New York, Aug. 24.—John Redmond, the Irish parliamentary leader, I,’ quoted In an Interview printed here today as certain that Ireland will get home rule In the near future. After pointing out the defects In the Blrrel bill, 5Ir. Redmond Is quoted as say. Ing: "I think the government will intro, duce a measure following the spirit of the resolution which was passed by t great majority a little while ago—that the house of lords should be abolished. The government will, I believe, tran,. late the resolution Into a bill. Thla will be rejected by the house of lords. "There will be a general election by the beginning of 1909 at the latest. If the Liberals win that election by a substantial majority, the veto of th, house of lords will, I believe, be limited or abrogated altogether, and In that way the real obstacle to the pasug, of the full measure will disappear. Meanwhile we are going to prea, for and expect a bill amending the land purchaae act of 1903, giving compulsory purchase powers and breaking up th, great grating tracts. We Introduced a bill to this effect and carried It by lit majority last May. We are awaiting the action of Lord Durley'e commission, still considering the question, belor, proceeding further with the bill."
