Belfast, Ireland March 21.-Details of the disaffection among troops at Curragh, published fully in the even ing papers here, created no demon strations. Belfast tonight is wearing a normal aspect, save that the Sat urday shopping crowds were increas ed. A council of war was held late today at Craigavon, between Sir Edwarl Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader; General Sir George Richard son, commander in chief of the u ster troops, and forty officers com prising the regimental commanders of the forces. at which mobilization details were perfected.
 Sir Edward Carson made state. ment to the Associated Press after the conference, regarding the military situation. He said;
 The government is attempting to COW Ulster by intimidation, and prov. ocation, but both will fail"
 A Dublin dispatch announces the swearing in of special magistrates for Ulster. This and the forwarding of attachments of special constables from Dublin to Belfast are regarded here as an attempt to incite riots
 All the regular troops in Belfast were confined to barracks today caus- ing great discomfort among the men. Thirty-five hundred volunteers spent the afternoon maneuvering on the estate of Lord Shaflesbury, which is called Belfast Castle. Other volun- teers spent the day in target practice.
 The Marquis of Londonderry said to the Associated Press tonight that he thought the wholesale resignation of officers was the first instance of the kind in the British army since the crisis preceding the war against the American colonies.
 Ireland has striyen for home rule without d moments cessation ever since the Irish parliament was abol- ished and the legislative union oi Great Britain and Ireland was pro- claimed on January i, 1901.

 The patriotic movement was SUD- pressed time after time, by coercion acts passed by the British parliament only to take another form. The Molly Maguires, the Young Ireland party, the Land League and the Ma tional League were all Irish political societies which had their day.
 Thousands of Irish nationalists served terms of Imprisonment for their participation in the fight for leg islative independence from Great Britain. Hundreds were exiled, many going to the United States.
 The agitation sometimes took on the aspect of extreme violence as when Lord Frederick Cavendish chief secretary for Ireland, and T. H Burke. permanent secretary, were as sassinated by "Inyincibles" on May 6, 1882, in Proenix Park, Dublin.
 The parliamentary fight for home rule was waged for many decades and gave rise to extraordinary scenes in the usually staid British parliament often bringing about the expulsion oi members and the stoppage of busi ness.
 he first effort of the British gov, ernment to meet the Irish demand Tor home rule was made by the late Wm Gladstone, when premier in lS66. The bill was rejected after its introduction had brought about a great split in the liberal party which caused the secession of Joseph chamberlain and other leading lib erals, who since have acted with the conservative party on Irish questions
 since then several Irish home rule oills have been introduced by liberal governments and the last one passed the house of commons but was re Jected by the house of lords. This iea to the passage three years ago oi the parliament act. under the proyi slohs of which any bnl. not an appro
