. The Southern Pacific had concen
trated enough railroad police to to have
dislodged the tourists from the stalled

not have helped the local authorities,
who would still have had the army on
their hands, so they made thoir offer
of a meal a day if the men would pro

accepted.

istrates were boing sworn in by the
score for service throughout the county-Similar
scenes aro being enacted at
all other Ulster towns, Tho authorities
were careful to avoid any at likely to
give tho anti-home rulers unnecessary
offense, but they plainly wore making
ready for sharp work at .the first overt
move among thorn.
They woro having serious trouble
with tho troops. Reports were cur
rent thsxt a battalion of Dorsetshires
positively mutinied in barracks here
when told that they were about to be
transferred to another station, throw
ing down their arms and declaring
they would not fight for home rule.
This report was perhaps exaggerated,
but it was certain the men were discon
tented and unruly.
The officers were even morn so, .lust
how many had resigned could not be
learned, but the number was sufficiently
serious to cripple the government in its
military dispositions. The transfer of
cavalry from Ctirrsgh camp to Ulster
had to bo cancelled temporarily, Indeed,

WILSON EXPLAINS HE IS
Washington, March 21. Washington
was marvelling today at the manner in
which President Wilson unbosomed him
self Friday night at tho National Press
club's honsewarming in its new quarters
here.
"It is borne in on me by the articles
T read about myself, ' ' ho said, "thi.
I am a cold, removed person with a
thinking muchinc inside which he ad
justs to circumstances." And this, iu
fact, wins just what the average Wash
ingtonian did think.
The president's idea of himself, it
seems, however, is otherwise, "I some
times feel like a fire Irom a far distant
volcano," he explained, "and if the
lava does not seem to spill over it is
because you nio not high enough up to
see the basin.
"In the position which I occupy thore
is a sort of pnssionnic sense of respon
sibility and if 1 seoir, circumspect it is
because I am so diligently trying not to
make any colossal blunders."
