ADMIRATION FOR SIR EDWARD CARSON. CABLED FROM NEW ZEALAND. P-r Press Association. Wellington, Last N,ight. The following is ft copy of a cablegram sent to Sir Edward Carson from Wellington last week:— "From knowledge both personal and derived from varied trustworthy sources of information, we are convinced that a large proportion of the population of New Zealand, including many Irishmen, feel that should the Home Rule Bill unfortunately become law, Ulster, with a population greater than that, of New Zealand, lias thsi absolute right to unconditional exclusion, and to remain directly governed by the Imperial Parliament, or to receive the powers of selfgovernment if she so desire, and that any attempt to coerce Lister is a direct violation of the very principle by which it is sought to justify the Bill. Your firmness and control of the situation excite ..arm admiration, and we earnestly trust thiit your efforts to avert a grave danger to-<hc Empire will succeed."— Signed by JofiitSi W.
