RIVAL IRISH LEADERS.
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Pee Press Association.) Received April 5, 9.40 a.m. LONDON, April 4. T. P. O'Connor cabled to the New York Times that the Irish were ready to swallow nearly everything in the Budget in order to keep the Government together, but a section of the Cabinet was seeking to confuse the issue over the House of Lords. They were equally ready to discredit Mr Lloyd-George, whose Budget and personality'were equally disliked. Mr O'Brien states that Messrs Redmond and Dillon refused to join Mr Healy and himself in an interview with Mr Lloyd-George, in consequence of which Ireland lost a million sterling per annum. Ho advised the Government to omit Ireland from the Budget and defy Mr Redmond to oust them from office upon the pettifogging point of giving precedence to the question of the veto. Speaking in the House of Commons, the Premier denied having promised the Nationalists any kind of concession in the Budget.
