Londen, Dec. 10. Amendments te
the Irish home-rule bill, mndc In 'the
Heuse of Lords during the last two
weeks, were ready for consideration by
the Heuse of Commens when It met
today. After the bill had been tent
te Jhc upper house of Parliament nnd
that body was found bent en making
material alterations in the measure,
Intimations were given thnt any amend
ments made by the Lords would be
stricken put by Commens, but there
appeared te be Benttment In some
quarters in favor of gettfg ns far. as
possible te meet any objections which
developed during the debate" of the bill
by tile Heuse of Lords.
There seemed te be a probability thnt
the reappearance of the home-rule bill
might be made an occasion for n debate
en the Irish situation generally. Lib
eral members have asserted thnt ac
quiescence by Parliament should be no
cured before the government puts into
operation such a serious measure as
declaring martial law ever a large
section nf Ireland.
