HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.
SPEECH BY LORD SALISBURY.
London, May 7. The Marquis of Salisbury delivered an impassioned harangue to the members of the Primrose League, on behalf of the people of Ulster, in the course ot which he said they dreaded being pub under the feet ot their hereditary and irreconcileableenetnies. The language of the Ulster leaders was one of the most menacing symptoms, and the situation was such thab any attempt to.employ military power by England to keep Ulster under the rule of Archbishop Walsh would rend society, as Home Rule was nob a message of peace, but of religious civil war, and such a hideous picture could not become a reality without enfeebling the credit and power of England throughout the world. Parliament, he said, had a right to govern Ulster, and no right to sell the people inbo slavery. In connection with the Anti-Home Rule Conference in Belfast, a hall capable of holding 10,000 is to be erecbed.
