The crowd at the station "booed" and cheered.
An Orange crowd carried Mr Churchill's effigy on a polo. Lord LondondeiTy and Sir Edward Carson are* at Belfast, taking every precaution to preserve ordei , . Tho marquee in the park is surrounded by mounted and. foot soldiers. The bridges, and tho Nationalist and Orange quarters are- strongly guarded. Mi' Churchill was accorded a rapturous reception when he rose to epeafc. H© said it was vital that Imperial and national Parliamentary business should be divided. The Government's Bill would fit into a general; scheme of Parliamentary devolution and ultimate Imperial federation. Protestant fears of persecution were groundless. The Crown was, able to refuse its assent to unjust laws. The Imperial Government would carry on land purchase and old age pensions. Irish representation at Westminster would be reduced.
Mr Redmond, in moving * a vote oi thanks, said.: "I accept every word of safeguard."
