SPEECH BY LORD LANSDOWNE
SITUATION FULL OF DANGER.
(Received Last Night, 9.45 o'clock.) LONDON. Dec. 4.
Lord Lansdowne, speaking at Glasgow, said Ulster was beihg sold, driven out of the Union, and put under the heel of secret societies, which virtually regulated Irish affairs. . The exclusion of Ulster would be a most unsatisfactory settlement of the Irish question, but the Premier's overtures at Ladybank indicated that there would be changes in the Bill, necessitated by Ulster's exclusion, and there also might be some extension of the principle of devolution. The Leeds speech, on the other hand, chilled the Unionists to the marrows. "Viscount Haldane," he said, "who is one of the finest artists in oil, endeavoured to calm the troubled waters, but the situation remains full of danger. Wo must be prepared for the worst." The Unionists of Ireland had no reason to desist frdm their preparations, and the Unionists of England would continue to give all the encouragement possible.
