The Demand for the New Bonds in Ex-
cess OF the Limit.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has not yet had an opportunity
to examine the registered per cent bonds
held for his action, on account of irregular
transmission, so as to decide what portion of
them may be converted into 81 per cents.
There is quite large amount of this class of
bonds, and until the Secretary determines how
many OF them can properly be continued at the
low rate, it cannot be stated what amount of
registered IS will be extended. The bonds
which have been received IN strict accordance
with the regulations exceed the limit of $780,
CH0, 900 fixed for the conversion of IS into 81
per cents by from $1,000, 0c0 to $12,0Co, 900.
There have been about 1856, COO of registered
5s converted into 3ls at the London agency.
Two messengers have been sent from here
with the new bonds, namely, Messrs. J. STAN
ley Brown and W. w. Ultz. The latter start
ed yesterday, and was to sail from New York
today. The amount of coupon per cent bonds
which has been presented at the London
agency for continuance at the lower rate of
interest, according to adviceS received at the
near as can be figured. $14,5OO,OO0. This
amount added to the $45, 100000 which has
been presented for continuance in this country
exclusive of today's receipts, leaves balance
of $58, 100000 in coupon 5s to be heard from
before the entire amount outstanding. $118,-

here it appears that a number Of. bankssare col

Irish World with his printed address, as though
he was a regular subscriber, would be proved
An analytical che mist had ascertained that the
bomb used in the attempt was filled with nitro
glycerine. McGraths landady, he said would
prove that he (McGrath) possessed iron piping

TOO In-Givin' to the Women"


The most striking feature of Nantucket u.s.
after all, the town crier. Everybody knows
Billie Clark. He is walking advertisement,
a peripatetic newsmonger, perambulating
shipping list and vocal bulletin board all
combined. With fish-horn in one hand, a
big bell in the other and bundle of hand-blls
or newspapers under his arm Billie rushes
about the crazy streets of the village shouting
in jargon totally unintelligible to the strane
ger, but understood we'll enough by the peopl-
for whom the words are intended. Giles tore
his voice all out of him" the cap'n says. "He
ulster have good voice, but he's too ingivin'
TO the women, and he cries too much Why I've
heard him cry at that corner, sir, and then just
when he got round into the next street Sarah
Gardner she d put the winder up an he'd cry it
all over agin; an then Mis- Nichols, on t'other
side o. the street, she d stick out her head and
out I'D come all his news agin; an then our
wimen folks nd come to the door an he'd
give it all to them; and so it goes. Yes sir;
he's tore his voice all out of him yellin' to the
wimen. III the men asks him he tells em to
look in the papers, but Billie can't hold his
own agin the wimen folks" This amiable
weakness is the more to be regretted since
Nantucket without Billie Clark would scarcely
be Nantucket When the steamer from the
main is first visible with glass, Billie blows
from the church tower four tremendous blasts
of his horn toward the cardinal points, so that
the inhabitants may prepare to go to the boat
landing.

A LARGE MEETING OF THE STRIKERS
YESTERDAY. rs

BDDEFoRD, June ia large meeting of
the strikers waseaddressed by Robert Howard,
secretary of the National Spinners' Association
of Fall River, Mass, this morning His re-
marks were characterized by fairness, and man
ifested disposition to have the matter settled
satisfactorily to both parties He urged upon
the operatives the necessity of forming unions
in the various departments of labor, counselled
moderation, and cautioned them against COM
hitting any overt acts. At the conclusion of
his remarks a committee consisting of Mr..
Howard and several others, was appointed to
wait on Mr.. Howe for final answer and re-
port at the next meeting. The meeting then
adjourned until 6. p. m. At the appointed
hour the committee informed the strikers that
Mr.. Howe had authorized them to say that he
would get statistics of wages from different
corporations in New England, and if wages
were higher in those mills on an average, he
would increase the wages of his operatives to
the same standard The question was then put
to vote as to whether or not the strikers would
resume work on Monday morning on the terms
offered by Mr.. Howe, and it was unanimously
voted to accept his terms. This ends what, in
the outset, threatened to be very disastrous
strike.
BDDEFoRD, June 19.-It was supposed that
the difficulty between the corporations of this
place and the employees was settled yesterday
afternoon for the present. at least, but it seems
now that such is not to be the case. A very
large,meeting of the operatives was held this
afternoon, and it was decided that the "back
boys" and carders should not return to their
work, and as the mule spinners cannot work
without the back boys, the wheels of the man
ufactories are virtually as much at a standstill
as ever, unless sufficient number of expert
enced back boys" can be procured outside of
the strikers; and the spinners refuse to work
with green hands,.
The weavers propose to return to their work
in the morning, but as they have no material
to work upon, they will be obliged 10 come out
again. By the course they have taken it would
appear that they are not willing to regulate
their wages according to the pay of other
places.
