HOME RULE.

. MR REDMOND'S MISSION.

(Press Assn.—By- Telegraph— Copyright.) LONDON, June 16. Messrs John Redmond, Devlin and Scanlan have opened their Home Rule campaign m Scotland. (Received June 16, 10.15 a.m.) Mr Redmond, m starting lids Home Rule campaign m Scotland, declared that whenever the enemy spread calumnies it was the Nationalists' settled policy to follow hot-foot and dissipate the slanders: • After touring Scotland Mr Redmond proceeds to Leeds, Norwich and Ctixdiff. (Received June 16, 10.15 a.m.) Sir E. Carson, speaking at Leeds, said he believed the Premier was weakening. He was beginning, to see that ha could not keep his bargain. Why was Mr Redmond going to Scotland? "The tour,'" said Sir E. Carson, "shows that he and his supporters, just like the opponents, must be tried, not by the > judgment of a coalition, white-wa__hed 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 people on the subject of home rule, be compelled to come over and appeal to British electors against being, handed to the traditional oppressors. This was an age of consolidation, not disintegration.
