Shadow of Coercion.
HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. A CHANCE IN A THOUSAND. [Bt Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] (Received 8.0 a.m.) London, May 14.
Sir Robertson Nicoll, in an article in the British Weekly, states that the N*bncomformists demand a renewal of Ulster’s option at the end of the soxennium. This would give the Nationalists one chance in a 1090 with Ulster, whereas the shadow of coercion will provoke fiercer hostility. SEIZURE OF ARMS BY THE CUSTOMS. (Received 9.65 a.m.) London, May 14. The Customs authorities at Glasgow seized two cases of marked hardware, which had been shipped from London to Clyde for Donegal, and which contained 500 swords and bayonets. PROTEST AGAINST CONCESSIONS'. Mr Neil Primrose presided at a meeting of forty Liberal Commoners. Speakers protested against further Ulster concessions, and it was decided to deputationiso Mr Asquith and express regret that he had not prosecuted the gun-runners. The Irish Nationalists in Dublin are greatly dissatisfied with Mr Asquith’s amending Bill, fearing further developments of the exclusion principle. They declare that if the Unionists and Liberals come to terms for permanent exclusion,. Mr Redmond will be compelled to withdraw his support from the Government. PRESS COMMENT. The Daily Mail says it is reported that there is division in the Cabinet on the queston of concessions to Ulster, but the “peace party” is the more powerful. The Chronicle says the omission to reinforce the troops in Ulster ought immediately to he rectified, for the Catholics in Ulster run, a very real risk of a fanatical outbreak by armed opponents.
