Increases. Tho present tendency among tho volunteers of the south Is to accept leadership by tUo nationalist party which John Red mond offered them. Thus led, thero would bo a clear division of Homo Rulers nnd nntl-Home Rulo men Into hostllo armed camps. Tho very dangers ot a bitter civil war which such a prospect presents, furnishes tho best safeguard for pence. Correspondunts of tho Associated Press nt Dublin and Belfast have jvrlttcn ot tho situation from the nationalist nnd Ulster points of vlc(-. respectively, Tho most Interesting development Is tho plan, hitherto luipubllshed, of tho Ornngemon under Sir Edward Carson for taking charge of affairs by force If a provisional government Is sot up, nnd tho fact that tho commercial men of Belfast havo used tholr influence In Ulster councils to post pone radical action until a Home Rulo parliament has been established In Dub lin. The great question which confronts tho Nationalist volunteers is how far their Amcrlcnn sympathizers are likely to como forward with, funds for their arms and equipment.- , Ntrnnicth . nt thn Nationalists. DUBLIN, July 0. Estimates of tho num ber of Irish Nntlqnllst volunteers vary between 80,000, which Is the Dublin castlo figures complied by the police, and 260,000, which Is the estimate given In platform speeches. Careful Inquiry shows that thero are 60,000 In Lelnster, which takes tho lead, about 45,000 in Ulster (Increasing rapidly), 85,000 In Munster. and 25,000 la Conhiugh't. Tho difficulty of exact estimate arises froth the "fast that the movement Is not organized from tho- centre. Forces havo sprung up spontaneously In every parish, nnd no far a'ro only loosely connected with tho provisional central body. Thero has been a complete wiping out ot all class distinctions, and tho rank and file lncludo every grade farmer, lnborers. nhop assistants, clerks, doctors, lawyers and country gentlemen. Thero is a very strong leaven of tlmo-explrcd soldiers- old Connaught rangers. Dublin fuslleera and Munster fuslleors, and their experts ence Is proving useful In the drill. Officer of Experience.

But tho material Is excellent and the enthusiasm unbounded. Mr. Redmond's open associa tion with the movement will remove tho difficulty of getting money. The men in charge of the movement aro for the most part unknown and thero has been much reluctance to provide funds till the publlo knew who would spend the money and! for what. Htrnnic Central "Iloily. Tho central body consists ot twenty five men, of them fifteen are said to bo Homo Rulers. In eympathy with Mr. Rod- mond, but the more active, Influential nnd effective spirits are members of the Sinn Fein party.

Mr. Redmond offered his co operation to the central body If he was allowed to nomlnato an equal number of men on It. pending the election ot the Volunteer branches of the central execu tive. Falling acceptance he will recom mend each county to govern Itself. This offer was rejected on a hastily summoned meeting of tho executives who proposed that each county should elect a representative to sit with them.
