LONDON', March 21 The out
standing rcnturos of tho news from
Ireland was th0 disaffection among
tho offlcors of tho rogulnr army un
der orders to prornod to Ulster with
tholr reglmonts. Tho actual number
of resignations was hMII problemati

evident from nn enrncst early morn

ninco tno army is already Borlously

Threats of a crisis In tho nrmy If n
movement of rogulnr troops was un
dertaken agnliiBt Ulster had long been
current. Immediately after Colonel
Secloy, Secretary of Stato for war,
had been In nudleuro with King
Oeorgo, Sooloy summoned tho nrmy

tho vacancies. According to roports,
howovor, tho number of vncnncles
Is Increasing rapidly and It seems pos
sible that all tho regiments which
hnvo been serving In Ulster may havo
to bo withdrawn and replaced with
fresh troops. It was thought In many
quarters that If tho government

In order to get return enrgoes lor
their ships, thoy have to do a general
commission business, buying this and
that and carrying It to the United
States and selling It. Of rouree they
hnndle frloght but to guard against
short cargoes they havo to engage In
the other line. As an Indication or
how multifarious the business Is,
Capt. Dollar said that recently one
of their vessels had firty-seven dif
ferent varieties of freight aboard on
her return from Asia. Recently they
have been bringing quite a bit of oak
timber from northern Japan and also
mahogany rrom the Philippines to
tho United States. During the last
year they even brought considerable
coal Into San Francisco from Asia.
They brought peanuts, feathors and
plg-lron. Not long ago Capt. Dollar
was astounded when he round that
one or his 8000-ton vessels had car
ried n whole cargo or peanuts from
one port In China to another.

Cooa Day's hopes of getting tUo

mer based on promises of Major
Morrow nnd others engineers, may
be blasted. Some time ago, a report
that Washington was going to get

Washington:
"In n lottor to Senator Chamber
lain, Daniel Kingmnu. chlof of en
gineers or the Army, says that the
stato of Washington Is entitled tw
tho use or the dredge Oregon ror
tno noxt two years If it should ba
needod thero for that length oC
time. It was the evident purpose
of Congress, he says, to provide for
tho use of this dredgo by Oregon
and Washington equitably. Ho suk
gests that If Congress nuthorlza
the construction of a new dredgt
ror Oregon It could be comple-te
within less than two years. yUs
