HOME RULE.

WAR OFFICE INQUIRIES. MR. REDMOND'S PREDICTION WIIX TAKE IT QUIETLY. (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, January 19. The fact that the War Office has been making inquiries of Belfast carriers for the first use of their horses in the event of W3j- has led to rumours that the ceovernment aimed at hampering Ulster's resistance. The owners of the horses stipulated that the animals would not be used against Ulster. LONDON, January 19. The Archbishop of York, in a sermon at Edinburgh, referred to the Home Rule question. He said the sands were running out, and possibly civil war was drawing near. Only' a resolute determination to seek peace could prevent the calamity. No settlement was possible unless it found room for the two great and true principles of nationality on the one hand, and union in the wider nation on the other. SYDNEY, this day. Mr. William Redmond, M.P., speaking at Bathurst, and referring to Mr. Bonar Law's statement that the Unionists had pledged their support to Ulster in the event of civil -war, predicted that though there might be some turbulence and rioting such as had been seen in the past, the people of Ulster in the end would settle down to Home Rule. The Liberal party was willing to make any reasonable concessions,-but neither Mr. Asquith nor the leader of the Nationalist party would allow themselves to be intimidated by threats.
