Show BRIEF TELEGRAMS Dublin. Had the Irish Natinonal leaders the ordering of the general elections they could not have resulted better to suit their plans. Practically, if not indeed absolutely, the Irish members hold the balance of power, and no government plan can be carried on without the aid of Irish Nationalist votes. This means that even if there should be a disposition on the part of the Liberals to go back on their promise prom-ise of local self-government for Ireland, Ire-land, and, and be it said there is no evidence of such intention, they could not do so without committing suicide. More than this, the closeness between the two exeat narties means that when the home rule bill comes to be shaped up, the Irish Nationalists will have a much greater say in it than they probably would have had if the ministry min-istry could get along and enact laws without their aid. Naturally, Ireland feels jubilant and regards home rule as now assured. New York. Another child murder startled the city Monday.
