ULSTER COVENANTERS
VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT

Belfast, July 4.-The leaders Of the
Covenanters in Uluster profess to con-
slider the Nationalist volunteer move
ment as something not to be taken
seriously. These Nationalist bands in
the Ulster counties drill spasmodi-
cally and are not connected with any
central organization. All the local
leaders act entirely on their own
initiative. In some districts the vol
unteers are split into faction under
opposing leaders, who carry on a
newspaper warfare.
The Ulster leaders say that the Ma
tionalist volunteers must fail through
the impossibility Of getting arms.
They claim to have many letters from
America showing that the Irish there
are tired of contributing to Home
Rule. and now that thew consider an
Irish parliament assured, they pro-
pose to let those in Ireland settle
their internal questions without help.
Even IL American sympathizers should
refill the war chest the present gov

Meantime the volunteers, saturated
with the military spirit are becoming
impatient. Some battalions have sent
Populations of officers to headquar-

bold spirits quiet is increasingly diff

out a plan of campaign for hostilities.
1t is not likely that they will attempt
to use this citizen force against train
ed regulars with heavy guns. for as
one officer remarked, the most they
could expect would be to put up one
good fight and be cut to pieces. The
present plans are to keep the Ulster
Nationalist in check when the pro-
visional government is set up.
Most of the Belfast volunteers are
being formed into four regiments
known as the Belfast Division which
will act as q police force. A flying
column composed of $500 picked and
paid volunteers, a majority of whom
are old soldiers, has been organized
as first line striking force with mo-
tor transport capable of conveying it
to any part of Ulster in four hours.
This force is armed throughout with
new Mausers and possesses ten Max
inns of the latest pattern. Certain
county regiments, especially those of
Antrim and Armagh, would go on ac-
tive service with this column, while
other county regiments including Lon
donderry must remain at home to sup
press the Nationalists.
If the provisional government were
established the flying column would be
sent to Londonderry where the Ma
tionalists are strongest, while thf

By Explosion, the Force of
Which Also Wrecked Windows
In Farnham House and An
other House Near By
EXPLOSION BELIEVED TO
BE DUE TO DYNAMITE
Thought to Have Been Due to
Other Motive Than Patriotism
Matter Reported to Police,
Who Are Investigating

Some party. without doubt imbued
more with a spirit of cussedness than
a desire to usher in the Fourth of July
in an appropriate manner, took the
rather hazardous risk at 12.15 Satur
day morning of blowing up a summer
house on the premises of Manley
Fsrnham at g. Western avenue, and
Judging from the damage done to the
structure and to other property in the
immediate vicinity it is probable that
the joker ca used dynamite.
Mr.. Farnham was awakened by the
explosion. the force of which shook the
house and the noise of which was
heard almost to Water street, a mile
away, and on investigating found the
summer house ruin. The roof, which
was of tin, was blown off and scat
tered at different places. the sides of
the structure were blown out and two
holes, one of them a big one, were
blown in the floor. In addition to
wrecking the summer house six win
dows were blown out on the west side
of the Farnham residence, and in the
house at Amherst street occupied
by Archie Millett "a lights of glass
were blown out of the windows in the
end and one side of the house. People
all over the neighborhood heard the
explosion.
From the nature of the explosion
and the amount of damage done it is
believed that dynamite was used. The
matter has been reported to the po-
lice and an Investigation is being
made for the purpose of finding out
who was the guilty party. 1t is thought
that some very interesting develop
ments are likely to be forthcoming

eminent measures to suppress gun
running in all ports would checkmate

I'VE have two years start in the
matter of arming and we mean to
keep it," an official of the Ulster
Unionist Council said to The AS
ISOLATED Press.
In many Ulster villages the Nation
alist bands are being drilled by retired
army sergeants near the halls and
parade grounds of the Ulster bat
talions and the townspeople are abe
to watch the preparations of both
forces.
There were $500 Nationalist volun-
teers in Belfast about the middle OF
June and many more in Londonderry
city where Catholics and Protestants
are much more evenly balanced in
numbers.
In the Covenanter movement there
are two distinct factions at present.
One is a militant section which advo-
Gates immediate provocative action,
with the belief that bloodshed would
shock the English non -conformists
and force Asuith to grant listers de-
mand for permanent exclusion from
an Irish government. The other fac
ton which includes important business
men fought successfully to prevent
the declaration of a provisional gov
eminent for Ulster when the Home
Rule bill passed the third reading in
the House Of Commons. The first
factions now clamors to have the pro-
visional government set up when the
King signs the bill, while the more
conservative business interests coun-
sci delay until the Irish parliament in
Dublin is launched. Sir Edward Car

Government May Build New Naval
Academy Along Shore OF the Lake.

Lake shore cities are to have another
chance to bid against each other for
the location of a great government in
stltution as Senator James Hamilton
Lewis on Wednesday introduced a bill
IN the senate to provide appropriations
Tor the erection OF d great naval school
on the great lakes. 1t is proposed to
make the school similar to the academy
at Annapolis and it is said that the
movement has the cordial support of
the department. Of the navy and of the
leading members Of congress. At the
time the naval training school was To-
Gated at Lake Bluff it was announced
that it was the ultimate plan of the
government to build school for officers
as well as enlisted men and it is ex-
Iected that this plan will now be car
rled out. 1t is planned to place the
proposed school on the lake shore in
close touch with the training station at
Lake Bluff, but it may be located any
where within forty miles Of the train
ing school. There is some doubt as to
whether or not land would be available
at Lake Bluff for the school and should
this prove true Kenosha would have an
excellent chance to secure the location
of the school. 1t is understood in adj
vance that the land for the location of
the big institution viii be purchased
by the government. No favors will be
asked in connection with the location
of the school and the commission in
charge, should the bill be enacted into
law, will be governed entirely by the
advisability Of the location suggested.
Kenosha people took great interest in
the location of the naval training school
and it is possible that they will take
even a greater interest in the proposed
navy academy.
