HOME RULE & ULSTER
SIR E. CARSON'S VIOLENT SPEECH BEGINNING OF A GRUESOME TRAGEDY. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) LONDON, 29th May. Mr. T. P. O'Connor, M.P. (Nationalist), states that the Nationalists are willing to give Ulster such a strong political power as will make them masters of their, own fate, and armed against oppression in every form. Sir Edward Carson (the Ulster leader), speaking in Mountain Ash (in Wales), admitted that within five hours they had landed 35,000 rifles and three million rounds of ammunition in Ulster, but the Government did not dare to punish them. "The Home Rule Bill may become the law of the land," he said, "but it will never be the law of Ulster." If, he continued, the Government imagined that the third reading of the Bill was the last act of the drama, he would tell them that it was only the first act of a gruesome tragedy/ Tvhe Daily Telegraph states that the Government contemplates fixing the Ulster boundaries by a religious census, instead of by county boundaries, in the proposal for the exclusion of the province from Home Rule.
