Thus far there has been no agreement for extension of the truce. ‘The truce still remained in effect and no immediate resumption of hos tilities 1s looked for. The Sinn Fein delegates visited Downing street at 3 o'clock this after- noon. It is understood they conferred with the government representatives concerning the question of continuing the truce.
