(Rcc. September 20; 0.10 a.m.) London, September 19. Earl of Dnnraven, in writing to Mr. William O'Brien, the Independent Nationalist, said Home Rule was inseparably collected with Imperialism Somo provision whs necessary for autonomy in the domestic affairs of tho Empire's component parts, and, thore.fore, it was incredible that Ireland could bo omitted. Ho advised the dropping of the Post Office and Customs from the Bill, ns they would be. only fruitful of friction. The Bill should provide for proportional representation in order to safeguard the minority. Tho letter condemns the control of tho Nationalist party by a secret society, whose authority is exercised -without a semblance of tolerance or fair play, and expresses the fear that the Irish Parliament will Ije dominated. The most substantial objections of tho opponents of Homo Rule will not be dispelled until this incubus is removed from tho party. HOOLIGANISM AT BELFAST. HOUSES WRECKED. (Rec. September 20, 0.10 a.m.) London, September 19.
