ULSTER'S FIGHT.

BONAR LAW'S ADVICE. URGES RESISTANCE, LIBERAL POLICY DECLARED A BLUFF, WILD SCENES IN DUBLIN. By Telegraph—Press Aosociatlon—OopyrißM (Ree. November 30, 5.5 p.m.) London, November 29. ■ , ' Laiv (Leader of tho Unionist party) received a tremendous ovation from four thousand people at tile Iheatie Hoyal, Dublin, each waving a union Jack. An overflow meeting was necessary, and, there wero turbulent scenes outside. A woman was sent to the Hospital with a broken nose, from a bullet wound. The crowd bent a man when leaving the theatre, dragged him oil' a train-car, and iurthor ui-treatcd him. Ihe police presented another crowd, largely students, irom approaching tho theatre. The students thereupon marched to Kuthmd SciUiirc and smashed the Catholic Cemeteries Committee's windows, mistaking the place for the Orange Lodge next door. Mr. Bonar Law, 111 his speech, interpreted the contrast of the Ladybank and Leeds speeches of the Prime Minister as showing, besides a bargain with the Nationalists, the existence'of written evidence which would damn them evermore if disclosed. Helming to Mr. Lloyd-George's admission that- the Insurance Biil was forced through when lie Knew that if it were referred to the people it would bo rejected. 110 (Mr. Bonar Law) asked whether tho Government was doing tho same with Homo itule. 'the Government, imprisoned Lar--Icm to pleas? the Nationalists and releasod him to please tlm English So. cinitsts. If the Government really bc-t'loinseH-oa entitled to pass tho Lid, they showed criminal weakness in nJowing the Lister organisation to nnntimio. Lhoy were aware, however, that any attempt to arrest Sir Edward Carson would'show how deeply in earnest Lister is. Perhaps it would be said that he was endangering Sir Edward Carson's liberty, without risking his own, but he was ready to give the Government the _rigiit to prosecute him also. The Unionist:; wero still ready to consider any proposal to avert civil war. lie thought, that Sr. Asquith desired and saw prospect of a settlement, out tho Leeds speech implied that Mr. Redmond had given orders. If tho Government attempted to coerco Ulster before tho election, Ulster would do well to resist and tho Unionists would support resistance. His candid opinion was that tho Government intended to bluff until tiio last, and then climb down. He said that Mr. Asouith had accepted Mr. Redmond's order: "Full sleam ahead," and the Unionists, therefore, wero prewired to moot iiim and beat him. mooting, which was organised by the Unionists received this declaration with cheers, the company standing and waving handkerchiefs.

WHEN PARLIAMENT* MEETS. RECONSTRUCTION OF LORDS. (Rec. November 30, 5.5 p.m.) London, November 29. Parliament - meets in ilio week coinmcncing January IS, when resolutions regarding the reconstruction of tho House of Lords will be introduced. An autumn session is foreshadowed. GENERAL ELECTION DEMANDED, LomSon, November 28. M!•,_ Bonar Law (Leadov oi" tlio Unionist party), speaking at Dublin today, insisted that tho Unionists were opposed-as completely as ever to the whnle Hloji of any separation from tlio United Kingdom, and demanded a general election. The Manchester "G'uard.au" (Liberal) advises tho Government not to let the last- hours run out before it makes up its mind as to the lines on which its suggestions -regarding Ulster may proceed. Liberals are j;ot prepared to go to the full length of ascertaining tho nation's authority unless they are perfectly sure that all the resources of statesmanship havo been exhausted. Unionist nowspuners view grnvelv the "full steam ahead" speech of the Primo Minister (Mr. Asonith), who stated at Leeds that Home- Rule was the first and most- urgent stop of a free Imperial Parliament, constituted for purely Imperial concerns.
