DRILLING
IN ULSTER IRE.
GOOD PROSPECTS FOR MORE
TROUBLE IN THE EMER-
AID ISLE.
Sill MUST AWAIT SIGNATURE
Home Rule Has Stirred the Peo-
pie of the Ireland to the
Very Depths.

London, June 3O.-While there has
been a halt during June in the pro-
gress of the Home Rule bill toward
the statute book, it will make it's
third appearance before the House
of Lords on June 80. It is every
where accepted as a safe prediction
that the Lords will reject it with it's
usual overwhelming majority, and
thereby bring the famous Parlia-
mentary Act into play for its first
truly revolutionary part in British
history.
Present Bill For Signature.
Under terms of this act Mr.. As
quith, the prime minister who is
father of the present Home Rule
scheme, will present the bill to the
King for his signature. and with this
it will become a law. Unionist lead
ers have denounced this action as
"ccercing the King" but no one
doubts that the royal assent will be
given. So far as coercing is con-
cerned, no one knows they are King
Georges personal views, but the Lib
erals profess to belive that at heart
he is one of themselves.
Amending Act.
After the bill itself the Lords will
be called upon to consider the
amending act which will be intro
duced a a government measure.
The present prospect is that the
amending act will contain only Mr..
Asquith's first olive branch of six
years exclusion from the Dublin
government for those counties which
choose It by a referendum.
Home Rule For ireland.
With Home Rlue pending Ireland
remains remarkably free from the
fierce enmities and riotous blood
shed which have been the order Of
the day during former home rule
crises. This tranquility is not due
to the strong hand Of the British
government, but on the contrary to
the Irish people themselves who
have taken control Of affairs into
their own hands.
Two Armies.
The Viceroy Of Ireland. Lord Aber-
deem, the Right Honorable August.
in Birrel, the literary celebrity who
is Chief Secretary for Ireland, and
the Irish Office in London are mere
spectators Of events. While they
look on seemingly helpless, the real
power in Ireland is passing into the
hands Of two armed bodies which
have no official status, and which
exist in defiance OF. the law, These
armies are the Ulster Volunteers,
composed Of Ulster protestants
which have been forming for more
than a year and a half, and the
Nationalist Volunteers who have
been enlisted only a few months and
who have a very stro1g organization
in Belfast itself, and in other parts
of Ulster, as well as in the Catholic
counties OF the south.
N~ationalists Volunteers.
There has been a startling growth
of the Nationalist Volunteers, during
the last few weeks. 1t is not an arm
of the Nationalist political party,
for its leaders are the most radical
home rulers who are opposed to any
scheme for the exclusion of Ulster
from the projected protestants it
shows a wish for an under standing
with them on a platform for the
control of Irish affairs by Irishmen.
II reports from Belfast are true
the Nationalist members Of Parlia-
ment have become alarmed by the
power of the army, and are trying to
gain control by swapping it with
