HOME RULE.

THE VOLUNTEERS. By Electric Telegraph.—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, May 28. Mr Stephen Gwynn, Nationalist M.P., states that the Irish Party decided to permit members strongly to support the volunteer movement. He adds: ''Home Rule may be taken off the Statute Book unless the Nationalists are prepared to assert their determination by the same means as Ulstermen. T.P's. VIEWS. Received 0.45 p.m. LONDON, May 20. T. P. O'Conmr states that the Nationalists are willing to give Ulster such a strong political power as to make them masters of their own fate and armed against oppression in every form. CARSON'S OUTBURST. Sir E. Carson at Mountain Ash, admitted that within five hours there were landed .35,000 rifles and three million rounds of ammunition for Ulster but Government had not dared to punish them. The Home Rule Bill may become the law of the land but it would never be the law of Ulster. If Government imagined that the third reading was the last act in the drama he would tell them it was only the first act of a gruesome tragedy. The Daily Telegraph says Govern- j ment contemplate fixing Ulster boun- i daries by the religious census instead | of county boundaries in the exclusion j of Home Rule. ,
