A PERILOUS PASSAGE.
Arrival of Vessel That Was in an leo
Pack Seven Days.

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-The bark
1vigtut, which arrived yesterday from
Ivigtut, encountered n remarkably
stormy and perilous passage, occupying
in all forty-eight days, during which
forty-seven icebergs were passed. She
sailed on June and on that day became
fast jammed in an ice pack, tho area
of which could not be determined from
aloft. AS far as the eye could
reach nothing but n long waste
of thickly packed ice could be
seen. Little or no headway could be
made. For seven long days and nights,
amid great sufferings. the battle with
the ice continued. and finally the craft
found herself gliding through clear
water once more. On the following day
the thermometer gave indications of ice
again, and it was but short time until
twenty-five tremendous, glittering mon
sters loomed up in full view. On the 18th
seventeen bergs equally as large were
sighted, and on the 10th five were seen.
Favorable winds carried the Ivigtut be-
yond further distractions of the kind.

LUMBER SCARCE
And Discomfort Among the Merchants
Over the Millmen's Strike at Bangor.

BANGOR, June -.
This is the seventh day of the strike and
the men are still idle. Contrary to expecta-
tons there has been no conference for the
purpose Of reaching a settlement between
the men and the mill owners as the latter
have not appointed a committee to represen,
them.
Some of the owners are willing to appoint
u committee TO meet the men while others
are saying they will not be driven to do
anything. This leaves the situation the same
as yesterday.
There is scarcely branch of business in
Bangor in which the strike is not being Sc
verely felt A prominent hardware dealer
told reporter today that operations on 20
houses which his firm had contracted to sup
ply had been stopped owing to the strike and
a lack of lumber Another dealer had a
similar story to tell. 1t is next to impossible
here to buy any lumber for house build
ing and the effect of the tie-up in the mills
must be felt for some time to come.
