When the loan was first issued there were
$30. S14 600 registered bonds issued on orig
1lal applications Since that time there
have been exchanged $67,646,540 coupon
bonds for registered so that the total
amount of registered bonds of this issue
outstanding for the payment of the divi-
dend due August / is $9s 4t0,5i0. For
time the amount of bonds registered in the
names of national banks held as security

ed rapidly but for the quarter ending Au-
gust l there will be a change shown, the

TIE-UP ON LAKES INEVITABLE.
Striking Ore Handlers Fail to Make
Terms VIII Mr. Hnnnn.

ASHTABULA, Ohio, July 2i-The result
of the conference between the committee
OF striking ore handlers and Manager L. G.
Hanna of the NJ. a. Hanna docks, held in
Cleveland, was unsatisfactory, although
some concessions were offered, and the be-
lief is expressed that tie-up of lake ship
ping is inevitable.
The company consented to dismiss Chief
Engineer McNutt, but declined to let SUPER
intendent Razer go. These facts were wired
here, and after a meeting had been held by
the strikers, it was decided to wait a re-
port in person from the committee before
taking action.
1t developed that the men on the Lake
Shore docks were to have struck today but
they were instructed to remain at work FOR
the time being
Superintendent Razer has laid off three Of
his assistant foremen. The machine shoD
closed down at noon today. and the COM
rany will wait until the men are ready to
go to work again. 1t is now apparent that
a general struggle is imminent.

Troops Exert Good influence.

That the presence of the strong force of
militia now doing service in this CITY has
already had most salutary effect upon
the laWless element was evidenced this
morning by the fact that the distractions
paced upon the tracks of the Big Con-

time since the present strike was inaugu-
rated.

FEMALE PEARL HUNTERS.
Korean Worhen Are Very Expert I'm
Diving for the Oysters.

A Brooklyn man received last week
letter from a friend in Seoul, the capital
of Korea, describing a visit The writer
had recently paid TO the large island OF
Quclpaert, just south OF Korea and a part
OF that country. II appears that one Of the
main Zines Of business IS diving for the
pearl oyster, and that the diving opera
lions are wholly monopolized by women.
Here Is an extract from the letter:
IL think the most unique sight / ever
saw was the woman divers at Quelpaert.
Perhaps you may have heard that only
women divers are engaged in the pearl
oyster fisheries there Every day | was
there l saw a lot Of them going out TO the r
work or returning with the fruits of their
quest under the sea. They are not a very
handsome crowd. but they have fine, fup-
PIE figures and can swim as well as any
fish of the deep. Each wears a very scanty
bathing dress that looks as though it
mighl be made Of gunny sack Tied to a
string around thcir waists is a gourd with
a STOPPER in the neck Of 1t 10 keep the
water out. Tied to the gourd is a little
bag. The third and last article of the
equipment is a sickle, which is also fas-
tened TO the waist and rests on the back
til the women get out TO the fishing
grounds.
y on might lnlnk lndi bOdtS WOul0 De
kept to carry these women out 10 their
toll: but no they work their passage and
Il is q lesson in the art of swimming to
see them. They wade out a few yards and
then breast the waves moving seward
with long quick strokes and cutting the
water like racing shell. They swim out
about half a mile My favorlte amuse-
ment was watching as much as | could
see Of their subsequent operations through
a glass They would take off the guord and
little bag ard leave them floating around
on the surface Then, sickle in hand down
they would 80 head first, and l was told
that they had TO sink forty or fifty feet
to the bottom.
About The time made up my mind they
would never be seen again alive, up they
would come. sometimes right near where
the gourd was floating. and sometimes sew
eral rods away. They would put their oys-
ter or two or three of them In the little
bag. lake few long breaths and down
they would go again. repeating the pro-
cess until the bog was filed. 1t is said they
will stay out for hours rather than return
before they have air the oysters that can
be crowded into the bag. Aay stranger
must admire them both for their splendid
endurance and for their swimming. It's
worth more than all the tank performances
you ever saw.
1.-THE sickles are used to cut away the
seaweed at The bottom so that the divers
may get at the stones and earth to which
the oysters fasten themselves. A pearl is
very rarely found, but when a diver cap
lures the prize she thinks her fortune Is
made The sheI Is used as mother-of-pearl
and the Oysers are eaten I'm large quanti-
tics. both on the island and on the main
land"

THE WHISKY BARREL.
Many Uses to which 1t Is Put After
the First.
From the Roanoke World.

From the Roanoke World.
A whisky barrel of The highest grade
costs from $3.50 to $2.75. and it is the most
expensive of all barrels. 1t is made of
heavy, selected, kiln-dried oak, free from
sap-a handsome and substantial package
Such barrels are made in great cooperages
in the West, in the neighborhood Of the
distilleries, and in proximity when posi-
BILE to the forests from which the mate
rials for them are taken. Whisky barrels
of the best grade used to cost from 81 TO
50. Machinery has been brought more and
more into use in making them with the
result that they are now cheaper than ever
before
These barrels are likely to be filled with
whisky and stored for three years or more
before they are shipped When a barrel
mas found it's way to this market and into
the hands of the final distributor, and has
been empued il is bought by a dealer in
barrels There are coopers and dealers IN
new and second hand barrels who buy all
the barrels that offer, and send out and
gather up barrels, which they buy and
sell in great numbers.
Bought in this manner the whisky bar
rel is inspected and put in order, if it re-
quires any repair, and sold, It may be- to
a wholesale deaier in liquors 10 be used
for blended liquors; but it is much more
likely not again to be used as a liquor
package, but to be sold for vinegar or
a cider barrel. In this use ii is not likely
again to get as far away from New York
as he point whence II originally came. and
when it gets back here and has been again
emptied it is sold again 10 the dealer In
the course of its use and travel IL may
come to need repairs new stave or two
or new hoops. 1t is put in order and sold
again.
When il has ceased TO be useful as vim
egar or a cider barrel gradually wearing
out. and becoming cheaper, Il is sold as
pickle barrel or for sauerkraut, and final
ly il is likely to become tar barrel, and
after that it is broken up and destroyed.
Not counting the time that il may spend
IN storage before its first shipment, the
whisky barrel is likely to last through the
various stages Of its existence, from the
time il starts out until the end two or
three years though much depends upon
the care taken Of il; carefully handled IL
may last ten years or more. The whisky
barrel holds forty-five gallons.
There's a cheaper whisky barrel, also
made Of oak. but OF lighter materials, that
costs from $3.50 to $500, which is used
largely by Eastern distAers. Great mum
bers of the heavy Daftels are USED, larger
numbers still Of the lighter barrels, which
like the heavy barrels, are made in coop
crages in the neighborhood of the distiller-
les In which they are first used. of mate
rails drawn from the forests OF the region
in which they are situated, or of shocks
brought from the West. The life OF the
ltahter barrel is about the same as that of
the heavier barrel, and it is put to the
| same uses. OF the lighter barrels. how
| ever. thousands, after the first emptying,
are sold to 20 to Scotland.
