Ireland Enthusiastic Over Its Passage by the House of Commons, LONDON, May %¢.—General eur- Prise was expressea? to-day when Great Britain awoke to find there had been no disorder in Iheland lest night over the passage of the Home Rule bill. The violent threats of the Unionists had led to the general expectation that the Volunteers in the North of Ireland would arise in revolt as soon as Home Rule became an established fact. In anticipation of trouble the Gov- ernment had stationed extra troops and constables in fielfast and other towns and cities in the Province of Ulster. This precaution may have had its effect in the prevalence of peace and quiet. Home Rule leaders declare that the Sir Edward Carson revolutionary movement is mostly bluster, and that, outside of sporadic disturbances, the North of Ireland will accept actual Home Rule government as placidly as it has accepted the passage of the Home Rule bill. Redmond and his close advisers have never believed that the Union- ist uprising talk amounted to any- thing. In all parts of Ireland outside of Ulster great enthusiasm prevails. There was no demonstration lest night in Belfast, but in other sections there were public meetings, bonfires and oratory, At the time this was going on the Home Rule bill left the House of Commons for the last time. There is no doubt that the soberer @ements of the Unionist party are again in the ascendant, but how long they will be no one can predict.

The Colonel said it was much easier to take this long trip than to attempt the overland journey.
