TREASURY issue ALL TAKEN
Entire $5O,OOO,OOO, Under Offer of
March IA, Has Been Exchanged.
Refunding Time Limit of Which
Was June -, Completed, and
Treasury OHcinls Pleased.

New York, June THE officials OF the
local subtreasury have been notified %
accept no more Of the government IS Of
1897 for purposes Of refuuding. for the en-
tire 100000 which the Secretary Of the
Treasury offered 20 accept in exchange
for new 2s. by circular of March "A. have
been go exchanged. The time permitted
for rcfunding was until June 90, and tie
completion 0f the operation month
ahead OF the time limit is a matter Of
considerable satisfaction To the Treas
ury officials
There were Outstanding Of the short IS
about Sl170 00oo0 On December 1 last
TIE amount now outstanding is about
81. .nn001. since something more than SIS
a00orl have been redeemed by the Treas
ury Department. IN addition 70 the go
Do.Co1 refunded. BY June 60 the date Of
maturity 10 is believed that the entire
amount % be redeemed will be less than
spoWcl3. for Secretary Cortelyou's offer
to purchase 100000 has not been ac-
ceptcd in its entirety.
Among bankers the most significant
fact in regard % the refunding and re-
dempuon is that national banks have
either exchanged or sold practically all
Of the short Is that We're in their posses
sion when the department first took It's
steps toward the retirement Of the bonds.
For the approximately 100000 for the
bonds put up 10y the banks as security
for circulation or government deposits,
there have been substituted other bonds
and other securities. except in the case
Of less than Slm1000 Of the IS. To all in
tents and purposes the banks are through
with the short IS. so that the HOO o))
suu TO be redeemed will provide money
for investors alone.
The redemption OF the remainder Of the
bonds will accordingly release more than
$40 no 100 which 10 is reasonable 10 sup
pose viii seek rsinvestement I'm other
bonds 0f an absolutely safe character
II is considered probable that the Sec
retary may grasp the opportunity for the
sale of a block Of Panama Is. Il is the
understanding Of prominent bankers that
about S25On0f11 Pauam8s will be offered
this year. and some of them said to-day
that they would not be surprised at the
announcement of a Panama bond offer
ing prior 10 the date 0f maturity Of the
short IS.
The prospect that the Secretary viii call
on the banks for withdrawal Of govern
ment deposits 20 meet part Of the expense
OF purchase Of the outstanding IS, in tho
opinion Of bankers, has become less daily
II was pointed out to-day that In case
Panama issue were put out and holders
Of many of the outstanding Is substan-
TALLY exchanged them for Panamas the
Treasury would require less money for
the redemption Of the remaining IS, and
might get along without a call on the
banks for return Of deposits

SEND TELEGRAMS BY MACHINE
Western Union Operators Forced to
Use Instruments in Sending.
Talk of Strike l. Practically Aban-
doncd by TelCEruphCrs in
New York City.

New York, June 1.-Strike clouds which
have been lowering over the offices Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company for
some weeks seem TO have been almost
completely dissipated tonight. and there
was dearth Of talk from the hcadquar-
tcrs of the union
Investigation developed that the expla-
nation Of this condition and cf the sur
prising independence and Indifference of
the Western Union officials 10 the strike
talk could be traced largely TO the new
machine for the transmission and receiv-
ing Of messages which is rapidly being
installed by the Western Union
While the machine is not absolutely
new and has been used expcrimertalIy
for some time. it is said that its real value
had not been made apparent until tho
present crisis between the operators aud
the company, and it is only within the
last few days that the possibilities of the
machine and its effect on the future of
the telegraphers have been appreciated
by members Of the operators union.
The machine, which is known rs the
Barclay. named after John Barclay. vice
president of the Western Union. and its
inventor and former owner. obviates the
necessity of trained operators. as any per-
son capable Of operating an ordinary
typewriter being qualified to use the ma
chine. which produces greater accuracy
and speed than can possibly he obtained
by the most skilled operator.
Mr.. Barclay. who sold his patent to the
Western Union claims that the use Of
the machine will result in IS per cent
reduction of operating expenses, while
the efficiency Of the service is increased
50 per cent. The saving in expense comes
from the fact that girls who could be
secured at from Sc TO S a week. can do
the work of operators who now receive
an average Of $50
Members of the telegraph union do not
accord Nr Barclays invention an the
virtues claimed for il.

the train had to stop, and sometimes stay
on the track for an hour. until the tracks
were clear ahead. Something like that,
he said. was what was needed in this
country 90 make rairoading safe.
Two Impressive Things.
In closing his Interesting talk Mr. Hart
said there were two things of which he
ought TO speak specifically. one OF them
was the perfect arrangements made by
the Shriners in California for the COM
fort OF the thousands Of visitors from all
parts of the country. Mr. Hart said these
thousands of visitors literally had the
freedom Of the city and Of everything
therein. Each on the day OF his arrival.
was given a book of coupons which ad-
mitted him 10 ali places OF entertainment
These coupons were not only tickets Of
admission 10 such special occasions as
the Indian Crafts Exhibit Pasadena
Day" and various features Of Los An
geles Day" but each was mine of in
formation about how 20 proceed to vari-
Gus places without a guide The coupons
also carried such side issues as Spanish
Lunch" with an auto ride around Glen
dale and TropicO. Another provided clam
ch0wder and an ocean ride To Rondo
Beach. There was thick volume OF cou-
pons, and with II one was turned loose
literally among the sights and beauties
Of Southern California without the posi-
bility of spending a cent of ones own
money.
Tho other thing which made the most
lasting impression upOn AIr Hart was
the Grand Canyon Of Arizona. This. he
said. was a sight 10 he surpassed by
nothing in the wav Of natural scenery on
the continent. Every American de-
clared Mr.. Hart. should save his money
and visit this wonderful place once in his
lifetime. II is the grandest most inspir-
ing slsht heneath The sun.

us TO our loss in things moral and spir-

on only when guided by the two essential
influences of the home and the school 90
