A FIGHT ON ASQUITH.

LONDON, March a.--The Govern
ment has gone to the limit In the way
Of making concessions to the Union
lists who are fighting Home Rule in
Ulster. This announcement was made
In the House Of Commons this after
noon by Sir Edward Grey. the For
eign Secretary. who spoke for the
Government In the absence OF Pre-
mier Asquith. The declaration OF Sir
Edward was notice to the Unionists
that II they do not accept the terms
OF the Government M to the situa-
ton In Ulster the Government will
proceed to enforce It's programme.
The speaker said the Government
had been greatly disappointed at the
manner in which Asquith's conces-
sions to Ulster In the Home Rule
negotiations had been received. The
provision by which n county had the
option Of holding an election. by
which II might be exempt from the
Dublin Parliament for six years was
the Anal limit to which the Govern
ment would go. He explained that
within the six years a general election
would be held and the people ut large
would have an opportunity to either
endorse or disapprove Home Rule.
But. OF course" said Grey. "if a
provisional government is established
the army must be employed"
He said that n federal system for
tho United Kingdom might very
probably be established before the
expiration Of the six-year time limit
allowed by the Ulster county -option
concession.
He believed that if the difficulty
was not solved by the introduction Of
the Federal system the country would

Of Parliament to transact Its bust

The Foreign Secretary's suggestion
OF a federal system was received by
the House with marked attention.

Fife. Scotland. the district he has
represented for many years. When
he announced his resignation yester-
day 1t was assumed that he would
have only the opposition against
which he has been signally victorious
In the past.
James Larkln. the labor agitator,
| who led the dock and transport
workers strike in Dublin through
their campaign last fall. has an
nounced that he will stand for cleo
