limited experience of woman suffrage
in local school election. He said on

CRISIS IN CABINET
FUTURE OF HOME RULE BILL
WRAPPED IN CLOUDS
PREMIER WEAkENS.
CRISIS IN THE KINGS ARMY
Many Officers Resign to Avoid Mill
tary Service in North Of Ireland
All. Face. Courts-MartiaI - Troops
Are Being Moved to Scene.

London, March 25.-The future Of
the home rule bill is wrapped in the
clouds Three senior officers from the
Curragh camp, who had resigned, re-
turned to Ireland to resume their
posts Monday after a conference at
the war Office, which they said entire
ly satisfied them.
The Times confirms the announce
ment that General Cough has resumed
his post, and comments on the written
assurance that his troops are not to be
used to coerce the people of Ulster
into acceptance of the home rule bill.
This is considered direct surrender
by the government.
The army has checkmated the gov
eminent, according to the Unionists'
view, and the Covenanters of Ulster
have won their fight.
No declarations of Full steam
ahead" or Meeting force with force"
were heard from Premier Asquith and
other Liberals in the debate In the
house Of commons.
London, March 24.-Gen. Sir Arthur
Paget visited Currah on Saturday and
gave General Cough of the Third cav
airy brigade the option of taking COM
mand at Ulster or retiring, according
to the Sunday Observer here. Gen
eral Cough, who was allowed two
hours for consideration, resigned i'm
mediately. The Observer says also
that the government has decided to
issue 200 warrants for the arrest of
the leaders in Ulster.
The governments military precau-
lions to preserve order In Ulster pre-
cipitated a crisis without parallel in
the history of the British army. Rather
than be placed in a position where
they might be called on to act against
the Ulster covenanters, numerous Off
GERS resigned their commissions.
While the war office refused to say
how many had resigned, popular be-
lief, based on reports from the differ
ent regiments, was that the number
Of Withdrawals had crippled the whole
military organization in Ireland and
prevented carrying out the orders for
moving several large bodies of troops
The Marquis of Londonderry, one Of
the Ulster leaders, said that nothing
Of the sort had occurred in the British
army since the days of the American
revolution.
The entrance Of King George on the
scene as peacemaker was the dramatic
event of the day. He had long confer
ences with the prime minister, Mr.. As
quith; the secretary of state for war,
Colonel Seely, and several high off,
GERS, and afterward summoned Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, who had been
criticized by the liberals for utter
ances which they construed as en-
enlargement to the officers to refuse
to obey orders.
Meantime the movement OF troops
continued in Ireland. The center of
interest shifted to Curragh, Is miles
from Dublin, where the Third cavalry
brigade under General Cough and the
Fourteenth infantry brigade under
Colonel Rolf were stationed.

CONVENTION HALL. Nashville,
Tenn, May 2S.-Thomas G. Rye, of
Henry county, was nominated for
governor in the great democratic con-
vention following the ninth ballot
in which he showed the most surpris-
ing gains. An effort to switch the op,
position to Everett after the gains
made by Rye on the eighth ballot
proved abortive.
The nomination Of Rye was made
unanimous and one of the greatest, il
not the greatest, demonstrations evel
known in a democratic state conven
ton ensued. The final triumph Of
Rye did not come until after the op
position had exhausted every effor
to encompass his defeat.
Rye's nomination was a distinc
victory to the Lea forces, which hat
lost the preliminary struggles In tn
convention. The senator's faction
lost the struggle for control Of thu
temporary organization and their del
egates, the regular delegates from De
wilson county were unseated.
Rye gained steadily all during tn
morning. His vote advanced from
500 to SOS on the eighth ballot an
the ninth was the beginning of tn
end. The attempt to stampede t
Everett was a complete fiasco. Blu
Rye was distinctivey the people
candidate. He was really the sec
ond choice of most Of the delegate
whose hatred for Lea did not owe
shadow every other consideration.
