Sir Edward Carson will be met at
Belfast this evening by 400 men OF
the Ulster volunteers, armed with RI
fes and fixed bayonets. There are
grave fears that spark may explode
the powder mine on Sunday. as July
II is the anniversary of the Battle of
the Boyne, date which is always
celebrated by Orange demonstrations,
and which even in normal times is
often accompanied by serious rioting.
Belfast. July 9.-The first meeting of
the Ulster provisional government has
been called for tomorrow at the re-
quest Of Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster
Unionist leader. According to Captain
James Craig, the result Of the meet
ing will have an important bearing on
the Irish situation. but he declared that
there is no intention on the part of the
Obstetrics, whatever happens, to set up
a parliament for themselves in Ulster.
They claimed the right merely TO hold
the province in trust for the constitu-
ton of the United Kingdom in order
that Ulster should continue to be an
integral portion of the British Empire.
The clauses of the constitution of the
provisional government, which until
now have not been disclosed. expressly
provide that upon the restoration of
the direct imperial government the pro-
visional government shall cease to eX-
ist" and "the provisional government.
while it is in power, shall maintain and
enforce all the statute laws now in
force in ireland other than the statute
establishing a Home Rule government"
Arrangements have been made TO re-
ceive Sir Edward Carson on his ar
rival tomorrow. Four hundred Ulster
volunteers. armed with rifles, with
fixed bayonets, will escort him to the
place of meeting.
London. July 9.-The House of Lords
concluded to-day the committee stage
of the bill amending the Home Rule
bill. The only additional important
change was the insertion OF new
clause giving the Lord Lieutenant con-
troll of the Royal Irish Constabulary,
instead, as provided in the Home Rule
bill. of transferring the control Of the
constabularly TO the Irish government
after six years.
The amended bill will come up for
its third reading on Wednesday next
