Opposes six-Year Limit.

Immediately after the premier had pre-
scented his compromise plan yesterday
Andrew Bonar Law. leader Of the oppo-
sition. arose and objected to the six
year limit. He urged the dissolution Of
the imperial parliament and the same
sort of referendum for the United King
dom az tho government was offering to
the counties of Ulster.
John E. Redmond. leader Of the Irish
nationalist party. said his party was
willing to make great sacrifices for
peace, but the premier had gone to
the extreme limit of concessions. Al
though the Irish nationalists disliked
the proposals, still II their opponents
accepted them frankly his colleagues
were prepared to do the same. Other
wise 1t was the governments duty to
press the home rule bill with all the
Resources at its command.
Sir Edward Carson. leader Of the u.
ster unionists. declared Ulster will
not have this proposal, which means
a sentence Of death with a stay of exc
cution." In behalf Of Ulster he reject
ed the proposals, but said 1t the gov
eminent would withdraw the six-year
limit he would call an Ulster conven-
ton for consideration of the plan.

NO ONE PLEASED
BY ASQU|TH'S PLAN
Ulster Unwilling to Accept Ref
erendum With Six
Year Limit.
IRISH NATIONALISTS SAY
TOO MUCH WAS GRANTED
Unionist Leader Insists That Cues
ton Of Home Rule Be Sub
mitted to Country.

LONDON, March 1O.-The possibility
of a settlement Of the Irish home rule
controversy was again today in the
forefront Of popular interest. The opin-
ion of the various parties as to the ef-
feet of the concessions offered in the
house of commons yesterday by Premi-
er Asquith differed widely.
The unionists as a rule expressed
themselves unsatisfled with the sug-
gested method of voting by counties on
the exclusion Of Ulster or excluding
portions Of it from the operation of the
home rule bill. Nationalists. on the
other hand, declared that the cabinet
had gone to the limit toward concilia-
ton.
The Independent opinion Of the country
seems inclined to the feeling that the
concessions offer an opportunity for con,
ciliati n and this feeling is strengthened
by Sir Edward Carson's counter offer on
behalf Of the Ulster conference providing
the Limitation on the exclusion OF the
northern counties to a period of six
years be struck out.
Opens Way to Compromise.
It is pointed out here in parliamentary
circles that the recognition by the cabi-
net and the nationalists Of the principle
Of the exclusion Of the counties Of Ulster
II they vote in favor OF It. even II the
exclusion be only temporary. is great
step In advance from years. policy Of
full steam ahead" This attitude Of the
cabinet and the Irish nationalists, 1t is
argued, allows for negotiations during
the three weeks for which the debate on
the home rule bill has been adjourned.
King George is believed to have had
a hand in inducing Premier Asqutth to
make the proffered concessions. and 1t
tinuss his activity in this respect the
two parties may be enabled to bridge
over the differences separating them.
Two Stumbling Blocks.
The stumbling blocks in the way Of q
settlement Of the Irish question are the
die hard" unionists. who want a gen
eral election at any cost in the hope
of defeating the government and also
the nationalists. who follow William
OBrien and are opposed to any kind of
exclusion being granted to Ulster. It
is very doubtful whether John Red
mond, the Irish nationalist leader. can
carry the members Of his party any
further than they have already con-
scented to go in the way OF placatlng
the Ulster unionists.
Lord MacDonnell. liberal peer. who
was permanent under secretary for Ire
land from 1902 to 1908. said today that
the government proposals seemed to fur
nish a basis for settlement Lord Dun
raven, conservative Irish peer, expressed
doubt whether Premier Asquith's offer
would bring about q satisfactory solu-
ton.
