the reception of the people expected to come. Think capita charge first. Public opinion in regard to a postponement at this stage is decidedly unfavourable. The people Here do not think the trial of a capital charge at a court where there Are no. Other oases to go on with should take second place to a minor trial at a court in Winnipeg where there is a length docket. The officials Here Are very reticent in regard to everything regard ing the arrival of Krawchenko. One Hitelman said that a postponement of a week would Post the province at least $5,000. Etta by wit Nesses would be on the move toward Morden tomorrow and inst f t the Ruymen would Likely go Back Home for a while. Another prominent Morden Man Unbe ing informed of the postponement said the attorney general s depart ment must Hae gone a Man from the West called to serve on the jury declared that if the trial were postponed for a week and then when it did come on. If it should last it would mean he had left a farm where he has 45-0 a res to be put in crop. At Home there were Only his. Wife and daughter and Green hand from the old country to look after Twenty four horses and As Many cattle. He believed that Many of Tho other jury men were in a similar Posi Tion and the postponement would be decidedly unpopular with them. Some of the venire men Are business men who have engaged substitutes whom they Are paying much More than they will get. They Are anti Oua two or three weeks serious loss to him. From the first that would the Best change of ultimate purity ensure Success. Hear hear what he. Asked were the dangers which Lay ahead which it was the duty of states a shop. If it were possible to Avert the one hand if Home Rule carried there was a Prospect of acute Dissen Sion even of civil strife opposition cheers on the other hand if at that stage Home Rule were to be Shipwreck r to or permanently mutilated or in definitely postponed there was in ire land As a whole at least a equally Tor moldable Outlook. Cheers real need for settlement. The hazards in either event were such As to warrant in All quarters not in Teea a surrender of principle but a apr Ach which could Lead to an settlement and it was obvious was no use in blinking the facts j such a settlement would involve " t he first place acceptance by the apposition of a Home Rule legislature.6jp executive in Dublin and on the.
