WAR TALK FOR IRELAND
Ulster Organizing to Oppose a
Parliament in Dublin.
ADRBARY OUTLOOK FOR home RULE


The Unionists Ready to Resort TO a civu
Conflict in Case OF a Liberal Majority
Coming into Power and Passing Laws
for Irish Legislative Independence.
LONDON, April 2-The meager official re-
port given to the press after private eau
Gus OF the Unionists Of Ulster gave no idea
Of the warlike tone of the speakers at that
meeting. Knowing that their days are
numbered, as belonging TO the governments
majority, and seeing that the Irish parlia-
ment is the dominant fact Of the near future,
these advocates of constitutional order un-
der the Tory regime met TO declare civil
war in the event of a Liberal majority alter
ing the constitution
The war drum throbbing throughout the
speeches was, however, only family heard
in the resolutions adopted. The meeting
was held at Dawnshine house, the residence
Of Lord Arthur Hill, comptroller Of tho
| Queens household. All the Ulster members
were present except three. Some fiery

as buncome, and the prediction Of rebellion

Ulster delegates In the lobby gave the inn
preston of an intense hostility TO home
rule even keener than az the time when
the movement was organized. Money was
partly subscribed 20 arm 100000 men, and
Colonel Saunderson boosted that he would
respond 10 the call for a revolt.

In the meantime the Ulsterites plan Of
campaign win be a vigorous agitation in Ire
land and Great Britain, working up the
constituencies to believe in their menace.
