SYDNEY, May 7. The steamer Kooringa, belonging to the Mcllwraith and McEacharn Line, is idle at Melbourne as a result of the action of the -Seamen's Union. When the Komura, of the same line, reaches her home port, Melbourne, she will also be rendered idle, as there is trouble aboard owing to a dispute over the manner of an injury to a fireman. Fears concerning the Hobsoh Bay proved to be groundless. The ves«ei signed on a new crew without difficulty.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
