Ten "Die Hards'' on Home Rule Bill
HOUSE OF LORDS VOTES FAVOR,
 ABLY ON SECOND READING
27s FOR, 10 AGAINST
To be Amended in committee-If Car ried, Will Make Exclusion of Whole Province of Ulster Absolute.

London, July 6.-The house Of lords today passed by 273 to 10, the sec ond reading of the bill to amend the Irish Home Rule bill.
 That the house of lords would pass the bill in order to amend it in com mittee was a foregone conclusion, but there was surprise that only ten die hards' could be found to vote for Lord Willioughby de Broke's motion for it's rejection.
 Marquis of Crews Challenge.
 The Marquis of Crewe. in winding challenged the opposition to guarantee that there would be no civil war in Ireland, even if the bill was amended totally excluding Ulster. Concerning the possibility of a solution by confer ence, if dropping the amending bill and breaking the governments policy was to be a preliminary it would be impossible for the government to ac cept it, but, short of entatling such a sacrifice, the government was most anxious to facilitate a conference, he said.
 For himself. he did not hesitate to say that if John Redmond, the Irish Nationalist leader, Sir Edward Car son, the Ulster Unionist leader, Will fam O'Brien and two or three other Irish men could get together it would be a better augury for some perman- ent arrangement Lnan any OIneT klnu of conference.
 Another division was taken, notice of several amendments was handed in providing for the exclusion from home rule of the whole of Ulster.
 Will Exclude Ulster Absolutely.
 These amendments, if carried, will make the exclusion of the whole prov ince of Ulster absolute, without any referendum or election, and the ex- cluded province will be placed under the jurisdiction of the new secretary of state in the imperial parliament where administrative orders would re- quire the sanction of the British pad liament.
 Irish Volunteers Organizing.
 The increasing probability of an amicable settlement of the home rule question had not been allowed to in terfere with the speedy organization and the equipping of the rival volun- teer forces in Ireland. Dublin tailors have been overwhelmed with orders for uniforms for the Nationalist vol unteers
 It is reported that 100000 rounds of ammunition were landed today on the County Down coast under the very bows of the destroyers patrolling the coast. This ammunition was for the Ulster volunteers and was concealed in coal bags en board a collier.
