The =northern Cabinet met on Wednesday morning in London, and

according to " A. P. N." in the Daily Chronicle, who is

always in close touch with affairs, decided that no useful purpose would be served by entering into the Conference as they saw nc possibility -of accepting the proposals made to them. The Ulstermen are to meet Mr. Lloyd George on the evening of Thursday, the day on which wo go to press. "A. P. N." state= that the Ulster leaders hope to have the proposals submitted to them in writing. If that were done they would be able to make a detailed reply. It is suggested that a refusal of the present scheme by North-East Ulster would not necessarily end tho Conference, but that there might be " further conversations."
