ther Of ,feie le added 10 tie other pay

applied 80 the debt in 1907, il will be
found that the whole fund of $500, 1000
dollars was dolly applied to tie debt in
that year. To theie two claims faid ls'r.
G. fha.l endeavor to give conciie but l
truR Satisfactory aniwers.
And in The frlf place, admit that if
the payment to the bank from The fales of
the bank flares, is to be conhdetcd as
payment from the tlnd Of dolls. 7, 3oo,o
OF if the remittances TO Holland to meet
initalments of 1903, are to Be conidered
as payment of the debt in 1902, then will
il appear (fuppoing the Ultimate Of remit
tances to be corrett) that the ccmm:flione,s
have applied the whole fund OF 7, 900, 600
dols. for 1901 TO the debt in that year.
Bur flight attention TO the documents
and the law, will prove that the claims
are unfounded. The fund of T 900, oso
