The belligerent minority Siias i'd
sired to seize the postofj1ce and Gus
toms house and conduct a kind OF
armed republic under marital ls~ hist
the conservative element ins Ulster has
overruled them. Belfast probably will
be policed by volunteers drawn from
four local regiments who 2 Will be-
known as the town gdard." The state
regiments also will furnish q quota
OF ten thousand men, fully armed, for
the second line fighting force,
A so-called special service corps
consisting of about 10000 men will
comprise the first line of flying COL

rush to any quarter Of Ulster where tn
nationalists defy the provisional gov

London. July 24.-Formal announce
ment that the Buckingham palace con-
ferences on home rule could not
bridge the narrow difficulties which
separated the Obstetrics and the Nat
ionalists on the Irish home rule bill
was made to King George today by the
speaker OF the house of commons, the
Rt. Hon. James Lowther, and to the
house itself by Premier AsQuith.
While the failure of the kings at
tempt to bring about a compromise
was we'll known Wednesday. the fact
that the party leaders Continued to
discuss the question at Issue ,kindled
faint hope throughout the country
that the deadlock might yet be brok-
en-. The definite fall OF the curtain
on the monarch's plan to bring face to
face the who are most fegponsf-
BILE for present sensational crisis
leaves the country In mood OF deep

NO one attempts 10 predict what the
next step may be. No one sees any
possibility OF settlement Of the dis
pute unless 1t be by the government
appealing to a verdict Of the Scountry
through general election and such
step would be considered generally,
not compromise but o slrrender BY
