ALL ARE CELEBRATING ELEc-
TON OF ULSTER PARLIA-
MENT IN BELFAST.
De VALERA IS BEATEN
kATIONAIiSTS WILL WIN FOUR
SEATS AND SiNN FEINERS
FOUR.

N"NA 'N"' avn
Belfast, May 27.-Unionists have
done better in the elections than they
anticipated, the Sim Feiners worse
than their prophets predicted m the
Nationalist no more than they looked
for.
All are celebrating-the Unionlsts
because they have won, the National
lists and Sim Fem because they nave
made their protest against the parti-
ton of Ireland.
Daniel Mccain, chief lieutenant in
Belfast of Joseph Devlin, Nationalist
leader, had hoped for fourteen seats,
but did not really believe more than
twelve Nationalist and Sim FeIners
could be returned, and he proved a
good prophet.
Unofficial returns show that the
Unionists made their greatest gains
in Belfast, where it is expected they
will have fifteen or sixteen seats.
Joseph Devlln is the only Nationalist
nor Sim Feiner who will have a seat
for Belfast, and even he was beaten
in his own stronghold for first place
on the poll by his Unionist opponent,
L. III. Burn. His colleague, Alderman
Byrne, had only 81 votes, or 10000
fewer than his leader. This was due
to the Nationalist giving all their
first votes to Devlin.
Sim Feiners did better tina Byrne,
but on the first ballot they were well
behind the Unionists.
The Socialists here, as in other CON
stituencies lost their deposit, which
they will have to forfeit If they do not
receive a certain number of votes.
In Antrim the Unionists were pretty
certain of six of the sever seats, the
other going to Devlin.
Louis Walsh, Sinn Feined, who was
permitted to leave the detention camp
to take part in the election and who
headed the poll In the county council
election, is 10Y nearer the bottom of
the poll, although there are many Sim
Feiners in north Antrim and the
Glens Of Antrim. The Unionist, Bar.
bour, headed the list with some II, 900
5000.
At Derry the Unionists elected their
three candidates-all they had nomi-
nated-thus leaving the other two
seats to Prof. John MacNeil, Sim
Feiner, and his Nationalist running
mate.
In County Down, where Sir James
Craig. Ulster premier designate. and
Eamonn De Valera, Republican leader,
were opponents and where both will
be elected, the seats will be divided
equally between the two sides, two
n two.
The count in Armagh and Tyrone
is belated.
The percentage of votes was high
IL West Belfast. 1t reached "a. It
is noted that in many instances the
candidate whose name was first on
The list, which was arranged alpha
betlcally, received the most votes.
For example, Sir r. Anderson, Union
list, had nearly 1000 more than Pro-
fessor MacNell in Derry, where the
Sim Feiner was expected to lead.
The Natipnalists probably will win
eight seats Ind the Sim Feiners four.

ONLY ] SURVIVE
 D|R|C|DLE WRECK
Sixteen Americans Perish in Aircraft That Was to Have Crossed Atlan- tic Ocean--Public Funeral
 in London for Dead.

Hull, England, Aug 25.-Divers be- gan at dawn today to explore the fire twisted wreckage of the dirigibie ZR-2, which last evening exploded above this city and fell into the Hum Der river, carrying with her more than 40 of her crew. Only one Amer jean, Norman O. Walker, a rigger, and four British--Flight Lieutenant A. H. Wann; Ernest Davies, airman; s. Batman, scientific assistant, and Walter Potter, mechanic-survived the disaster that in a twinkling changed the trial cruise of the airship into a ghastly tragedy.
 During the hours of darkness that followed the collapse and destruction of the ZR-2, tugs stood by the wreck age and keen eyes scanned the water for any bodies that might have been dislodged by the tide that flowed over all that remained of what was yester- day Great Britain's mightiest diri- gible, which officials expected to turn over to the United States navy today. It was believed that the ruins of the aerial dreadnaught held the bodies of 15 American and 26 British officers and enlisted men who engaged in the final test of the machine.
 Buckled and Broke.
 All hope that there might be other survivors of the disaster was given up during the night. The wreckage fell only 200 feet from shore and the six carriages in which most of the airship personnel was riding sank inn mediately to the bottom of the Hum Der. The men in the gondolas, it was believed, would have little chance to escape after the dirigible struck the water as the weight of engines and machinery quickly carried the ruined structure beneath the water.
 Experts here were at loss to ac- count for this greatest of peace-time air disasters.

STREET FIGHTING
 BY BELFAST FOLK
In Night Battles Waged in Light of Burning Houses Five are Killed Strike Ended on Irish
 Railroad.

