HOME RULE.

THE KING'S INITIATIVE.

ULSTER NOT BLUFFING.

London, September 13

The Rev. R. J. Campbell, interviewed, after a visit to Ulster, said the agitation there was in no wise bluff. He hopes that Lord Loreburn's suggestion will be carried out. Earl Grey and Lord Brassey, and Messrs Acland and O'Brien support the conference proposal. Newspaper comments on Lord Loreburn's suggested conference show that the issue is likely to centre on the question whether the Unionists will consent to some form of break-up of the legislative union.

SIR E. CARSON'S REPLY

(Received 5.20 a.m.)

London, September 14

Sir E. Carson, at Durham, replied to Lord Loreburn's letter. He showed that a serious-thinking man was lost realising the gravity of the situation, but there was no possibility of reconciling the Nationalists and Ulstermen. A conference must be abortive. Ulster would never abandon the principle of government by the Imperial Parliament. Outside that they would make many sacrifices to come to an agreement.

SUGGESTED CONFERENCE

(Received 9.10 a.m.) London, September 10.

Imperial suggestions are being made that the King should take the initiative in calling a conference on Home Rule if all parties are agreeable.

Mr O'Brien states that neither the Liberals, Unionists nor the Redmondites can or will refuse to participate if the King invites them.

LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. After visiting Lord Lansdowne, Mr Bonar Law has gone to Balmoral on the King's invitation.

SIR E. CARSOX AT DURHAM. Sir E. Carson, speaking at Durham, said Lord Lorcburn has underrated probable disturbances. There were not going to be spasmodic v riots. If the Bill were persisted in, Ulster was .gping to make government under Home' Rule impossible. It was the Premier's duty to save the King from the vortex and place him on sure ground by advising an appeal to the people.
