London, Sept. 25th-At Belfast yesterday
Sir Edward Carson presided over Il Unionist
Council consisting of four hundred delegates,
at which the report of the Commission APP
pointed 10 draft Il Constitution for Ulster
was received and ratified. Among those
present were the Marquis of Londonderry,
Lord Charles Beresford, members Of Pmlia-
ment, privy Councillors and former lllsh
officials.
The proceedings were private but enthusi-
astic.
The published text of the Covenant which
is to be signed on Saturday pledges LOYALTY
to The King and declares that Home Rule
would be disastrous to Ulster, subversive
of civil and religious freedom and perilous
to the unity of the Empire. The signotories
are therefore pledged to defend for them
selves and their children equality Of cit zen
ship throughout the Empire by their refusal
to II cognize a Parliament at Dublin if esta-
blished and to substitute a provisional Gov
eminent, whose details are not as yet pub
lished. The participants regard the pro-
ceedings as the most momentous since the
days of the Scottish Covenant, the pc
pulnr support is apparently Indicated by
an immense demonstration at Ball ymena,
the Speakers being Messrs. +. f. Smith and
j. H. NJ. Campbell, members of Parliament.
Anti Home Rule resolutions were unanl-
mon.ly adopted, while outside thousands un-
able to enter Protestant Hall demonstrated
around boufres Some London newspapers
describe the proceedings as mere ''Circus
Bnnkum" designed to infimidate the Gov
ernment and the British electorate which is
rather curiously interested than alarmed.
The AngloRussian Bank announces a
public Offering on behalf of China OF
five million pounds, five per cent at
linety five, an equal amount to be off
cred later. This is considered to indicate
Clira's rejection of the six power loan Of
sixty million pounds on account Of the poll
teal conditions attached, whose stringency
China seeks to modify by independent nego-
tiations.
