The committee stage of the home rule bill is not expected to be reached intil after Whitsuntide and will preb- ably occupy a couple of months even with a liberal application of the clo- sure rules, as the Opposition are preparing an endless list of amend- ments and will adopt every possible means to obstruct the measure. Curiously, the second reading of the home rule bill coineides with the dis- appearance of the word "conserva- tive" as the official designation of the Tory party. A conference of the Con- servative and Liberal Unionist par- ties yesterday resolved upon a fusion of the fwo parties under the title of "National Unionigt Association." Thus the Libera! Unionists who se- caded froni Gladstore on his espousal of home rule now will become part and parcel of the Tory party. . Andrew Bonar Law, leader oi the Opposition, assajied the bill fiercely. The Governmeyt, he s2id, was setting vp customs houses not to create a unign, but to destroy the union which already existed.

X demand so persicient, continoed the Prime Minister, was one which a mocrati Parliament in these days was bound to assent to. If the Irish vbte were eliminated in the House of Commons, there still would be a ma- jerity of fifty or sixty for home rule. Militia Reorganization.
