HOME RULE.
THE ULSTER QUESTION.
SIR HORACE PLUNKETT’S VIEW,
EXCLUSION WILL BE BITTERLY
RESENTED.
By Telegraph—Preaa Ansoci&tion—Copyright. (Received February 25, 12.15 a.m.) LONDON, February 24.
Sir Horace Plunkett, in a letter to the newspapers, states that an impression is gaining ground that part of Ulster may be excluded. If that should be done half the inhabitants of Ulster and 99 per cent of those of other provinces will bitterly resent it, and it is doubtful if they will accept Home Rule on these terms. Economic thought in agricultural Ireland has advanced so rapidly in recent years that the interests of manufacture and commerce would be safe though the rural would outnumber the urban representation in the Assembly. A group of Liberals, including Mr Hamar Greenwood and Mr. Eugene Wason, irritated by tho Prime Minister’s offer to modify Home Rule, gave notice of an amendment to Mr Falle’s motion calling on the Government to pass the Bill unamended and take steps to protect the lives and property of the loyal majority. ORDERS MUST BE OBEYED. THE ARMY ATTITUDE. General Arthur Paget, speaking at a Dublin dinner, said, “ God forbid that it should be my lot to be ordered to move north. . Many officers would hate the idea, but if the order comes they know that it must bo obeyed.” THE ULSTER VOLUNTEERS. MANCEUVRES ON A LARGE SCALE PROJECTED. “ Times.”—Sydney “ Sun " Special Cabloß. (Received February 24, 5.30 p.m.) LONDON, February 24. The Ulster Volunteer forces aro receiving advanced military instructions, and will shortly carry out field operations and manoeuvres on a large scale. The force numbers over 100,000 men. THE OBJECT OF THE VOLUNTEERS. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON, February 24. Sir Edward Carson’s manifesto, placarded throughout Ulster, denies that the Volunteers have been organised with a view to fighting fellow Ulstermen. Their quarrel is with the Government. The whole object is to prevent forcible submission to a Dublin Parliament.
