clal and producing interests the

A novel feature of the bill is I pro-
vision that the Company shall depos-
It SllO in the Treasury of the United
States for each 81 900 Of bonds issued,
instead of providing an annual pay
ment to a sinking fund. They claim
that as this amount at compound in
terest would pay the bonds at matur-
ity, the liability of the Government
would be limited to the payment of
the annual interest on the bonds and
as security for this the Company pro-
pose to give the government a first

have in its hands all sums of money
