ULSTER WAR THREATS.

PARTY LEADERS ADVOCATE FIGHTING. UNIONIST COUNCIL MEETS. By Tclcsrraph—Press Association-Copyriiht (Rec. September 25, 11.5 p.m.) London, September 24. The Ulster Unionist Council, sitting at Belfast, has confirmed the Covenant against Home Rule. Lord Londonderry entertained the delegates. Sir E. Carson, M.P., and Mr. Smith, M.P., were among the speakers. The members of the Ulster Council have pledged themselves not to allow domination by men disloyal to the Empire, whose faith and traditions are hateful to them. Sir Edward Carson stated tnat Ulster wanted no separate Parliament, and would not' accept separate treatment from the rest of Ireland, as this would entail tho sacrifice of the loyalists in the south and west of Ireland.

Mr. F. E. Smith, M.P. for Walton, Liverpool, said there was no question of England betraying Ulster. It was wrong to confuse a great country with a small party. If there was going to bo coercion by the present Government the. resistance would not be limited to Ulster. The Unionists of Liverpool would not stand idly by while Ulster's liberties were usurped. Rifles would go off then if such an iniquitous Act were passed. ' "AT THE MERCY OF SWORN FOEMEN." London, September 23. The Anglican Bishop of Derry (Dr. Chadwick), in his sermon in Londonderry Cathedral, denied that Christians were bound to submit to a law sanctioned by a mutilated Parliament of one House. They were asked to put themselves at the mercy of sworn foemen who had openly declared that they would revenge in the hour of triumph. j APPEAL TO CANADIANS. (Rec. September 24, 11.5 p.m.) Mr. William O'Brien, M.P., is cabling to the Canadian newspapers suggesting that the Liberals ought to .satisfy Ulster that the racial conflict in Ireland is similar to that which once divided Canadians. PARLIAMENTS FOR ALL. London, September 23. Mr. Tim Healy, K.C., Independent Nationalist M.P. for North-East Cork, speaking at Cork, said Mr. Churchill was scattering Parliaments from Slcye to Ireland's Eyo (a small rocky island off the east coast.of Dublin); therefore Independent Nationalists were entitled to a Parliament at Cork.
