From Abroad


Dublin, October 1c-[Correspon-
dence OF The Associated Press1-The
tourist business in Ireland has been
injuriously affected by the revolution
airy disorders tourist agents and hotel
keepers are in despair. North Wales
and the Isle of Man have captured
the visitors who used to come to Kill
larney and Gleagariff. There has
been a notable absence OF the usual
influx Of Americans.
Dublin has suffered less proper
tionately than the other places, but
Dublin's visitors did not take the risk
OF leaving 1t for the provinces There
was no danger to life or limb but the
dislocation of the railway service
caused by the refusal of the railway
men to carry soldiers, police or NUM-
tons made the train service so un-
certain that nobody could count safely
on reaching or returning from any
given destination within the limits Of
a holiday.
