RECORD HAUL
 OF OPIUM MADE
SEVENTY-SIX THOUSAND DOL LARS WORTH FOUND IN
 SHIP AT SEATTLE.

SEATTLE, Oct. 19.-Seventy-six thousand dollars worth of opium was seized last night in the Blue Funnel liner Calchas and was the largesT catch of the kind on record. The vessel went argound near Port Townsend and remained stuck for ten days. After floating off she was placed in drydock here but no suspi- cion rested on her until a chance re- mark made by the engineer to the effect that the draft was bad all the way from Liverpool. This created the suspicion that led to a search which resulted in the discovery of six hundred tins of opium in the air shaft. She had been searched by the customs officials at San Francisco and Vancouver but the opium was so cleverly concealed that the officers never had an inkling of it's presence.

GOVERNMENT MAY FALL

LONDON, Oct. l9.-It is believed here that the resignation of Sir Ed. ward Carson foreshadows the resig- nation of the whole cabinet Carson was attorney general in the coalition cabinet and refuses to state why he resigned but the cause is believed to be dissatisfaction with the Balkan methods of the allies particularly ano with the whole conduct of the wlF generally. He has expressed at vari- ous times his dissatisfaction with G.e methods of conducting the War by small inner circles" It is thought in many well informed circles that his resignation will be followed by others. In an editorial today the Daily Globe says; We should deeply regret to see the government fall but surely it must fall unless it shows strength and decision in such grave matters as the Gallipolj expedition. the rescue of Serbia. recruiting and defense against Zeppelin attacks" 1t is we'll known that extreme pres sure is being brought to bear to pre- vent further resignations as the fall of the ministry would mean 30 general election and the present is regarded as the worst possible time for au election It is noted that Prime Min ister Asquith, who is said to be sui fering from intestinal catarrh. has got sick just at the time the fall of the government is expected. Most people believe he will quit and it is remarked that the same conditions prevail as in France at the time of the fall of DelcasSe.
