LORD SALISBURY AT BELFAST.
(per press association.)
LONDON, May 23.
Speaking at Belfast, Lord Salisbury said the House of Lords would save England from the black and irreparable disgrace of selling the Loyalists. The House of Lords was impregnable as representing English and Irish Loyalists, and there was no power in the Constitution by which tbe Government could override the resistance of the Loids. Further, that while English and Scottish opinion kept up to mark the accursed bill would never pass. They must avoid violence and riot. Tbe country wonld never allow ' the insane eccentricity of a single states man to cut the Empire in two. With regard to Ulster's resistance to Home Kule, he entirely agreed with Mr Balfour. Students with lighted torches escorted Lord Salisbury to the railway station.
