ACCUSATION OF TREASON. LONDON, September 25. A conference act Belfast of 400 delegates from Unionist clubs and Orange lodges resolved to frame a constitution for a provisional Government for Ulster to come into operation' simultaneously with a Home Rule Bill. September 27. In the course of a speech at Portrush, in refutation of "the accusation of treason made against him by Mr T. Kuceell (vicepresident Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland) and others, Sir E. Carson, K.C., M.P., maintained that the establishment of a provisional Government in -Ulster, in the event of a Home Rule Bill passing, was constitutional. The Ulster loyalists did not intend to fight the army or navy, but if an army or navy under the British Government came out to displace them they would do so at their peril. The Government would ponder long before itdared to shoot a loyal Ulster Protestant who was devoted to his country and his King.
