GENERAL ELECTION NOT YET.
MR O'BRIEN'S GIBE
(By Cable.—Press Association-—Copyright.) LONDON, Slarcb 15. Mr P. H. Illingworth, Chief Liberal Whip, speaking at Bradford, 6aid there would be no general election until the Home Rule, Welsh Disestablishment, and Plural Voting Bills had been passed. Mr John Dillon, speaking at Newcastle, said he was convinced that a compromise was best calculated to secure victory. If the I-fiionists won the next election they could repeal Home Rule if they dared, or cut out Ulster, when tho Nationalists would renew the struggle with the Irish Parliament at their back. At the All-for-Iroland Conference at Cork, Sir William O'Brien stated that the Irish Party had accepted a modified Bill and covered itself with infamy. "Full speed ahead" was the order, but it bad swallowed "full speed astern," and now the rotten barque was flying for its life with its Hibernian crew waiting for an opportunity to throw their trembling captain overboard. Over ten thousand places have been opened in Encland for signing the British Covenant.
