Member from Ulster Proposes That
 Northern Ireland Be Excluded.

London, Jan- 1.-An attempt was made this afternoon to infuse some vigor into the home rule debate in the house of commons The members from Ulster proposed the exclusion of the northern province of Ireland from the operations of the measure.
 Sir Edward Carson in moving an amendment to that effect pleaded for serious consideration of the question, which might, he said, be vital to the success of the bill and to the whole constitution of the United Kingdom
 It was. he said, a question whether the house of commons had made up it's mind to drive Ulster from the con stitution under which it desired to re- main.
 Never, he concluded, without the use of force. could the Ulster people be compelled to submit to the degrada- ton of parliament in Dublin, which was abhorrent to them.
