HOME RULE BILL.
HOUSE OP LORDS DEBATE. ULSTER'S CASE. By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright (Roc. Jan. 31, 0.30 a.m.) London, January 30. The Homo Rule Bill was further considered in the- House- of Lords to-day. Lord Selborne (ono time High Commissioner of South Africa) said the Union of South Africa bore no analogy to the case of Ireland, because there was no Ulster South Africa. Thero was ft, caso for Irish Homo Bill, but none for the present Bill.
Lord Londonderry demanded to know the Government's intentions regarding Ulster. Her prosperity was entirely due to tho Act of Union, and the country could not afford to vest her great commercial and financial interests in Mr. Redmond's hands.
Lord Selborne said the Bill granted neither colonial nor federal self-govern-ment. It was unnecessary in order to secure an Imperial Parliament to create half a dozen subordinate Parliaments. The present Parliament was perfectly capable of dealing with the requirements of the United Kingdom if-relieved of the Navy, foreign policy, and Indian affairs.
