YORK LOAN CLAIMS NUMBER OVER
100,000,
Interim Dividend Likely to be Declared
Shortly by the National Trusts Com-
pany—Referee Rappels to Classify
Creditors.
Toronto, Oct. 7,—One hundred and
fourteen thousand claims, repreeentinS
about four million dollars, have been fil-
ed with the National Trust Company,
the liquidators of the defunct York
County Lome & Savings• Company. The
affairs of the company are now on a
fair way to a settlement, and it is un-
derstood that the liquidators will short-
ly bo prepared to announce the payment
of an interim dividend. The real estate
in the west end, which represented most
of the assets of the loan company, has
brought good prices, the properties hay
inngg greatly increased in value since the
failure. The sending out of the dividend
checks will entail a great deal of labor
on the part of the liquidators' clerks,
and it is estimated will cost in postage
and envelopes 55,000.
Counsel engaged in the settlement of
the company's' affairs had another eon-
erencc yesterday in the office of -Mr,
George Kappele, the official referee, at

all meetings will take place there, as

Wilson, Superintendent of 'Agricultural

from bags of nate on one car on its way
from Manitoba to Ontario. These Sam-

Although De Lobel, the aeronaut, lost
his lige by itis balloon falling into the
North Sea while competing in the race
which started from the'i'uilleries on Sun-
day, he gained the grand prize of the
Aero Club, he having covered 105 miles,
Tltie distance is iusignifica'nt compared

De Lobel, who pitted the balloon

had determined at all hazards to make

sented the Aero Club du Nord, His
temerity nearly cost him and his com-

A south wind' carried theta over the
North Sea between Belgium and Eng.

loss was ahead, he never hesitated until

Passed Awful Plight,
Dover, Oct. 7. --De Lobel and the Le-
pers were landed at Dover by the Ger-
man
erman steamer Patani, which rescued
them. Tiley say they passed the night
in clouds of awful darkness. There was
nothing to indicate the position of the
balloon, They opened the valve, and
as they descended found they were near-
ing the sea.
They hoped to cross the channel, but
a change itt the wind carried thein over
the North Sea, which they struck 25
utiles from Ostend. They were thrown
into the water, but grasped the cordage
and regained the balloon. Do Lobel tied
himself to the car and the Lepers to the
rigging.
They passed several hours thus, look-
ing out for a ship. When the Patens
'sighted them she lowered a boat and
rescued them, after which the balloon
again soared. It was subsequently se-
cured off Aldeburgh.

NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS ARE
PUT IN FORCE.
The Half Ounce Unit Raised—The Stamp
Will Now Carry Twice What It Did
Hitherto—Coupons for Stamps,
Ottawa, Oct, 7. --The new postal regu-
lations governing the transmission of
firet•elass mail matter between Canada
aril Great Britain and most of the
British colonies and foreign countries
in the postal union, went into effect
to -day. Perhaps the most important
feature is reisittg of the unit of letter
weight from one-half to one ounce.
'rhue, instead of paying postage at the
rate of two cents per Imlf ounce on
letters to addraesos in Great Britain,
the rate now la two cents per ounce,
the same as prevails throughout
Canada. Similarly, in the ease of
letters for foreign countries, the aboli-
tion of the half -ounce reit means that
letters weighing one ounce can now be
mailed for the same rate as has been
charged previously for the half -ounce.
Thus a letter addressed to France or
any other foreign European country
now costs five conte per ounce, instead
of five cents per half ounce, with three
cents for each additional ounce, instead
of five cents for each additional ounce.
A 'two -ounce letter addressed to a for-
ciga country now costs eight cents for
postage, whereas the former rate was
twenty cents. An "ounce letter can be
mailed, as stated, for five cents in place
of ten, and one weighing an ounce and
a half costs Dight cents, in place of
fifteen cents at the rates formerly in
force.
Another edvantage of the new postal
scheme is the adoption of a system of
coupons that may he exchanged in
most foreign countries for stamps to be
placed on letters intended for delivery
in the Dominion. These coupons will
shortly he issued by the Poatoffioo Da-
pertment, with the requisite instructions'
to peotmastere. The use of the coupons
is to cover return postage, A Canadian'
correspondent writing to Paris, for exam-
ple, instead of enclosing a Freneh then
centstamp for, reply, may now enclose
instead a six -cent coupon, the latter
being exchangeable in Paris for a five -
tent stamp.
