The success Of the Ulster Convention. held
In Belfast yesterday. exceeded the expecta-
tons OF its promoters. Tho thing was ad-
mirably stage managed. and the proceedings
we're marked by undeniable unanimity and
enthusiasm. Immense pains wero taken and
considerable expense incurred to get the
Convention well reported In the British press.
with the result that every daily newspaper In
England and Scotland publishes this morning
from three to Ave solid columns OF the
speeches and proceedings. As THE SUNS
readers arc aware. the Convention was ar
ranged In London by Tory wire pullers. In the
belief that It would prove OF immense service
in influencing the British Electorate; but.
after all. the Convention merely demonstrates
what was very we'll known before. that Ulster
Protostants do not want homo rule. and 1t is
open to doubt whether 1t was worth 30 much
to provo so little.
rrincc Ferdinand OF Bulgaria has left Eng
land without any public announcement rs to
tho progress Of his matrimonial projects. but
there Is reason to believe that an authoritative
statement which will not be pleasant to Rus
sia will be made before long. Tho Russian
newspapers have been commenting very
sharply upon the attention shown to Ferdi-
nand In this country. and one OF them.
tho well-known Noroe Trcn,vd. has declared
that Russia will have to make England feel
in Asia, her only vulnerable point, the neces.
sity incumbent upon her OF preserving neu-
trail attitude toward Russia In European AZ
fairs. Tho impression OF the men who study
Central Asian politics closely. because they
are always interesting. is that there will be a
row this year between the Ameer OF Bokhara.
the vassal OF Russia, and the Ameer Of Afghan
istan who is the subsidized ally Of England
The latter Is Just now engaged in chastising
insolent frontier tribes. work which Is pretty
wcl chronic with him. The lntest news says
that he had 500 men OF the Katzalbaci tribe
executed and their chief tortured and i'm.
prisoned. Afghan armies are not particular
about frontier posts and such like trifies. and
Bokhara may easily obtain casus bell.
The Archbishop OF Canterbury acted the
| part OF a candid friend at tho annual meeting
OF the Society for the Propagation OF the Cos
pei in Foreign Parts held here on Thursday.
| The society is nearly 200 years old. and its
work during two centuries has been based
upon the assumption that all religions except
| Protestant Christianity are radically wrong
and pernicious. 1t was somewhat startling.
therefore. to the good folks present at the
meeting to be told by tho greatest Protestant
dgnitary in the world that even pagan reig-
ions were not necessarily wicked. while as
for Mohammed anism noble characters were
formed under its influence men OF piety. JUS
tice and truth.
1T was not" said the Archbishop. "deliber-
ately ministerin. to pride and luxury which
| made NOLAN mechanism SO Irresistible a faith.
so impregnable citadel. SO immutable a
rock"
This remarkable declaration Is calculated to
revive public interest in the little NOLAN me-
dan community at Liverpool founded some
years ago by a local lawyer in IN obscure street
in that city. The community has grown stead
lily since them and now worships in mosque
OF its own building. Discussions threatening
| dissolution occurred among the brethren a
short time ago. but they have since been
healed. and the community now promises to
thrive sturdily in the bracinc atmosphere OF
persecution. Crowds Of men daily conGregats
in the nsighborhood OF the mosque. and annoy
| and assault persons as they are leaving. Not
| long ago female worshipper was assaulted.
We are told. In the most disgraceful fashion.
and this week the ndditi onal stimulus OF the
knife has been resorted to. with the result
that two English Mohammedans are in the hos
pital. The male member Of the community are
quito pleased Mt these signs OF popular interest
and talk OF extending their operations to Man
chester and Birmingham as soon as they can
obtain tho necessary funds. But as the
chronic stabLing. clubbing. and kicking OF
success OF the Mohammedan propaganda. the
Turkish Ambassador has been asked to let
his imperial master. the Sultan. know what is
| going on in Liverpool with q view to have
| checked the eNuberance OF the mob.
Prince George OF Wales last night took the
| oath and his seat in the House OF Lords as the
| Duke OF York. The galleries were crowded
! with progresses. and the noble Lords them
selves. despite the attractions OF Ascot. made
a goodly show. The Prince Of Wales and the
Duke Of Connaught introduced the youngster,
who went through the public performance
with much nerve and assurance. Tho func-
| ton Is simple The novice is conducted up the
floor OF the House by his sponsors. He shakes
hands with the Lord Chancellor and presents
his patent Of nobility. All being In order he
takes the oath OF allegiance. which Prince
! George did with particular fervor. and Their
tho signing Of the roll brings the ceremony
| to n close.
