Mr. De Valera ultimately announced unexpectedly that he would submit the document to-porrow as an ameed

ment.

STORMY SCENE.

The Dail adjourned after a stormy sie in which Mr. De Valera denied departing one irta from the; position of the rep iblie, declaring that the reson why I did Lat go to London was in order to keep the soul une. Me. De Valeon's 'turo.tive proposals will be issued in Dublin to-night.

THE COUNTER PROPOSALS.

LAFER.

A Dia message states that the President of the Dail definitely decided that Mr De Valera cannot move an amendment to the treaty. He can only move ab, amendment to the resolution now before the fuil up proving the treaty,

Mr. De Valera's counter proposals are for a complete al eruntive treaty with seventeen clauses and various annexes. The clauses are largely identical to the cor.! responding clauses in the agreement sigued in London and the chief differences are the omission of the cath of allegiance, also all reference to Us:*.
