Churchills motives in suggesting the OmlS-
sion Of Ulster from the Home Rule Bill, but
declared it was ineonceivable that the Union
lists would baseiy make Ulster a paWn IN the
party game, instead of making her excep-
tional position a ground for enforcing excep-
tlOnaI treatment.
Mr.. John Redmond, during a speech at
Limerick, declared that the Nationalist Will
not accept Mr.. CburchilPs suggestions. Ulster,
he said, is entitled to every safeguard, but
Ireland would remain an undivided nation
and his supporters will not assent to creating
a division between Catholics and Protestauts.
In conclusion, he said that Mr. Churchill errs
if he thinks Home Rule is repealable if the
Unionists are successful at the next election.
The Ulster Liberal Association has issued
q manifesto stating that 1T would disregard

Mr.. Lloyd George, in a speech at Bed
ford, declared that the British Land System
was a CHASTITY failure, less land waa cultivat-
ed than in other European nations, the ngri-
cultural labourers were the worst paid, their
scale of living was below TINT of the poor
house, and they were receiving out Of the
land twenty-five million pounds against thlr-
ty-seven million pounds paid to the parson
and the landlord. The landlords power,
he said, exceeds the Soyereign's aid the
power to desolate the land should be taxi
ell away. Game preserves should be rednc-
ed by two thirds and labour should be at
trncted to the land by a living wage and q
prospect of proprietorship. Instruction
should be provided in cultivation, and assis-
lance given In selling and transporting the
crops. The country should choose between
the Ian llold3 and the Iabourer5, 1t was use
less to tinker with the system, and he de-
clared that Engand's greatest monopoly
should be destroyed, he rate system should
be altered and the State should be given
power to acquire land upon terms fair to
both the owner and the community.
The ''Times'', commenting on the forego~
ing, says it was q torrent of words and vague
ness, and suggests that M embargo be laid
upon Mr.. George by his colleagues. The
Daily News" and the "Daily Chronicle
praise it family. The Unionist newspapers
say it is an anti-climax to the exaggerated
expectations industriously advertised.
New York, Oct. 14th-Despatches from
ST.. Michael, Alaska, state that the Russian
Polar Expedition, consisting of the "Talmyr'
and "Waygatch under the command OF
NJ. Wilkiteky, has arrived there, and reports
the discovery to the north of Siberia of an un-
inhabited and mountainous land, perhaps q
continent, whore they raised the Russian
flag and named it Nicholas the Seconl Land.
They cruised from one hundred aud four
degrees east longitude to ninety-six degrees,
and from eighty -oae degrees latitude to
seventy-slx degrees. They saw much ami
NAL life and estimated the land to be larger
than Greenland.
Major-General Greedy, Rear Admiral Peary
and other American explorers regard this as
the most important discovery of land with
in a century, but doubt the comparison with
Greenland.
Washington advices state that the Adj
ministration regard the Mexican situation
as approximate to anarchy, and will inform
President Huerta that the United States
will view With displeasure any mistreatment
of the arrested Deputies. The incident is
considered as of the gravest importance, and
although the policy of non-intervention will
remain unaltered, the naval patrol will be
retained, regardless of Mexico's permission.
None of the "Volturno's" rescuers have
rs yet reached port, and the wireless re-
ports give inadequate accounts of scenes
rivalling those on the '"Titanic." The crew