Belfast, Aug. 30.-Street fighting which has been in progress since yes- terday became particularly violent af- ter l o'clock today, the dinner hour at ninety factories in the side streets radiating from Duncairn gardens and North Queens street.
 The rioting continued turnout the afternoon and resulted in the death of three persons. William Kennedy was shot dead in Earl street and Annie Watson, a five-year-old girl, got into the line of fire in North Queen street and was shot to death A labover also was killed. Forty-eight persons wounded in the rioting were taken 10 hospitals.
 Civilians placed sandbags in the middle of the streets and maintained heavy firing against the police and military, who were forced to abandon the streets. Armored cars were sum- moned At one time the batter of bullets resembled a hail storm.
 Light From Burning Homes.
 Last nights rioting, when two per- sons were killed and several injured was the most serious the city has ex- Ferienced for some tune. The police and military were engaged throughout the night in subduing gunmen and snipers who were operating from windows and roofs and who contin- ued their fusillade until after mid night. Street lamps were extinguish- ed and the only light came from burning houses to which the mob had set fire.
 The engineers and firemen of the Great Northern Irish railway, who struck last midnight as a result of a dispute with the management, re- turned to their posts this afternoon on the advice of J. H. Thomas, general secretary of the Union of Railway men.
 Road Completely Tied Up.
 For the first time in it's history, the railway had been completely tied up by the strike. Station staffs were automatically Unemployed because of the walkout.
 The main line of this railroad runs between Dublin and Belfast and it's branches extend throughout the pro- vince of Ulster.
 Ulster men and Sim Feiners stood united in the strike, which was a pure ly industrial dispute and came as a sequel to the government turning control of the railroad back into the hands of it's owners.

GEORGES
 POSITION CLEAR
Disappointed at Lack of Consideration by De Valera to Proposals by Brit ish Government-Ireland Would
 Control Own Existence.

London, Aug. 26.-The text of the reply of Premier Lloyd George to Eamonn De Valera is as follows:
 Sir: The British government is profoundly disappointed by your let ter of August 24. You write of the conditions of the meeting between us as tho no meeting had ever taken place.
 q must remind you, therefore, that when l asked you to meet me six weeks ago l made no preliminary conditions of any sort. You cane U London on the invitation ana ex- changed views with me at three meet ings of considerable length. The proposals l made you after those meetings were based upon full and sympathetic consideration of the views which you expressed.
 "They were not made in any hag- gling spirit. My colleagues and went to the very limit of our powers in endeavoring to reconcile the Brit ish and Irish interests. Our propos- als have gone far beyond all precedent and have been approved as liberal by whole civilization.
 "The only criticism of them l have yet heard outside of Ireland is from those who maintain that our proposals have stepped beyond warrant and wis dom in their liberality. Your letter shows no recognition of this and further negotiations, must, fear, be futile, unless some definite progress is made towards acceptance of basis.
 "You declare our proposals involve the surrender of Ireland's whole na- tional tradition and reduce her to sub servience. What are the facts !? Un- der the settlement we outlined Ire land would control every nerve and fibre of her national existence. She would speak her own language and make her own religious life, she would have complete power over tax ation and finance: subject only to an agreement for keeping trade and transport as free as possible between herself and Great Britain, her best market.

London, Aug. 25-The giant airship ZR-2, purchased by the United States from Great Britain, exploded over the city of Hull yesterday. during final test flight, according to advices re- ceived shortly after 6:30 yesterday evening. Seventeen Americans were aboard.
 The airship is wreck in the river Humber A dispatch to the Press Association from Hull says six men were saved from the crew of forty- nine.
 The airship was passing over Hull in fine style when suddenly it was seen to break in two. Instantly there were terrific explosions and the air ship burst into flames and commenced to descend. Three parachutes were seen to leave the ZR-2.
 Thousands Watch Disaster.
 Thousands of people of Hull watched the disaster, which occurred at $40 o'clock. As the explosion occurred they dashed panic-stricken in all di- rections for fear of being enveloped by the wreckage which fell just over the Victoria pier.
 Two dead and a number of injured were landed from the river and con- veyed to the Hull infirmary.
 Burning fragments from the airship belched dense columns of smoke and fame which extended for hundreds of feet along the surface of the water. Eye witnesses saw at least four men desc end from the burning airship by parachutes. Three men were seen hanging from one parachute.
 The explosions in the big dirigible were of such force as 70 wreck many of the windows of store fronts in the center of Hull
 Tugs and other craft of all kinds put off from the short for rescue work immediately the disaster was witt nesses. Simultaneously a corps of ambulances dashed to the pier and took injured members of the crew to the infrmary as they were landed. Twelve Bodies Recovered. Another message to the press asso- citation from Hull said it is believed ten of the men in the ZR-2 have been saved. Twelve bodies have been re- covered.
 It is learned that the American of ficers on board the dirigible were Commander Louis H. Maxfeld, Wash ington, D. C.; Lieutenant Commander Valentine N. Bieg, of Bryn Mawr, Pa.; Lieutenant Commander Emory Coil, of Marietta, Ohio; Lieutenant Morcus H. Esterly, Washington, D. C.; Lieu tenant Henry w. Hoyt, Clear Water, Fla, and Lieutenant Charles G. Little, Newburyport, Mass.
 In addition to the six American off, cers on the ZR-2 there also were II American enlisted men. They includ- ed F. A. Moorman, mechanic, and c. L AlIer, M. Lay, A. Pettitt and N. 0. Walker, triggers.
 The following British officers are known to have been on board for the flight.
 Air Commodore k. M. Maitland; Lieutenant A. H. Swan; Lieutenant II. c. Little; Lieutenant R. s. Mon tague and Flight Lieutenant Thomas.
 The disaster occurred while the ZR- was on what was intended to be her final trip before being turned over by her British builders to the United States navy for her flight across the Atlantic.
 The airship set out from Hewden early yesterday, was prevented by a storm from landing last night, and was cruising about today making fur ther tests before proceeding to Pull ham, in Norfolk, where it was in- tended to moor her.
