Irish Situation

NO DISORDER IN ULSTER. A LITTLE LIGHT-HEARTED PROMENADING. , By Cable—Press Association—Copyright , London, May 27. Fears of disorder in Ulster last nij»Ll. ■ as the result of national jubilations, i were not realised. Londonderry never passed a more peaceful night. There was a good deal of light-hearted promenading ia the main street, but everywhere, else was ijrjiet as a graveyard, ? but it was an armed .stillness. There was no rejoicing u'i any sort excepting a little band playing in a few southern towns. In Dublin one publie house was illuminated. People are more concerned with the Derby winner. The lack of enthusiasm is attributed to tke feeling that the end has not yet been reached. Nationalists fear that the Bill will be ineffective, except upon the basis' of a permanent partition.

Lord Dunraven, in a letter to the Times, says the only way out of the > Home Rule impasse is that the Government should drop the Bill and call an Irish convention representing all partics when the Commons are in recess to draft a new Bill. Ulster will then Jiave no logical excuse to refuse to contribute her ideas on Irish self-government. t A QUESTION AND ANSWER. f Received 28, 11.-15 p.m. - i London, May 2S.
