It is learned that the discussions of the small committee of the Irish Conference, mentioned yesterday, do not resemble the proceedings of a mere sub-committee. It appears that the Premier yesterday, re- cognising the delicacy and difficulty of the situation, suggested that it would be helpful if negotiations were continued by the smallest committee possible, saying that his experience was that the larger the committee the smaller was the chance of a rapid devision. The Comference readily adopted the Premier's suggestion; hence at the meetings to-day pad yester day there were only two representatives from each side.
