The Ulster Liberals are issuing a manifesto as a counterblast to the Ulster Convention. Mr Lacky, the historian, in a letter to the Times, says the Convention is the greatest landmark in Irish history since the Volunteer Con vention of 1782. Lord Roseberry, in a speech, said he was unable to moderate his language while Lord Salisbury and others incited the God-fearing people of the North of Ireland to raise the standard of rebellion. The Convention was the echo of the Carlton Club, and not the voice of Ulster. The Small Holdings Bill has passed its final stages in the House of Lords.
