LORD SALISBURY AT BELFAST.
AN EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH,
London, May 25. Tee Marquis of Salisbury recoived a great ovation aba public meeting which he addrossed in Ulster Hall, Belfast. There was an immense audience. He said that Mr Gladstone undertook a grave responsibility if he attempted to force his crazy scheme of Homo Rule on Ulster. Speaking at Belfast, Lord Salisbury f?aid the House of Lords would save England from the black and irreparable disgrace of selling the loyalists. The House of Lords waa impregnable as representing England and the Irish loyalist, and there was no power in the constitution by which they could override the resistance of Lords ; further, that while English and Scottish opinion kept up to the mark the accursed Bill would never pass. They mast avoid violence and riot. The country^ would never allow the insane eccentricities of a single statesman to cub bhe Empire into two. With regard to Ulater'B resistance to Home Rule, he entirely agreed with Mr Balfour. Students with lightod torches escorted Salisbury to the railway station.
