HOME RULE.

SIR E. CARSON FULMINATING. MR. REDMOND TO FOLLOW HIM. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, June 15. Sir Edward Carson, speaking at Leeds, said he believed the Premier was weakening. He was beginning to see that he could not keep his 'bargain. "Why, he asked, "was Mr. Redmond going to Scotland!" The tour showed that he and his supporters, just like their opponents, must be tried, not by the judgment of a coalition whitewashed Ministry, but by the people of Britain. Sir Edward Carson thought it sad and disgraceful that Irish Unionists should, owing to the apathy of the English people on the Home Rule question, be compelled to i.dk- over and appeal to tne British electors against being handed over to tl.eii traditional oppressors. This was, he concluded, the age of consolidation, not of disintegration. Mr. Redmond, in starting his Home Rule campaign in Scotland, declared that whenever the enemy spread calumnies it was the Nationalists' settled policy to follow hot-foot and dissipate the slanders. After touring Scotland Mr. Redmond will prpceed to Leeds, Norwich and Cardiff. .
