The Colonial Secretary said the Northern Govt. offer was generous, sin- cera and unanimous, :nd eould be carried into effeect immediately. Ailegianz2 to the King whetheras King of Great Britain or o Ireland, must nowever, be insisted apon. '‘Now could we agree to tne setiing up of a separate foreign Republics in Ireland? ue asked, not veace, he, said, but a real war, not mere bush ranging, would follow suen a course. ‘‘We want a confarange, but a successful one’’, he deeclared. Uister, he said, had made a gacrifie, and no longer a stumbling bloek to the rest of Ireland. He cannot see much real foundation for the opii mism ~which prevailed, a:d he still was uncertain where the Irish leaders stood. The proposed conterence. he declared, was the only thing which stood between the Govt. and failure. The Secretary, however, through his declaration that there would be insistence upon aliegi- ance to the KJng, whether as ‘*:Kingof Great Britain or o: lreland’’, was con- sidered by many of his hearers to have virtually held out the prospect to Ireland of a separate Kingdom along the lines suggested by Lord Hugh Cecil last May, when he brouguat forward a scheme by which Ireland would be made an inde- pendent Kingdom, the King io be a member of the Windsor family, probably the Prince of Wales, to be appointed by the King. : Paris, Sept. 26¢h. —An attempt was made to assassinate Geaeral Pilsudski, President of the Polish Republie, at Lem- berg, Galicia, last night, says a despatch reccived here.

Geneva, Sept. 26th. —Methods of ap- plying the economic weapon of the i .eague of Nations against a country which violates the provisions of the Covenant of the League, came before the Assembly of the league rhi: morning, when the blockad> committee submitted its re- port. 'T'he committee found it was im- possibie for the [,2ague to decide before hand in detail the various steps of an economic, commercial and financial na- ture that should be taken in each case. It proposed that the Council of the League make¢ recommendations to the members tor a plan for joint action, when necessity should arise. Inter ruption of diplomatic relations would be first limited tc the withdrayal of the heads of diplomatic missions. The com- mittee heid, hosevér, that while con- sular reiations might he maintained, if prolonged application of economic pressureswas necessary, it should be pro- gressively made more stringent. In the resolutions that were propvsed, provision was made that- certain states might for a cerwain period be released from the «)piigu[ion oi* bloekadiag another country, if the conditions we.e such as would Involve soecial idanger (o these states. An important question facing the Assembly at the begin- ning oi ihis debate was how to meet action on ~the provositions of the com- miftee under the rule requiring unani- mity, this rule no: yet having been abrogated. Lord Roberi Cecil, repre senting the Unicn of South Afiica, re- ceniiy made a motion that the rule be suspended, but it was referred to the constitutional committee. An effort will be made to obtain a vote on this mo- tion before balloting begins on the re- solutions regarding the blockade. It is believed here ihai «ananimit’ on com- < mittee recommen-iations is imposseble.
