GREAT BRITAIN.

OF that city offers to equip, trans
port and maintain in the field 10, 900
men to support Home Rule in Ulster
against any and all Loyalist opposi-
ton.
The Belfast papers publish adver-
tisements inviting tenders of $1,000
Snyder rifles and the same number
of bayonets to be delivered at An
trim on or before June 1st.
The Loyalists in Ulster, it is said,
will conceal their arms, fearing that
Morley, the Chief Secretary for Ire
land, will order the police to make
raids for the purpose of disarming
the people. A leading English Libe-
raj subscribed f100 to aid in buying
arms for the Orangemen Of Armagh.
Drill clubs are being organized by
the Armagh Loyalists.
Michael Davitt, in an interview,
declared that he would rouse the
members of the National League in
Ireland and America if Gladstone
yielded to Chamberlain's demands
for the modification of the home
rule scheme. In reference to the
opposition of the people of Ulster to
home rule, Davitt said, scornfully:
"Leave them alone to us. We will
make short work of these gentry.
They are not Irishmen, but only
Englishmen and Scotchmen who set
tied among us. 1t would be an
absurdity to allow them to dictate to
Irishmen how Ireland shall be gov
erned. The Nationalist will wage
war to the death against any bill
which does not subject Ulster to the
rule Of the statutory Parliament at
Dublin"
A petition 81 yards long, signed
by 10000 women of Ulster, has
been handed in at the Home Office.
1t is addressed TO the Queen, and
beseeches her to withhold her assent
from any home rule bill which shall
be passed. The first three sigma
lures to the petition are those of the
Duchess Of Abercorn, the wife Of
Bishop Kuox and Mrs. Henderson
of Norwood Tower, Belfast. They
represent respectively the nobility,
e.. the church and the people.
A large association Of Loyalists
has been formed in Armagh for the
purpose of arming and drilling the
opponents of home rule. The or
ganization has arranged for the pur-
chase of an ample number of rifles
at rs shillings apiece, and quantities
of war material have already been
obtained and stored. Several bodies
of men have already been under drill
and are exercising every day. Doua-
tons OF money have been literally
made for the support Of the Loya-
lists engaged in this movement, the
contributions ranging from flOO
downward. The Loyalists every
where hereabout express stern re-
solve to resist home rule in any
shape.
One firm of manufacturers in the
province of Ulster has already con,
cluded arrangements for the transfer
of its mills to Germany.
A great meeting of the opponent:
of home rule was held in st. James
Hall, London, Lord Salisbury, Geo
Hamilton, Lewis Ham, Of Limerick
Burey, Sidmouth and BrabOurnt
and many members of the House o.
Commons were on the platform.
Resolutions were introduced tt
the effect that this meeting repre-
scented the Conservative Associa
tions of the Kingdom, and that il
had confidence in the ability of Lore
Salisbury to maintain Great Britain
and Ireland as one united kingdom
and to guard safely the union ant
greatness of the empire. The reso
lutions were carried amid cheers.
Jshn ii. A. Mcdonald, member
from Edinburgh and st. Andrews
Universities, presented petition
against granting home rule to Ire
land. The petition was signed by
106,894 Scotchmen. 1t was on'
and one-quarter miles long ant
weighed 274 pounds, and was born
into the House on the shoulders O
stalwart attendants.
The Radical seceders will be con
tented with nothing short of regula
representation of Ireland.

the Aylesbury division of Bucking
hamshire, has written q public lette

rails alike to petition against tn
