LONDON, June 15. Sir E. Carson, speaking at Leeds, said he believed that the Premier was weakening and was beginning, to see that he could not keep his bargain. Why was Mr Redmond going to Scotland? His tour showed that he and his supporters, just like their opponents, must be tried not by the judgment of a coalition, white-washed Ministry, but by the people of Britain. Sir E. Carson thought it sad and disgraceful that Irish Unionists should, owing to the apathy of the English on the Home Rule question, be compelled to come over and appeal to the British electors against being handed to their traditional oppressors. This was an age of consolidation not disintegration.
