IRISH PROBLEM

"ONLY ONE WAY OUT" AX ALL-IRISH CONVENTION URGED. (Press Association. —Copyright.) LOXDOX, May 28. Lord Dunraven. in a letter to "The 'limes."' says there is only one way out of the Home Pule impasse. The. Governmeiit. should drop t' ie al!( ' ca^ an Irish eon vent ion representing all parties when the House of Commons is in recess, to draft a new Pill. Ulster would then have no logical excuse to refuse to contribute ideas on Irish su]f-go-vernnient. Lord Selbourne says that if the Unionists were confronted with the dilema. "Will von have Home Rule with civil war or without civil war?" their clear dutv would be to say "without war.'

COLLISIONS EE A RED IN TYRONE. LONDON, May 26. Conntv Council elections will bo held in Countv Tvrone to-morrow, and the Xationnlists are reported to' be making desperate efforts to win control. A collision between bodies of the rival volunteer forces is feared. A thousand constables have been despatched to Ulster from the Leinstei counties, and 140 armed with rides and several rounds of * ball cartridge have left Belfast. The military forces are con fined to barracks in .Londonderry, and Conservatives are being urged to remain in their homes. FEARS NOT REALISED. LONDON. May 27. Fears of disorder in Ulster last night (is the result of Nationalist jubilation were not realised. Londonderry never passed a more oeacefnl evening. There was a a;ood deal of light-hearted promenading in the main street ; everywhere else was as quiet as a village crraveyaid. But it was an armed stillness. There was no rejoicing of any sort, oxcept-in gj a littl-s "band plnying in «i few southern towns. In Dublin one ■publichouse was illuminated. The peoplo were more concerned regarding the probable Derby winner. Lack of enthusiasm is attributed to a that the end has not yet been reached. The Nationalists fear the Bill will prove ineffective, except upon the basis of a permanent partition. N ATI OX" A LIST VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. SUPPORTED BY IRISH PARTY.
